An overused mold, but a great character!

"An overused mold" I can easily see why you say this Blurrz but the mold is pretty awesome, though I think that Brakedown should have had his own mold.

I think this mold is brilliant and that it's really awesome that this mold has been used for 5 different characters with 4 unique heads and 4 of the 5 were originally lamborghinis. This well-thought out mold is a perfect example of how a little pre-planning when designing a mold can go a long ways.
I'd beg to differ that the mold is overused since only 3 of them were sold at retail, 2 of them were exclusives.

I love this mold. I think it's an ideal choice for Punch/Counterpunch. It may have been used for 5 characters, but you it's still versatile enough that give each one a pretty unique look.
My only complaint with this one is the face. They clearly cast the face in silver, would it really have been that hard to just paint the sides? I feel like an ass even nitpicking that little thing, but it looks like a lot more thought went into this than to let something like that slide.

I managed to get in on the second run of these, cost me £65 (GBP!), but was worth it. Awesome figure and the dual robot modes are almost as if this was planned from the outset. Great gallery Seibs, I had forgotten how many characters this mould had served until I saw the group shot.

Those colors don't go along very well in alt mode.

I agree. I normally love Jin's work, but this is far from his best. The heads don't look anything like they're supposed to and the colors, especially on the Punch side, seem sub par. I say that knowing that even his worst is still better than my best. In this case however I believe the TFCC version has him beat.

Yeah those heads are great. Just not for Punch or Counterpunch. I normally like his stuff but the club has him beat this time. My only issue is that the head is small. Okay, and both of mine are really loose in the legs/feet. Otherwise they did alright. I'm pleased with them. I know some industrious third party will deal with the head issue eventually anyway so my biggest issue should become moot.
