Fears alleviated!

They're not that smart, but it would be fairly easy to create one.

are you willing to pay the license for the song just jist download it illegally for free?

Got this on PO at BBTS. Looks great in DK’s review. Should be pretty fantastic in hand

Yeah, the other head sculpt looks far better in DK's review. Never been disappointed with the majority of Kaustik's output. It's great to have a European based studio knocking out stuff that's not "mainstream".
Wish they would do a Starsky and Hutch, more so since David Soul's passing.

I quite liked it. The one thing that would really have topped the deluxe set with the jukebox would have been if the Happy Days logo could have been lit up in neon like it is in the titles.

So I got my set in- standard Deluxe. Very nice presentation, haven’t had time to set up blu-tooth for the juke box— but overall I give this an 8/10 — smiling head sculpt is a tad too toothy.

The website says that the exclusive is 200 pcs but i got #69 of 100. Did they end up making less of the exclusive.

I guess so, mine was #51/100.

Hey, you got the Fonz’ favorite number !

Kid you not, the head reminds me of the Jewish Merchant. If you know, you know.

I didn't know David Soul passed. fan of not just Starsky and Hutch but also LOVE Salem's Lot.

Something about those 70's movies were great. You really see trained actors and realistic locations, real sweat, just a lot of realism that today's movies lack. Everything today is to fake and lacks natural lighting and even today's dialogue is clunky.

I think it looks nice, the regular face looks perfect. The smiling face is well very ahem, merchant like. The hair find needs to be better. It looks soft compared to other higher end figures.

Just reading comments here, I realize guys who are hating, I mean really hating on the figure, seem to be guys who never intended to buy the figure or cannot afford the price tag.

I think the Price Tag is too high personally also, but paid it because it's a bucket list want. I was too young to see Happy Days but in syndication it was great.

My older brother worshiped the Fonz. My dad told me stories about how my brothers would always be glued to the TV waiting for the Fonz to appear.

Sure Happy Days jumped the shark literally, but the first few seasons was wonderful. Modern media hates boys and males in general, and seeing something like Happy Days gives me hope we can return to an era of family entertainment.

Bosley was a great father figure, Marian was a great loving wife and mother and Ritchie and Fonz had a good brotherly relationship. Reminds me of my brothers.

Is the figure "better" than the statue?

I forgot I PO'd the statue until I got the final payment notice.

Okay this looks better in Dean’s review. May reconsider it. I’ll probably just get the standard edition if I pick it up. I would kind of like the jukebox but kind of a large item.

The Jukebox is nice. Look around, something of that quality/look is about 100 dollars. Nothing on the Market I see is in 1/6 scale but their are similar items that cost 100 dollars.

With that said, I wish I got the Deluxe or the Standard. The Smiling head is a bit toooo expressive, and the Jukebox isn't something that is needed to enjoy the set. I did create a Happy days playlist ahead of time and enjoyed the Jukebox an entire night or 2, just playing 50's music. I guess if there is some sort of nostalgia, the Jukebox is worth it.

If they add a Ritchie, maybe the Jukebox would mean more also, just something to consider. Perhaps if they did a Ritchie, they would add a booth from Arnolds resturant.

Also I do NOT own any blutooth devices beyond my phone, so the Jukebox can be a useful device, but I am not a guy who plays music constantly outside of Christmas time.

The Fonz is gonna be about 5 minutes away from my house in March, but the event is already sold out. Would have been awesome to put that thing in front of him and get an autograph on the base or box. Unfortunately I just found out he was coming to town

Much better than my pics. Looks stunning.

Looks great and really looking forward to adding this one. Would have absolutely loved the motorcycle, but the jukebox is a huge plus. This thing is gonna pop on the shelf

I got a last minute chance to do a photo op with him at our local comic con a few years back. I was actually the last person in his line. Such a nice guy. You’d think he’d be ready to breeze through the last guy and be done but no, he took his time, asked me how I was doing and made me feel like the most important person in the room. Always love seeing a celebrity that doesn’t act stuck up or takes their fame for granted. Seemed like a genuinely good guy.

If you, or anyone, gets an opportunity to meet him, I would recommend it.

Was actually looking up his wiki page after getting interested in watching an episode or two of Happy Days (don't think it is showing anywhere on UK TV, unfortunately)....seems like a genuinely interesting and humble chap
