With NECA's lousy track record with articulated figures, I was skeptical of purchasing this Dead Space exclusive figure.  I'd seen the 2-up prototypes of the two "regular" Isaac Clarkes (the "non-bloody" and "bloody" versions) from the photos of San... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~491699670660 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:07:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_491699670660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470653243012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author leer83 -

For the record, this figure was produced by Kenner and released in 1998.  As you probably know, Darth Vader is one classic Star Wars hero/villain who will keep reappearing in plastic form.  (If my memory serves me correct) I believe this figure... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470555856516 Sat, 16 May 2009 00:57:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470555856516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470521974404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author leer83 -
