So these were available to pre-order in June last year, and appears that they still ain't been shipped nearly a year later? That seems a bit concerning. Have they actually ever released any figures yet? I really want a figure of Mil Muertes, but an Instagram tease back in late June/early July last year and literally nothing since then could be an indication of things. I'm not paying in advance for any figure that I may have to wait an entire year for. Just a bad first impression. So they probably should wait until people have their first set of figures in hand before they announce anything.

The Larry Z they showed recently looked very prototype/test shot stage. |

The Larry Z they showed recently looked very prototype/test shot stage. let's be honest, there isn't going to be much difference between what has been shown to date and the finished article, every time they go back to amend the design, they're burning money
at this point in the lifecycle, if you've seen a pic of a prototype, then you've probably seen the final figure

I can't see many people wanting the French Angel so probably a good thing to ship what he can now

Was very tempted by black Larry Z, so glad I didn't bother now, though, as it's literally been a decade since those pre-orders went up. Literally.

Not sure how to post pics but the Larry legend looks like a corpse the way he is painted, his lips are the same color as his skin and is a very odd skin color at that, the molded chest hair just looks like he was scratched up by a cat. Jonah looks pretty good except for the very flat texture in his hair and the hair ends the painted on his back look so odd. Roadblock once again a little hair texture could have really helped and the they list him as 6'10 on the box but he is the same height as 5'10 Larry. I really thought they might give him a little extra height.

I really wish I could show everyone just how bad this Larry is, I ordered both the red and black versions and they are terrible.

Did anyone really expect these to be anything more? An upstart company with nothing to base on and you just forked over hard earned money. So far the only ones I’ve invested in is rubber guys and power town and even with some flaws they have exceeded expectations in the long run. These little guys need to cut there losses before its to late. I imagine homes and families are on the line if these don’t succeed. Not worth the risk in my opinion

Yeah, the torso is painted, the head is oddly painted, the arms feel like a completely different plastic than the rest of the figure. I'm going to try to upload pics after work tonight. He looks nothing like the promo pics rush put out |

He looks nothing like the promo pics rush put out If you have any trouble with uploading pics, you can just attach them to an e-mail and send them to me. I’ll upload them for you. My figure-related e-mail is jakksbca@gmail.com. Let me know if I can help in any way. |
