" redesigned by Threezero as inspired by Hasbro’s retro G.I. Joe characters" So this sounds exactly like how Sideshow described their line. Guess we'll see what they actually come up with. Unfortunately, the "inspired by" lines will not appeal to all ARAH fans, just depends on the design. For...

I do agree somewhat on wanting articulation on my figs... otherwise I would collect statues. None of my figures are in a standard museum pose, but I only use the articulation when the shelf has the space, or it won't cause undo stress on the figure. But that said, articulation/posing is all...

Think a little? How can you suggest that cost of production doesn't impact pricing strategy? That's the reason I brought it up. Whether customers understand it or not, it's cost of production that dictates profitability. Quite frankly, cost of production impacts pricing strategy much more than...

Guess it depends on how much a collector "plays" with their R2. My SS R2 doors are certainly loose, but if I'm not moving him around, the doors stay where they are supposed to. Holds poses just fine. The Hot Toys might be better, but it wasn't better enough to be worth an upgrade, particularly...

Pretty impressive set.

I still have many of the older GI Joes, and the improvement over the older figure is absolutely night and day... body, cut & sew tailoring, paint on headsculpts/accessories are far better. Are they Hot Toys quality? Nope. But miles better than they used to be. Comparing Sideshow bodies to Hot...

I strongly agree. To have ab articulation would mean a jointed torso (to keep the torso armor). That would not be ideal, and everyone would complain about it the same way everyone complained about the HOT TOYS JL Aquaman. A hard armor look for Gambit would also be much more preferred than some...

I think it was mentioned in a previous post, but I don't believe that it is the case that if Hot Toys has the license, no one else can have one. More importantly, having the license to produce products from a property does NOT mean the company can make whatever they want. The owners of the...

Sideshow does outsource to Asia. The factories that produce Sideshow products are all in Asia. Still costs more, as the pricing is likely different (no one outside of Sideshow would know the pricing for outsourcing the factories), and obviously costs of US employees, overhead, infrastructure...

Wrong. I've said this many times, and I'll keep saying it. It is unrealistic to expect American or UK companies to produce figures at the same price point as Asian companies. It's unrealistic, and quite frankly, a little ridiculous. I haven't been to China recently, but as an example, I visited...

This was a far more exciting reveal than yet another Mandalorian character that was barely seen, and has no significance. I'm sure this will be @$250 and therefore too expensive for what it is, but I'm excited about the possibility of this line. With the new partnership with TBLeague, we could...

In the booth tour where they first revealed the figure, she did say that it was alternate hair for the long hair look. She never mentioned a secondary portrait.

Looks great! Exactly as I was hoping, basically a 1/6 version of the Premium Format figure. Very excited about it. Really hope they do the same with a Lex Luthor power suit. Even Cyclops looks better in the vid, than in pics. It would be great if they could have a substantial lineup, but so...

I'm still hoping the head colour is close enough to be able to swap the grimace faces vs the stoic face.

Justin's reviews have high production quality, but it always cracks me up when he suggests any doubt that he was going to pick up a figure. Whether he was using this suit in the game or not, he fully intends on buying EVERY figure released. Awesome looking suit, and so much better than the MCU...

The original figure was listed at 11.75 inches, but that included the "ears" on his mask. I measured mine to the top of the head was a little over 11 and 1/8 inches. So it wouldn't scale exactly to 5'3", more like 5'6" or 5'7". But placed beside more modern figs (which all seem to be slightly...

I'm not sure about the stand, though. It doesn't really look like Bespin at all. Maybe trying to go for a Dagobah look, but it doesn't look much like that either. Ah well, I'll wait to see what the product launch looks like. The original kit really was spectacular. I still kick myself for not...

The review that Bangkok wolf posted, shows them standing side by side at the end of the review.

Wrong. Threezero is a Chinese company. Sideshow is a US company. Show me any product you can buy, from cars to toothbrushes, where US companies can provide the products at the same price as Chinese ones. I think that ALL 1/6 figs are a little overpriced these days, but people need to stop...

That's great, thanks!! This figure does come with instructions... I think it's just me...
