I thought that was herpes. High realism!

@Dusty77 - hey bud, you ask some great and legitimate questions. I don’t have all the answers you’re looking for, but have some input that may help.
As I recall, the Larry Hama figure was 100% produced by the new factory (but I could be wrong). He came out great, featured a (very well) painted head and hands cast in flesh tone to match. You can see some of the pics and read other tanker’s thoughts in these threads: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...w-live-26.html https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...ussion-14.html Honestly, I was so impressed with the quality that I set my expectations too high and was disappointed when I received my EFR KS figures. I didn’t realize the new factory would have to ‘fix’ and / or work around so much of the prior factory’s errors. Having both the LH and EFR figures, I feel like you can compare / contrast and it’s pretty easy to tell which EFR heads were painted by the old factory vs new. The difference in quality is that clear. Last edited by Dod Ear; 08-26-2021 at 09:02 PM.. |

Bill said there are no immediate plans, but at one point they may do a ‘best of’ EFR KS produced by the new factory. To me that’s both good and bad as I don’t want to rebuy the same figures but I really want a modern Captain Eagle with a head painted as well as the Larry Hama figure.

I’m assuming that Sgt Bulldog must have been a new factory figure. The paint on that figure is 100% better than the other ones I have Eagle, Brown, and Zapper.

So is the general feeling that the Hama figure is a good indicator what to expect in terms of choices and execution from the new factory for at least the next couple waves?

I’m going to have to go back and look at the figures when I get home. I honestly never saw a difference between the EF and Hama figures.

I don't have Hama. So I have to wait for Space Force
