Wheres the color version? All those pics are B&W...
The trenchcoat one looks good, imho.
Though, figures of the movie would of been better.
I really want a figure of Mumbles...
wow
Na, I just don't feel the need to rag on pre-production prototype figures, as if I'm looking at the finished product. So many things change on the figures from point A to point Z, and some of us are already aware of this when they show their first pictures.So once again, people jumped the gun to rip on Shocker Toys product. If they'd have just saved all of their comments until seeing the finished figure, they'd have spared themselves countless posts of complaining over nothing.
The Dick Tracy packaging looks sharp.
*sarcasm* yeah the artwork on the package looks nothing like the figure that was made.
The prototypes were shown with every intention of releasing them like that if people had been happy with them. Why would Shocker intentionally waste money making a crappy first tooling, if they planned to make a better one later on? They obviously saw that people had given them valid criticisms which they then implemented in order to improve the figure. Explain to me then how people "attacking" Shocker by finding fault in an early prototype has "hurt" the company? They never tried to sell Chick Tracy to anyone, the figure they're actually selling is better thanks to feedback. It's actually helped them to make something that now more people will buy.
Listening to someone like yourself WWH is worthless for Shocker. If they listened to you, you'd tell them the figure was fine, and they'd have released it the way it was. By listening to things that myself and other have said looked bad, Shocker will now sell more products. Maybe not to me yet, because I'm still not happy, but certainly to others who are happy with the figure now, but hated that first prototype. If my goal in life was to "destroy" Shocker, I'd have kept silent and let them mass produce that hunk of crap and send themselves bankrupt.
People didn't jump the gun to rip on a Shocker product. If people hadn't given any feedback, they'd have released the prototype they'd already spent money making. Geoff can't be stupid enough to spend money making an intentionally crappy prototype, then completely redoing it to make a better one. Give the man some credit. He made the better one because people told him how to make it better. If he didn't get so defensive, and was actually open to all criticism put to him, he could have improved it even more.
The only thing thats wrong with this figure is the closed left hand. You've got all this updated articulation and then you toss in throw back closed hands from like the original Star Wars figures. Its strange they should just take the left hand from the suited Tracy and use it on this figure too.Also, what's up with the black and white thing? Character Options is doing the same thing with their Doctor Who Figure. WTF
The Doctor Who figures are in black and white because that's how those Doctors appeared on TV. It's a smaller run for folks who want to see the figures that way. There are color versions.
Basically the same thing Shocker is doing. Dick Tracy has always been a black and white comic strip. So they've recreated them to reflect that. However there is going to be a color version to reflect colored Tracy comics that have appeared through the years.
I understand that the shows and strips were in black and white and I respect that some may prefer a black and white figure. I just don't get why they would want it. But I don't get why some people collect half the stuff they collect. I'm really looking foward to the color figure. I hope it really does well so that SHOCKER will produce a whole line of Tracy figures with villians and all. I really like the 90's Movie, have the figures that came out then, but I want something new.
Heh, the original Painted version looks like a short-haired Michael Jackson.

Yeah, you keep rewriting history to massage your ego.
They were prototypes. Shocker asked for critiques. Critiques were given. Changes were made.
Don't be angry now because you didn't participate in the process and instead chose to pretend to like something which you really didn't. Were you afraid of being called a "Hater" if you gave your real opinion on the prototypes?

No difference eh?SWH and domu don't you remember ragging on the pre-production piece? I guess your memory must be slipping.
I think you're confusing us. I never said the new figures weren't an improvement.
Original pre-production Dick Tracy
Wow, yeah, those are awful. (SWH probably blocked them from his memory, and that's why he didn't notice the changes. Some sort of post traumatic stress, or something.) Good to see that you have developed a sense of humor and can post these awful pics now.
I remember when you first posted those, and everyone was calling it Chick Tracy. (Everyone except WWH, of course. If you had listened to him, look at what you'd be stuck with, lol.)
Anyhow I'm happy to see that you've been making the changes to your product and the way you conduct business that people have been telling you to.
Also happy that you have come back here. Don't be so thin-skinned this time and run away again when the conversation isn't entirely to your liking.
