I'm only a couple of years into the hobby and have struggled some with the many choices available for base bodies, especially the Narrow Shoulder male bodies in particular. I've purchased several brands (WorldBox, JX and COO all with seamless necks, plus the Hot Toys and Sideshow figures that...

Spellcheck got me, but if we're grading spelling this morning its Nicolai, no h. Attached are two images Nicolai sent me on the first head he reworked for me. I've got a second with slightly less weathering and brown hair (as opposed to the Kirk blond painted black like this one).

If any of the reviewers get free samples to review, and I don’t know which ones do, they definitely have to edit themselves if they want the free stuff to keep coming. The talented folks TOTS has brought in to help with their figures is what has given me hope for TOTS, and I don’t think most of...

Good, fair review. TOTS would have a difficult time arguing differently. Totally agree on the phone, hands and glasses: all great. The coveralls are really nice, and worth the total price alone when you factor in the current cost of Yunsil custom coveralls at $450, but the TOTS are not perfect...

Fairly well known that it is the same, prior to recarving. Superimpose the two and you’ll see that every scratch and imperfection align perfectly.

Exactly. You can superimpose the two and every scratch and imperfection is perfect. Lots of fans have no real concept of how tight the budget was in 1978. Combine the budget with the fact that pumpkins weren’t in season when H1 filmed, meant they had to reuse pumpkins just like they reused the...

I refer to Sideshow’s as being the Scooby Do version, now a few other collectors do as well. It really does look like a cartoon version. The TOTS sculpt is dead on, just too bad on the size. There is no question that TOTS is working with very talented artists, they are just blowing it in production.

1/12 might be an exaggeration but it’s closer to the Mezco 1/12 than it is to an accurate 1/6. L to R:, Mezco, TOTS, Sideshow, accurately-sized Away Team Customs.

Compared with the cost of assembling many custom Figures, $90 is relatively inexpensive. For example the new Yunsil H2 coveralls are $450. BUT you should be prepared for what you’re getting. The coveralls are pretty nice and if you can dye them slightly darker and greener, they may be worth the...

Thanks, although I can only take credit for collecting the parts and taking the photo. Nic Berg painted and haired the head. Login • Instagram

I wish I could take credit, but NicolaI Berg painted and haired it. He crushes these. You can find him on Instagram at Login • Instagram

Repainted and haired TOTS head, TOTS coveralls, TOTS pumpkin, Sideshow tombstone and hands (Banner body). If TOTS learns how to calculate scale and gets some quality controls in place, they could crush it. The next few years should show if they are serious about 1/6 collecting.

I appreciate and give credit to Alexander Ray for posting this personal message, but before I give TOTS credit for doing the right thing I think the company should make a statement publicly on an official TOTS page as opposed to an individual employee making a comment on a YouTube review. It...

Exactly! Haven’t switched out the glasses yet, but have no issues at all with my Sideshow Bob sheet and head.

I’m fairly obsessive and have done a ridiculous amount of research on this subject over the years, so here is more details than anyone really wants to know. Personally reviewing Sears catalogs from the late 60s to early 80s provided me additional evidence that points to Tex Green: the collar...

Now I’m super curious and need to compare all three, because it looks like the Mezco 1/12 may be larger than the TOTS 1/6!!! I’ve also realized that the packaging cover promo art is extremely deceptive when you look at the scale of the pumpkin compared to the tombstone.

The navy coveralls that came with the TOTS figure wouldn’t really bleach or take dye, hopefully this is a different fabric.

You can have the full size Sideshow version, straight from an episode of Scooby Doo, or the mini TOTS. I’m glad I have my custom version.

So the hands are good, but a little dark and not better than Sideshow’s, and the glasses shape is accurate, but I find most of TOTS’ other choices with this set baffling. The coveralls color is too light to be Tex Green, even if the hue was correct; the pumpkin and phone look good (other than...
