There are so many good B movie licenses like these that McF has passed on...and there are so many more awesome versions of characters like Jason, Freddy, Leatherface, etc. that McF never bothered making. I mean, they made great use out of the Alien / Pred licenses, but I have always wished they had done more with older MM licenses...it's cool that somebody out there, if not McF, is going to make these figs [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">that's partly why I like it.

there haven't been many toys lately that had packaging that I liked.
a couple of McF (Elvis 3 is the only one I remember. I preferred the card/bubble combo)...the occasional Microman...the Thundarr figs, and Art Asylum's Dark Alliance lines...
there's probably a few more, but I find the boxy clamshell to be very blah...

i like it.

can't wait for toxie
hopefully i'll be able to find these

I like the dark man fig!

one thing I mentioned on the SPawn board, re: this packaging,...it might have been an idea to put a movie still behind the fig...? [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] ?

or the theactrical poster
lookin like it's in one of them boxes at the movie theater

While a good idea, some will say that they are copying the concept from the original Moviemaniac lines....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm not seeing what you're referring to at all in the Darkman pic... ?

However, Darman looks "so-so" - I'll wait to see it in person. But yeah.. that'd be an opener for sure, as that is some HIDEOUS packaging...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good observation. It does look unfinished - like there was something left out at the last minute.
