Are those the new KISS Pops? Do their heads bobble? I thought they were just static. I bought them the other week, but didn't take them out of the box.

And I never really listened to Vol 1 so I'm not that excited about Vol 2. Didn't even listen to the song Paul was on.

I don't plan on ever opening them. Same as the dolls that started coming out after the reunion. They stay in the box for the collection.

I'm a huge KISS fan for sure. Seen them many times and will see them again with the kids for the last time in November.

OK that's just great !!!! I will have to open the box of 1 bobble doll to check. But I think i will display them and keep the boxes. I know as a collector that the boxes should not be opened, but i don't intend to sell them.

NO, the artis is in the US, he ships worldwide !

Cool, how much and how big is he? Full size?

Genebaby wrote: Fri Jul 05, 2019 9:14 pm Cool, how much and how big is he? Full size?

There are 2 size 19" and 30 ". I want the 30". the price for the 30" is 225 USD + shipping. He does payment condition. I know it's not that cheap but limited collector items are expensive. I want Sammy !!!!
He has a lot of kiss stuff. He has a Vinnie lifesize bust that I want And a Paul Stanley one that I want too. He has all kiss Members bust.
I don't like everything he does, but he has a lot of interesting creations !!!!

Nice Sammy! Would make a great addition to a collection.

ok. Thank you.

I have to admit, I’d never heard of Sammy the Snake until this thread. I’m learning a ton here. He’s a stage prop? What is his history?

Have you ever wondered about the fate of Sam T. Serpent? Well wonder no more! Sammy was officially retired at the end of the Unmasked Tour. But where did he end up after that? Unfortunately his final resting spot is a landfill in Philadelphia! His last sighting was at a club in a Philly suburb called Pulsations. Pictured in the middle is Guido Basile from the tribute band Dressed To Kill NJ posing with Sam in 1985. Shortly after the club was renovated and poor Sammy was thrown in the dumpster! The interesting part of the story is that McManus Lighting did the lights for the club and they owned the Love Gun/ Alive II stage so this club had bought the lights, risers, lighted steps and the second set of cats (fat cats) from the Winter Tour, Tom and Jerry were used at Pulsations. By 1985 it was decided that interest in Kiss had waned and renovated the club!

SAMMY is back on the EOTR tour !!!!!

Very interesting! ...and amazing what people throw away sometimes, lol.

YEP, so now you know who Sammy the Serpent is. Forums are also there to share info about history !

My first album was KISS Destroyer. My parents said they really regretted buying it for me, lol. I guess I played it too loud, played too much air guitar, and started sticking my tongue out too much, lol.

Mine was Dynasty ! I bought the other albums later, because the covers were scaring me. So I started with Dynasty first, i loved it. So i bought all the albums after that. The last vynil I bought was unmasked.

I’ve actually never heard any of Unmasked (that I know of, anyway), though I think I’ve heard it was good. I do remember when it came out. I think I’ll listen to it now.

Honestly I don't like unmasked. Except 1 song : naked city

Now I buy KISS best off, or watch everything on Youtube.

Unamsked is great, Dynasty is great, I love most KISS albums, but not fond of stuff since the reunion, I can't really listen to it.

Sebastian Bach used to have the big cats that were near Peter's drums, from Destroyer/Rock n Roll Over I think. They almost got lost when his house was flooded, but I think he found them again.

Pity the original Sammy was thrown out, but the mid 80s, yeah, it was not a big time for KISS. There were fans about, but on a much smaller, and more intense scale. Someone would have loved Sammy, and if there had been an internet they could have easily found him a new home.

Yes i saw these 2 cats. I think, if I remember well that someone is making replicas of them too.

Poor Sammy, sad to end up like this. So I learned today that the one that is on stage now is not the original one.

The last Kiss cd i bought is Sonic boom. I like only 1 song. So, as I said now I buy best off. I do that for most of the bands I like. I have to buy Paul "live to win" dvd. Because i love this show, and all the songs. The quality of the videos on Youtube is not so great.

I enjoyed Paul’s “Live To Win”, but it was a really short album — total of about 30 minutes. I remember an interviewer asking about the short length, and Paul said something like that was all the time he needed to say what he wanted to say, and he didn’t like to drag out a song.

My mistake, i was not talking about the album, but about the show. The video of "I still love you" i sent to you is from that show.

Here's another song from that show



It's written live to win on the drums.

the comments about the dvd " Paul live during his solo Live To Win tour at the House Of Blues in Chicago, this dvd was never my favorite, the video quality is terrible as you can see, and in 2006 you could hear Paul's voice starting to deteriorate, and as we all know by now, Paul nowadays has had surgery on his vocal cords "

Credit to the guy for churning out music and shows at his age.

I thought Paul still sounded great on the LTW tour. A bit of a last hurrah for his vocals.

Yes I agree 100 %. Still kicking their ass with Gene at almost 70

For me he sounds great on LTW tour. This show is one of my fav. The lead guitar is just great !!!!!!
