    I fully intend to extricate them from their plastic prisons.

    So...cracked these babies open.

    Nostalgia trip = A+

    New bodies = Ok. The rubber bands inside are wound so tight it is tough to move there waist in any non awkward position.

    Fun factor = The costumes make them seem more fragile than they are at first glance. Tough to pose and stand on their own.

    Will I buy more = probably...I have always wanted Dressed to Kill kiss dolls...I mean figures.

    I Think these would look much better on Zica bodies.

    Might do a transfer.

    Brick made fast friends with them.

    Those are great. Looks like the hands are shrunk versions of the 12" body. That is kinda cool.

    That is great news Chris. Taking your money was the easy part. Now waiting for them to arrive may be the real trick.

    I would agree with turnbolt's review. These are definitely a step up in quality from their previous figures, but the legs at the hip joint want to do their own thing. These figures are difficult to pose, and take a bit of futzing to get them to stand on their own. But I consider that to be a fairly minor quibble because, on the whole, they're pretty well done and they look great on the shelf with my other re-Megos, not to mention that I am simply ecstatic to have these guys in the classic 8" size. My vintage 12" Gene is rather jealous.

    One more note. These are advertised as having packaging that can be easily opened to allow the figures to be taken out and displayed, then later returned to their packaging. That's slightly misleading. The outer clam can, in fact, be easily opened. However, there's an inner plastic tray attached to the card, and the figures are attached to the inner tray with those annoying twisty tie things which are, of course, twisted behind the tray. So, to remove the figure from the tray, you either have to rip the inner tray from the card, or slice into the side of the tray with a knife or scissors, and then un-twist the ties. One way or another, you have to damage the packaging to get them out. Unless you can cut the twisty ties from the front. I didn't do that because I was too nervous about damaging the outfits. The ties were twisted on mine pretty tightly. Anyway, I was a little bummed out about this because I felt a little mislead. But seeing them loose and standing on the shelf brought the smile back.
