Asmus: Bitten

[Life_m2000]

Definitely waiting for in hand pics but if they turn out great I’ll definitely get one of these to go with my RE figures.

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve a few RE figures. Think these would go well with them. I got the Hunk figure a while back, could be good to pose with him. Might look to see if I could get a lab coat for one of them.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I have "2" figures that only come out on Halloween: Sideshow's venerable "London After Midnight" and one of their zombies.

They stand on display, one on each side of the candy bowl.

Is preordering direct from Asmus Toys the way to go? I’m assuming you will get your figures first from there. And the price plus shipping usually the cheapest?

 

[Buttmunch]

I personally wouldn’t recommend ordering from them directly. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. If there are any issues you’re likely not going to see them resolved quickly or at all if the Ash situation is anything to go by.

I’d recommend going with a retailer. Knowing any issues would be taken care of is more important to me than quicker or possibly slightly cheaper. These may not end up looking anything like the prototypes so not being the first isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it gives you a chance to see some in hand pics before paying them off. Again, Ash really burned their reputation so I’d recommend being cautious until they’ve reproved themselves.

Where are the cuffs and the brief case?

Where are the cuffs and the brief case?

The BBICN announcement had the original photos as well, but I didn't post them again since they're already in the thread. But the items aren't listed in the specs any more though, only in the story.

 

[JacktheRipper]

They'll probably end up in a later release, if this line goes anywhere. Both items should have been included with this release. It's a pivotal item connected to this figure in their storyline.

Interesting interchangeable mouth pieces. Don't know if I like them or not. Both figures have those lines coming down on the sides of the mouth. I noticed them prior to knowing about the mouth pieces, now they are glaring.

I don’t care for that either. It makes them look like puppets…

 

[scumonkey]

If you look closly they appear to be the same fig mold painted two different ways.

 

[PersonOfTheYear]

So did anyone here preorder from Asmus site? For some reason their prices there are significantly cheaper than anywhere else...I wonder why that is the case.

 

[SigitoSutasmano]

Caption said codename: Johnson but the upper photos is codename: Jackson, and the lower photo is codename: Johnson. Is Asmus at it again?

 

[stoodles77]

I really do hope they turn out as good as the pics. Anyone know when the release date is. Sites say Oct-Dec 2022. We're halfway through Dec!

 

[Nagoya]

It feels like it's been forever since these were teased. Asmus went MIA on the forum and just had their IG hacked. Wouldn't be surprised if they push releases out a bit further..

 

[PersonOfTheYear]

Saw this on Asmus facebook page. Looks like it’s going to release soon. Also new unannounced zombies

 

[PersonOfTheYear]

Looks like the figure is out and ready to ship on the asmus store

Anyone ordered?

 

[Buttmunch]

Waiting to see more pics of these guys. After Ash, Asmus really lost a lot of my trust in preordering from them.

These require a high level of finish for them to look good. Curious if they will deliver

 

[DioramaMaker]

Those release shots above look like a steep downgrade tbh.

An odd property to produce, considering Asmus has been having quite a few hiccups that I'm sure aren't great for business. With a significantly waning zombie interest but the general audience, it seems unwise to invest in it.

 

[PersonOfTheYear]

It’s been a few weeks since release yet I can’t find any photos of the final product online from collectors. Anyone here purchase this?
