A great looking figure, look forward to picking it up!

I might this time too.

The arms look a bit strange, but I think thats to do with the level of articulation on a thin wiry physique. Looks good on robots, cos you know they ould actually look that way, but on organic characters it looks odd cos you know that stuff would be under the skin.

It didn't look so odd on Death because his arms were covered.

This isn't a criticism really though. It's just the thing that happens with action figures with this level of articulation.

The changes mentioned (addition of stogie in particular) are welcome, and I hope they go for a more muted palette, but I think I'll get this regardless. The price seems a good deal less than Judge Death, (although still expensive for a figure this size but considering everything, shipping, etc, still not too bad) which is nice.

Not a lot you can do with articulating bare arms on a figure I'm afraid - you either make them immovable, or maybe some kind of rubber sleeve.

It's always going to be a compromise I'm afraid.

Oh, I undrstand that. An observation rather than a moan.

I think its a little more noticeable due to the rangy nature of the character.

The Sam Slade figure has gone on sale early on Bambaland but it's crashing like buggery!

Good luck folks!

I bought one without a hitch, lucky me! Now the long wait.

BPP · 29 April, 2015, 12:31:19 AM

Managed to buy one after 12 hours being locked out.

My advise to anyone trying to buy is leave about 2 minutes between each step in the process... I've each time you do something that would cause a new page to load.

The site is being hit by spammers and so refresh / quick clicks are setting off the anti spam devices... Resulting in people getting locked out mid buy... So space out your clicks.

Great looking toy and a fantastic price shipped atm.

TRYING to buy it... no joy as yet...

COMMANDO FORCES · 29 April, 2015, 04:30:36 AM

What's going on, I ordered mine on my phone and had no trouble whatsoever.
At least it's not a limited time release!

Albion · 29 April, 2015, 07:47:43 AM

Got mine.

Couldn't get on the site for about three hours but got there in the end.
Mrs Albion is getting it for my birthday. (It will arrive long after the event).

COMMANDO FORCES · 29 April, 2015, 07:53:30 AM

Christmas, or next birthday

Christmas I reckon. My birthday is very soon so hopefully it won't be a year away.
Now......where's Judge Death got to?

Mardroid · 29 April, 2015, 06:58:34 PM

Ordered!

The delivery option was "Online Delivery / No Shipping."

I'm not sure what that means. Hoping it means there is "no shipping cost"* as was the case with Mongrol.

I had no difficulty ordering on my phone. Only small issue (apart from above) is that after going through PayPal process it took me back to the payment screen rather than an order confirmed screen.

I did receive an order confirmed email and a paypal receipt, so I think it all went through.

Yeah, a decent price when considering quality of figure and shipment. Looking forward to pitting this fella against Mongrol on top of my bookshelf cabinet.**

*Or more accurately it's all covered by the price you see.

**Robohunter or not, I don't think he'll last long against the big metal ape.
Piu! Piu!
" Stop tickling Mongrol! Mongrol SMUSH!"
