Maybe it's because he has no collar but his neck looks odd- like an old Timpo figure -it just looks like a round peg.- the rest of the figure looks good

Somebody at MK35 needs to take a course on marketing.
Ive seen their figures online for years but never bothered too much about them, cause the box art (or bag art in their case) made the figures appear poor to average. Last year a Swedish supplier bought in a large stock of their figures, and in all honesty the majority of the figures were excellent. I bought a few and so did most of the guys who usually sift through the stalls. After the show they were pretty much sold out.
Good box art sells models. Presentation is paramount. Most modelers donīt have the luxury of being able to browse through figures like this, and until I got the chance to see them in the flesh, I had a very diffeent opinion of MK35 figures. They need to take a leaf out of Alpine Miniaturesīs book!

Couldn't agree more. In fairness they aren't the only ones out there who have a first-class product with a fifth-rate presentation.

Alpine, do, in my opinion, lead the way in presentation of their products, others though, don't seem to see the good investment that presentation actually is...
