I'm not a fan of that sculpted flack vest Hasbro seems to have a hardon for. Or those unrealistic "future" boots they seem to be popping on everybody.
Of course, you are entitled to your opinion, but if you bought Sideshow Snake Eyes and actually saw him in-hand, you might change your mind. He is magnificent. Could Hot Toys do better? Probably, but they aren't doing them, and given the current price for 1/6 figures, $100-120 for Snakes is a better than average value. Hot Toys figures are now getting upwards of $200+
SE SS is badass Getting CC this week, on Weds.
right on!
hasbro's flint was ok. as was their destro (decent head sculpt for a toy), and shockblast/shockwave. but i also hate the molded vests.
Yeah Flint was the only I bought from the stores, I was goin to get the SE and SS from Hasbro but I stopped myself. I had self control of those figs for some reason.
Bazooka was another close one...
yah, i actually had quite a few of them but recently sold them all. beachhead was actually pretty cool. he just needed a boot swap. hasbro is just weird sometimes. they do a semi-realistic version of a character, give them in-scale weapons and gear but then throw these crazy-ass moon boots on them. with just a few tweaks, several of those figures would have been really cool for $15 or w/e they were originally. it's like someone at qc sees a figure and says, wait, he's not ready, we need to put these pontoon sized boots on him. same goes for their 3 3/4 stuff in terms of those launchers (roc-wise). course, it goes without saying, i mean in terms of being a collector and what looks good. my kids were fine with them and in terms of playability they were great.
i sold a lot of 10 or so (i think) of them on ebay a few months ago. i don't remember what the ending price was though...under a $100 bucks i'm pretty sure. i just remember they did better than i thought they would. i was afraid they'd end with like 1 bid for $20 or something.
Why the hostility? Can't I think that the SS figures aren't worth the money?
