I bought a 8774 Vladek and my 2 cents worth (is that still legal opinion tender in Oz?) is that is it a cool toy for a decent price. Not really my taste for MOC’ing with but better than Galidor. Would have liked studs on the outside of the arms instead of front and back (or even better - as well as) and seperate click hinge/joints (instead of moulded as part of arms and legs). They also suffer from one thing most adult action figures collectors dislike, the dreaded Action Feature! (Boooo...!). The left arm has a slashing motion controlled by a knob on the back. This means you cannot pose that arm, however it does allow you to whack the crap out of stuff with his sword pretty well. All in all though a cool, fun toy at a price point cheaper than most action figures that might convince a few new kids to buy some Lego. Sounds just like what TLC was aiming for.

Are action figures generally right-handed or left-handed like the KK maxifigs ?

Can I resist commenting, smug in my own erudition, that there is something sinister about the KK’s handedness?

Probably not, and neither can I resist commenting on these “adult action figures” that James mentions... the mind boggles at the sort of “Action Feature” that might be included.

(And that “Booo...!”, that was a typo, right?)

   My local W seem to have moved KK stock, while plenty of black and brown $4.95 Rakshi are still sitting there.

Cheers

Richie
