EDIT/UPDATE: This has grown to be much longer than I thought it would be - in the interest of brevity here is a jump to my post in which I lay out the scale problems and show 8" vs 10" or 1/9th scale vs 1/7.2nd scale, which is what the Colonial heads and outfits became.
This is a jump to my Cylon Chop Shop modifications.
Hokay... First I want to say that by no means is it, nor has it ever been my intention to slag any efforts made. (Hell Jason should know I'm a fan - I'm rewatching the entire run of Rockford Files in sequence at his podcast's insistence for Mego's Sake!)
Anything that I type by way of critique is meant as constructive, and having worked a very, very, very long time making dolls and toys both for hire and for myself as well as buying more toys than one person could reasonably expect in a lifetime, I am not the type of person who's going to nitpick about one paint chip on the ankle of a 3 3/4" figures deco because there are bigger things to be upset over.
Seriously. Trust me on that.
I really have to think BBP and all remego related are fans and want to put out exactly what they want to buy. I have to think that somewhere, someplace they're not getting their money's worth in terms of QC or product manufacture... I suppose these could actually be EXACTLY how they were meant to turn out, but I am convinced that they can't possibly be.
Wanting to see a company (that I really want to support) regularly put out product I want to put money into which will help them be a success is not unreasonable of me, is it?
Review in a bit.
