Some how atlantis found the molds for this?
I asked about years ago. at the time they said didn't have them,
Seen this on the cultman tvs website .. Some time year this will come out..
It's okay not the best of line.. I wonder if they have brother ratfink?

[Buc Wheat]

Yes, both Boss and Rat coming soon.

Atlantis has an unpainted built up of Boss Fink With Tweedy Pie on their Facebook page. It's coming soon.

Just to clarify - Ratfink is coming too - not Brother Ratfink on a Bike.

CURIOUSITY QUESTION - what is it about the original issues of Boss Fink With Tweedy Pie and Outlaw With Robbin' Hood Fink that make them so rare and sought after?

What I can recall in one model kit book By Paul Madsen
Robbin Fink and Bossfink were the tail end of the series.
Sales were going down because of the Beatles?
Robbin Hoodfink was re-released in 1996..
A real small figure that fits in regular model car

[Aurora 484]

I knew that their release was at the end of the Fink run. Was there smaller production of both kits? Was there limited distribution?

I guess that Robbin' Hood Fink is a bit smaller than say Rat Fink. I'm not too sure how big Boss Fink is compared to Robbin' Hood Fink.

[scuzzfink85]

There about the same Boss Fink & Robbin Hoodfink...
Interest was ending.. There about 4 inches 3 inches wide?

[scuzzfink85]

I will buy one just for Bossfink figure..
Both have horrible tiny legs..
I will modify it when I get it.

One thing i noticed on atlantis facebook page how clean the bossfink is mold is?
maybe they popped out a about 600 back then and quit.?

[Aurora 484]

Just saw a video taken at this year's NNL. The guy taking the video asked the Atlantis rep when Boss Fink was coming out and the rep replied "Probably in the next month or two."

Whether he was talking literally or figuratively I don't know but hopefully it means that it will be out sooner than was thought.

[Aurora 484]

Does anyone have this kit in hand yet? A couple of questions on it?

1. Does it include the shifter column?

2. Why are the words "Tweedy Pie" not on the box?

[scuzzfink85]

No column shifter

It looks like they changed some the box art for some reason..

What the...??? No column shifter?? What happened? The column shifter is clearly visible in the photo of the mold that Atlantis showed on Facebook.

*&$%. Now I have to ponder whether I'm even going to get one.

At first glance, I can't tell what art changes have been made. Can you point out a few examples?

Thanks.

[scuzzfink85]

Just holding skull no rod attached to it..
Looking at it.. I can tell not much thought went onto it..
compared to others.

I'm not too sure what you're saying above but if I look at the Atlantis box top art, the shifter column is clearly visible.

Just saw an unboxing video on Youtube and...the shifter column IS there and it's referenced on the instruction sheet.

I'm holding out for a Brother Rat Fink. It's the only one in the series I don't have. So sad.

You might never see it as the last I heard is that the original molds are tagged "Whereabouts Unknown".

[scuzzfink85]

Mexico had there own molds...

Who knows whether or not they have Brother Rat Fink...or anything else for that matter.
