I purchased a Series 8 bag and ended up with Sandman. I was impressed with the sculpting of the tiny figure. The swirling sand that takes the place of his legs is a nice touch, as is the enlarged fist and mace. As you can see the figure is cast in a translucent plastic, accented with gold glitter inside to replicate the sand look. There aren't any paint apps on this figure and that's probably wise as it looks good as-is. I believe this figure first debuted in Series 3 and was cast in a solid tan color plastic.
I was tempted to grab a few others, but at a suggested retail price of $2.99 each I decided my money was better spent on other things.
I'm not a fan of the blind bags, but that sure is a good looking figure!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks better than the first Sandman figure released...the glitter included in the translucent plastic really helped complete the sand look.
DeleteI could see myself lining up my podium with these in my classroom... but the price seems a little steep. I'd probably be more likely to buy them if they were sitting at Dollar Tree.
ReplyDeleteThey did hit clearance at many stores as I was buying them up for my brother whenever I saw them. $2 would have been fine, but $2.50 or $3 was too much for me to justify purchasing more than one.
DeleteWow, good on you for recognizing who that was. I stared and squinted at it and couldn't figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI agree, they are very cool and I have a few on my desk at work. I just can't get past the price point!
