    Mars Toys 1/6 Riddler (Frank Gorshin)

    Mars seems to be genuinely committed to this line. Like many 3rd-party/unlicensed makers they're probably collectors themselves producing figures for fellow collectors. It's all going down in good faith within a small niche community. Pricing is a difficult thing for small companies. From...

    Mars Toys 1/6 Riddler (Frank Gorshin)

    I'm not feeling this. The sculpt is clearly underwhelming. It will be a good enough option to fill out a '66 rogues gallery considering there isn't any other Riddler out there, but it would benefit from some improvement. Based on one figure alone, the '66 Joker, Mars did very well, but they...

    Blitzway: Black Label - Michael Jackson

    The rooted hair looks terrible. The sculpted is fine and more than adequate for what they're trying to achieve with accuracy to the sculpt. However, at this scale rooted can and should be done better. It's always a troubling decision to opt for a lesser version knowing there's a "premium"...

    Mezco Indiana Jones

    The additional sculpts aren't very interesting. I wish there was sculpt with Indy's signature smirk rather than the one that looks like he's squeezing a fart and another that looks like he just realized it was actually a full-on shart. Those sculpts are useless for any alternate display options...

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    After receiving my Joker and seeing how InArt innovated the concept and construction of rooted hair I'm glad I chose this option. I'm not particularly a fan of rooted hair on 1:6 figures, but this is totally different from what we've dealt with in past - it's rooted, but stiff and rigid so it...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "TOS" Figures (The Original Series)

    Too many questions. Who knows really? I don't think we're meant or entitled to understand. Are they prototypes, final sculpts, experiments from years ago... we'll never know. At best we can glean this is very much a work in progress until the final product is officially revealed or delivered...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "TOS" Figures (The Original Series)

    I It is. There was some typically cryptic caption that didn't explain anything about these sculpts, but they do look better than what we saw before.

    EXO-6 Star Trek "TOS" Figures (The Original Series)

    These look a lot better. Much better! Maybe some paint work and concentrating on capturing Hunter's/Pike's glassy blue eyes and we'll have something.

    EXO-6 Star Trek "TOS" Figures (The Original Series)

    I always wanted a Randy Travis figure and now I can have one dressed as Captain Pike.

    Saturn Toys 1/6 '66 Batman and Robin

    Baggy diaper shorts, no fat suit under Batman's outfit to give him that distinct dad-bod appearance, suit looks loose around Batman's upper sleeves, Robin's sleeves are ill-fitting, a stiff looking cape (on both) and Batman's face is stretched with eyes too close, looking almost like Mr Spock...

    1/6 INART (Queen Studio) - The Dark Knight - Joker Collectible Figure

    That's funny, I hated the box and thought it was a ridiculous pompous attempt at showmanship from InArt... until I actually opened it! Once I lifted the art box and pried apart the foam inserts, saw the careful layout of components, and came to realize the size all made perfect sense. InArt...

    Mars Toys 1/6 Catwoman (Batman '66)

    I feel the same. It's one thing to have a sculpt painted almost completely flat white in clown makeup and quite another to achieve a realistic and nicely nuanced complexion. We could have a whole separate topic thread on how bad 1:6 female bodies have typically been and how poorly they work with...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "Voyager" Figures

    Waitlist reservations on Sideshow just started to open up late last week. They seem to have stock now.

    Hot Toys - MMS539 - Infinty War - Star-Lord

    That's true, but they're still simply inspired by a specific era of the look and outfit of the character while adapting and altering them in ways for the screen. Marvel is being more respectful, and that's great fan service, but there's always some adaptation that's needed to bring a character...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    The licensing stuff is all very complicated and inconsistent. It all depends on what the actor contractually agreed to with the studio regarding their likeness. In some cases they may secured some seriously tight and costly rights and in other cases they may not have had much power to negotiate...

    Hot Toys - MMS539 - Infinty War - Star-Lord

    Will the comic readers really celebrate these new costumes? I'd like to see how their party goes. :cautious: Lol! You'll always get those keyboard warrior gatekeepers who think they have some entitled status to the Marvel (or any publisher) universe because they once read the original comics. I...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

    I know I'm in some niche minority, but I thoroughly enjoyed GOTG2 and preferred it to the first GOTG film. My general enthusiasm for MCU films settled many years ago and even mega-juggernauts like Endgame left me only mildly entertained, but GOTG2 really had me at every level. It was one of the...

    Is Hot Toys Past Their Prime?

    I thought Hot Toys hit their peak just over 10 years ago (around 2012), while settling into complacency when they got deep into the Marvel licensing with the first Avengers film and shortly later with Disney and Star Wars. They were good enough at what they did that they could cut back on...

    Kaustic Plastik / Infinite Statue - 1/6 Hammer Horror of Dracula

    This is the kind of thing Executive Replicas could have done at one time and possibly even today. It is a little niche and maybe too European for them, but they did handle all sorts of niche retro horror, sci-fi and pulp serial properties without worrying about how obscure they were. I mean...

    Kaustic Plastik / Infinite Statue - 1/6 Hammer Horror of Dracula

    The teeth-gritting face is very accurate, but it may not be the sculpt we need. Maybe there's a better expression they could have gone with for the third sculpt option. I understand what KP was trying to do here by giving us a third fighting expression for both Dracula and Van Hellsing to...
