I'm fully onboard with this one. I honestly can't believe it's happening nearly 30 years after the movie came out.

I recall the Hot Toys version taking forever to sell out and then being on discount so whoever speculated this might not be the expected hit could be right.

I’ve got a bunch of MM pieces. The only one I’ve had real issues with is the old, awful, Hugh Jackman Van Helsing PF. That thing had been stored for years and the jacket had some kind of crinkly plastic wrap that had partially melded with the jacket, and the jacket was a flaky mess when I got it out. It’s the only MM piece I’ve ever had like that, thankfully, but also came wrapped differently. Maybe if it hadn’t been in that packaging it would have faired better?

The bigger issue is though, if anything happens, accident, whatever it’s impossible to fix, so I do get the resistance.

Such a shame. Why wouldn't they sculpt it??
I thought the industry was trending towards Fully sculpted.

I think the likeness is great, I'd be in if the coat was sculpted, but for pleather I'm out.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Possibly to keep those that work with fabric in full time employment.
Neat looking piece all the same.

Yikes pleather pants too? That's such a shame because the piece is really nice otherwise.
