ENTERBAY: Men In Black

[Buttmunch]

Hope it won't be too long before parts start going up on eBay. There's several exclusive Franks, one of which I might get, but no figures parted yet. Early days I guess..

I SOOOOO wish Toy Anxiety had EB stuff, I wonder why they don't!?

Because Enterbay charges too much for their figures and don't include enough parts to make them worthwhile. People won't want to spend $10 a hand, $55 for a shirt, $110 for a head, etc.

 

[Rogerbee]

I really don't think that's the case at all. HT charge just as much and yet TA stock a whole load of their figures and parts from them.

 

[Buttmunch]

No, thats the reason. TA themselves have said that. Unless Enterbay starts increasing part numbers and lowering cost, they won't break them down. Its hard for them to make over $225 per figure (retail cost) with what they come with currently. HT figures at that price come with a lot more than these guys.

 

[Rogerbee]

Fair enough,

Not many on eBay part stuff either, unless it's Leon or Bruce Lee!

 

[HPGR_Thrawn]

A few sellers are starting to part out some of the weapons.

 

[Rogerbee]

That much is true, but, they're just rayguns without the cool figures to go with them.

Here would be a possible part break down prices for J:

head sculpt $50
RM-6 body $35
black suit (jacket and pants) $30
white shirt $15
black belt $5
tie $5
socks $2
shoes $12
Four pairs of interchangeable hands $2 each ($16 total)
sunglasses $10
time jump device $8
the neutralizer $12
the alien orb $8
Frank and sunglasses $30
figure stand $5

Total:
$243

So some things might be a little on the high side, but they might be able to finally do it with these MIBs. K would probably fair a little better with all of the guns, but not much as J has the little gizmos and Frank instead.

No, thats the reason.

Fair enough

Excellent debate. If all the others were that easy.

I know right? I wish your typical internet debate could always be so simple.

 

[Science Friction]

..and here I paid $100 for the EB Agent K head, LOL. Maybe I should have waited, but it was the only thing I wanted from the line. It's such a great sculpt.

Are these supposed to hit stateside sometime next week?

 

[evilalive]

How about some more pictures to tide us over until we get ours? Pretty please?

Sure, but i just got tried with the new EB body and doing some modification right now. Shall take more pictures and share once done

 

[Buttmunch]

Only to those that pre-ordered through enterbay. Won't be till next month at the earliest for retailers.

I ordered mine on 6/20 and got my confirmation but it said they'll ship on the 24th on a first come, first serve basis depending on your order date. That's today so hopefully I'm in the first batch, though I may have cut it too close. Not that it matters as this is my birthday present from my awesome Dad and so I can't have 'em til August 18th, but still I always feel better knowing they arrive safely asap. Even if it doesn't ship today though, they said they will by the end of June...which this pretty much is the end of the month anyhow.

Not sure why but I'm just really super pumped for these figs. Maybe because it's finally something different other than Marvel/DC (which I'll always love) but still it'll be nice to have some variety in the detolfs. It could also be that Enterbay does fairly well at getting things out while the hype is still fresh. With HT, you could be waiting over a year from the announcement. With suckerpunch for example, I probably would have gotten babydoll if she'd been ready to go way back when. Waiting so long allows the hype train to die down a bit.

I love the MIB films; they're fun and dont take themselves too seriously, yet they are still entertaining with interesting characters. Just overall, fun popcorn Summer films

I also like that these figs are simple, but still very neat with killer headsculpts and really fun accessories. Anybody else get themselves pumped for a figure by watching the actors other films? Just watched No Country for Old Men the other day because I'm stoked to get that TLJ sculpt in-hand!

Ok...with past experience of doing body mod., i had give a a go with the new EB body. Unlike to their earlier body with 24hrs Jack, this time, little more works are required and i am please with the result.

Herewith the hybrid body for your interest....(sorry i didn't took any wip pix)

Feels like dancing.....woo, ha..ha.....ha..ha...

A quick mockup of " I am legend" with limited materials that i have in hand....

That would be reasonable, ok, yeah, the total might be a LOT, but, you're not paying that all at once.

Ha ha,

There wasn't much more I could say when presented with the facts.

Nice job, but, I'd actually prefer the EB design over HT's any day and those RM ankles are much more sturdy than the ones on Jack were. I have President Palmer and can see why you thought you needed to do the mod, but, later experience with the RM-5 has shown me that it isn't necessary with the newer bodies.

Got RM-5 myself but unfortunately, this body seems experiencing with their old issue though

 

[Rogerbee]

Oh, oh dear,

Is that down to the upper torso being ABS and not rubber? I know that's the problem with Palmer, there's too much upper body weight.

Thanks for the heads up, a switch to an RM-4 could work out.
