I like the figures. They're beautiful. But Taarna was a fuckin mess, and it broke instantly out of box for almost anyone that bought it. And not like just one piece. The figure fuckin fell apart on the review I watched, and the comments were of people saying the same shit happened to theirs. Ankles breaking, wrists breaking, and the paint was nothing like the solicitation (even though that happens alot, it was still a big thing). This was the super expensive one people waited over a year for too, with the flying dinosaur. And the first run of black suit Lady Death and Hellwitch both had issues with arm and leg joints breaking. Not to mention they are way overpriced. The figures are nice. They look good. But the breakage issues, the fact they can barely stand on their own, and that they look just slightly better then Marvel Legends (and not even in some cases) the price is steep. I try to get them on sale if I can. Its just no one else is making these characters. And I really enjoyed them when I was younger. I bought all the Clayburn Moore stuff. Some of it was probably horny teen angst. But I think I get alot of my love for darker characters and darker stories from Lady Death and Witchblade. I enjoyed the stories. I think if there was an alternative, slightly cheaper but same quality I would definitely go that route. But they're the only game in town even trying to make 1/12 figures of these. I still need a fuckin Witchblade figure that isn't absolute garbage. And I am in the process of buying parts for a Lara Croft custom but I'm hitting a few snags and the pieces are more expensive then I wanna spend on it right now. I was looking into making my own Witchblade, but I'm not good enough for all the sculpting work. I bought his Red Sonja and I absolutely love that figure. But I got the Boss Fight one too, and it looks a little better, comes with tons of shit, and its cheaper then the LC one, by a nice margin. I want that gold armor LD with wings. But I'm not paying that price for it. As is I preordered the reissue of the black suit one, and its still like $30 more then it was when it first came out. But you can't find the old one for under like $100 aftermarket anymore. So its the $80 or nothing lol.
So there's this guy that does comic auctions online. Not ebay, some live stream thing. They call him Beta. But anyway, he has basically a PoL feature he does for his customers but he'll keep them for a long ass time and just let them pile up for people. My friend actually bought me, without me knowing, I think it was the first 6 or 12 issues or something of Lady Death. And they're sitting in his box waiting for a couple of other things to ship it to me. I don't remember how many he got but he said it was like the first run of some singles. That was really fuckin cool of him.
