I contacted Blitzway for an update and received this response this morning! View attachment 287412
Even though the sculpt is good, it's not by a long shot, at the top of an "all sculpts" list. It's still super idealized/stylized/simplified which is unfortunately HT's signature even when they get a good likeness. What I meant by salvageable is the figure as a whole. The gown is absolutely terrible, but the head sculpt and some serious futzing can make it work - better is to replace the dress. Contrast with Luke which has both a poor head sculpt and poor clothing - even the accessories are lack-lustre. Along with the body though, the accessories are the only thing I've kept from ANH Luke. Leia is still on my shopping list along with a replacement gown.
This is going to be somewhat random...
HT's Don Vito, Blitzway's Carlito, Blitzway's Durdens, (these) Blitzway Ghostbusters (except Winston) even though they're all too wide/chubby, QMx's Kirk & Spock, Threezero's Heisenberg - I have to stop or I won't have time to make breakfast.
Is PO'ing through Blitzway directly the only route to go? I've never PO'd a BW product before, so I'm not sure who their retailers in the States are, if any.
I know BBTS sells Blitzway products but not sure who else does.
The suspense for this is killing me!
Then the prices will finish you off
Except these are grail pieces so they have to be acquired.
I'm wondering if there will be an "exclusive" to any of these. The only thing I've read (from board members who attended SDCC and were told this information) was that if you get the 4-pack of figures, Slimer is included. Not sure if Slimer is available otherwise? Hope that option is available through some of the mainstream retailers (BBTS, EE, TW, etc) and not a regional exclusive.
