Tell your local comic shop you want one,

I don't have a local comics shop, but I only paid about retail with discount and shipping from amazon.

I meant for Ravenloft, who seems to have a very helpful comic shop in his area.

I really like to buy in person because I like to inspect the paint job or cloth stitching very carefully and compare with others before I buy. Sometime the packaging really matters to me (must be pristine) so buying online unless it is unattainable in person fills me with dread.

Very helpful might be a slight exaggeration. I basically said, "look buddy I am dropping two hundred dollars on this stuff order it for me or I will head on over to so and sos." It only took a year for them to figure that out. I wanted them just to order it in the shop so I can swoop in and snatch it off the shelf rather than special order it which I can do from home.  I am all about supporting the local shops if they have something for me to buy there.

I hope Gilbert's hat fits better that Hyde's, otherwise he's gonna have to hold it.

Not sure I've ever seen a well fitting action figure hat!

I suppose if our hats were made of thick plastic, they wouldn't fit, either.

Do they even have comic shops anymore?  They all seem to be video game stores or gamer parlors nowadays...

None of my 3 shops stock figures

So I finally got my Mr Hyde out of the package this morning - holy crap does he stink! No, literally - the plastic stench nearly knocked my out of my chair! Wowza.

Smell aside, the rooftop is pretty damn sweet. Cant wait for my shop to get in the deluxe version. Now I just have to decide if I'm keeping Quasi or returning him and upgrading to the deluxe version. The only difference between the two is the gargoyle, right? Otherwise, the accessories are all the same between the two - scepter and crown?

That's what we've been told.

Actually, it does pretty much look like the original, sitting high on the head!

Looks pretty accurate to me, Jimm.

Yes, both Quasis have the cape, crown and scepter.

And yes, there are still comic shops, although my comment included specialty toy and game shops that also carry Diamond Comics products. Find your nearest at http://www.Comicshoplocator.com

You are right, it was a bad fit for the show too! Yet accurate, I stand corrected  :-X
