This show was one of my favs as a kid but this is the only toy that actually looks worthy of my rose-colored memories.
12' Buck left me cold as did the small figures.
I do have a tiny Twiki, though.
(oh, that surely didn't come out right!
)

I cannot wait to get on board with these!

Take a little extra care when removing the hands if you decide to do that. Maybe even heat them up a little if you can. The hands can tear easily at the joint if you're not careful.
The necklace should have two layers. Lay it out as one big circle and then twist it into a figure 8. Fold that over to make the two layers which is the correct design. There should be one layer of jewelry pieces resting on top of the other.
No licensing issue, I just wanted to go with pictures of the action figures like they did with the original 12" MEGO versions.
Tiger Man's sculpt was basically intended to look like a mix of both actors but I agree it looks closer to the pilot episode version.Leave a comment:

But there are two actors who played him, right?
I think the figure looks more like the pilot episode Tigerman....Leave a comment:

Stuff I found out when opening the box:
Tigerman has three sets of hands! Cool! I haven't attempted a change of hands yet, but very nice extra.
I shortened the necklace slightly, so it wasn't swinging around his bellybutton anymore, but kept enough slack so all the teeth and buttons are not packed too tightly together. I took my time aligning all the teeth and buttons, though I don't think Tigerman cares all that much. All of those miniature bits are nicely detailed, and you don't get a one-piece string of plastic here.
I peeled off the tape (which is easy with "fresh" tape), so the box is now nice and clean. It's a tight fit (but I like it like that
), so I just held the box and let gravity do its thing, slightly wiggling it. Somebody posted that the box is tight to open, but the thick cardboard makes it look classy.
Thank The Maker for few "wiry things". I didn't have to spend an hour removing wires. They also didn't "dig" into the fabric of the clothes, which annoys the hell out of me, it usually makes creases that don't come out. They hold the figure, but not too tight.
Detail is great, just inspect the top gold bands on his boots. Nice feline touch on those.
Yeah, the soles of his feet are a bit uneven, but I love those boots. They're made like actual shoes, not injection-molded plastic.
I would have loved to have seen a picture of Gerard on the box, but maybe that was a licensing issue?
I'm keeping Buck in the box until next week. Goods things should be savored...Leave a comment:

Mine came yesterday...truly impressive, they make my head spin. Not every property needs this level of detail, not every ReMego needs to be like these, but for some licenses this is what it takes.Leave a comment:
