Late to the party, I know, but I finally pulled the trigger on the Black Bolt and Triton set when the price dropped to 49.99. And, after having them for the last three or four days, I must say, they are both rather superfantastic.
Black Bolt is perfect. The only other BB I ever purchased was the one from the Okoye BaF wave, and this new one is far superior with his better build, better wings, better portraits plus, he's actually black.
Triton was long overdue and came out beautiful. I appreciate they went the extra mile and went all-in on the devoted sculpt. However, I would have preferred he had tubing/piping as opposed to the flat scaly costume details -though they do look slick as hell, and I really like they went with the metallic paint applications. The only alteration I feel compelled to make on him is adding irises. I did a quick CG mockup and I feel it is worth doing to make him a bit more classic-looking.
One thing I find inexplicable, is the inclusion of the modern head. While I'm not familiar with the modern iterations of the character, from every image I've seen online, that head necessarily requires a completely different costume for it to make any sense. In this circumstance, I would have much rather they included a classic Kirby-inspired portrait as opposed to yet another head without a proper body.
Anyway, I simply love the set, and I can't wait for Gorgon and Medusa to follow suit and drop down in price so I can scoop them up too!
