 Re: Monster Mantis
I think it looks cheap. I would've like it more with some spray, or anything to make it look more "finished," and less just spare parts from a bag temproarily slapped together.

In the halloween month I think this is SB's own "Frankenstein" so to speak. Using mixed parts, and parts from other figures is well in line for a Frankenstein theme even if it isnt called that. Just my thoughts.

 Re: Monster Mantis
I just wish the eye and mouth on the Madball was painted since the eyes on the Mantis are. That's the only thing throwing me off. Otherwise I think it's gaudy, ugly, punk and hell and really fun.

 Re: Monster Mantis
The madball head is going to have a orange paint on it. I think this is a test piece. Forgot to mention that. Also this looks so sick in person, not cheap looking at all.

Then I hope the pirce is less than what I paid for a really well painted/thought out DBM, but it won't be. devilboy wrote: audiodifficulties wrote: I think it looks cheap.

 Re: Monster Mantis
Any word on a relase date for this one?
I was kind of hoping this might be a secret Halloween release.
