Damn what a difference. I would like to see the original TBS Krennic repainted to see the sculpt underneath. Anyone remember the melting face of Poe Dameron?? Also what Hell Boy is that in the back??
@gnarkillguch2 күн бұрын
@@jonmorgan7621 There were actually quite a few customizers out there back in the day that did full repaints of the old TBS figures headsculpts. The most surprising thing to me at the time, was the fact that the actual sculpts themselves were shockingly good once you touched them up. It was the terrible and cheap paint apps Hasbro used that made them look so bad. Hellboy is the Mezco 2019ish movie version btw.

I’m seeing a lot of comments on here comparing these figures to legends. I think there is a big misunderstanding here. There is a difference between collectibles and figures made for kids, yes we as adults are buying marvel legends but the tolerances are made for children. You can take a Spider-Man figure and throw it down the stairs and it would be ok, I would never think a neca figure for example would survive the same treatment. These are collectibles guys not toys.
@gnarkillguch4 күн бұрын
@@gyalis Uh, yea. That's exactly the reason why people are much more critical about higher end collectible stuff like the LooseCollector figures. You know what you're in for when you drop $25 on a Legends, and those expectations can be tempered. When you're dropping $75-100 on a figure, there's much higher expectations for quality I.E. NOT having them literally fall apart in your hands just trying to bend a leg or arm etc.

@@gnarkillguch as I said, a collectible is not the same as a toy with tolerances for children. This exactly why neca figures say not a toy on them for years

@@gyalis And as I said, that's why people are much more critical about expensive collectibles vs Legends. Again, I understand that Legends, McFarlane, whatever, are made and built for the mass market. But that fact doesn't also free a company from criticism if their product is SO fragile, that even just gently articulating the ACTION FIGURE (not statue) you bought from them results in it breaking into pieces. That's like saying that because Power Wheels are made for children, I shouldn't be upset if the brand new real car I just bought broke down right after pulling out of the dealership lot, because it says "not a toy" on it.

I have Red Sonja and Purgatory, and I haven’t had any breakage, or QC issues so far. However, I am disappointed with the quality, especially the paint app, and articulation. The two LC figures individual cost as much as a Mafex, and yes Mafex has their issues too, but Mafex’s articulation and paint app is far superior than LC. I decided to get La Muerta because of a glowing review of her, so maybe the new wave is better? However I have a feeling La Muerta is the exception as a Chaotica review the paint app looks lacking. These females must have some type of ab crunch as well as the upper ball joint at their price.

I recently picked up Red Sonja for a steal at only $50aud and the figure surprised me how good a quality it was. Only issue was that one ankle joint was locked. Totally sucks that you've supported the line with all your purchases and they've failed on multiple occasions. I really want the Vampirella, Lady Death and Taarna... and maybe Hellwitch too now that u mentioned she comes with t*ts 😂 but they are so damn expensive, especially down here in Australia they're very hard to get.

I got the Taarna fig this year from BBTS. Overpriced but it was the best price at the time lol. I must have an updated one cause it looks much closer to the expectation pic. Has good paint shading and the face is great. I also got the Hellwitch fig but I have not taken it out of the box yet. I’m waiting for a better display set up. I was planning on getting the Chaotica fig but the only place I see it currently is executive replicas. I got the Hellwitch from Coffin directly so I was curious if Coffin would have Chaotica as well 🤔 but it’s low on my priority list.

I was also disappointed by the Red Sonja when I realized the paint was different, but at the same time, it's a Red Sonja figure that doesn't look like a doll with Barbie hair, and adding in a Maxbird cape, it's still one of if not the one favorite figure of my collection. I didn't notice as big a difference if any in their Shi figure compared to what I got, so maybe things are improving with them.

Great comparison review, the MAFEX is the better figure but the chrome armor pieces aren't as shiny as they should be, the cape doesn't sit around the neck and shoulders as cleanly as they appear in the promo pics and the figure's proportions, while superior to those of the SHF, may be a bit on the lean side. Other than those issues, it's the definitive Mando in 1/12.
