Damn nice figure. I have a body coming from Ebay for a custom along with the full figure. I really can wait for either of them.

Dino video was awesome man. Love the black shirt look.

pop off the head is very easy, much more than in other figures, pop off it is the best option to prevent damage in the T-shrit

Do you own any of the Rambo (rubber body) figures? Those were VERY hard to pop off. I suppose if its easy i'll give it a try. The neck is what worries me.

Putting on the Tao necklace on the Rambo 3 figure scared the life out of me. I purchased after it had already appreciated and was worried about cracking a $250 figure

That won't happen here. It is nice to not be late to the game.

If the head pops off as easy as Wolverine, no worries.

Totally. I mean that thing looks sad now. I remember getting tons of compliments when I showed people my T2 setup. Now its just Toys R Us quality.

Yup. It was nice being able to slip Wolverines dog tags over his head without having to remove the sculpt.

Good to know. I've never removed Wolvies sculpt.

you are right, i have the rambo III figure and i cant pop off the head to put the necklace , i also own hellboy (rubber body) and this is more easy , but in the t-800 is really easy , no damage in neck and no problem to put the head on/off

I did originaly for the dog tags and another time to measure the neck for a friend looking into using the body for a custom.

the number one in the worst neck joint is:.........

i think that all predators line, my chopper is glued 2 times

Does anyone like what they did with the DX Bats, using the magnet technique? I liked it .............. it would be nice if they made a 100% switch. That and maybe magnetic wrist pegs too.

i dont like the magnet joint in the dx batman but they must work in a better joint if they will go to include 2 head in the future dx figures

 

[tigerknight]

Why didn't you like it. I preordered one and should be here in July.

Who took off their shirt to get head?

It's nice, but, I find sometimes, the magnet strength will shift the head out of certain postions I move it into, the ball joint, wherever you pose it, it stays. The magnet's a nice option for figures where you can't make a hair door to the PERS, but as a standard, I prefer the ball joint.

 

[tigerknight]

Alright thanks for that info.

I like solid figures that dont loose the head in an accidental fall

I think the switch would be unnecessary. It makes sense on DX Batman because of the nature of its PERS function, which requires frequent removal of the head to use. With regular figures, the average collector won't remove the head very often, or at all. Also, making a switch to a magnetic head would make it so much tougher for customizers to work with if they want to use a different body and so forth.

Also, I don't believe that magnets are the perfect solution to whatever problem that people think exists that would require magnets to be used. It can be hard to make small, minute positions on the DX Batman head because sometimes the magnet would snap the head to one direction. Magnets are funny that way.

I like what we have now. Ball jointed necks have been in use for a long time and there's nothing broken with it, so no need for a fix. I've never had any problems with removing the head off of any of my figures in the past. It can be a bit scary if a bit of force is needed, but with the newer figures it couldn't have been easier.

Terrific review, Dino. He does look better in the video than in pics somehow. I'm tempted to get multiples now based on that alone.

 

[darthjuan007]

Just got mine!!!

 

[Valfar]

i really hope Toys2 has this in tomorrow or at least early next week, dying to get this one though, i think i may still favor Aldo Raine over him, at least the sculpt but, not the over all love for the character between the two.
