They did the vac metal for their He-Ro figure after they faced a ton of backlash over the matte painted prototype they showed off. And it was really well done. They can make it work, they’re just being cheap.My understanding is that these are all new male bucks, i don't know about female, so it's hard to comment on them. I only own the first wave of Tcats, but the quality of the plastic is good, they have some weight to them. The biggest negative is the limited elbow and knee articulation.
They said they can't make the metallic paint or vac metal work. I think they would have if they were able. A lot of negative feedback over it.

Practically every single thing they make in Ultimates now use all new molds/bodies etc. Even if they're in that style like the Conan figures, they're all new molds, so everything here is all new.My understanding is that these are all new male bucks, i don't know about female, so it's hard to comment on them.

It's not about the price, as ridetofight said, they're making figures with good articulation, and it just doesn't work all vac metal. At the very least, every joint piece would have to be painted and not vac metal. I'm sure they'll do Reaction variants vac metal, but not the Ultimates.They did the vac metal for their He-Ro figure after they faced a ton of backlash over the matte painted prototype they showed off.

Looks like you got your wish. Toy versions are the next wave.I'm glad Super 7 is giving us figures from a somewhat obscure franchise (relative to Thundercats, TMNT, etc).
Nostalgia overload - I had some of these figures as a kid and the cartoon always had a fond place in my heart.
I get they're going more for the cartoon look rather than the original toy chrome - but I do wish chrome was an option - curious to see what they would look like in modern day form.
