    I can post a link to the sticker if anyone would like to print their own. I just did super cheapo photo 4x6 cut-outs and added double sided tape, but it would be cool if someone did a vinyl sticker run *(HINT)
    THIS should have been the new SMDM figure.

    It looks great inn so many ways

    The new real release is dull and boring at best

      Hmm, I'm seeing Roger Moore and George Lazenby, but not the easily unique features of Lee Majors.

      I think either the Bionic Joe and Basa sculpts would have been perfect.

      The outfit is fine.

      And Bigfoot......hasn't got big feet and looks a bit overweight. If anything he looks like hairy version of that guy in Lost.

        I like the customs. Their very reminiscent of the old Kenner figure. But I do like the new one alot. I think BBP is doing a great job at bringing this line back to life. Can't wait to get mine!

            The customs make me think of the Kenner toy, which is cool but is not necessary in a the new version to me. If I were to copy Kenner, I would use the Maskatron Steve face since it does not have a big hole for one eye. Or I would want to find a way to drill out the head and put a lens in there so I could have a smaller version of the bionic eye.

              Yeah, I'm still not seeing it in the end result, while I could clearly recognize Lee in the prototype sculpt.

                MIB41 sums it again. Daggnabit. Some day I'll beat him to the post....someday.
                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                  The skin tone and translucent "waxiness" work against many BBP sculpts IMO.

                  The lack of opacity does a disservice to the sculpt, & the skin tone makes the characters look washed-out.
