Well. I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like this series. I went into this line with low expectations (I was disappointed with the TS2 line), but they have really done a nice job! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I am a little puzzled by some of the name changes. For example, I thought "Oddities in a Jar" was much better than "Family of Freaks". And "The Ringmaster" was more evil and sinister sounding in this context than "Tom" (Requiem or not).
But, I am soo glad we finally got an entire series that is designed to be displayed with locked/connecting bases. They couldn't have picked a better series to do this with either. And to get another original mini story from Barker like in TS1 is certainly an added bonus as well!
My thoughts on the individual figures:
Sabbaticus - I love that his tail is reaching around to grab the chair. Forget the teeth, fear the tail! Looks like he has some interesting articulation as well.
Bethany - Superior! Everything about this figure and base is perfect! And I don't normally like the "chick" figures.
Family of Freaks - Eh. The only one that does nothing for me. I'll buy it just to get the complete story.
Tom - By far my favorite! The flag, the fingers/hands on the chain, the "voodoo" paint, the midget (<== for TCM)... what's not to like?!
Mary - Freaky. Cool, but freaky. I love the gold and red colors. The body paint designs are outstanding! And the neck "collar" thingie is a nice touch. She reminds me of something out of that movie "The Cell".
Golem - Actually better than I was expecting for this figure. Wonder if the cage/wheel moves at all? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
