    Yeah, thats about how I feel. Not a KISS fan at all but I suppose this could appeal to some people. The only part that really bugs me is the head, sort of weird. Too bad they couldn't have worked that out a little better.

    Leave it to Gene Simmons and his rampant merchandise licensing to finally invade the 'designer' toy market.

    KISS sucks but I can kind of appreciate the kitsch of this abomination.

    I remember KISS's comic book that supposedly had some of the band members blood mixed in with the red ink. they have always understood they were as much a brand as a band. There are several things I give KISS due credit for despite not being a fan. As far as this toy I agree it's close to being so bad it's good.

    WANT!

    But may not get. I've been a Kiss fan since I was 12. Kiss seemed very appealing compared to the gray rainy weather and equally grim outlook seen in many peoples actions in the Northern town from which I hail. I love everything upto and including unmasked. Maybe the elder . Always great live.

    I kinda like this. Gene is a douche of the highest order and would make a great robot. If I can get one on sale I might do it. I'll put it next to my kiss coffin filled with kiss beer or some such. Yay.

    Ps. Four of these together marching on a playmobil city makes me smile. The thought of gene getting more cash...not so much. Paul's ok tho.

    If the head and feet didn't look so "designer toy-ish" I think I'd like it. But the head and feet just have that generic shape/proportion that so many designer toys use. And it looks better in the poster artwork than it does by itself...it definitely needs to be rampaging through destruction. Standing like a sentinel? Meh.

    This is one of those toys, if it was somewhat cheap, I'd be tempted to pick up, but wouldn't because it wouldn't display with anything and would just end up boxed in storage.

    I'm not a fan of Kiss so there's no interest in this one, but there's a Batman version in the works that debuted at Toy Fair. Might have to pick that one up.

    ^I'd buy that (for a dollar).

    I feel that liking KISS is acceptable if you're a pre-teen boy in the late 1970s; the Destroyer mirror I won at the boardwalk in Seaside Heights was my prized possessions as a kid. Then you get older and develop taste and discernment in music... and, well....

    growing up in NJ, my babysitter's brother had a KISS poster in the shed.

    this same shed was always full of smoke.
