It appears many of you guys aren't fans of the Stones, and I think you underestimate their appeal to some of us who scratch our heads at all the Kiss stuff out there. That's fine, but guys, don't mix it up with the execution of the figures.

I love the Stones. Their catalog is totally superseded by their overplayed radio greatest hits and their constant touring. And I would LOVE some great Stones 1/6 figs, but not from Medicom. Why? Because...

These are Medicom figures. They will be on RAH bodies, which means they'll be fragile, short (fine in the case of these guys), have ugly neck cuts and wrist posts, and use unpainted flesh-colored vinyl. A lot of us would much rather have seen the Sideshow approach. (And I agree with Abstract, because 1969 would have left the door open to a Brian Jones figure.)

Exactly!

But these face sculpts are very good -- they're supposed to be the Exile tour of 1972, when the guys were 35 years younger. I think Jagger will look exactly like Jagger -- with his mouth open, singing -- as soon as his eyes are repainted the right color, pale blue:

I think the sculpts are just okay (very Medi, so I can't wait to see the repaints), but the outfit on Jagger is an odd choice. Are you sure he wore that for the Exile Tour? I thought that outfit was later in the 70's.

Am I the only one totally put off by the typical Medicom hairdo? :monkey3

This was the alternate jumpsuit -- he also wore a white version that was pictured on the cover of LIFE magazine in 1972. I could only find this badly-cropped version on the web.
