These are very cool but after the reviews of Taarna and how bad she turned out I’m not preordering anymore until I see reviews.

I don't think the female companion has enough clothes on her.

Are these 6inch figures?

EDIT: Just realized they're $150. No thanks.

Executive Replicas manager: How do we make sure to sell all these Rocketeers? I know, we'll pack him with Betty Page.

That's over 70 bucks a figure... Not in this lifetime! Also his leather jacket looks more like a silk blouse with all those wrinkles on his arms!

Well...
This "two pack"...
Got me thinking...
for sure ;^)

She’s supposed to be like that. She was inspired by Betty Page.

Not gonna lie, that’s why I preordered today :D Betty

A less detailed but much less expensive option exists.

These figures look really nice, but that price is just way too much. Maybe if they end up on sale or if they start selling these individually they can reduce the price. I often don't have need for a ton of extra parts besides hands and heads.

I want Rocketeer, but I can’t buy this. That Betty is not even close to being $60 worthy. Her thighs and ankles have different shades of skin color. Wtf? This is insanely overpriced. You think Marvel Legends’ two pack of Spidey and Spinerette is bad? Well… now this takes the cake.

to be fair, you can't compare a tiny company to a giant like Hasbro. Hasbro has reused parts on their side and production numbers, the more you make of something the lower you can charge, i'm sure this Rocketeer and Betty pack isn't going to have as many units made which increases the cost

and these look like Prototypes, which is why i think the paint color is off on her skin tone, looks to me like different plastic underneath

To be honest, his jacket is quite wrinkly in most artwork and the film, but it's a poor simulation of that, the flow is very unnatural.

Yeah, Dave Stevens fetishized all those fabric wrinkles on the rocketeer in his artwork, so the intent is accurate to the source material. But, the wrinkles on the sculpt definitely needs some refinement. Loose collector seems to listen to feedback and make changes so maybe this is something that will get addressed.

"Hey, Betty! How's it hangin'?"

"Quite low, thanks."

Well, they need to fix Betty because $150 price tag for them both is a bit steep. I mean, I wouldn’t complain if this two pack was $90 or something like that. Since I’ve seen bad reviews of Taarna, I just don’t trust this company.

So I haven't read any reviews of Taarna, what's wrong with her?

All Executive Replica figures are about $75 each, so this is on-par, though I would argue Betty is really the Rocketeer's accessory since she came with absolutely no other accessories of her own.

Absolute crazy pricing

I saw video reviews of Executive Replicas’ Taarna. Take a look at the one from Collector Couple on YouTube.

I dunno. I’m still tempted to get this, but I still will have to see the reviews first before I buy this two pack.

The headsculpt and paint for prototype Betty looks great. I wish her body wasn't chopped up with ugly joints and articulation, but at least the bikini line hides the ab crunch. If that figure was sold separately, for a better price, I'd be tempted.

Damn that blows. Saved me a assload of cash though.

oh i don't think the price is right, i just don't think it's right to compare what they are doing to a company like Hasbro.

Taarna looked pretty terrible for the price she was, i wouldn't buy any of their products for a long while, that is if they are still around, id rather wait till they got some releases under their belt and improved

I don't think I can be on board with that price but Betty makes it very tempting. I will say I'm more confident in how good these two will be. Taarna was an earlier figure from the company but I keep seeing them improve. They just released a Hellwitch that's pretty nice. Lady Death had nothing wrong and I backed their kickstarter for the Monster Hyde. I've been paying very close attention to all their updates and he is looking amazing. Hopefully these come out real nice for whoever orders.

"Tokyo Scores"!!!!!...

I'm so close man...
Pull "that trigger" close ;^)

Hey, wow, these look pretty neat!

FUCK THAT SHIT
