incredibly satisfying having a 1/4 scale two face on order

Okay but leaking gas, burning cigarette, a whole heap of dynamite under the floor…can we just acknowledge how insane this really is???!? Lol. This guy has a serious death wish.


Such a simple statue, but it’s telling a very clear story. The base combined with his casual, composed pose while presenting a coin toss tells me exactly what’s going on. It didn’t need to do too much to accomplish that. I can see a proper Batman squaring off against him, setting up a last second take down before the dynamite ignites into an explosion, followed by a trip to Arkham. Love it.

yes, it's a BIG size difference, for not much more.

seeing this size and price comparison asks the question, why would anyone want the 1:6 version when they can have the 1:4 version?

...meanwhile the line they were trying to build whether if it's super powers or 2.0 (whatever that line is), both started in 1:6, but this release kinda feels like the loyal 1:6 collectors are being hosed here.



meanwhile, the 1:4 scale or fail collectors seem to be happy, and im sure Tweeterhead is happy cause they are selling the same sculpt in 1:4 to an entirely new segment of collectors, while jacking up the price of the scale attached to the line-the series that collectors are already waist-deep collecting.

i've come to the conclusion while Tweeterhead give us nice products, their business practices and product solicitation continue puzzle in the most unique of ways.

Both DC and Marvel are ridiculous. A character can't have have a gun - even pointed down. BUT they have have mallets, swords, or a switchblade (Joker) and there is no issue.

I don't know who they think are buying these statues, but it usually people who know something about the characters. Not just comics either because now things are so mainstream. So whomever is running the branches needs to lighten the hell up. Two Face having a tommy gun at his side is not the downfall of our society.

34% bigger for 20% more money. The 1:4 is a bargain in comparison to the 1:6.

Makes me feel the 1/6 version is vastly overpriced. $125 difference for such a difference in scale is shocking in a bad way.

OK Igo, I took the plunge and POd the 1/4 scale Two Face MAQ. Now let's see a Ra's al Ghul and classic Deathstroke MAQ in 1/6 & 1/4 scale. I'll PO both characters in a heartbeat if you guys release them.
