That said, I still think they make great product, and will be willing to give them a 4th chance if they do a 180 and cut out the BS.

This is just good sound business practice that respects the customer.

I agree on all counts.

Ditto on everything.

here's something new.

[armitage]

Is that from a chess set?

[Hellboy]

What happened to the arms. Medusa would look 10X cooler with her bow & quiver of arrows and Calibos NEEDS his sword. Great likeness though.

[joy_division]

Judging from the price($90 for the lot), I believe this are gonna be done in the same size as the classic busts - which explains the lack of arms. this sucks because classic bust are minute!

[Ink]

what ever happened to those wizard of oz MBs?

[patrickwm68]

ewwwww

[PitViper]

Damn, I would be all over these if A) they had arms, and B) they were mini-bust size.
