SSC Flint

[FLOSI]

Don't think it looks like Randy.

Meh about the face but I think it will grow on me.

Not bothered by the sculpted beret.

Will make final judgment on order date with more pics.

Flosi, what is wrong with the Toht figure, sorry I don't follow Indy when it goes 1/6?

Everything but the hands and head were a very pale tone of flesh color, meanwhile the head and hands looked closer to that of Hulk Hogan then the body that they came on... It was a minor thing, really. But at the same time it was so lame brained that it made no sense. Just swapped out the neck and wrists with some spare ones that were darker.

The original Flint didn't look like he came with all that much gear ( but neither did Duke), wonder how they will load him out to compensate for their price points.

Well, Duke came with a decent amount of gear (Gun, Helmet, Pack, Binocs) compared to Flint (Gun, Pack).

Here's hoping SS goes to down with gear, so long as it makes sense.

Yeah, It will get old if we keep paying an extra 20-30 bucks for a bunch of gear we won't use for display... Like for Duke, do you plan on displaying him all geared up or the way he appeared in the toons/comics(minimal gear)?

No. I didn't bearbones Snake Eyes either. I actually prefer the look as it's more militaristic vs. the cartoony kid-naive aspect. Again, though, so long as it doesn't distract from the original look of the character.

Perhaps I'm wrong to assume that everyone wants the toon/comic version then... Seems like a trend here on the board... My Trooper and Officer for example are just the way they were when I first took them out of the box while others have moded their Officers to look more like the original figure... To each their own..... With Duke I can see using the pack but not the helmet in my display, so with that in mind maybe more is better.... It's nice to have options, afterall.

I don't mind the left over parts, I can always use them for something.

I see your point for sure, my concern is bang for the buck within the set as a whole.

If a brand sees they can charge as much and progressively give less, they will do so.

The Lost Predator was an example of that. The figure was never accurate to the screen to start. Removing core classic elements made Lostie less desirable to purchase whole and made his parts out potential less viable.

Value to me comes with whats in the box relative to the price point, not the price point itself abstractly in a vacuum.

I think it's safe to say that thus far we've gotten quite a bit with each and every figure. I think this really holds true with the Trooper/Officer/Sniper.... Snake Eyes came loaded and Duke looks pretty packed with gear too. So far so good .

I actually left Snake Eyes' fantasy sword in the box. Was never a big fan of it and the Ninjato he has is way cooler anyway, more realistic and comes with the sheath. As for Duke's helmet, while I won't be displaying him wearing it, but it will still be used, tucked neatly under his left arm.

Awesome, bought!

I see that in every thread from you, Illy!

Yeah, I don't really like the big sword either...

Thanks for posting here, hunni! I love your signature...

That damn figure pisses me off more and more as time goes by...

That's why I boxed up my Toht right after I opened it and will sell it off (whenever I finally get around to posting my for sale stuff).

That's how I was planning on posing my Duke too. It captures the classic Duke pose. No helmet head for me either.

No prob, I came this side to see if people were talking about a possible Baroness or Scarlett

I was Baroness for Halloween once..

Pics.

If I recall correctly, you two were menstruating so bad you needed trauma pads over Firefly.

Or Crimson Cobra Commanders, perhaps?

Careful. Making that analogy will get you spanked by Khev. He's afraid of feminine products.

CCC FTW, god he rocks

Just recalling that someone had been screaming for the Midol something fierce back before SDCC.
