Kaustic Plastik - XXL Project set 1 - The Fantasy Warrior

[Kaustic Plastik]

Of course there are some license issues... Perfect likeness is not our priority. This head is just something we are producing to help who ordered the Expansion kit that comes with no head.

Again, thank you for not leaving us headless.

There's always custom head sculpts out there.
While not the perfect sculpt, I'm thankful to KP for at least giving us another option.

sorry for the crappy pictures
i will post hd photos when finish completely

my conan so far
still a lot of work to do
1) finish the headband
2) glue hair on head
3) build custom base

Looks like KP made some improvements. As one who voiced concern for the first reveal, I like what they did with it, although I'm not quite sure what that is. It looks a little more like Arnie with the headband on now. No picture without the headband.

 

[CanadianBrandon]

Yeah I'm intrigued as to what changes they made, but it definitely looks more like Arnie now.

Nothing has changed, it's just the angle.

 

[rjszar]

They claimed additional improvements on Facebook. Something does look different even if very subtly.

 

[CanadianBrandon]

I hope we hear something soon

Any news on the release of this yet?

From Kaustic's fb page:


















Although not perfect, it's quite good hs.
Wish they had produced it and sold it together with the 1st xxl set.
Now it's extra cash that makes the whole set more expensive.
Maybe Kaustic could give it for free, as Aci plans with their wrong helmet of a Greek warrior?

Well..... I really don't think it is the same situation.
When we posted our First Fantasy warrior in 2014 EVERYONE knows the likeness was not perfect.
We never hide this.
The promotional pictures was very clear.. and the production version was IDENTICAL to preview picture.

The Deluxe Version it's a new product for who want a better likeness.
And it's made EXPECIALLY to who pre ordered Modern Life head and discovered the project was cancelled... and of course to who bought the Expansion kit, that comes with no head at all.

In my opinion there should not be 2 sculpts, but 1 that should have been great from the beginning.
And of course with likeness as everyone knows the actor.
But that is wishful thinking.

Anyway what about us who bought the 1st set and have the "standard" sculpt?
Other companies (Aci, Asmus) offer for free their improved versions of their "mistaken" products.
Any chance of getting it for free or at least with a 50% discount?

I don't think our original version was a 'mistaken product'. But I can understand that I cannot make everybody happy.
No there is no discount on our original release.
This is a new different product.

My question is very very simple: when you bought the first kit you was aware of the sculpt? I didn't hide the likeness of the first product.
In some way my promotional pictures was retouched or the product was different in some way from promotional images?
I really don't think so.
So next question is: Why you bought it? You know you didn't like the head from promotional photos.. Why you bought it?

I bought it 'cause I like the character, the actor & the movie of course.
I chose & paid for it because at the time no other company was making this figure
and the price was ok (I even had a muscular Kaustic spare body lying around at the time).
If there was another option, trust me I would have considered it.

I didn't say that you hid anything or the hs was different from the prototype.
My remark is that the head should have been better from the 1st version.

Listen Fabio because you are passionate about your products,
but I am also passionate about my collection and I like to pay "bang for my buck".
That's why I have very few hot toys figures in my collection and that 's why I consider every purchase,
because money especially nowdays in Greece are not easy to find.

So when I have to pay for a 2ond hs that I should have gotten at the 1st place,
and the company offering it is the same company that made the 1st set, then yes I feel cheated.
I wrote the same remarks to Pangaea when they planned to produce a 2ond version of their Greek Warrior.
The posts are there and you can find them but I think you know already.
In the past you have accused me, now I hope that at last you can see my point of view.

I share some of your views, but to be fair, Fabio did not set out to make a deluxe head because he wanted more money. Modern Life bailed on us. KP tried to step up to the plate. They didn't have to do that.
