That said, I'm glad at least Fulgore is posable. I might pick him up if the final figure is decent and I can find him at a discount.

Too bad about Hisako being immobile, although they would have to do something pretty innovative with her articulation to get her in some of the contorted poses she strikes in the game. But the figure in the updated pics you guys posted looks like shit compared to the prototype:


The paint looks way better on the proto. It's way too clean-looking now. And the knee (and possibly elbow) joints on the proto have been removed.

Both true, but just with all of maximillian dood's followers and the ki community they arent true colelctors but for figures you can EASILY hide articulation, they said "look over articulation" but for a figure costing around 50 is a bit much. IF and only IF Spinal and Fulgore are actually articulated not "articulated" then the price is worth it. Check out figma's bubble nurse, it's BARELY noticeable. But with the shameless promotions of free figure to top guys, they got some cash. But I jumped the boat cause the shipping was basically $10 for mainly packaging, its a HUGE BOX. with a smaller box containing a card for the skin and a sword. The rest is a 6 inch figure....and packaging plastic....for real?
