I really agree with your statement about the articulation and sculpts. The Gene and Peter are great.. Ace is ok, Paul.. eh... I would very much like to see these in a more "vintage" or "retro" format, especially given their size. I gotta say that I am happy with them for the price. I paid $10 each. I can't help but like these though. Thrilled to have 3+3/4" Kiss in my possession!

Where did you get them for $10 each?Comment

Local record shop in MPLS, MN... Down in the Valley. They have a bunch of merch.... head shop crap, etc. They did a deal where they were $40 for the set. Great deal!Comment

First post and thanks for the add.
I received mine in the mail today and am happy to finally own KISS action figures. The face paint on my figures is pretty good. I agree with most of the posters above about the figures being slightly thin though. The articulation is nice but they don't stand too well. I wish they would have included some stands for them.
I would have loved these figures back in the 70's when I was growing up and I am happy to have them. I hope they continue with the other KISS era outfits. Dynasty/Unmasked with Eric Carr, Creatures Of The Night with Vinnie Vincent, Eric Carr, Ace Frehley, Destroyer etc. The possibilities are endless for KISS.Comment

Ace looks the best, Paul and Peter are fine/passable in my book, but that Gene is HORRIBLE! I've seen the bendables and the Christmas ornaments (which I have) with a better likeness.Comment

I heard there is another version of Gene with blood. Does anybody know if and when that is going to be made available?Comment

I love the Gene Simmons figure! To each their own as they say.
Bloody Gene... I believe the bloody Gene variant is included with the Alive 2 stage set.Comment

I just got these from Entertainment Earth and I love them. I got the set of 4 and the bloody version of Gene. My basic Gene had a little paint slop on the nose. Overall I love these! I am anxious to get more and would honestly love to have other bands too- Ozzy, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, etc! I definately want Kiss Destroyer variants too. Does anyone know where to get a decently scaled 1:18 drum kit for Peter Chris? I was hoping for something usable on shapeways.com, but had no luck.Comment

great news about more figures. I really love these guys. Any idea about a rough time frame for the next wave?Comment

Hopefully the licensor restrictions for Eric Carr and Vinnie Vincent can be resolved. Any timeline for news on the follow on KISS action figures would be appreciated. This, at least for me, is the most anticipated line of action figures. I've been collecting action figures since the 1970's and am also a huge KISS fan.Comment

I've said it before, but I love these figures. I do think that, while the articulation is nice to hold the instruments, it could be done more simply and elegantly if the guitars were handled a bit different. Sure, straps are great but the figures don't really hold the instruments well with the straps and the straps do not drape around the figures as intended. As a designer and toy lover, I'd suggest looking back to a simpler and alternative solution to this problem... perhaps like a body clip or something else that would position the instrument well on the figure. Not that you need advice from some guy on a action figure message board (I fully realize!) but I think it's a way better and elegant potential solution than the straps that sort of work. Thanks BBP! I love these... it's just a suggestion. \m/ Can't wait for the next round... Dynasty?!? Destroyer?!? My vote is for Dynasty first!!!! Anyone else have a favorite for the next wave?!?Comment
