SUPERMADTOYS 1/6 Bionic Man

[Godfather1408]

I couldn't help but add some humour to the KG hobby situation.

I order 1 figure from them and they billed me £1,000 for 1 figure then cancelled then sent me another 1 for 50 more

Think KG only sent the full paid ones with some "20% deposits" ones trown in...the rest where sold "on the spot on the website to customer with money on hand"....that why people who did not preorder at first or not preorder at all where lucky to get them so fast. Pretty sure now that this was over-sold...and probably the rumor that 50 to 100 figures where added to the original release number of 200. That is no way to conduct a bussiness and preorder with deposits "programs"....if you do not follow order of purchase from customers...this have been a "first come, first served...at KG discresion and view. There are three more figures I was planning to buy and pay in full at KG....no way will be doing a single preorder with these clowns...will take my bussiness/purchase someplace else....and avoid the trouble and agraviation.

No ETA, no proto yet or any thing, but according to their Facebook, JAIME IS IN THE WORK!

But what about poor Yodasan?

Already posted that my order was cancelled.

That really sucks. I would be crushed if they cancelled my order. I've been waiting for a figure like this ever since I discovered high end 1/6 figures in 2008!

That looks amazing! Some 3rd party really needs to make a 70s safari type outfit for Steve!

Awesome!! I'll plan on getting that as well once out. I was hoping they would.

My Steve arrived today as well. This is really a nicely done figure, and I love the bonus head. It gives you enough of an option to make a second figure if needed.

Speaking of which, anyone have a recommendation for a body for the extra head? Something similar to the one he comes with?

 

[JacktheRipper]

It looks like that standard muscular body that's been around for awhile. Originally, I think it was the Wolverine body.

Thanks, guys! I was looking through ebay earlier and kept skipping that one because from the thumbnail it looked like the shoulders were seamless and I didn't think it was the right body!

I was looking at these:

But I suppose those look a bit too slender, don't they?

Edit:
And for sneakers, I found these:

I might go for the Nikes since they are a bit simpler than the New Balance.

 

[Scifi67]

Base off the promo pictures from SUPERMADTOYS the link I listed is the best match, a HT Wolverine would have the hair colored in but those are $$$$. I used several of the ones I linked to and they are a solid choice.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Not the HT Wolverine body, but the knock-off. If I wasn't clear.

 

[Scifi67]

You were clear, I was just pointing out the Wolverine body would be the more detailed paint app with the needed chest hair. They loved to show off that hairy Lee Majors chest

Not sure about either of those sneakers. What are you looking to do with the other head?

 

[**16k**]

apparently, KGHobby has received the second batch. I've just received an email saying my other two Steves are about to ship.

EDIT: Yodasan, they are available for sale again, you should jump quickly to snag one!

 

[dragonsleeper]

yo got the email too, paid and waiting

Fantastic

Concerning Jaime, has anyone ever produced a 1:6 female head with sculpted hair that looks good?

IMHO, never.

However, all the females produced by Supermadtoys have had rooted hair, so I think, if it ever gets done, they'll go that route again.
