well.... it looks good... except for the " insert _____ in mouth" face.


Got to ask, why the open mouth on the sculpt?
In my opinion, it really ruins the head.

Mate this work is a really headache
The reason why an expression head is simple, on our previous products we had SO MANY request of persons asking: "Why a face without expression? We have too many face without expression what we need is a screaming guy."

And of course now we made an expression head everybody is asking: "Why and expression head, is much better a standard face"

Mate, as we said in other forums for KP02A and Legionary we are forced to retouch a bit the prices in Europe..

Thanks mate,
I did stated on my previous posts that the price is still great.
Just wondered about the causes of prices differences.
I don't follow a lot of 1/6 forums so thank you for clarifying it here too.


About the screaming face.
Well if you don't like it just don't get it guys ^^
Simple as that.

I appreciate the promptness of your reply. oh well. Just means I need to keep looking for a good long-haired sculpt.




An opinion to consider, with poseable figures, EXTREME expressions like this one, make it difficult to use the head in any except a very few "appropriate" poses.

A subtle, " angry" face would have worked much better.
A good example of subtle rage would be hot toys wolverine, or medicom Darth Maul.
While i can see that many felt the first head is too passive, this one goes to the other extreme and is too expressive.
somewhere in the middle would have worked wonders.
or, failing that, including a second headsculpt.

I think that kaustik team probably tested the waters before putting out this HS.
Some will be happy with that very expressive face.
Others don't.

BTW if you're looking for a long haired HS try the HT narrow one, the one with the gambit head

PLENTY of heads to buy without expressions. Personally I welcome companies thinking outside the box and doing an expession now and then.

Not real happy with the sculpt. Was hoping for a Conan like one(I know this is a type of barbarian look). Still I will be getting the body.

I think the sculpt may be throwing some of you without context and costume.. put that sculpt on a figure dressed like Conan or a gladiator or even a vampire and I dare you to say it doesn't work.

You like bashing 1/6 blow-up dolls?

Depends on the pose. in combat, works great.
Hair is a little too... calm for the expression, however, and too "clean " looking for a barbarian.
but posed standing there, relaxed, it would look somewhat off.. or sitting, it would most certainly look off.

body language + headsculpt is key. if the facial expression, and the body language do not match up, the figure looks tar-tar.

The body is still awesome, and I'll still get one regardless, i'll just likely never use the head.

Scratch that, some repaint, and minor sculpt tweaking, it would work as a zombie.


Question to Kaustic plastic, what hands will the one with the head, AND the one without the head come with?
If the headless version is going to come wtih the same hands as the one with the head, I'll just ssave myself some money.

Still hoping to hear more movement on that fantasy figure you mentioned as well.

LOL. Only the ones that look like you my sweetie mouth.

But I like this sculpt, so not sure where you got the basis for your joke.

in all honesty fabio, the afro american hs looks okay, the likeness is def there and it does resemble terry crews but a young version, would have preferred a current vers but maybe thats what you guys were going for to dodge licensing issues and what not.

I feel like his african features need to be more prominent like the bridge of his nose needs to be wider and slightly thicker lips, his cheeks r rounded and gives him a babyface, thats why i said it seems its a young vers, it needs to be thinned out to give him that defined muscular/manly chiseled angular face. theres something about his features that makes him look a bit white too, cant pin point it, might just be that thin nose bridge lol.

This is just my humble opinion and some constructive criticism/feedback for kp, i know u guys r a new company but in the 1/6 scale world people r gonna compare hs quality to the top dogs, i do take into account that this is also not in that price range and all but just want to give u feedback so u guys can continually develop and improve as u have the potential to get up there, that being said ill still be gettin this figure and its still a great job overall. WELL DONE

p.s i think it was a good move to do the open mouth hs as to offer some variety to whats out there though paint apps on this proto is not that great in my opinion.

Digging the Afro American body and head. Might go headless with the white guy though just because I can't think of a use for the head with long hair. I'm sure Seb will come up with something brilliant though.
