Two figures in intricate space suits, plus the Cooper head and clothing set for $333 shipped is too good to be true. With this company's track record, or lack thereof, this is not worth the risk.
Yeah, I placed my order for the deluxe pack with Kit earlier. I really wanted a Mann figure and was planning on customizing my own using a cheaper Cooper body and the extra sculpt from The Martian figure. Now with this coming out, I was thinking about just getting Mann only but with the Cooper civilian look, I had to get the deluxe pack.Will you double-dip or just stick with the ThreeStep Cooper?
I was tempted to PO but it was more than I wanted to pay (almost JND/InArt prices), knowing there would be a cheaper alternative. The ThreeStep headsculpt does look much better.
I don't know. If it is true, then it will be more than a downside imo. Probably a reason not to get it for me.The helmets are not removable, correct?
See, where I was. Yes not spot on and the ‘plugs’ are there and coat too short. But with some messing it looks really good in hand - imo of course.Ugh, Eternal Toys! I wasn't impressed with their Devito Penguin. I'll wait for it to release before I consider buying it.
Solution: You get them ALL!!!Difficult choice. Present Toys teased a Cooper. Eternal has a sketchy history with their half-botched Penguin release. Premiere is doing a great Brand in partnership with Threestep. Threestep has a great Cooper that costs too much for me.
Thank you for the update! Looking better!Threestep updated Cooper sculpt

Exactly. The point of me collecting these figures is because i'm a fan of cinema and I like to show my respect, support and adoration for the IP's I love in this highly satisfying way.Yeah, it’s kind of a gray area to me. Like I get it that different sculptors or makers of various parts are putting in the work and it’s not cool of others to steal that work.
At the same time though these third party companies are technically stealing IP. We all accept it because these characters are owned by large corporations and these companies fulfill our wants but still it’s not exactly right.
Exactly. Without knowing the full details, why this factory is being all morale with the one third-party over the other is beyond me - stealing aside from the other when technically 3step are stealing…Yeah, it’s kind of a gray area to me.

Sounds about right.There aren't too many factories producing figures. From my understanding of the factories out there not all are good.
This most likely is about who you know than morality. More loyalty.
Anyone know if this situation has changed and is still going ahead?Sounds about right.
I was wondering the same thing and if I should order the single Mann figure as a backup.Anyone know if this situation has changed and is still going ahead?
