ACI releases their Gladiator (Andrew) muscular body

[KashmirKong]

So I guess these bodies aren't going to come with heads then?

Good. Heads are probably ACI's weakest point and it's nice not to have a dozen heads no one wants.

oo.. hadn't considered using it for thor..... wonder how solid the elbow joint is ....

I just got the Flamma body from TA, this body looks really nice, but here's some things to know.

- All plastic, no use of rubber like Hot Toys
- Shoulders are limited to forward and back swivel, but, with the arms at the sides, you can elevate outward more than the HT muscle bodies, so for some weapon holding poses, I think this body would be better.
- Comparing overall mass, I'd say this body is somewhere between the Barney Ross / Whiplash body and the Wolverine body.

I want a Robert Patrick T2 type body and an Arnie body.

I think it would be great for Thor. Its really tight and racheted... you'll have to exert effort bending the elbows to the point you'd think you'd break it.
I think its so tight it can actually support a real carpenter's hammer

For those who don't know, this is what Bryan, a representative of ACI Toys said today:

Dear all,

We are listening.

Retail Price will be reduced by about 12% from about US$50 to $44 each
Version 0 will be about $42 each.
Exact Retail price will have minor difference based on different countries and regions. Please kindly contact your retailers and distributors for the new adjusted price.

My friend,
I have already decided last nite to reduce the MSRP & wholesales, in response to certain demand for a cheaper price of andrew from our fellow customers. This is not owing to price competitiveness and quality comparison.
It's mainly to make all of us a bit happy! We need more happiness and joy nowadays!
I know it's still not good enough for part of our customers as we cannot satisfy 100% in the market.
However, 12% reduction of price is already maximum adjustment from us to make it profitable hopefully (assuming the demand will be greater enough to compensate the significant reduction of price and also, the molding cost of production)
Honestly, i really don't know if this move is completely positive for running ACI, but, at least i hope it would making more of our old customers who would like to "taste" our products more happily. Moreover, more of customers to grab Andrew in their own hands who never bought a minor piece from ACI , letting our small team to show our endeavour and eagerness to bring quality products to the customers. I think "Andrew", our new born baby, will do the rest telling our customers the answers and what's he worth by himself.
One more thing please.
We sincerely request your kind support for Andrew with a lower price, so that we could keep running .
Thanks for your supports!

Bryan

Awesome!

Glad they lowered there selling price. The lack of a head should have kept the price down in comparison to the HT muscle body which comes with one for just a little bit more.
