I hope these turn out fantastic but there’s something off about the proportions of the face sculpts. Are the eyes too small?

The price point has me down. I thought for sure they would drop to $60

The Youtube live unboxing videos certainly makes it look like the came out better than I anticipated. Might pick up at least a Myers if it's around during a sale at some point.

Looking at the pod insta imo it’s the faces again which are off. Even with the hair snd bears from beck up imo you couldn’t tell it’s Myers. Super 7 are great at the turtles and other masked / cartoon / not real faces but they really struggle getting a good likeness for anyone. These are not really much better than the reactions which is saying something since they’re ultimates. The Alice in wonderland ultimates are a prefect example of how great they can be, best alice figures/dolls to date |

Agreed on the heads. They don’t look good. They have this weird cartoonish thing going on and almost look blurry. The Super7 Okada was like that as well. At least there is some actual progress. Hopefully no other wrestlers or companies do business with super7 based on the way they jerk clients and customers around as well as the delivery of their final product.

I still don't see what you all are talking about on the NJPW figs, they're incredible

I still don't see what you all are talking about on the NJPW figs, they're incredible Okada’s head literally looks like a cartoon whereas the others appear to resemble humans. It sticks out so much:  I own all the other figures minus Bushi and like them very much. Ospreay has a little bit of that cartoon look as well but nowhere near as bad as Okada. |

The belt looks very cartoony too, the paints very yellow and flat finish not metallic v gold (which I assume it’s supposed to be) |

The belts were/are a disappointment. I have a custom belt on mine now that is much closer to the actual IWGP V4. However, when it first came out I used the rare diecast belt to serve as a better display piece. You can see the belts side by side here in the last few pictures: http://instagram.com/p/CN-DOkYM_rg |

I found the Karl Anderson at a local chain yesterday on clearance for $11.99
Wasn't in the market for it, but at that price, I'll buy Machine Gun and take a look.

Sounds like there are only a handful of Brian figures left too.
Also, these are going to have a significant delay as it was just revealed they aren’t very far into production.

Is Cardona sold out on Ringside? Figures are both available at the time I’m writing this if you were still interested. |
