Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

[PantherCult]

I don't love the price on that Frankenstein figure, and I don't really like it as Frank monster personally... but it does give me a Simon Garth sort of vibe. If it were about $15 cheaper I think I'd buy it to stamd in for Garth in my collection.

I’m still a little tiffed they put the swappable parts to make the accurate Baron Iron blood and and black major across three figures at this scale instead of two like at 1/18

But thats a whole other company. FMF (Fresh Monkey Fiction) makes the Crimson Moon fifures. This is the Boss Fight Studios thead...

Unless you were comparing the FMF choice to BFS choices and I missed it.

Well, I got wave 2 and 3 of Popeye. Since there are only 7 figures that I wanted I had to add a 1st appearance Popeye which I didn't really want to get the 50% off. Ended up being cheaper for 8 figs than 7. I was hoping there was a deal for the Garfield line--maybe next year.

Anyone heard updates on more Popeye? Alice seems so easy with the basic Goon already made, and Geezil seems like the last major character - sure they could find another Popeye and Bluto variant and call it a wave.

The only information I've seen is that Popeye figures will be shown 'later'. That was the response BFS sent me when I asked about Popeye reveals showing up during their advent reveals. I hope we see them at some point in Q1 2026. My guess for the wave is pretty much the same as you. Alice and Geezil seem like clear choices for the reasons you say. Popeye and a big bad (maybe Oxbow Oxheart) in boxing attire are my guess for the other two figures. I would be happy with that wave. I'd be happy with just Alice and Geezil.

That would make sense given they made them in the Mezco 5 pts line as well. I'd probably get them if they made them.

After that, I think they could close out the line and it would feel complete to me.

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the name correction. I'm not sure why Oxblood is often selected from the many big guys Popeye boxed, but it seems like he's usually the pick for merch. Personally, I think Kid Mustard is a more interesting character because of the whole spinach eating thing.

I agree the line will feel complete after this next wave. Although, there are several characters I'd still like to add that I'm planning to customize, like Nana and Cole Oyl, King Blozo, Oscar, and Sweet Pea's biological mother. I don't think any of those characters will or should get actual figures.

Quick Popeye diversion!

I did a quick search on King Blozo as I couldn't place him but recognized the name, and this popped up: https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=161725

Which led me to this: https://www.baskervilleproductions.com/popeye-trail - apparently this is found in Segar's home town of Chester, Illinois, which is about an hour south of St Louis along the Mississippi.

From wikipedia (but apparently no longer a thing) - Popeye's Picnic is an event held in Chester the Friday, Saturday and Sunday following Labor Day in the month of September. Popeye's Picnic consists of rides, food stands, music, and fireworks. The Popeye Parade is held on a Saturday morning
