I do like the podium, but all of the little mics and cords were kind of a pain to deal with (I had my own House of Pain going on over here). But yes, I'm sure that the podium and the Bible will be enjoyed by several of my other figures.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-46592376208235688272014-10-10T21:11:35.676-05:002014-10-10T21:11:35.676-05:00Excellent review!

Besides Darius Reid and Remi, the only 1/6 scale guys that I have that are taller than she is are Snoop Dog, Scottie Pippen, and Tyson (Billy doll). I guess I'll just have to get more tall guys. :)RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-88286935021522334142014-10-04T22:22:40.687-05:002014-10-04T22:22:40.687-05:00Thank you Georgia Girl!

I was excited about the possibility of using it with other figures, but I don't want to take off his head just to remove the suite, so he will get to keep that all to himself for a while. So now I have a Sideshow Mandy fatsuit for "female" characters, and this chubby suit for male characters. As far as his other accessories, I'm sure that I will find plenty of usefulness for them. :)RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-46215853412255763492014-10-04T22:17:03.535-05:002014-10-04T22:17:03.535-05:00Thank you Marta!

Ultimately though, I buy these figures to enjoy them, and that involves taking them out of the box, redressng, having them interact with other figures, etc. So that's what I'm gonna do. :)RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-86016503901498587532014-10-04T21:47:37.872-05:002014-10-04T21:47:37.872-05:00Thank you AG Lanc!

I'm really pleased with the quality of everything that came with this set (except for the flimsy piece of wood that 4 of the mics were attached to - I broke one of the mics off right away). Yep he will be playing another character in my stories, but he'll behave himself (for the most part). :) Thanks for your compliment on my male figures. I was shocked recently to see how much Darius Reid is selling for these days. And the asking prices for Tyson Billy dolls is also way up there. I'm glad that I got these guys when I did.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-4991992697769298222014-10-04T21:35:31.862-05:002014-10-04T21:35:31.862-05:00Thank you Night Owl!

He does not seem as stocky once you lifted the padding. Since I play with my collection of dolls the fact he doesnt exactly resemble MLK is an added bonus . I just could not have the good Reverend behaving common. Thanks for the post you actually changed my mind about this piece. You have a fantastic collection of male AA figures by the way. I have been searching for the AA Hot Toys True Type for quite some time now and that Enterbay Palmer sells for a handsome penny now a days on the secondary market.

If the eyes were a tiny bit further apart and a bit (not much though) wider, he would look exactly like Martin Luther King in my opinion - the rest of his face is a very good likeness for me.
