I don't know. In the product pics, it just seems to me like the Vampire Killer is wired and poseable. I mean did they come out and say it's not poseable or just that it's made of PVC? This could still mean it's a soft, flexible PVC material around a wire allowing for some poseability. I was thinking it could be similar to what SSC did with their Catwoman's whip.

Where do we even email them? All I can find is a contact form on their website. Is that the only means to send feedback besides Facebook?

User question on facebook:

"Hi,
Can you please tell me whether or not, if Simon's "Vampire Killer" whip is made out of a poseable metal coil?
Thanks!"

F4F replied:

"No, PVC."

Someone followed up by asking if it was poseable at all, but there hasn't been a reply.

I submitted a message through that form on their website, but clicking send doesn't confirm that the message was sent, nor did I receive an email reply, so I have no idea if it actually went through. If I don't hear something in a couple days I'll post on facebook.

Thanks. Yeah, their answer kinda leaves it open to interpretation. It really doesn't confirm or deny if it's poseable. Just the fact that it's not a metal material on the outside. Wish they could have elaborated on that a bit.

Appreciate it. I'll try the form too.

I got a reply from F4F! Customer service thanked me and claimed they would forward my requests to the production crew, and there was another F4F address CC'd...so they appear to be listening!

If you feel strongly about the whip and/or chain, I'd suggest making your voice heard through the website contact form.

Im not sure about this figure... Its more expensive than Dracula and I dont understand why so much price difference... BTW and to be sure:

Regular one: Whip and cross.
EX: Whip, cross and Flail?

I dont like the Flail at all so in case I´ll fail and make the preorder i think i will just go for the regular one this time.

Yeah we also need a Beelzebub in scale!!!

Just joking.

No reading or research skills whatsoever.

He's definitely overpriced I'll agree about that. Pricing is my biggest problem with F4F. Their sculpts aren't usually as intricate as other companies but they still charge the highest prices.

I suppose the QC makes up for it though. I've never had a problem with any of their products. Only time was with the Zelda statue as she turned out quite different from the prototype, but luckily I had cancelled that prior to her shipping out anyway.

Yeah...so, Simon is 1/4 and Dracula is 1/6. Regular is whip and pointing finger. Ex is flail and cross. I thought the website was pretty clear.

Seems like they made it PVC so it would hold position for the pose. But not be so stiff to break in shipping. Since they didn't say it has a poseable wire like Hot Toys usually does with some of their capes. I don't think it's poseable.

Anyone here have Sideshow's Catwoman? How does that whip position hold up over time? Right now I would take a longer chain whip than a poseable normal whip. I'm kind of fine with the way it looks now.
