I've said..You're only buying the card art.Comment

I think they look fantastic. would have been all over these in 1981. what's up with no Kirk though? how can you not have the captain in the first wave? maybe they could not get the Shat's likeness license?Comment
-
I'm with you two. I'd also think it would be great if they sold some sort of bridge playset. Didn't Funko mention getting into playsets at some point, or am I imagining that?Comment

Motion Picture likenesses and especially the Search for Spock figures were much better representations. So it doesn't make sense for a "retro" line to not at least be on par with the product that came out from the same period they're attempting to nostalgically recall.Comment

I want to like these but cannot quite. Maybe the protos are off?WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Mego's TMP figures had better likenesses 35 years ago.
I will buy them to toss into my 3.75" scifi hodgepodge.Comment

I like these. I open most things, but the card art works very well and it's not like there's a lot of articulation there anyway. These will be the first in this scale I've bought.Comment
-
That's exactly what I was thinking. The likeness on the Mego STTMP figures were really good. They were also proportioned like a normal human being. These things have stumpy little legs and cartoony faces. Aside from the Alien line, these ReAction figures have been a huge disappointment. It's comes across as a cash grab instead of actually putting out a quality product for the older collector.Comment

Yep, these are terrible. Other than the Alien series and the Universal Monsters they really seem to have dropped the ball.
I'm genuinely hoping that BBP and others will pick up more licences and run with them. The Twilight Zone was well done.Comment

The Star Trek TMP, Black Hole and Buck Rogers were sculpted by Bill Lemmon, a legendary toy and model kit sculptor. To call fuzzy likeness "Retro" is kind of lame, I don't mind five points of articulation and simplification at all but this is wrong headed to me.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Compared to some of Funko's other "efforts", these are ok. Face sculpts are, again, totally irrelevant. You need a photo on the card to "recognize" McCoy..

I'm getting the feeling that once Funko took over they decided on an aesthetic and are sticking to it. Short legs, long torsos, broad shoulders and Elephant Man heads. The only ones that have strayed from that are the Universal Monsters and Horror Series. I'll probably get a Spock and Sulu, but that'll be it.Comment
