    While I agree that the finish on the plastic rims could be improved, I think higher gloss paint along with quality weathering could achieve that. I get where you’re coming from wanting metal rims, but die-cast metal is typically pretty cheap with a dull finish. To get the inherent sheen that...

    ????? I don’t see how changing the rim material changes this particular conversation - diecast rims can be painted different colors as readily as plastic ones.

    Maybe we’ll find out that it was the Kyber crystal from his Jedi lightsaber, his Jedi master’s lightsaber, or the crystal belonging to the first Jedi that he killed. :horror

    Unless it’s a holographic Tupac, but I’m guessing the cost for that would be a tad higher lol. :chase

    I ordered the Clean Deluxe (really wanted the Meow sculpt) and the Battle Damaged Basic. For those who are doing a similar combination, order the Deluxe first and wait for Kit to process the order and give you the associated reward points ($5+). Then when you order the Basic you can apply...

    Perhaps disingenuous is the wrong word, but on the one hand you’re complaining about losing tiny diecast claws given the the marginal price creep and yet gloss over the inclusion of the moving eyes within the same price point, which most will agree is by far the more premium feature. You also...

    Jazzinc Dioramas 1/6 Ultimate Catwoman (Batman Returns, 1992)

    It’s also a bit disingenuous to criticize Joost about potential design details because he shares info during product development that no other manufacturer would ever provide us. The fact is, no features are “advertised” as being “part of the package” until the product is up for order. Until...

    I think when he started with this he said he wanted to keep a basic, clean offering under $300. Of course that was before he invited a few thousand more cooks into his kitchen and solicited their opinions lol. As for the comparisons to HT and InArt, neither of them offer deluxes with 3 unique...

    Base figures are $310 (Clean) and $340 (BD), so he didn't miss by that much.

    Now there's an oxymoron for you lol...

    This would have swayed Howard Chan to make both of them, if only you'd put demand in ALL CAPS as well as bold italic letters. :lol

    When did Joost say the hands with claws would be 3D printed? I don't think that's the case. Regardless, if the magnetic base seems sketchy (which I think is unlikely given Joost's engineering acumen) I'll just use a crotch grabber or waist grabber. I think it's time for you to let your...

    Normally I'd agree with you but these claws will be @1/4" long at the maximum (including the thimble part that goes over her finger tip) and having them separate metal pieces will just be 10 more parts to potentially fall off when posing her. At this scale having them part of the plastic hands...

    Yeah, I think that's the case there.

    IDK if it's just riding up too high in that video but that double belt design makes it look like he has no torso. It's like the SW version of grandpa pants lol.
  16. The Buffinator

    Jazzinc Dioramas 1/6 Ultimate Catwoman (Batman Returns, 1992)

    Yes, but these claws are so small in this scale it makes no sense putting in the effort and cost to make them metal. Plus if they were shipped loose from the figure I guarantee you that people would mess up her hands (& probably their own) trying to put them on. If Joost has opted to make...

    No reuse allowed, but if you find two new $10 coupons, just place two separate orders and get $10 off of each. I only skimmed Joost's video - any mention of payment plans with OSK? He said in the past that plans would be available regardless of where we order. That said, I probably won't opt...

    Yeah, mine has been pushed back to January 14th as well. This is the third delay in the last couple of months. A little heads up this time would have been nice, but Joost is probably too busy right now prepping the launch of the Pfeiffer Catwoman to cut a video explaining the additional delay...
