So, Casting Cave is selling fully-painted Han Solo heads, shrunk down from what I think is a third-party sculpt. It's admittedly a bit more of a ROTJ Han than an ANH Han, but I'm pretty happy with it. It looks good from any angle.
I did try that and it didn't work - I can ask NECA for a replacement head, they're great about that. The debate I'm having is whether to get a replacement head and glue the tube, or just swap it for a new one.
I got mine too...did yours reek of enamel smell? Mine did, and some of the black paint seems to be rubbing off, like it didn't cure.
Also, the tube on the back of the left biceps popped out with just a little arm movement, and the helmet was slightly squashed at the top by contact with the top...
I just love the alternate robed head that comes with BS Maul. It's my favorite look for him. While I own and quite like some of the SHF SW figures, especially Han, I just can't get into their Maul.
I've decided he's actually spawned from one of the gorilla soldiers in Planet of the Apes :)
And personally, I'd like a black Queen a la the Genocide Warrior or the TRU Alien vs Predator 2-pack. I don't like the blue or the brown for the xenomorphs (although it works fine for the Gorilla, since...
It would be great if they could try some Kenner stuff for the Terminator line - I'd love a Power Arm Terminator, and between the Terminator and Dutch they have all the parts they need for it aside from two new interchangeable arms. But apparently the license owner isn't interested.
The Gorilla Alien is my most-wanted Kenner figure from either line (very closely followed by the brown and yellow Predator from the Aliens vs Predator two-pack, though I really hope we get a re-release of that with the ultimate Jungle Pred body).
That said, I really wish they'd worked out some...
Over on the 2000AD forums, they said that the "poncho" - actually a radiation cloak, or "rad cloak" - is what Dredd wears when he goes into the Cursed Earth nowadays in the comics, not in that first storyline. So I guess you need to think of it as "Cursed Earth Judge Dredd" meaning "Dredd as he...
They've mentioned a Keaton Batman, although evidently it's on the backburner right now. They've dropped other obscure hints. At one point someone asked them the likelihood of a DKR Robin, and the answer was that it was "as likely as Aquaman," but that could be a joke implying that they have a...
This will not be the only way to get the Mutant Leader. The website text states:
That "first look" obviously means we will be getting more variants of the character.
Given the fact we've had five variants of Batman already, I really doubt the only way to get the Mutant Leader will be through SDCC. It might just mean you can get him early if you pick him up at SDCC, or it might be a "muddy" variant, or a variant in prison clothes or with an alternate head...
Well, it's unclear whether it's an SDCC variant. I'd be a little surprised if the Mutant will only be available at SDCC - seems like a lot of money on mold-making for a small run. Either there will be plenty for pre-order on Mezco's website or there will be many variants. We've already had five...
