Holy shit! This makes up for Capn Bounch! Any idear how much this is going for? Do I detect a Jack the Ripper/Freemason steez happening?
To use a star wars comparison: Kid Hunter = Darth Vader Bounch = Darth Maul It's not that its a horrible figure it just can never reach the iconic status of the original.
forgive my ignorance and noobatude but what is MASON's affiliation with HOUSE 33? jeremy? "House 33 is a collaboration between London designer/stylist Simon “Barnzley” Armitage, Andy Cruz and Rich Roat of, US-based font/design studio House Industries, and designer Jeremy Dean of Philadelphia."
Maul just never got a fair shot..he looks so damn cool anyway this is fuckin great! 33 bringin good stuff
Serious. Did you see that Duel of Fates scene? He faces 2 jedis and all those guards and he's like "bring it". Those were his exact words too. No one will strike more fear in the hearts of little children than Darth Maul. Best fight scene out of all them (imo)
But it lacked emotional content, it was cool to watch but I didn't care who lived or died. Plus something about the lame 90's "tribal" tat thing on his face took away so much. So nu-metal. Vader vs. Luke forever. It may have lacked zazz, but it had feeling. Guess I'm just a sensitive Star Wars fan. Off topic, sorry, back to the toy.
Maul could be the most underrated star wars character ever. Easily the most redeemable point of ep1-3. Dual of the fates scene really showed the essence of how different/similar sith and jedi are. loved it. everything else made me cringe.
I don't think anything can reach the iconic status of Kid Hunter, but I think Bounch along with this new figure really capture the essence of their toys. i agree with alex on his Hanna Barbera comparison, combining the bounch with this new figure will bring me back to camping in front of my TV on Saturday mornings with a bowl of crunchberries. on another note, this figure looks huge. how tall is this?
What exactly is this figure saying? 33 on the hat (okay House33 obviously) But the knife and the bag? And why a fox? I love (and have alot of) BxH but undecided on this.
The fox is a House 33 character - Jack the Fox. And yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a "Ripper" reference...I think I've even heard him called Jack the Stripper? This is pretty much just a House 33 figure made by BxH. The aesthetics of the character seem to fit with BxH though. And I believe Mason has some sort of connection to House 33 - he answered some of my questions regarding their clothing a while back.
