So I will not be able to find this at my local S7 distro store?? Because I must get this sick MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!
WOW!! I'm really diggin this....I need it to go along with my Devil Bado Akro! Still one of my favorite customs..
See? Not enough detail on the old body to match the newly sculpted parts as well as they clearly could have. I understand that a whole new figure is expensive tho.
I think Parka was referring to the custom Akro. While there is probably room for disagreement on the overall aesthetic of the new figure, SB had to strike a balance between emulating the vintage toy and retaining their signature fight body. This balance was very well done, in my opinion. I'm a little surprised that they ended up producing two new arms, rather than simply making extensions for the non-gloved arms.
Yup. The body suits it as the OG had a smooth body (kinky) and detailed head. Plus, the SB body is a classic, if anything you could take off the ribs and have a simplified skull on the chest, but it would still be pretty simple. It makes sense for this little tribute to be the same. Although the detailed head vs not deatailed body is why I can't get into Skullwings.
I like it too. Keeping it classic with a tribute says a lot for the diversity of SB. I hope they run with this one...
This is really rad. This is what that flier art a little while ago was alluding to right? So there could be a bunch of these coming out? Might have to start buying more toys again....
exactly. which makes it a collaboration instead of a reproduction or "reimagining". i love the fact that this thing is so different from all other sb releases, yet will not look akward being displayed right along with the gang... time and price?
