Boss Fight Studios
- Thread starter Monkeywrench
- Start date
If I could just get that Gung-Ho and the fucking Eel (to use as a new Torpedo) from what we've seen in the Concept Case, I'd be okay with them ending the Modern Era line at retail.
Not happy, but okay.
I'd be okay with just G-H...though I'd LOVE to see them tackle a lot of the original halfa$$ed 25th line...
Well everyone from that first 5-pack of Joes needs to be done. I'm really surprised we haven't gotten an "Ultimate" Duke or Roadblock. GH and Scarlett are about the only 2 that would require all new molds to do them justice.
Besides them, Hawk, Flint and Falcon could all use redos and I wouldn't turn down any others they want to do, but there aren't that many who I feel like it's necessary.
(That new Flint is ass. The entire torso and arms are wrong.)

Off the top of my head, Cutter, Monkeywrench, ALL of the OG13, any figure using the Flash body that shouldn't be...
Cutter and Monkeywrench for sure, and Thunder. I would want them in a multi-pack or for the Club to do them with Boss Fight heads/helmets and vests. That's all those 3 need to be as awesome as Cross Country.
The O13 are kitbashes that could use unique new heads, but I feel like the DG Duke is about as good as we're gonna get on a lot of them. Steeler, Clutch, Breaker, and Short-Fuze weren't that great, though. I still don't love the torso used on Zap and the DG Duke but he's pretty good. The Flash mold is actually good, I'm just tired of it. They've done Flash and Grand Slam, destroy that fucking mold. All they needed was unique heads, why was that so hard?
I'd love to see that concept case Grunt head show up at some point. It was great, and I assume it was BFS who did it? But I'd rather see Hawk and RnR done in their V2 decos.
We'll they know their target audience.....
(VV seriously needs to rethink the decisions he has made.)
Butt Screw!?!
That's weird as hell. I assume that spartan will have a cloth covering it but what about other figs?

The sculpt looks pretty alright. But what's the deal with actual pricing and selling? Or am missing something.
I could go for those B.A.T. attachments. A shame we probably won't get a chance to have a caster cast them. 
From their site:
"So we thought we’d put up a quick FAQ.
Q: What scale are your figures?
A: They’re a 4″ scale, similar to modern GI Joes and Star Wars.
Q: When will your figures be available?
A: The plan is to have our Kickstarter campaign up soon, and if that’s successful, have the product ready to ship to consumers late this year/early next year
Q: Are you only doing Greek Mythology figures?
A: Nope, as we’ve said before “THERE ARE NO LIMITSâ€. See teasers for upcoming assortments elsewhere on the site!
Q: What price will your figures be?
A: We’re still working that out.
Q: Why can’t you just do versions of (insert existing product line here)?
A: We wanted to do something that could be a creative vehicle for EVERYTHING we always wanted to see as awesome toys. We think it’s way cooler to give you guys something you haven’t been able to get before! If things go well, we have more, really diverse product lines planned for the future – not just 4″ scale figures!
Q: Can you make me a custom figure?
A: Well, yes and no (mostly no). We’re fans and customizers, but we’re also professionals. This is our job – not a hobby, and that means we charge *professional rates* (i.e.: many thousands of dollars).
Q: When can we see more of your product?
A: Keep checking this site, our Facebook and Twitter, and you’re sure to see the reveals as they happen, and don’t forget to sign up for our email newsletter!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR INTEREST AND KIND WORDS!"

I did not realize there was a demand for Greek mythology type items. Hopefully they do something with military figures down the line but I am thinking their price point will be about where most of these smaller companies are currently.
Unfortunately, theyre plan is for Greek mythology, fantasy, sci-fi/space. I think military is out of the question.
2/3 of those are boring IMO. They want to do a 4th line, but I don't think it has been decided.
Sorry, but fuck that.

I want only military for the most part but I respect their decision to provide action adventure lines that are unique in the toy world.
Well with small production runs you might as well stick to overpriced transformers.
I'm used to the cost of low volume highly-engineered, transforming figures, and even then I'm very selective...I am not however, used to $20+ tiny articulated figures no matter the production volume...$10 started to get unreasonable to me for such things...a 100% jump in cost is not something I personally can justify...there has got to be something other than "it's cool" for me to bite at $20, like a serious dose of nostalgia...
so while these new lines are indeed extremely cool, there is ZERO nostalgia there for me...$10, yeah, that's about the most I can stomach for "cool"...but $20?

That's pretty much my plan. When I look at my list of BBTS preorders, it's 90% overpriced 3rd party transformer designs.
