      He's on the kid body, so a couple inches at least. It'll have a hard plastic torso shell (like the Venture Moth guys) and sewn sleeves and legs.

        So height wise he's probably comparably to Talky Tina or Willy the Dummy..

          Yes, that's right.

                I wonder if it even has a head under the suit.

                  ^ You need to get over the color thing These wouldn't look genuine if they were in color. Has anyone EVER seen ANY color pics from the Twilight Zone set? Plus, I think the B&W emphasizes the creepiness of the figures and the series even more.

                    I don't know...the B&W aspect of these makes it more likely I'll buy them: they are much more striking visually, in comparison to all the other ReMego stuff out there now.

                      Weren't the invaders actually full size humans that landed on a planet of giants? So they should be full size.

                        I think 'we' are supposed to be the giants in this case

                          I was semi-joking at first (notice the smiley)....but well, it is getting a tad on the overkill with you mentioning it everytime someone posts one of these TZ figures. We get it, you won't be buying them because of the color factor (or lack thereof)....move along I guess, nothing to see here folks

                          Sorry, I just think they'd look way better in color.
                          That's my preference and why I won't be buying any of these.
                          I think they look absolutely dull in B&W and I don't agree that just because the original series was never in color means they have to be a monotone figure.
                          At the very least they could've offered them in both versions like the figures from a few years back that included Werewolf of London, Frankenstein, etc. They had color and B&W versions of a whole series of them (and yes, I thought the B&W versions of those were dull, too).
                          What do you think the production run is going to be on these BBP TZ figures? Maybe the sales won't justify spliting each run in half to produce B&W and color figures....that might have something to do with it.

                          I just think it's cool that we're getting figures of characters that, let's face it, in the scheme of things like Superman, Batman and Star Trek are obscure. Henry Corwin? Henry Bemis? Jason Foster? These names mean nothing to the general populace except for diehard TZ fans, which I'm assuming is the market .

                          A 50-year old BLACK AND WHITE TV show with no regular continuing characters is tricky to market as a series of action figures, especially since many of these characters don't necessarily lend themselves to "action". A risky proposition to say the least....bottom line, I don't think the market is there to split the line 50-50 between color and B&W to appease a handful of fans.

                          Just my two cents

                              You know very well why you got (are getting) the backlash: it's because you repeat your complaints in EVERY SINGLE thread on this subject
