4th Quarter 2023Absolutely stunning set - any details on release date etc? He’s looks creepy as hell - brilliant!
…If they could do the Wolfman tooAccording to their Facebook page, their working on a deal to make a 1/6 Frankenstein as well
Exciting times!
I'd love to see them do a Benicio del Toro version from the 2010 remake. It would need to have rooted hair though.…If they could do the Wolfman too
Totally agree! I became interested in 1/6 figures this year (have collected statues for a decade though) and I was so excited to pick up some figures from my favourite films, anime and videogames. After that, I quickly became bored of seeing the relentless Marvel and Star Wars releases that I have no interest in, so I thought my new hobby had prematurely come to an end. With Bela Lugosi on the way from Sideshow and the reveal of this figure, I'm so pleased to see that there are still some fun and refreshing franchises being tackled by other companies!What an incredible set. I don't know a great deal about the character but will definitely be getting this to go with Bela Dracula.
Kaustic Plastic and InArt are keeping the hobby exciting right now. How refreshing while HT continue their endless re-issues and show a complete lack of innovation.
It seems the only real exclusive tied to their webstore is the 1/1 letter so if you don't care for that, you can wait for other retailers.So Kaustik just takes the deposit now and the remainder before shipment? I kinda find myself wanting to wait for Sideshow.
The doorway is cool and all, but the part that really gets me is the extra travel time you get ordering direct from Kaustik. The way Bela's worked out is that the product was shipped from the factory in China to both the States and to Italy. Stateside gets theirs first and then Sideshow ships out. The Italy shipment (understandably) takes longer to arrive and then they're invoiced and shipped out to the consumer. For those of us in the States, the time difference is just crazy.
Frankly, I don't like the idea of my really expensive figure bouncing around for an extra month at the worst possible time of year (weather-wise). It's not the time that eats away at me. It's the miles.
I suspect it will mirror the Lugosi release. The Regular and Deluxe figures will go up for PO at other retailers, while the 'Exclusive' version will be just that. Exclusive. So it comes down to a 1:1 scale letter and a doorway, really. (For those of you familiar with the Lugosi release, we're trading tombstones for doorways, here.)It seems the only real exclusive tied to their webstore is the 1/1 letter so if you don't care for that, you can wait for other retailers.
