Import from Japan would be cheaper.
I’ve seen this go as low as 225 on eBay and it’s not very good it’s not worth a penny more.
350 is blasphemous!
I got mine got the clothing and the milk and cane were the only accessories fit enough for me
To be clear in a world of god awful Alex heads I’d still say this medicom head is among the worst of the worst but it has the best clothes we have seen,
I got the ***** statue off toy anxiety about a year ago from the red man set.
In person I can say this about the medicom head. It's painted OK, meaning it has a nice finish and texturing to the skin but the sculpt. Good God I can not even begin. It's so bad like 2007 medicom bad that it almost looks stylized. And if you look at it that way you might be satisfied. but the problem its not a cool style, or even a kitch style its just bad crappy toy sculpt style. Like the hair... it's truly laughable.
I put a repainted reman head on mine.
But I legit was impressed with the body and tailoring. it's pretty shocking that medicom has smoked any offering gf Alex including Yunsil
The boots pass, but I upgraded to a real leather set from Newline.
The cane is the most accurate we have seen but far from accurate. the real one was rigid and not a smooth staff. But the head is most accurate to anything including the Rainman one.
The hat is terrible soft, oversized, rubbery with no detail. pretty much garbage fodder.
The codpiece passes and would be better with a repaint but that's only because other than the Rainman a good one does not exist on the market.
the milk is good
finally the mask. it's pretty bad but it's better than the reman or figures club. Again Rainman's smokes them all.
If you buy this set it will be for the clothes and body and if you're after the best Alex you can get, it will be worth it for that.
And now Mezco is also releasing a 12 inch figure, but it's not a highly articulated body with cloth outfit. It appears to be a solid plastic rotocast figure like their Mega Thundercats, which I thought were very nicely done actually.
I think this blows the Medicom out of the water, and for a fraction of the price too. But I'm sure most collectors on this forum will think it's too "low end."
I'm still going for the Mafex...that's the scale and style I prefer, but I think this one looks awesome. If it were 8-10 inches I might have gone for it, but generally I don't like 1/6 stuff cause it just takes up too much space.

they are both bad. That thing looks like a little McFarlane blown up and why can't anyone get the damn cane right?It's not smooth its actually jagged.
I've owned this figure since it first came out and think it's by far the best Alex likeness. Although it's far from perfect and is a bit stylized, it's still the most accurate. The big problem I have with it is that the head is oversized. The very soft hair scult is also an issue, but the nearly 1/5 scale head looks a bit out of place next to most modern 1/6 figure heads. On it's own, it doesn't look disproportionate.From what I've seen the medicom head looks like the best produced to me, but then again I haven't seen it in person.
Clothes and accessories all look great, are the mask and bowler hat up to standard? Colouring of the mask seems spot on but again haven't seen it in person.
