They include everything that comes with the body that they use. Like in the past they always included the thigh extenders on the side but no stands because they didn't come with the body. If they are including a stand for TWD guys I'm assuming that stand comes with the Christian body that they are using for them.

Every ACI Christian body I have had has not come with a stand.

So this is gonna be on an ACI Christian Body or is that only for TWD? Hmmm that's very interesting, when did Denny switch over to ACI?

No this will be a TT KO

Interesting. Then IDK where they are coming from. I know the budget is pretty tight for them so IDK where they'd source a couple hundred stands. Maybe they plan on making them when the 3D modeler gets onboard

No, this was just a question. I was just asking if it's Christian body but apparently Wake says it's going to be a TTKO, is that a kaustic body? Sorry just need clarification.

Bateman will be TrueType knockoffs. TWD is aci Christian. Die hard and Lenny are still in question body wise. Denny is pursuing options for the mclane and shelbyvreleases.

We were saying that The Walking Dead dudes come on the ACI. They're the only figs that Denny used the ACI on so far. McClane is slated to get the ACI and Shelby is too although I think that there is probably a better body for him.

The TTKO = True Type Knock Offs


Edit: Wake's post wasn't there when I posted mine. I type too slow on my phone

Since this thread has has a little flutter of activity, let me inform you all that the suit's material will be changed to more accurate pinstripes as the 'pinstripes' on the proto suit wasnt really phenomenal as such...

Nice! Did you hear any word on the thickness of the new material? Hopefully Denny can find something a little thinner.

If Denny is contacting companies to source bodies, I think the best course of action is to contact Blitzway to see if they will offer their Pacino body. However, I get the feeling that that is a HUGE longshot.

Do you like the BW body for both guys or just Rick? I think I like the ACI for Daryl but I agree that ideally Rick should be skinnier. Also the BW body is REALLY short. I think even shorter than a HT slim.

Blitzway body is the best for both rick and daryl. The problem is the colour. It need to be painted cause it's really white and it also need some feet extender. But the shape is perfect for both.

Re: PREORDER NOW! FULL REVEAL! [iminime] Wall Street Killer - Patrick Bateman

I agree. The build is perfect for Rick but it would need ankle extenders. I honestly don't hate the ACI for Daryl but everyone sees it differently.

Blitzway really should consider offering Caucasian, Afro American & Asian variations of the body. I think it would be a pretty big hit and would be a big power move for them business-wise. It's a way to keep profit rolling and it's an item that they wouldn't need licencing for; no red tape or nonsense to slow them down.

Well, as soon as one of these guys realizes that Indy, McClane, Maximus, etc all have the same body type and makes THAT body it will pretty much be all over. But the rub is, if you make 'the perfect body', why just sell it for $40?? Why not just make a McClane for $180?? You'll sell 2,000 McClanes at $180, while you'll only sell 1,000 bodies for $40.

So this doesn't come with a stand then...haha?

That's very true, we need the Indy/McClane/Maximus body; the TRUE medium build that the ACI was supposed to be.

When it comes to the body vs. full figure issue that you raised I still think they'd do great with a body business and profit wise.

There's more $$$ that goes into a full fig for licensing costs, packaging, the sculpt, outfit, accessories, ect.

The body is plain Jane and doesn't carry any of those costs. They already have the body developed so it's just a matter of producing more. The only different cost this would incur would be sorting out the different skin tones; paint or different color plastics or what have you.

Blitzway is in the game for 2 years and only came out with 2 figures. That's pretty crappy output from a business perspective. I'm sure some of that has to do with the legal and licensing hurdles they have to jump.

They make a better quality body then most of the other ones on the market and a very specific physique that is doable for a bunch of different characters.

I think that they are really doing themselves a disservice for not having that as an ongoing offering while they are between full figs.

Whew, I just POed the regular edition. Thought it'd be long sold out by now. I guess it's not that limited after all.
