Loosecollector

So, has anyone with the new LooseCollector Bigfoot tried the Marvel Sasquatch head on it? I'm thinking they won't work as it looks like they attach in completely different ways, but one can hope.
This is my plan. I have a Toy Biz one leftover from a 200X Beast Man custom. It's smaller than the Hasbro Sasquatch though. And I'm sure the neck pegs will be incompatible. But it's fodder, so I'm willing to permanently modify if necessary. I am sure it will look too small, but unsure if it will look BAD. If it's passable, I'll go with it! Mine is also about to hit my PoL, so I'll likely ship once it does and post my results.
 
So I just opened the Skookum, and HOLY CATS this thing is a terrifying masterpiece! Easily the best of the “Crypt” offerings so far, smooth and useful articulation and a great base body. This is the “scary Bigfoot” and he certainly is scary! One head is savage, one head looks EVIL, like the thing in The Crate from Creepshow. A fun detail is the cracked left fang that is consistent between the sculpts.
I love this guy! I see the regular Bigfoot and the Yeti are in my PoL, so it’s time to SHIP THAT SHIT!
 
I was waiting to get Bigfoot this month as other preorders simmered down. Waited too long. I will hope it gets another run. I do hope Hasbro takes another crack at Sasquatch like a Dragonman sized fig, tall/broad.

I didn’t make that same mistake with the Dogmen. Threw my preorder up for those. Need a few to flank Anubis.

Now I like to say the word but I don’t know the lore. Are Chupicabras a mob style crypto? I also thought they were just large chickens. Nevertheless preordered the three pack.

Thwipp!
 
No. Some believe its just 1 actual creature instead of a species. If there is more then 1, they don't travel in packs. Supposedly.

I say that cause I don't actually believe this one exists. As like some other cryptids. Dogmen? Probably not. Werewolves? Same. Jersey Devil? I can see it... but I unfortunately don't think so. I've done alot of research on that one and alot of the stories are just too outlandish. It could exist, but I doubt it, and who knows what it would be if it were real. Mothman, probably exists. Not sure why Feds would get involved otherwise. Maybe its an alien? Or an aliens pet? I don't know, just spitballing. Skinwalkers are supernatural. I absolutely believe in those things, I just don't think some of the sightings are legit. And I may catch some flack for this one, but I believe Sasquatch and all adjacent species are real. The absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence. And there is ALOT of evidence. Probably 70% of it is fake, or misidentified. But its that 30%, from all over the planet, not just America. And while I think the Patterson-Gimlin film is probably fake, that doesn't mean that all the videos are. Something about Bob Gimlin... I unno, he just rubs me the wrong way. I can totally see him faking and lying about it. But there are some extremely credible people with first hand experiences. I can't imagine every single one of them is a liar. But what do I know? Lol.

Yeah, my Bigfoot also arrived today. I haven't taken him out of the box yet but good lawd almighty this is one hell of a heavy box.
I might have bitten off more than I can chew here.

In the first pics, it’s just resting on top of the ball peg. Third pic, you can see how incompatible the existing gigantic ball peg and tiny Toy Biz head socket are. I don’t think the head is made of enough plastic for me to hollow it out to fit this peg. I might need a substitute peg, but I’d have no idea how to find something like that. I’ve used screws or bolts for other figures, so that could work. I don’t care what I need to do to modify the TB Sas head. But it’s the only one I have and I don’t want to do something I can’t come back from. Gonna ponder.

I hollowed out what I could, and got it to fit snugly on the ball peg. It’s not a super secure fit, like the socket doesn’t hug the bottom of the peg closer to the stem, but fits tightly enough around the circumference of the peg that friction holds it on. It can move with full range of motion, hunched, standing straight up, left, right, left, right, B-A start.

The orange actually comes really close, as you might see in the third pic. It does need a bit of a wash. But I promise I’m too lazy for that. Last pic shows how much I dug out with the dremel. It’s almost like this was LC’s intention all along. But if it was, he would have made a smaller peg for the head!

There are two fur overlays that rarely stay in place but really help the look, blending the head into the trapezius. I think the scale js also perfect. I thought it would be too small, but even if it is, it looks right to me.

The figure itself has mixed range of motion. Excellent in the neck and above the abs, fair at the ball waist. No butterflies, but the arms move fluidly at all joints. Wrists and ankles are limited. Toes bend but then won’t support the weight of the figure. Good range in the ball hips, double knees and elbows. Easy to swap hands, which are a pair of relaxed open hands, a pair of fists, and a pair of grasping claw hands (there’s that nickname again) to go with the ferocious head. The calm head could also almost pass for a Marvel Sasquatch if you don’t want to do the mod, but has more of a cone shaped head. The ball hinge wrists peg into the hands.

Definitely love his size compared to Legends. We really need a proper Byrne Sasquatch redux that big.

Thanks for all those pics. They’re exactly what I wanted to see. 🥰
