I must not have been into the game to have written only 3 words in my original reply! Ah well there's always the VTS.....

Since I POd this, I’m thinking I need to get him a horse. Just checked eBay — Man, what’s with all the Mr. Z Hanoverians? They ran out almost immediately of the better horse they put up, but this thing has been floating around now for about a year and half. Dammit, bring back the Ili. We need a taller horse to look better in scale — the Hanoverian looks too short with a rider on its back.

Yeah, if I were getting him I’d have to also get him a horse too, especially since that is such a big part of the game. Which is one of the things currently stopping me — I have barely enough space for my existing 1/6 horses as it is, plus I’d have to get expensive tack made for it. It adds up. And , as you say, the Hanoverian is just a lil on the small side. It works for certain female figures but imo the male figures look rather too tall on it, especially if you add the increased height that a 1/6 western saddle gives.

I hear you on all counts. Check out Amy Jones store -- she makes some decent tack (you'll have to scroll through to find all of the ones currently available):

Thanks for the rec! Smile I knew she did clothes, but had forgotten she also did tack.

Even if I did have room, a horse would soon take it up. Early days as yet....

According to the LIM Toys rep this is going fast on PO, and there likely won’t be stock left over after it sells out. Just FYI if you’re on the fence.

That's right, I decided to let this one go. I'm getting Connor and he'll do me. There are several games on the way that I want to focus on now.

Yeah, he is actually due out soon. Like many, they were hit hard by the pandemic and things slowed down.

Regarding the Connor, he will follow, not that I'll be getting mine though, the seller is a scammer! NEVER pre-order these on eBay!!

Aaagh... so many decapitated lobotomy patients! Smile Well, it is encouraging to see them produced in quantity. Smile And they do look pretty good.

Well, the pandemic canned my move plans, if it can be reigned in by this time next year then I might still stand a chance.

RDR2 is still going strong and only recently got some new content, so there will still be interest in this. It's also possible, due to the long wait, that some folk got tired of it and cancelled. Just have to see I guess....

I’m really looking forward to this, and it will go great with the VTS version I already have. My plans for Stryker entering the Western world is coming along. I’m going to use the “matching” sculpts in different forms, as villains/brothers as I don’t have any attachment to the game, or keeping the character as a single example of such.

There is a company doing a nice Sadie Adler to go with him. She'd make a nice companion piece.

Yep. I POd her when she went up. I’ll probably try to find a different hat for her, since the one she’s coming with doesn’t look so good.

Maybe only the very Old School guys will relate to what I’m going on about; but I love it so much that the two outercoats the VTS guy came with, and the one this Limtoys guy will have, are such a perfect easy way to bring vintage Marx characters like Johnny West or Sam Cobra on stage with more recent, more sophisticated figures.  

Those headsculpts still look great to me after 50 years (though part of that must be nostalgia, surely); but their sculpted clothing is normally a deal-breaker against integration with current figures. There's a solution through these VTS and Limtoys overcoats…

Pretty cool setups, MBAM. I like the salon-girl portrait above the desk; that’s a nice touch.

Great bashes, scenes, and photos, MBAM. I've missed your showing off your work like that.

Great to see Sam Cobra reclaiming his rightful place, center stage in the 1/6 scale Old West!

Well... his rightful place until Johnny shows up! Then we'll see some lead slinging!

Thanks for the compliments guys.  That set up was thrown together to set off Sam Cobra upgraded with his new coat, and it clearly needs work (painting needs a frame; bar needs to be taller; etc).  But it's so satisfying to see Marx Sam Cobra keeping up with the new kids on the block.  Particularly because this Limtoys figure and the VTS one really feel so much like having a return of The Marx West.

I've got two Marx Sam Cobra figs, and the one in the pics is the one that I actually had as a kid.  Imagine telling my ten year-old self that I'd still be "playing" with that very same Sam Cobra figure nearly 50 years later, and people around the world could see me doing it through something called the Internet...

That's good. The Limtoys rep on Collector Freaks got sick of people asking dumb questions. I hope you get him in hand soon.

Yeah I saw, I get it. All they were doing was asking every week when it'd come out when he just answered that he'd pass on news when there were development. I do appreciate him keeping us updated though about progress, which you don't often get even with bigger companies like hot toys.

Yeah, there were a couple people over there that were driving me nuts with that crap. I don't seriously know why some of these poor reps even put up with coming to the boards, but I do appreciate getting inside information.
