Just picked up HT Leia,Luke Excl, Han Excl, Chewie, Sandtrooper and SS Biker Scout for €940. Retail here would be around €1500. Gotta wait until I'm baxk from holiday to open them though
Surprised no one is talking about these. Blitzway Ghostbusters 1/6 Scale Figures Updated Pics and Info - The Toyark - News I am in for all 4. Super excited. He looks weird to me. Chest seems too small and it makes the head look big.
It seems to be an open mouth head sculpt like a mid speech look that makes the head look big. Not sure if I want him though.
I can't wait for deadpool (and disco, and ultron mk 1). Something about the ghostbusters heads just don't look quite right. I'd love to see hot toys versions of the ghostbusters, but it doesn't seem likely.
Was interested in Deadpool, going to wait and see how widespread this issue is: https://youtu.be/0m2gHg7WA18?t=1m29s Apparently, changing the hands absolutely shreds the suit. Hopefully it's not widespread, the figure looks killer. I'll have to jump on it when my comic shop gets it in if its an isolated issue, they sold out of Sideshow Deadpool almost instantly so I imagine this one will sell out even faster.
I really want all four, but I wish their release was staggered. $850 for all of them plus the extras is actually a steal. But it's still $850 all at once. Yeah, that's pretty crappy. Clipper's seemed to be affected as well, but nearly as bad. Certainly will be the first point of inspection when I receive mine. I may even consider brushing on superglue around that edge for a layer of protection. Everything else on the figure seems great, though.
It's why I usually wait for the sideshow late release if you buy HT figures when they first come out there are often issues, but by the 2nd or 3rd run, the ones that make it to Sideshow a month or two after asian release, they have usually fixed up some of the bugs that can be fixed.
That's good to know. I almost always buy HT from Sideshow anyways. But I just assumed they were from the same run as Asian releases, and the cause for the delay was shipping. With such volume I assumed SS's product arrived via ground shipping.
I'm wondering if the issue is from twist the hand while on the peg. I don't think it would shred like that just from sitting there.
The other possibility could be if the covering on the fabric is rubberized. If that's the case it could be sticking to the inside of the hand and peeling off when removed. The rubbing from twisting the hands could be exacerbating this.
It's actually pretty great considering all the stuff you get. HT would be over a grand easily. I love HT but am really happy to see another company give them some competition. Plus HT would take years to put them all out if ever. I cancelled a couple pre orders and have sold a few things. I'd rather get them all in one shot. Pricey but worth it. Takes the figure to a new level.
Was able to get a Deadpool preorder in from BBTS. Someone must have cancelled theirs as it now shows "Preorder Sold Out".
True. I'm just not a fan of the head sculpts. They just don't seem to capture the essence of the characters. Oh well. I'd actually like to see some ghostbusters from bandai or medicom.
Ended up grabbing a SS White Proto Fett for $140 shipped EMS from Australia. And since Rebels brought back the proto look as a legit Mando armor, He'll look great next to the OT storm troopers.
