Im watching Metalocalypse and crackin the hell up right now. Why cant a company put out an Adult Swim line and do it right? Venture Bros, Aqua Teen, Metalocaplypse, Robot Chicken, etc.

Kid Robot did some small figures, and they did have Aqua Teen and Birdman figures a few years back that didn't sell too well (although I loved them especially Mega Meatwad). At SDCC they also had a Metalocalypse boxset but with a hefty pricetag of $85.

Kidrobots lineup is like 2 inches tall, Palisades were cool, but your right they didnt sell well, Id say its partly due to character choices. Seems like the only one that sold in my area was Shake. I doubt Shocker will ever put those Dethklok figures out.

Yeah, I picked up the Palisades one when they went on clearance. The Shake one was the best, and the rest were meh.

The Shocker Dethklok set was released at SDCC and was limited to 500. I really wish I had the cash to get it.

I would get it but I have no faith in that company at all. They got the license for Dethklok but have made some fugly stuff that they will probly never get out into stores. This is a pic of a SDCC exclusive that someone bought from them. Why wouldnt they give them a little articulation and an instrument or just pose them with an instrument already? Check out the bumpy sculpt and even worse paint apps.

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. If they included something like instruments then I'd buy them in a second, but I'm not going to pay $85 for 5 sub-par figures.

Maybe that Murderface in the picture is supposed to have his band makeup on. :p :D
