I got mine from BBTS when it was in stock. No interest in the witch, still contemplating the werewolf though. Anyone hear any news about whatever is coming after the witch?

 

[desertdiver]

I just got mine from hobby galaxy, and he's pretty great! Except...
the hands are stained blue from his coat
the wrist joints and neck are a darker shade than his hands and head
(most importantly) his left wing won't go into the socket on his back! I think it got miscast, can anyone post a pic of their wing connections to compare with? mine is mushy, instead of sharp like the trapezoid on the right wing

This was the naked lady version? They said the naked lady version is from a different supplier.

The international version (i.e. The larger version) doesn't have the victim.

The international version (i.e. The larger version) doesn't have the victim.

I did get the victim version, because it is what I could find; is it larger somehow?

here are the connection points; one has a casting bubble and looks like it was smooshed; it is too big to fit into the socket. is this something to modify, or to exchange it over? (this is my first 1/6 figure)

Make sure you notify hobby galaxy of the issue right way whatever you decide to do. They have something like a 5 or 7 day policy, so it's not very long. I'd return it but that's coz I'm not a handy guy with such things. Hopefully someone with more experience tell you how to fix it.

 

[ali032373]

I think that would be a return for me. Im guessing there was some engineering that went into connecting the wings- weight, the angle. If you damage the connection point then HG probably will not accept the return.

 

[ali032373]

Anyone get the non dead lady version?

Im told only the dead lady version has been released. Which given the time lapsed seems odd.

 

[Buttmunch]

Not true at all.

 

[ali032373]

So anyone else still waiting for hobby galaxy? I was told by HG that they had not reveived their shipment of the non naked lady version of this. I understand that the same has been released and distributed by other retailers.

Before i ask for my deposit back, can anyone shed any further light on this? Other stores having mailed this out already?

Any information is appreciated.

 

[Buttmunch]

As far as I know, all retailers should have gotten their stock several months ago. I got my figure in February so I think he started shipping in January. Not sure why any retailers wouldn't have gotten their stock by now.

Any news on this line?

 

[Getter Dragon]

Looks like Frankenstein is getting a rerelease. Check out the new thread I created for it.

Any news on this line?

Got the Werewolf the other day after loving the vampire. Just wanted to again restate how awesome this Vampire figure is. The werewolf is cool and well done but i really feel this one is the figure to have. Not sure if I will purchase Frankenstein or the witch (hoping for a mummy though) but if you have to buy one figure from this line, go with the Vampire-D.

Where can you get him at a decent price?
