Who are you?

And what were you before?


I win the internets today.

That kid reminds me of a young Tunnel Rat.

I did the same thing with the hand.

And put me down for a pistol!

The more I look at the pics, the more it makes sense to ditch the giant "a car ran over it" robot hand.

I care.

But only because you can read minds.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha "car ran over it" robot hand.......

I think you guys are on to something. I think using a normal hand in lieu of the robot hand (which sadly probably could have saved the figure 20 bucks a piece in R&D) is the way to go. Now to figure out if clipping the pegs off the rocket gun is a good idea...

Now that you mention it I'm a little concerned these guys are going for 174$ in comparison to DAM, SS modern who come with more for less. I guess a lot of their items are just mass produced and shared among other kits.

Playhouse, art figures, DAM and SS stuff are unlicensed. It's mostly just generic crap that they pull from referenced military photos. Or from a military movie, or anything military for that matter. If it came from a movie, then it's not licensed. At all.

If they were to do licensed subject matter then I think it'll be at the same price. If anything it would be maybe 20 cheaper, depending upon what they're making, and also I'm being way optimistic on that.

Bottom line, same price but with a couple levels up in quality above sideshow. Not to say sideshow quality isn't comparable with those other companies (DAM, SS, PH, AF) but their straight to production pieces can have their faults from time; which a lot of people in this forum have been vocal about.

I don't think they'd be any cheaper if they were made by Soldier Story or Dam with proper licensing. Some of Dam's figures are almost there at Sideshow prices with the Dam Ghost Series figure priced at $145.
Something else that should be considered is that Sideshow's Joes not only have proper licensing from Hasbro, but they also have proper licensing from Magpul and TAD Gear which is something those other companies should obtain but get around it being companies located in Asia.

Yeah, totally forgot about that.

Not sure they paid for licensing from HK or Glock though.

I thought it said Tokyo Marui or something. Like they lifted the sculpt from an Airsoft maker.

Glock.

Glock.

TM doesn't recognize licensing, so that would be EXTREMELY stupid on their part. But Glock is notorious for chasing down unlicensed product, as is HK. Trademark laws don't really apply in Asia, which is why most other 1/6 companies get away with it, but here in the states they do.

Maybe it's just American companies.

You got a point. Maybe HK likes it how them toy companies use their guns in their sets and what not.
