youbastards Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Rob, have you seen this? Are these bootlegs being sold by Disney? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373625945888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Not bootlegs ,official Disney merchandise They aren't too special IMHO but somebody here might be interested in the tiger https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Disney_Adventurers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Are the molds the same as Kubricks though? They look pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I'd say they were similar in respect of no limb-joints . I think the heads are longer & the legs are shorter,the hands are different & there are no tell-tale holes on the top of the feet. The Disney kubricks (7 waves ) had kubrick style feet,legs,arms & hands ,most everything else is unique moulded heads ,bodies etc. & look nothing like typical kubricks. These Adventurer figures are perhaps what many people think of as 'typical kubricks' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 They look close enough to the untrained eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Just when I was convinced that they were dead , along comes a new kubrick ..or two ! "The Crow" seems to be available in 100% & the spectacular 1000% size . I have just one of the 1000% size kubricks which incidentally & inadvertently my very best toy investment . Mine is the Andy Warhol 1000% ....a bizarre 'toy' which is completely ....er...bizarre ! Anyway 'The Crow' is the first new kubrick in some time & the 'normal' size issue is prized at about $80+ !!!! One kubrick $80 ....how many nutcases would pay that ? The 1000% is another bizarre toy & I must not buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I was surprised to see "The Usual Suspects" Kubricks on eBay the other day. Definitely an odd license to pursue. I seem to recall Blair Witch Kubricks as well. Any other surprising IP they've tackled that you know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 So many licences ....odd ones ? To-Fu has to be the oddest but there are many odd anime licenses. Fairly odd................... Beatles , Neon Genesis, Moomin, Ponkikis,Rody Gymnic = strange ........... there're many other 'good' one's : Snoopy,Smurfs,Spawn,Woody Woodpecker,Tron ......& of course lesser known licences like Star Wars , Planet of the Apes,Metal Gear Solid ,Lost,Lupin,Harry Potter & Toy Story which would make shit Minimates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Ah Moomin? I used to work with a lot of Finnish people, that takes me back. Star Wars... sounds familiar. Was that the cheap knock-off of Battle Beyond the Stars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I've just ordered the latest Kubrick figures which are a standard size (100%) & a 400% 'Alfred Hitchcock '. I can't get too excited by them because ,TBQH ,they look extremely weird ....even for kubricks ! They look more like Bearbricks 'bodywise' with Hitchcock stylised heads.

minimateship Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 That's so cool BHM, always great to hear your updates on the wider block figure world, & trust you to order in both sizes 😛 ...it's cool to see that much of recent Kubrick Kontent has been minimalist releases in those scales. i wonder if you mess with bearbricks very much? i notice the larger body versions of those seem particularly popular/chic, and i'd be interested to know if any stood out to an aficionado such as yourself a smaller kubrick happening here, as i have managed to get my hands on BOTH The Fake and The Trick Kubricks, with baggies included (i'm sure a completionist like you can appreciate that :p) from Joycon circa 2001 i believe? I've just started trying to get a look at your latest acquisition online; adding Hitchcock to Kubrick online compounds the usual directorial diversion when googling! we can only hope for Spielberg, Tarantino, Michael Bay to round out the set... and of course, a Stanley Kubrick Medicom Kubrick 😛 that would be an epic wrap party indeed one might say, an epic rap battle for the history books Hope your Hitchcocks Present soon mate!

buttheadsmate Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Bearbricks ? You just have to admire the amount of licences that they have covered which is mind-boggling but they are visually horrendous IMHO. Fake & trick ....they are the ones with the clock/meters on their faces /chests I recall ? The irony of Hitchcock kubricks wasn't lost on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I have these Kubricks, but I'm not sure what license they are from. The stamp on the back of the leg says 2006 Protection System, but a Google search of that doesn't come up with anything useful. Any ideas?

buttheadsmate Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Luke, I now recall you showing me these before & I was stumped then . There are still kubricks that appear online (in Japan) that are new to me , generally they are promos & generally they are still bagged so that makes it easier to verify them as genuine kubricks.My gut feeling is that these are not kubrick promos & I am fairly certain they are not mainstream. Are there peg holes on the bottom of the feet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimateship Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 the mystery continues 😮 i concur on be@rbricks looking a bit abysmal and yes indeed, the 'trick' and the 'fake' do indeed have the clocks and gauges and rivets and meters: i fancied their look as a little like retro robots, not realising their promo nature til i was quids in 😛 does anyone have much experience with minority report kubricks? i've been trying to assemble one of the 'spiders' from that line but i can't seem to get the balls into the joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 There's a new Kubrick Out of the blue there's a new Star Wars Rogue One Vader which is a 'Not for sale' item .....which means that they are for sale but only on the secondary market For anybody that is interested it seems that there are still kubricks being released .....at a rate of one per annum !!

SCW Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 He looks great too. Though I assume it's mostly a re-release with the red lenses. I still dig a lot of Kubricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I have owned a few in my day, including some Be@rbricks and a few Minority Report figures, including my one big pull, the chase "wife with bag of eyeballs" figure. The closest thing I have to a Kubrick now is a knockoff 5-inch Jack-o-Lantern-headed vinyl bear which says "Trick OF Treat" on its chest. It seems to be a knock-off of a highly sought-after OFFICIAL 400% Be@rbrick. I will probably never get rid of it, if only for the typo.

SCW Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I have the Rocketeer on my desk. I'm still bummed that DST never gave us a Rocketeer pack when they were doing stuff with the license. That would have been great as a VHS style box set with Rocketeer, Jenny, Peevy, Sinclair and Lothar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
