support what he said... You almost get 2 fig for the price of one

Assuming HT use the same connector (which is likely as they just recast all the other hands) .... YES

Prototypes are available at Toyhunters shop in Hong Kong or through toy-fairs and conventions that HT has a booth... so if you can fly to .... say .. San Diego Comic Con. (or H.K.) to be sure you can see them in person, other than that, you'll have to rely on pics taken by others... Do note that prototypes do not reflect final retail, they are most cases are better sculpt but are so-so painted (being mass produced).

Depreciation: In most cases (if you open it up), high-sort-after ones will appreciate, hard to judge, HT likes/prove to remake/reversion/reuse sculpts of popular figures. There are MISB collectors/scalpers....

The full specs for Mk. IV is still not shown yet... We still have yet to see the head sculpt, donuts, real removable chest plate/ arm missles...... I was hoping for pop up micro-munations on Mk. 4 as well. There is also the expected Mk. 6.... that may trump Mk. 4 or not......

MMS119- Sarah Connor body review update

1. As was seen, the exterior torso was used for Chacha Asai, So is the internal. As with Chacha Asai's body. it has a wide range of articulation (pic below), but extreme will distort the rubber torso.

more on Chacha Asai body. (Scroll below for Sheva's arms)
http://www.xl-shop.com/forum/viewtopic.php...&t=6816&start=3

2. Arms articulation is identical to Sheva Alomars. I suspect identical internal mechanism. Sorely lacking swivel motion which King Leo has. Swivel for the arms are relegated to the internal ball socket within the torso (Just as with Sheva)
3. Neck connector (ball on a stick) is shorter than that on TTF.t

Below is Sarah Connor doing ballet, the limited hip articulation/range restrict it from a more graceful pose.

HT likes to recycle.... Most figures uses standard TT, with only head sculpt and tailoring difference. Tailoring I bet is the major time/energy/production cost of HT, after which is painting.

For IM Mk.3 mold the recycle many colour variants, Though Mk.2 is unique. BD Mk.3 is a new figure in it's own right. T-600 most obvious milking..... I would say unique single use bodies/figures by HT are more worth it.

To elaborate... Mk.3 and Mk.2 shares many identical parts (only a few exterior armours differed, just added inaccurate bumps to a few existing armour sculpt)... You could say ONE general mould/sculpt/design generated 3 figures for IM movie (though Gun Metal is not in the movie). Mk.2 & BD Mk.3 shares a head sculpt. All share hands and light up-head.

Teri & Kato .... T. Stark BD (Mk.3) & Whiplash

A marvel heroine will be announced soon.... HT's Facebook pg

Yes... it has swivel joint at around the mid-upper arm...

How about Mk. 2 upgrade.... War Machine... 2nd or 3rd round of HT's improvement should be better than the first version.

BD Mk.3 would have been much better with a Kojun sculpt....


Hard lesson to HT... till now no preview MK.4 head sculpt... hopefully not a surprise a day (or few days) before release.

out in HK..

Maul is sellinng one.... and Shioktoys just re-stocked...

Abigail Whistler teaser

I would think they finally improve the female legs and hips... which I hope will be implimented on BW and Jill

2 options for display ... It seems under her jacket will be the pictured "singlet"
