Got my figures today as well. So much fun to get a big ol' box of stuff like this...
Oh, and Boot
OHMSS Bond...
Kind of an underrated gem, really. Rock-solid head sculpt, strong paint, and a surprisingly effective outfit. I've wanted one for
years and never pulled the trigger. Glad I finally did, especially for 15 buckeroos.
I'm also glad I spent $12 (though for a completely different reason) on my Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Islan...I mean, my Scaramanga from TMWTGG. It's actually nicely done overall, but I'm struggling to see how a repaint could bring even a
little Christopher Lee out of this sculpt. No matter, I had to have one; After all, he
is The Man With The Golden Gun and I'm glad I could get him at a bargain basement price.
I haven't opened any of the others yet, but I'm sure I'll love them, too. If nothing else, it's fun to take a stroll down Sideshow memory lane. There are elements to these figures that aren't quite up to snuff for today's market, but damned if they're not still top-quality products, and for us legitimate Sideshow Freaks, they carry bucket loads of charm...
Now that you mention it, this ABoyd sale actually was more exciting than Spook this year.
