It's a freaky design choice, right? Mixing those classic colors with the Batman Returns suit is such a weird choice, but it works!

That happened with the Ultraman I got. Zoffy works like a dream but Ultraman doesn't work at all.

@ Well I got zoffy and the light ain’t working, you by chance know how to fix it?

@@LurkingClass117 Unfortunately I do not. Or my Ultraman would be fixed haha. You've tried replacing the batteries, right? Aside from the batteries possibly being faulty, the only thing I can think of is there being a loose connection somewhere. But I'm not brave enough to open it up and I'm terrible at soldering.

Thankfully no. The knees on one of them locked up a bit, but I think that's more a matter of wearing down the detents.

It really is! Solid articulation that puts a lot of the major companies to shame with a whole lot of heart behind the line in general. Just good people making good toys and you love to see it!

I actually got him slightly too much lol. I snagged a preorder on Amazon, happened across one in a local Target, and actually had a whole case of the wave preordered from Entertainment Earth that I forgot about. Though I returned the case. I think the pack was 1 Knuckles, 1 Shadow, 1 Chibi Tails, and 3 Super Sonics. And I think that's a great observation about Knuckles and Drax! As for the head movement, it is really sad. Hopefully Jakks finds away to fix it in a future release. And thank you so much as always my friend!

I would say it's been worth the wait! Incredibly solid all around.

@@TyrannosaurusMoth My only wish is that someday we get a Knuckles like this but with articulated dreads, I don't know how they could ever do that but I would be happy if they could swivel up at the base or halfway point. I know the person who designed these figures said that they had to be solid because the dreads and limbs are made on the same piece, so have to be the same material.

It's very much worth it! I hope you're able to pick one up one way or another!

Hell yeah! Have you been able to pick one up yet? And I'm with you on the claws. Especially since we just got Therizinosaurus Mattel has shown they're happy to lean in when applicable.

@@TyrannosaurusMoth I got one! It's fantastic! I think it's the best release of the hammond collection so far, hitting every mark. If it had waist articulation like the T. rex then it would be perfection. I also got Delta, but had to get a replacement because when I got her her leg was fully glued solid and then snapped off. Did you see they announced Spinosaurus and Stegosaurus? The Stegosaurus is the dinosaur I've most wanted in this line since it started, especially now after all the improvements. I just hope it has a plastic tail like the Ankylosaurus (my favourite of the line so far) because I'm not sure how all this rubber will hold up. I have a figure of the reaper from Dr Who, Idk if you're familiar with that. It was produced in 2005, and I got mine new in box in 2015, and within a week the rubber tail on it had cracked and crumbled- after just a decade, and in box too. So that has always made me nervous about such rubber elements.

@@Dilopho Awesome! It is really top tier and I'm so glad you were able to snag one! Also sad to hear about your copy of Delta but good to hear you could get a replacement. I worry a lot about something braking on any of the Hammond stuff since the secondary market prices are so insane. And I had heard rumors about Spino and the Stegosaurus but were they officially announced? If that's the case that's fantastic! That and I'm with you on the tail. I haven't had any issues in my own collection so far with rubber parts of figures but that is my exact concern. I'm not familiar with any Dr. Who stuff but I just looked up that figure and that design is killer! I feel your pain with the tail issue you had as I can imagine how heartbreaking that must have been. That would absolutely make me more wary of rubber parts.

As far as I'm aware this was only available through PowerTown themselves. So circulated but in a limited capacity. I am happy to say I haven't had any issues with mine though. Joints are solid, paint apps are on point, and overall it's a really solid figure.

Yeah they have a couple of Brody and Hanson left on their site listed as uncirculated. Wondering if this was one of those. ​@TyrannosaurusMoth

@@danielcropper7621 Ah ok, I didn't even realize that was a thing haha. Where those say "for display only" I'm guessing there's something fragile/off with the articulation. I think there would have been something mentioning that with mine if that was the case and mine definitely feels solid overall with no articulation issues.

Thank you so much!

I did! Actually, I don't remember seeing it actually announced but thought I had heard about it somewhere (though it seems like a logical inevitability considering how NECA works). Then, a couple of weeks back I was browsing Target's website looking for something else and there it was! So I've had it in my queue for a bit, but haven't had a chance to review it yet. But if you're interested it looks like it's still available on Target's site! www.target.com/p/neca-nosferatu-ultimate-count-orlok-black-and-white-7--34--scale-action-figure/-/A-90787576

But that version comes with a whole different set of accessories which is a bit off putting if you want the ones that comes with this colored version…

They went pretty ham with this one! I even saw this in person at Secret Galaxy Expo and it didn't really hit me how great it all was until now.

It looks right at home with NECA's Ultimates and it rules. NECA has had the horror action figure niche cornered for so long and it's refreshing to see a new company come in to give us some stuff that they either can't or won't delve into so I'm all for it haha. That being said, I'm right there with you on Klownzilla!

@@TyrannosaurusMothpretty much my thoughts exactly! I was pretty excited by that 8” scale stuff Trick or Treat Studios did last year when it got announced, but seeing it all in hand the figures just didn’t really do it for me, I ended up passing on them. This Pumpkinhead looks way more in line with what I’d want out of a NECA competitor/equivalent. I honestly don’t even love the movie but I’ll probably snag this if any of my local shops end up getting it. It seems like NECA is gonna get back on track with horror stuff in 2025 (I’m so hype for the Ash and Cheryl 2 pack plus those new Ultimate Leatherfaces) but I agree that there’s just so many untapped licenses and stuff, we need another player in the game

@@uncle_vatred I totally forgot about the Trick or Treat Studio stuff! I gotta look into them again. At least look at some reviews. I'm right with you on the upcoming NECA stuff! That Ash and Cheryl pack is one of my most anticipated for the year and I'm real interested in seeing how those Leatherfaces turn out. They look amazing and though I do love the Mezco Leatherface, I really want a well done Leatherface with fewer soft goods.

@@TyrannosaurusMothyeah i skipped the one:12 Leatherface even tho it looked great, im not really a fan of softgoods stuff or stuff at that scale for that price range. That ultimate pretty woman Leatherface NECA showed off at the cons this past year is like my dream figure lol , so hype. Plus the revamped ultimate vanilla Leatherface is along overdue update, the og NECA ultimate Leatherface always had a very meh face sculpt to me. On top of all that, there’s the 8” cloth hitchhiker reissue that’s also happening.

That is 100% correct and I can't believe I said Hiya. Can you tell I'm tired? lol.

Thank you so much!

It's so good!

I'm so excited for that Klownzilla! And I would imagine the other Klowns couldn't be too far behind, especially if Klownzilla does well. Never got any of the SOTA horror stuff myself, though I do have the Street Fighter Vega and I love that figure. How long ago did they show off Leprechaun? And I'd be all for Critters! Your idea of having them come with the Crites is money if you ask me.

@@TyrannosaurusMoth For sure. They could _easily_ do like six different clowns if they wanted...but at least do the main three. I believe Leprechaun was shown off in 06' or 07', along with Herbert West from Reanimator. They would've been part of series 4; but just never came to fruition due to poor sales, new management, and declining quality. And the Critters thing is a no-brainer. You wouldn't even need articulation with 'em, plus they're army builders.

Dude, you have fantastic ideas! I would literally buy all of that if they went that route!

@@TyrannosaurusMoth Thanks man! And I totally forgot about the flamethrower accessory...and parts could be used from the one that came with MacReady. That replica totem pendant is a must for the set.

I'm so glad my review could be of use! I have noticed more and more Marvel Legends requiring a little heat before really posing them lately. The plastic for this version of Ironheart is definitely a bit harder than they're normal releases as well which most likely doesn't help .

I'll admit, I didn't notice the difference between the upper and lower torso until you mentioned it. I did notice the knees, but it seems the lighting is key there. And having seen that with other lines I figured it was the density of the plastic that might be playing a role there. Though, if the first wave is any indication, I'm wondering if they'll do a running change to fix those issues as they continue to roll this one out like they did for Ryu.

@TyrannosaurusMoth I hope so too and this is the first Dee Jay action figure so I really hope they fix this. Anyway if you look at his photo on the back of his package there is a big difference in the photo and he is much darker brown there and I don't see any QC and that's the Dee Jay we need

That would kick so much ass! Their next release is going to be the werewolf from The Howling so I think if anyone picks that up, it would be Syndicate!

​@@TyrannosaurusMoth I had that on pre-order, but then canceled after I saw Dean Knight's review. They really didn't capture the movie design well, other than the long pointy bunny ears. The eye and teeth paint don't look great. The craziest thing is it's the same price as Pumpkinhead. It's itty bitty by comparison, and you get less stuff. If it was the cost of a NECA figure, I'd probably still get it - just 'cause I have a thing for werewolves.

Absolutely terrified me as a kid. Especially the time Warrior was just throwing up all over the place. They just don't do it like that anymore lol.

Thank you so much! I haven't seen the criticisms you mention thankfully but I can imagine what they are haha. And now I'm totally curious about how that custom you made turned out! It sounds amazing!

I highly recommend them! They're every bit as fun to pose as they are to look at.

@TyrannosaurusMoth thats great to hear. Maybe i will start next year. The only one I've seen in the wild is Dhalsim, as much as i like dhalsim he wasnt tempting enough to make me jump in but a cammy or a ryu or a bison maybe

Thank you so much!!!

I believe it's 1/35th scale. The Hammond Collection Carnotaurus at the beginning of the Size Comparisons section is 1/18th. So, while these wouldn't work as adult Carnotaurus' with 3.75 human figures, they can definitely pass as babies.

I completely forgot about that episode! That would have been amazing. Real good excuse for an exclusive down the line though.

Isn't it? It's a whole lot of fun and indeed looks good! If you keep your eyes peeled in your local Target in a few weeks I would imagine that's when these start popping up. They always seem to hit retail either right when they show up online or within the following weeks.

I'm glad I could help! It's definitely disappointing in a lot of ways. Now I REALLY want another company to give us a proper Sabu. I forget if he has WWE Legends deal but that could be our only hope for a good modern Sabu figure.

They did a magnificent job on this one.

Me too!

@MAESTRO1MONSTER what a great pick up

Thank you so much! And that is a big score indeed! Hearing about all these great finds people have, I wish I had one near me haha.

It's a classic! And eBay prices actually pretty good. Right now it looks like it's only $60 MOC.

About the problem, The problem is Super 7 may be cool, BUT who are they to update playmates molds? I dont care but the big argument is is that its playmates design, so to say Super 7 did better is off putting. (mainly to nut job playmates fanboys)

Ah, that makes sense!

These feel like they kinda tried to do both? lol. The "Remastered" labelling implies that they're updates of the original Playmates line which I think is why so many (myself included) were confused about some of the choices made. Though, potentially to your point, maybe that Remastered labelling is more of a nod to the original intention for the OG line. At the end of the day, I think it's an interesting entry in the litany of Turtles toys we've been getting these past few years.

​@@TyrannosaurusMoth I think there was an interview or documentary where Laird said to Playmates that the figures aren't accurate as faces were swapped and it supposedly have texture like Fantastic Four Thing as it was his favorite comic book character. So I think they corrected it based on the intended design.

@@momo.ru-kun Oh that is interesting. I'm going to have to look for that interview because that is a crazy piece of background info.

Soft goods feathers would have been amazing on this! And have you ever seen the original Sentai series Zyuranger? Bandora (Rita) is even more amazing in that I think.

@@TyrannosaurusMoth I have, I haven't seen much from either show, but I latched onto Zyuranger much more easily because it's just... well, not to be mean to Power Rangers, but it's better. It feels like the likes of Ultraman. Bandora is simply amazing. Plus, it has a lot more dinosaurs and dinosaur-related things. I instantly liked the show when I saw Bandora rearrange an entire city to form a giant Super Mario World-style villain palace. Her power is incredible. Then by the time I was watching a robot T. rex doing a Gorosaurus kick and sending a titanic evil knight head over heels backwards, immediately after the rangers launch a space shuttle into his face? Yeah, this show is nutes in the best way.

But let me be clear, I said Zyuranger is better than Power Rangers- that doesn't mean I don't LIKE Power Rangers. It's fun and there is a suprising amount of exclusive content to it, including some great monsters like Pumpkin Rapper. But overall, Zyuranger does a lot more in the same length of time.

Standing up straight it's about 6 inches.

I'm right there with you! The game designs with this articulation would be insanely good!

Yeah, the shoulders definitely throw off the silhouette a bit. I'm wondering if they'll update it in a future wave.

I recommend it! The limited articulation is about the only real critique I have.

Thank you so much! I do love the idea with the toe articulation I just thought it was the issue keeping them from standing over time. I actually got a chance to speak with William Post at SGX and he mentioned that the real issue with the feet is a slight bubble on the bottom which happened during production due to the socket for the ankle peg. So apparently sanding the bottom of the feet a tiny bit is a fix for them. But at the end of the day I am real big fan of what Savage Crucible is doing! The articulation is so well thought out, the fact that they have customizers in mind, just the overall love they're putting into it is fantastic. They're only going to get better as they go forward so I'm right there with you being excited for what's to come!

I can definitely see that. TMNT wise I think he fits more with the comics than any other TMNT media. But he is right at home with Street Sharks as well! And I'm very much glad RUclips isn't doing that too. I have it set so any video I upload is specifically not labelled "Made For Kids" and the last thing I need is YT changing that without me seeing it haha.
