I feel like they're perfectly generic as-is. Not that I wouldn't appreciate generic space walls with consoles 'n stuff! It's just that, if you're not totally familiar with the Death Star set, these pretty much cover most space bases.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-37037387437554414402016-02-13T18:25:19.078-05:002016-02-13T18:25:19.078-05:00Here's hoping they have more planned down the ...Here's hoping they have more planned down the line that are less Star Wars and more generic.Dr Synhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11662331056153128519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-61561915206463768112016-02-11T22:38:18.789-05:002016-02-11T22:38:18.789-05:00Haha excellent.

I feel like they're kinda standard for independent toy prices, at...what, about a little over ten bucks for a panel? I justified it by how often I'll be using them, and thankfully it looks like it'll be A LOT. Nonetheless: I'd feel a bit better about the price if these had been built with some sort of interlocking system. <br /><br />Anyway: Check out Barbecue's reviews! The figures do look similar to each other, but honestly, I LOVE the colors they're all sporting, and you can swap around the accessories. I feel like they could have used a few more accessories each, but I'll wait until I get them in hand. I wouldn't even second guess the 6 inch Courage figure, though. Just awesome, no question.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-13398459110784603922016-02-10T20:13:55.228-05:002016-02-10T20:13:55.228-05:00Man, I only had a couple Sectaurs, but they were A...Man, I only had a couple Sectaurs, but they were AWESOME.

I know I want Waluigi and Shiek, but I'll wait until I see Gold Mario to decide. Chances are: I'll get him too. I don't have a standard Mario yet (because of the Figuarts) but if he's like the Tanooki Mario, then I think I'll like 'em.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to getting some of the regular sized figures from IamElemental, because yeah, I agree: I can't believe they hit the nail on the head in one shot! I mean, the Courage figure can pull off Figuarts level of posing with far less complicated joints (and much sturdier). The independent toy scene is really where it's at, nowadays.

G.I.

I was just disappointed in the lack of wacky space-themed sports equipment.

I don't think I'll pick up the Samus, but then again, I did just pick up the Gold Mario, so I guess I'm down for bizarre repaints in this line, too.<br /><br />And you're dead on right about how incredible the articulation on the IamElemental line is: It's amazing that a first time company working initially on 1/18th scale figures has come up with better articulation than companies who have been at this for years. Just incredible.Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-89915839386842892082016-02-09T21:36:09.375-05:002016-02-09T21:36:09.375-05:00If you're interested in getting into this line...If you're interested in getting into this line and picking up some of the TMNT figures from 2012, 2013, and 2014, hit me up.

Then they go and put the Turtles in freakin' space suits! How am is supposed to resist that? I've got two of the Turtles now and just bought April, too. Love them all. And now the can of worms is open and I want more. Luckily Space Casey doesn't come with any of his weaponry so I have an excuse to pass on him (for now).JaceGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688014574196876697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-90334463865145296642016-02-09T20:23:49.345-05:002016-02-09T20:23:49.345-05:00Those make for some excellent backgrounds!Those make for some excellent backgrounds!jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.com
