SUPERMADTOYS 1/6 Bionic Man

[GlobalObserver]

Those high water pants still bother me.

I realize there is a photo of Steve jogging that shows the pants like that, but pants usually ride up when you lift your leg like that.

I don't think the pants would look like that if he was standing still.

Actually they do. If memory serves well, they appear twice in the series. In the pilot and with the Jaime episode. And in the Jaime ep, you see them much better and they indeed ride that high. There's also a similarly tailored blus track suit in some ep. These got replaced in season 4 or 5 (can't remember exactly) by a light blue satin tracksuit bell bottom legs.

EDIT: found the actual vid

Thanks, 16k!

Trousers are spot on.
Got my dollar dude today. Currently having a beer with him (so to speak). When I get home, looking forward to putting on an episode and opening this up.
I remember getting the Kenner figure as a birthday present as a kid. Loved it but for one thing: he was out of scale with Action Man (GI Joe if you’re in the US).
This time around he’s in scale with everyone else.
Also changed my mind on the Apollo spacesuit. I built a body up with denims and a shirt. Sort of kit he’d wear, kinda!!!

This is going to fun.

A big thanks to 16k for bringing this guy to my attention.

Quick pics after getting home;

Watching that footage is the first time I noticed Steves bracelet, which also reminded me I hadn’t seen it on the figure. Turns out it’s in the ziplock bag with the “batteries“.
So basically the figure we got can replicate this exact scene, nice! Jamie next?

If Jaime Sommers is produced, would you guys prefer rooted hair or sculpted?

 

[DVD1]

Sculpted hair for me.
In mean time, thoughts on Steve.
First impressions were he looked amazing. No doubt that this is a Steve Austin figure.
The body is solid, great joints, poses hold well - so very happy with body used.
Costume is spot on.
I like the magnets to connect the packs to the suit. Easily set up, and seems to stay in place (at least they have up to now!!)

It’s a particularly striking figure visually, with the red suit, and with the stand provided enabled me to place him in a running pose (slow motion of course).

Overall very happy with this figure.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Really looking forward to getting mine!

kghobby cancelled my preorder

What? Why? I thought it was in stock. Did it sell out?

 

[warlock664]

I preordered last September. Still haven't been invoiced for the balance. Sent a message thru the site, no response yet.

I just went in last Friday and paid the balance on mine without waiting for a final invoice. Got my tracking number this morning.

I too pre-ordered last sept...i contacted them in which they replied that only a small part of the stock has arrived and would fulfill those who pre-ordered first.

All remaining pre-orders will be invoiced later in the month.

I tried to do that, but since the item wasn't showing as "in stock" it wouldn't allow me to proceed.

I preordered when they reopened the preorders just a few weeks ago and paid it off when they had an option to pay the remaining balance if you put down a deposit. My order has already left Hong Kong. I've never had a problem getting things from KG but they definitely need to revamp their preorder process. I preordered the Worldbox Steel Wolf set from them, paid in full and then decided to cancel when I saw how off the sculpt was. They refunded me and when the figure was released they sent the full set. I contacted them and they told me to keep it since return shipping from the US was too much.

It was listed as being in stock when I paid the balance. Maybe I snagged a preorder that someone changed their mind on? I was fully expecting to wait until later in September to get the figure since I assumed they were fulfilling on a first come first serve basis.

Hey wait a minute...that ain't right!...why i oughta....

Just joking...fair play to ya

 

[GlobalObserver]

I don't understand why people who didn't preorder until a few weeks ago are receiving shipping notices while some of us who preordered last September 2017 are being told our orders won't ship until later this month.

 

[Marine Boy]

Got mine this week. I don't suppose anyone has a picture of him lying in the old bionic transport repair station?

 

[Scifi67]

Need more in hand pictures please, mine is two weeks-ish out. Really looking forward to this one!
