I think SS should just release the females on the old female buck and keep the costs down. As long as they have great sculpts we can easily swap them to Triad or TTL bodies.

Totally disagree. It gives buyers a poor taste if you half-ass a product with deliberate expectations that the buyer should finish it. The female Buck needed to be retired at LEAST five years ago if not more. It looks lousy in tight outfits and even worse in revealing ones. This redesign is long overdue.

Second, I haven't found the SS female heads easily swappable. Lara had a completely different setup than the Cy Girl setup, which is similar to TTL and Triad. The ball-topped Triad one I know is smaller than the standard Cy Girl, which is much smaller than the SS one.

Finally, the female SS buck is much skinnier than most other female bodies on the market. Those with tight outfits (Scarlett, Baronness) may not fit on any other body depending on how they're tailored and how stretchy they are. Lara's shirt was a major pain to move to another body, and I know a few people popped stitches and ruined them trying.
 
Which means it will suck because it's on the Pro so buy the new Hot Toys female truetypes now while you can.

Nothing to disagree about my friend. Most of us here already know that SS is working on the new female body and the current Buck definitely should have been retired years ago. You completely missed my point that the new female body will cost us more $$$. The females will probably cost the same as the original male figures ($120), whereas SS current release of female figures on the old Buck are still around $50-60. Plus, a Dremel will do wonders on customizing neck joints to fit properly. Given SS record with introducing new bodies, I really have a bad feeling about the new female body.
 
Flint better come with an exclusive, if I have to get up at 2am for nothing I'm gonna be pissed especially with work in the morning.:mad:

Any word on an ex yet?
 
All the "name" characters have had a exclusive, I don't see Flint as being any different.

No one has a hint to what it is yet. Original style shotgun maybe.
 
Wait, I'm 2 hours behind on sideshows website. They are using PDT. So what time and day will it be using SS time and date in PDT? Sorry, I'm just confused.:eek:

Thursday, 6:00 PM PDT is when Sideshow releases the newsletter by email. But if you start watching their website a while before that, it often hits the website earlier than that.

Edit - Oops...that'll teach me to drag my feet when posting a reply.

Thanks, hopefully it doesn't go up for PO on my way home from work. I was lucky to get SE, SS, FF and Duke all EX. But Flint PO is weird this time around.

Actually...my own opinion is that Flint will not have an exclusive. There has been zero mention of an exclusive so far. And I know that sometimes there is an exclusive in the figures PO'd on the newsletter. But I seem to remember that the preview shows there to be an exclusive if there is one.
 
not true. they don't always mention the exclusive. the buffy statue didn't mention anything about an exclusive and there was one. i can see Flint having one cuz all the other main characters had one.
