Premier Toys Wasteland Gladiator 1/6th figure

If this turns out well it will be a great base for a custom Max, and about damn time too. I'll be taking the risk on this one.

The elbow articulation in these pics are different, which body will we actually get?

Good point.

Half the pictures are single bend and the other half double bend.

An odd way to promote a new figure.

When I saw the thread title I was expecting it to be another Tom Hardy Max. Was pleasantly surprised to see it Mel. About time, I’m in.

Well, I know what I'm watching today. lol

Growing up I got the sense that there was something off-kilter about Australian films. There was an otherworldly bleakness, but then I was influenced mainly by Walkabout, The Cars That Ate Paris, Mad Max and Razorback.

Mad Max was particularly bleak and gritty.

Notice that Kaustic Plastik and Infinite Studio's creative/art director and master painter ordered one of these figures from a certain Hong Kong seller?

Just a fan, or researching the competition in preparation for another entry in their own 'Action Figure Deluxe' range?

Up for preorder at TNSfigures now

Not bad at all. The HS could do with more work, but i'll take it. The dog is a nice addition.

 

[Jroug]

FINALLY!! This is a grail figure for me. And yes please to Wez and Warrior Woman. Hell, I'd even buy a Copter Pilot!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Since this is figure PT-0001, I'd say its their first...

But I'm so excited to see this. Finally a complete Mad Max! I have been collecting parts for a Road Warrior for 20 years and have just about everything except a head sculpt that I like.

As I posted in the other thread, I have a good feeling that 3rd partiers might finally get around to that John McClane figure we've been waiting for -- another one I've got all the parts for and just never have put together.

Finally!! At the very least, this will be a great starting point for a Road Warrior figure. Not liking the head sculpt but it hopefully will be tweaked and/or we get a custom one becoming available. So excited for this release!

If this turns out well it will be a great base for a custom Max, and about damn time too. I'll be taking the risk on this one.

Agree 100%.

Good to se this finally getting made. Sculpt is not so great though. Soft goods look great.

Incoming figure that's gonna flake from head to toe. Great looking figure but yeah this is a risky one to take.

You may be right. 3rd party companies don't feel the need for responsibility obviously.

I have pleather that's years old and still as good as new.

Keep it out of sunlight, don't get it wet, and don't feed it after midnight.

You can probably ignore the last one, but it's all about ultraviolet light, heat and humidity.

Shame about the sculpt being so off. The clothing and accessories look really nice though.

 

[Marine Boy]

Got my order in at KGHobby. A scratchbuilt V8 Inteceptor is now looking likely. As i don't have to worry about any working gadgets or even a good paint finish, it should be a quick build.

I'm hesitant to pre-order something from an unknown company, because who knows what the final product will look like vs. the prototype (remember Molecule8)? But if it comes close, this will be fantastic and something I would definitely be interested in for the outfit and dog alone.

Headsculpt is pretty bad, but I'm sure a custom could be sourced.

I've been collecting Mel Max heads for 20 years and much like Harrison Ford's Indy, no one has really nailed it yet, just some close calls.

 

[karamazov80]

I agree, but I've seen better than this. The ones from Scott Petterson and Iminime, for example. But maybe this release will persuade someone else to give it a shot?

I do hope it inspires a new round of sculpts. At least one. I'd like to see Inigo try Max.

 

[BACON!]

I would buy a Mad Max figure for my collection, just not this one. HS is terrible and I am also worried about how these accessories will age.

Hopefully this will be the first of many new Max figures to come, all with plusses and minuses. Will still most likely end up cobbling things together (like my Tom Hardy Max, which looks great now)
