    No doubt. If Classified Quick Kick isn’t a half-naked barefoot Asian guy, I’m gonna be bummed. Haha. But, like you said, spare feet and some kind of optional jacket/vest/gi would be a good idea.

    I got the Gridiron Rock ‘n Roll kit. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Though it might look better without the vest. Has anyone tried it that way? CC5EC3D4-6C3D-452C-97EE-0C752264DB86.jpeg

    With the greatest respect, please don’t speak for me - I’d want it for pure nostalgia as I had the original as a child, that’s where my personal desire for it comes from.

    You’d have to look at the Pulse site to see ETA on those figures. Otherwise I don’t think we know an ETA on the rest of the line yet.

    I've got the individual volumes. They are pretty cool,think I'm backing this for the extra content.

    You say that. However, those look like boots to me. Screenshot_20220123-123051_YouTube.jpg

    Yeah, I backed the first three original floppy volumes, but I'm down for the oversized HC in a slipcase with extra content.

    Except the 25th version is not based on the figure from your childhood. Unless you are a child from the 2000’s.

    I'm still bummed that we didn't get Sci-fi being that he was in the game and the original direction of the line focused on that aspect.

    Still fingers crossed for him and SE V3.

    Seriously?? o_O 

    Just by looking at that box, this is not collector grade to me @8h3eZy as it's been bounced around and taken some damages. Otherwise than that, I have to be at the mercy of my local hobby store to wait and see when they get the shipment in.

    Hopefully that Pulse has another opportunity open for us that got screwed over on the first try.
