Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou
w00t!
Anyway, got my blind box! Only did a single, I'll have to be happy with that.
I think all three look great, but I'm kind of hoping to get the orange or blue one a bit more over the black one. Just a preference thing for me.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou
Apparently there's a Exclusive 2 pack too. Great! I think ThreeA does that so even the most loyal fans & customers get a chance to miss out on neat stuff!

I couldnt have put it better myself. This results in higher prices on ebay and annoyed customers.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou
When I first saw the images of Ankou, I wasn't too crazy over it. But it somehow grow on me. The only thing about these Ankous is I am quite sure it has a "human" sculpted body inside that jumpsuit. Ankou is a robot isn't it? With a robotic head and robotic pincer hands but a human body? Really hope 3A surprises us with robot sculpted body instead but I think there is little chance.
With ALL that said, I still got a 3 packs
Not a chase the "chase" person

Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou
Porkins, it won't be a robot body, but a human body as you had guessed. Ash said they couldn't redesign the body without drastically increasing the price. He also mentioned possibly having a 'fat man' version of Ankou down the road.
As for the surprise packages, they are very frustrating. I remember all those hours lost as I tried to score a Chinese New Year editon Tomorrow Queen. My wife was getting pissed at me as dinner was getting cold, I was neglecting my kids, so in the end I told myself never again.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou
Thanks for the insight Kaido I was thinking they can just use the same Popbot body - with a little modification on the height - and use it for Ankou. Anyway, it is over and done with, now the only other thing to do is to wait for it's shipment.

Good riddance Kaido
I do understand your situation as I have been there before. But I tell myself the family, kid and wife are always my 1st priority
We can't own it all anyway. So I am only wanting 1 Tommy out of so many, 1 Little Shadow (though I may get the Cherry Shadow & Zombot from darktrick when it comes in hehe), 1 Heavy TK and 1 Dropcloth (EMGY). Lets not get carried away.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou
I read at the 3A board that an Ankou+ is on the cards. According to one of Ash's snips says it will have the same Ankou head but with a new robotic body, arms and legs. Probably the next Bambaland drop I guess.

Re: Adventure Kartel - Ankou 1/6 figure
Get your Ankou yet? I scored the orange one. My weathering was so over the top, it is a bit difficult to make out the details on my copy.
The poster/comic story seems to imply Ankou units are created to fight zomb hordes but they can get out of control as well
The smell is typical ThreeA... you'll need to let it air out for a day or so.
