Boss Fight Studios 1/12 and EPIC HACKS

Any updates on Popeye Wave 4? That 3/4th of the Wave 1 figures are on clearance for $14 at BBTS and none of the other figures have sold out makes me wonder how successful this has been. I really just want an Alice and a Geezil and would be happy, and Alice should be a pretty easy option given we already have a base Goon.

On one of their socials, Boss Fight responded to a comment that they would be announced soon or in the near future. Who knows what that means. Maybe before the end of the year? I'm also surprised they are planning to make a 4th wave because I assume this line isn't super popular, and they are now into really obscure characters. Alice and Geezil are my top wants, too. I'd also like Nana and Cole Oyl and King Blozo. My guess is that the wave will be Alice, Geezil, Oxbow Oxheart (or another big boxer), and Popeye in boxing attire.

I made this custom Geezil and was working on an Alice, since I was pretty sure the line was done. I'll happily replace them with official figures. Soft goods are not my Forte.

Well these just got announced(?) out of nowhere. Maybe Entertainment Earth jumped the gun on preorders, because I can't find Boss Fight themselves announcing them anywhere on social media. Tempted by this Frankenstein's monster but I feel like it was a missed opportunity to give us a greyish skin tone to be closer to the GDT movie and the Marvel comics version.

They appear to be gone from the site now. Were these at the $40 price point?

Not feeling the robot at all but Frankenstein is kind of interesting. And I completely agree on the grey skin tone part. It would also help separate it from the 4H version.
 
I kinda like the robot. But I won't preorder it. Ill wait till it comes out and check some reviews. Maybe wait on a sale too. The monster looks good but I doubt it'll have all that shading and shit when it comes out. They skimped on all that for sonja when she was supposed to have it.

Oh dang, that's new. I dig that creature. Definitely Wrightson inspired and I'm definitely interested in that. Might go for that one. I suspect this means we'll also be getting standard zombies from this line soon as well and it would be nice to finally have some good basic 1/12 zombies.

The robot I think I might even go for as another killer robot to fit into my Sentinel factory... maybe... we'll see.

From-the-book Creature also makes me hopeful that a Stoker-style Count Dracula is in the pipeline.

Seems like this is a new subline to HACKs for their bigger lad characters, with both of these hitting the 7+" mark. I wonder if Dracula would come with these or a normal scale Hacks wave.
 
These would be cool if all the profits didn't go to an absolute pile of shit that intentionally ruined peoples' lives for his own benefit.
 
Those are both cool offerings, and both very different from one another. I like the Creature the most. But I won't be getting these. The only thing 1/12 scale I will get from Boss Fight are the Conan figures, and any figures I feel will go with the Conan figures like the upcoming Delger Bat Beast Tamer Warlord. And the Red Sonja I just got which I love.

I did consider the Hellboy figures but decided to pass on those as well. I have really stopped getting most Boss Fight merchandise. I did collect the 1/18 Vitruvian Hacks but have quit those as BFS has transitioned more towards 1/12. And that last Wave of Fantasy 1/18 figures cost more but felt cheaper. So, I just think I'm done with those. I have enough Knights and Spartans to feel happy.

I do often think of continuing the Saurozoic figures. But I haven't ever bought Wave 2 or 3 yet. And I consider the Garfield stuff.

Different people can carry different loads.

This guy face-to-face, personally, no theoreticals or degrees of separation, hurt people I care about for his own ego and greed. Directly. Fuck Andrew, personally. He's scum. And TSI'll have to ban me to get me to stop talking about it every chance I get.
