Yep, price more than anything else I’d say. At the $50 the Sideshow line started at over 20 years ago (ouch, that just made me feel old) these would have been decent sellers. At $275 not so much.

The part reuse is impressive in how well it’s done. With there really being about 2.5 body types in this first wave it’s amazing the difference in characters they made. Really smart part use.

Yeah the wooden floor base is easily skipped but the wings gave me pause. Ultimately I decided to order the deluxe through Sideshow. Not having the incredible shipping cost and able to use flex pay helped. I realized I just wouldn’t ever display him with the wings so getting it just to have...

If that’s a hair seam, it’s one of the best I’ve seen. It’s also possible with this potentially being and early prototype that the moveable eyes might not be a feature on this right now and still need to be worked in.

I’ve always found that strange. If they were really determined they probably could have set some money aside as a standard likeness rights fee and used it if an heir finally emerged. They could maybe avoid the lawsuit with the excuse of not being able to locate them but ready to pay them their...

Movable eyes seems to be the new standard for them over multiple heads, if the Phantom and London after midnight are any indication.

I could easily passed on the pathetic looking wooden stair base but the bat wings are a little more tempting. But with never having seen the actual movie, of course, I don’t have as strong an attachment to anything as I would say Frankenstein. Probably going to end up ordering the deluxe from...

They announced last week that they have the Universal Monsters license but have yet to specify what will be coming exactly. https://www.sideshow.com/whats-new/license-announcement-universal-monsters

Doubtful. The table is quite large, even on the NECA 1:10 version. I think there’d have shown that off if they were doing it. And frankly, covering up the figure you’re paying hundreds for doesn’t make sense to me as a display option. And too much for some quick photos. I’d guess just the...

I was surprised they had it up before Halloween. Really wanted to order but didn’t want to get burned by an exclusive.

That set up doesn’t have the site exclusives (alternate heads for Drac/Van Helsing or Phantom base/mask) so it’s still possible he may have an exclusive head. Looks like the doorway may be a deluxe version and the chair a separate add on? Still waiting on London After Midnight to see if they...

Not really sure about the velvet outfit but he does look franking fantastic!

I hope so too! I’d love if they did something similar to what NECA did and gave him alternate heads/hands to depict him at different ages. Knowing them, they’d each be locked behind a different level or exclusive but I’d rather the hoops to jump through to never having them available at all.

They did do reissues of the classic and ‘jolly’ Santa’s but most of the other variants have been one and one (in 6” anyway, I haven’t followed Eagle Force closely). But you’re right that they’re not against reissues in general. As a small business it’s not wise to limit what will sell so if...

Yeah that was a surprise, for better or for worse, after initially teasing him for SDCC and then radio silence after that tease with the Stinger video. They easily could have mentioned he’d be coming up soon during Pulse Con announcements. I just got the Monster Force figures last week and they...

Yeah if HT or someone was making a Penguin from this series, I think it would be that fur color coat look. I could see the white suit getting some attention but that felt more Kingpin to me. Fur coat or tuxedo are what I most associate with Penguin traditionally. Since I doubt we’re getting a...

That could be. I wouldn’t mind picking a few more up later on a sale or clearance but $55 is just too much for more than just a couple for me. I’d have liked an option without the Viper so it would have only been $30 or so for the modular bunker pieces.

Strange they limit it to 3 but then proceeded to show you what a dozen or so of them could look like together. Kinda hard to even come close to that with such a small limit.

Those animatronics sure are impressive. Just wish they had kept the classic designs. I understand the need to update them for copyrights but man would it have been cool to see likenesses of the original actors move like that.

I do typically order everything through pulse for ease. If a deal pops up before it releases at pulse I’ll cancel and go with the better price. Plus pulse has enough exclusives throughout the year to make it worthwhile even if you don’t factor in Haslab shipping. Ordering just a handful of times...
