    Hi thanks for showing us your Capt Scarlet ,I never bought him myself just the 5 Tracey brothers and they are top notch apart from a few small things, the point you bring up about the colour mismatch is well made the screen used marionettes uniform ,boots and hat were made using the same gloving leather/suede from a company called Pitards , you would think for the price you pay they could have made a bit more of an effort in this area hopefully someone will try again, all the best.

      Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it's much appreciated 👍🏻 Thank you for the information, absolutely 💯 not a bad figure overall but plagued with minor niggles and inaccuracies which hopefully will be rectified when the license is picked up by another company. It's a shame BCS when out of business because their figures were improving with every release. Take care of yourself and happy collecting👍🏻

    Thank you for sharing this rare but flawed figure. I'm old enough to remember Captain Scarlet but usually watched Thunderbirds instead. Please keep the reviews coming.

      Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel as always it’s much appreciated 👍 hopefully another company will pick up the Gerry Anderson IP now that BCS is no longer with us. As long as people want to watch the ramblings of an old man I’ll keep making em🤣 take care of yourself and happy collecting.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this review and for your candour, it will really help collectors make an informed choice if they are hunting this guy down on the secondary market. As you say , looks good from a distance but not every release can be a hit. I too lost money on Fennec Shand when BCS went bust and at the time it really annoyed me no end as this is an expensive hobby. A pity as their 007 line is pretty good it has to be said, and I do have smaller items from them, I have half the platoon of Dad’s Army in bobble head form , alas Walker, Godfrey and Fraser were never made, a real pity. Anyway it is what it is … Enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this piece, great stuff coming up I am keen to see, have a great weekend and as always , mind how you go

      Thanks as always for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated 👍 sorry to hear you were amongst “the stung” when BCS went belly up. Like you I had several pieces on PO at the time and lost quite a lot of money which annoyed me, especially when I found out they had been “keeping the lights on” at the business with peoples PO money, and would never get it back. That being said they did make some good pieces in their time, hopefully the IP’s that went with them will be picked up by another more stable company (KP, IconiQ 🤔) I really like those Dads Army bobble heads but never picked any up as I was hoping they would do the Home Guard in 1/6 scale at some point…..I can but dream🤣 take care of yourself and happy collecting👍

    I have this Figure and a thunderbirds Scott Tracy. Very happy with both and had no issues! I think you just got a 'bad' one. I had pre ordered the Captain Black figure but ...well, you know the rest of the story. I did get my money back though.

    • @goFigure623

      Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated👍🏼 Glad to hear you have no issues with yours, I guess these things just happen when figures are mass produced, I have plenty of other BCS figures with no QC issues at all. It’s good to hear you got your money back unfortunately I wasn’t so lucky, I had Laurel & Hardy, Capt. Black and Commander Koenig all on PO and lost it all. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.

    I was tempted by numerous BCS figures, but the horrors of the QC and their never-quite-there portrait painting kept me away. This was a huge temptation as the small Matchbox figures are all I have from Captain Scarlet. I'm sorry your pain persists, but it's probably going to be a long time before another is done officially.

      Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated 👍 hopefully the IP’s that disappeared when BCS folded will be be picked up by some more stable companies (ICONIQ or KP maybe🤔) there is a real market for these figures and the fans deserve better for their money. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.

    Good honest review....yeah that's a bit of a stinker..

    • @goFigure623
      @goFigure623  8 месяцев назад

      Thanks for your comments and support as always much appreciated 👍 Yup this is definitely a fail on the part of BCS but it’s some conciliation that they got better over time, just a pity that they didn’t stay the course. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.

    Thank goodness someone can be honest about this one. Like you say, a bit of a train wreck up close and personal. However he does look good in a collection and he is a bit of a legend.

    • @goFigure623
      @goFigure623  8 месяцев назад

      Thanks for that it’s much appreciated 👍 absolutely 💯 a fail on BCS’s part and a real shame as the Gerry Anderson IP and fans deserved far better for this iconic character. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.

    I had this on pre-order from Big Bad Toy Store since 2019. They finally cancelled my order after 4 years when Big Chief went bankrupt.

      Thanks for your comments and supporting the channel it’s much appreciated 👍 FOUR YEARS 🙄… you have the patience of a saint. I think the ridiculously long wait times and QC issues were indicators of just how much trouble BCS was in before it folded. Take care of yourself and happy collecting.

      Absolutely 💯 you would have to go along way to beat the awfulness of that WHY Studios monstrosity 🫣 take care of yourself and happy collecting👍
