How was the paint job on that Ob-Wan statue, John? I got mine when it was released some time ago and the paint job on Obi-Wan's face wasn't very good. HIs facial hair bore little resemblance to the paint job in the solicitation.

I was actually a bit disappointed when my Mego Hulk came-- I used to have
one a few years back that was 12" or so. I thought that this was the same
one as it looked pretty mcuh identical-- little did I realize the one I just got
was 7" or so!
Still, he's a fun little guy and it's easy to display him.

Rogue is out in June and Black Widow is out in August.
++++
The Kotobukiya Black Widow will release in Japan this coming May.
HobbyLink Japan is now taking pre-orders for it (locked mine in already):

Looks like Rogue gets a later Japan release.

Black widow : She looks more like Fujiko Mine (from the animation Lupin 3rd) than the Black Widow to me...

John- Ha! My debating has lost me the prize. My wife had bought me a reduced animated style Boba Fett for Christmas but it got broken in the packaging process (How much of a bummer is it to be given a present with the words 'Be careful when you open it, I think they broke it and it may have to go back'?). After a few weeks wait for a replacement I was informed that they no longer do store transfers and had to have my money back. I debated that Obi Wan for a good 10 miniutes before deciding I would deliberate a bit more.
Well done, it's a great piece!

Not familiar with that character, but the costume for the Widow is spot on,
save for the bare hands.

Didn't notice the heels -- but they fret me not. I like high heels! (They
make my legs look longer.)

Sorry to hear of your bad luck James.I also was going to have all the Thunderbird models they had but all that was left was Thunderbird One that looked a bit wonky with it's rear fin placements so i left it, i did like the Yoda one though mind you i like them all.
