Fun set. Dont know if I need or have room for it, but fun. I like the scale. Im hoping Scooby comes out at some point.
Yeah doesn't look bad, but I've got the One:12 Popeye and Bluto set, so don't really need this one. I've yet to PO any of these 5 Points figures, I'm really on the border for the Batman set, I like how it comes with basically everything you could want.
Why can't Super7 have this price point for ReAction. These guys have 5 figures and interchangeable parts for 55 bucks.
These are neat but I believe these are just a re-release. Mezco put these out about 20 years ago. Which is good for those who missed it and don't want to pay some of the aftermarket prices. Feel its just to give some Popeye product out they had which is in a different scale than the upcoming BFS Popeye figures.
So damn tempting...I have the 5-points Popeye that came with Krig 13 and it surprised me A LOT how much I would like it. I wanted to sell it but I just can't!!! I can't let go!
In hand, everything looks so perfect. The little scale, the sculpt, paint, etc. I DON'T WANT TO CARE ABOUT THESE XDXDXD!!!!!
The price point is pretty fair...If there were more articulation I wouldn't hesitate....BOSS FIGHT can take a few notes for their Popeye.
PRE-ORDERED! There is something a magical about these figs you can only see in hand.
The Popeye Collectors are loving this...
Mezco is doing some great stuff IMHO
Where's Wimpy?
If I were to guess if they're going to do future figures, they'll do it in packs like this so you'd have to get another Popeye for Wimpy and whoever else they would include.
BTW, Roughhouse and not Wimpy? What is it with WIMPY??? Every single Popeye fan ALWAYS wants Wimpy. That would most likely be the next request for either 5 points or One:12 hands down.
Then again, the lack of 5 points Wimpy leans to the idea they will most likely sell us another Popeye and Bluto because it will be the only way to get the Wimpster.
