After months of speculation, and teaser posts, the folks over at
Unbox Industries finally announced the details regarding the first release of
Skinner's epic "
Bullet Belt" figure... and the pre-sale sold out!!! I was fortunate enough to be the recipient of a very rare edition of this figure, a nice flesh tone... or as Skinner likes to call it, the "Hot Dog Pink" edition... which is very reminiscent of the old school M.U.S.C.L.E. figures! I figured... why not do a little review for you folks... and above is just that, a very long drawn out LIVE video that has been recorded and is up for your viewing pleasure! Needless to say, the figure is truly fantastic. Designed by Skinner for Triclops B.A.S.T.A.R.D Universe Series, and produced by Unbox Industries, this figure stands almost 12" tall... yeah, it's HUGE... has 3 points of articulation, and is 100% any poachers worst nightmare!
The "OG" painted version came with plastic blister housing along with a removable print insert designed by Skinner, and it retailed for $150 each! Now, like mentioned above, this flesh colorway is not up for sale (yet) and I don't know if it will ever be... we do know that there will be a few artist painted runs of this figure in the near future as well as a special Halloween edition, so keep those eyes peeled for em'! Bullet Belt is highly detailed, and whoever did the 3D sculpting on this, deserves a medal... nay, they deserve a cookie, medal and a hi-five, as it's stellar! One thing that digital 3D has over traditional sculpting is that it can be produced at any size and will retain almost all the detail, and that is the case with this because they shrunk BB down to a tiny 2.5" B.A.S.T.A.R.D injection molded mini figure... which is awesome as well! This figure is rad, you need it in your collection... and honestly I can't find anything wrong with it.. well, even if I did, I wouldn't say it because my dreams would be haunted by this beast. Really though... the next release of this figure is a must for all collectors!
