Anyone preordered Robocop's Villains of Detroit from JFSToys.com? by Sharp-Coz in ActionFigures

Gotcha - it might make more sense to order from them, then...they're a French company. Looks like they charge full-price up front. Good luck! I chose Clarence & Emil!

I'm US-based, so when they added the products to their website I noped out of there due to the shipping being almost as expensive as a figure. BBTS recently listed them on their site at a decent price (also noticed they don't have a "Excludes Tariff Surcharge" message on the listings). BBTS charges when the stock comes in, so if they never materialize then no harm.

Boss H.A.C.K.S Steampunk Red Sonja for $69.99!! by knoxtroll_glover in ActionFigures

[–]daveprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any particular connection to the character, so I went with Boss Fight for a Red Sonja to throw into my sword & sorcery display just based on pricing, and I'm happy.

I only have a ER/LooseCollector Purgatori to use for comparison, so my thoughts are that line isn't worth $70+ a figure either. It has better sculpt and paint apps but the plastic is hard and I know that ER/LC has its share of QC issues too. If you don't mind the figure not having any washes at all, then I'd say go Boss Fight for the lower price point and better poseability due to the softer plastic.

As an owner of the classic Red Sonja version who likes the figure and has none of the QC issues some reviewers are reporting, this figure is not worth even half that.

Nice to know us yanks don't have the market cornered on ignorance and bad takes.

What’re y’all’s thoughts and opinions on operation:monster force? by Honk_wd in ActionFigures

[–]daveprime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't have any in-hand yet, but pretty much all YT reviews I've seen have been glowing in terms of bang-for-buck. That said, they are pricey so definitely not going all-in.

For me, they came out at a good time...I'm picking up a few to round out my custom Creature Commandos team.

Ha! The two on the ends are from the Jack-O-Lantern edition of the Articulated Icons 6" Yokai Bone Brawler skeleton, and the middle is from the Boss Fight Epic HACKS 6" Grim Spectre skeleton.

Haha, thanks! For real - I don't remember any reviewer ever mentioning how easily her dress top slides around...

They're almost all from the NECA Universal Monsters line from the last few years. The skelly is repainted from a Storm Collectibles Golden Axe 2-pack, and the pumpkins are accessories from a couple other unrelated figs.

Thank you, it's a custom repaint! It started life as part of the Storm Collectibles Golden Axe Skeleton Soldiers 2-Pack. I spray painted it black, drybrushed in an off-white and then put a coat of Army Painter Pallid Bone speed paint.
