Darkboys and Darkgirls, The big time has come... I was waiting this kind of masterwork from 1991... In few words, I've been waiting it for a whole life: www.sotatoys.com/prod_nowplaying.htm SOTA TOYS rules! The very first official DARKMAN Action Figure in the whole fuc*ing world. It looks like a sculpture too. It's beautiful. Very beautiful. Wonderful. Marvellous. Too much great to be real. Too bad they chose to reproduce the Arnold Vosloo-type black coat and not the original Liam Neeson-type dark blue one. Well, it's Darkman, it's him, and that's what really matters. We don't need Todd McFarlane (who turned out being a real a**hole, because he realized an ARMY OF DARKNESS set and chose to sim'ly ignore Darkman). November 2004. I bet it will be a success! The Cult-Power of the Darkman is growing up... year by year...slowly growing up...

I got it. Two of them actually; one to open, one to keep in package. It's freakin' AWESOME. He has alternate hands (black gloves and bandages), so that you can completely re-create the movie poster or have him looking more like he did in the movie, and a removable hat. I kinda wish I'd bought a third so i could paint it like the Darkman in our fanfilm, with the white shirt and brown hat.

Well, it's great to see the love here!
In case you don't know, we missed the Fall 2004 release of the Now Playing Series 1, but it did get released in February 2005
Not only is the figure available through the SOTA Toys website, but also through stores like Spencers, Suncoast, Hastings and Tower Records(which has its OWN exclusive version here-http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=3225980). You can also check out online stores like Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore.com.
The mini-bust of Darkman will be released this summer in July/August.
If you have any questions, I 'll see if I can get and anser for you when I next stop by.
Thanks. Andrew@SOTA andrew@sotatoys.com

Andrew,
You did such a terrific job in bringing one of the greatest action figures out of there. DARKMAN should be happy!
I wish sales'll be higher than the sky, so UNIVERSAL would finally realize that DARKMAN *STILL* gets a consistent "fan following". That might push the company to realize more and more licensed products about the most frightening hero ever been! (a new movie?).
I'm proud you posted here. Really.
Many thanks.

You're all welcome.
We're pretty proud of all our work and think the line came our even better than we could have hoped.
Darkman stands above me on my computer and stand tall.
Now we wait for the mini-bust to arrive.

On E-BAY I've seen a "WHITE sleeve" version of the DARKMAN, I presume that's when we want "to play" to the last night on STRACK's building, isn't it?

The one with the whiter shirt comes with a third head with partial bandaging.

Well, I eventually found one. Maybe a few days after I made that first post. I've keep the Figure right next to my computer ever since. I still even have the package.
Is the one with the White Shirt only available at Tower Records. I thought I read somewhere that it was
