Storm Collectibles - Mike Tyson

[Lawrence]

cheers for the experiment lawrence, feel as tho we all owe ya in way for that. salute!

Nah, that's one of the cool things about being part of this forum. Information sharing

Reason I say this is because Lawrence bought his spare body separately, so we wont know if anything else has been done to the body before he received it. Could it been mishandled before being sent or something else? Who knows....just saying thats all. Anythings possible.

as he said bod came from toy anxiety, they have been parting out figures for ages im sure they didnt handle/pose it at all picked it up from box and carefully packed it and shipped it to him.

Toy Anxiety does not pose their parts, this body came straight out of the box which means it was a pristine new body, never used

Toy Anxiety didn't mistreat the body before sending it. They are a good place to get spare parts from. Body was mint before I messed with it.

I would say that, like other rubber bodies, maybe their are warnings about this type of prolonged posing in the instruction manual or something. So it might not even be meant to be handled the way I did. If you're warned against it, I guess you can't really blame SC for it. If you're not warned against it (via included instruction sheet), then less knowledgeable collectors might be disappointed if holes appear in theirs.

Out of curiosity, I checked another one of my rubber bodies today (I think it's a Coo Model seamless body), that I'm using for a William Wallace figure, that has been posed with his arm bent at around 90 degrees, holding a sword, for maybe months now, & other than being wrinkled, it's fine. So it can be done. Although, that body smells a bit for whatever reason

Can't find the spare bodies on toy anxiety, a local buddy of mine got him from alter ego he looks great even museum pose

 

[Lawrence]

That's why I'm still excited for it. It's still a nice looking figure.

& Toy Anxiety sold out of the bodies. I think they only parted out 3 online. I plan on picking up a spare pair of boots, trunks, leather gloves, & maybe another angry sculpt, at a later date though.

does look incredible even in museum, have mine walking forward to ring like and looks cool, but since the shoulder joints stand out, it looks like its meant to be posed ya know?

look at how much more bad-ass it looks posed-

there is no instruction manual included at all, no where is it said do not leave it posed. one would assume you could via the promo pics. the only info on handling the bod was via budgetstarks video he made while at storm with them. in that they go into detail on how to avoid paint rub but never do they say dont leave it posed, or leave it posed for a long time at own risk. dont even hint at it.

Oh wow. That's a shame. Then yeah, if it's a widespread issue, it's not really nice for collectors. How are they supposed to know the limitations of the body? To be fair, it's been out for a bit, & I only know of mine, & those pics posted earlier, that has proven issues with the body. Would be cool if it wasn't a widespread issue, although, I'm not planning on trying it on another body.

 

[illproxy]

oh wow some bad-ass poses/pics in that link, argghhh makes me even more frustrated. f-it dunno if this is all talk now but i may just get rough with it and pose till it rips then throw track suit on for good.


if a comment via storm came in response to the lawrence experiment along the lines of- "wow shocked to see that we will replace body and cuz we dont think it will be a widespread prob if it does we will replace anyone elses that rips as well"

would be cool. but not holdin my breath.

 

[Lawrence]

That's gangsta

I don't want them to abandon using rubber bodies for future releases, but maybe peeps would feel safer with an updated version of their older body.

 

[illproxy]

i would no question! even buy one for my current Tyson, insta-sold if they offered it sans Che tatts and others he didnt have as champ.

yeah a lil too ganster when i think of how much i paid for this figure lol

 

[dapro]

I really hope its just isolated cases. We will see once more people get their figures. If not, I might have to use this pose.

 

[Chockles]

Lawrence, its good to know that the spare body you got from Toy Anxiety hasnt been tampered with etc.

The suggestion from you about a guide or even a how to take care diagram for future figures from Storm would be good idea. It certainly would help newcomers and even current users on how to take care of things. What should and should not do. Similar to Hottoys.

Seamless bodies arent for everyone, and any information about it is better than none at all.

 

[Jaycepticon]

Anybody get theirs yet? I'm surprised there aren't more pics yet, but BBTS just shipped mine and I'm so excited right now. Can't wait to get this in-hand.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I don't know how much longer it'll still be available but Toy Anxiety has one complete Tyson set for $275. Pricier than retail but better than eBay.

The neutral sculpt is basically the same as the regular right (besides the hair)? I don't know why I'm liking the Olympic neutral sculpt quite a bit better. Maybe the pics are tricking me.

 

[Lawrence]

Seems to be one more at BBTS (I tried adding 2, but didn't happen) for $239.99US.

reg sculpt on the olympics ver look a lil diff? kinda does to me.

a member in a 1/6 Fb group said that after leaving his posed for 2 months since release with elbows bent has had no probs.

I think the mouth is also different. Olympic looks like the mouth has a mouth guard in it, or simply more tensed lips or something.

Silly pics made me re order the Olympic version again

a member in a 1/6 Fb group said that after leaving his posed for 2 months since release with elbows bent has had no probs.

What I've been doing was unbending it, checking, then reposing it with bent arms. Maybe I unbent & rebent it too much? Or maybe problems with the body is way more isolated. Which would be better news to hear for collectors.

Making his way to the ring!

I was considering buy one of these, but now will wait for more info on the rubber issue (or incident, if we are luck). I always read that Phicen bodies are quite durable, what is their method? Or are they not really that durable?
