I think for me the head has way to much of a plastic doll look to it, making it incredibly hard to take good pics of.
My tie is also alot longer than the ones I've seen. It's not a awful figure but it needs alot of work!

The sculpt is definitely soft. It lost some detail in production. The paint doesn't help. It looks better with shadows. It's very much a caricature of Pegg. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I would agree with Godfather, it needs work.

Im not sure how excited I can get about a figure that will presumably be produced by YanToys while you’re currently strongly criticising their most recent product.
Hopefully, whatever you’re working on, you can affect some positive change in the production process to minimise any sculpt softening, sloppy paint, poor tailoring, and qc issues.

I am very happy with mine! Apart from the horrendous elbow joints. I have plenty of other third party figures with softer sculpts, I can accept it.
Only problem is mine came without the nametag. Where was it supposed to be in the box?

It's in the bag with the records. I thought mine was missing too.
Bag with the jacket is where mine was.

Interesting.
There is no place for the bags. Just thrown in at the bottom tray with the stand.

Unless mine is inside one of the records, it is properly missing.

I've been wanting Shaun (and Ed) in the collection for a long time. Sideshows old releases were dated and honestly never really looked all that great. And I know there was a custom set done of these two, but some characters, while I want in the collection, just don't justify the custom price tag so this was a sweet spot deal in my opinion!
Having him in hand, it's a decent release, but definitely room for some improvements....sculpt/Paint is really soft, but likeness of Simon Pegg is there. I think with a repaint this would be an amazing sculpt. The clothing, also could be tighter, stitching etc. But for the price I can work with it. I'll be doing some more futzing and modding to the clothes to get them to lay more natural.
The elbows are the biggest eyesore, for me 1:6 standards are to push towards realism and what worse way to lose that by having exposed elbow joints like these. If you can Swap the arms to seamless then it would look x10 better.
Finally the accessories are where this guy shines! He's loaded with them! And they are pretty great!
Overall he's maybe lower than average. Figure if
you are graded him based on Hot Toys standards. Maybe even a bit weaker than Sideshow standards. BUT if you are a fan of this ZomCom there's not many options out there available. Three that I've mentioned. One is dated (SS) one is Expensive (Custom Set) and this happy medium, which with work could potentially shine.

Obligatory question. What body did you use? Or did you just swap the arms? I noticed there's padding in the torso area, but I haven't found a picture of the body online.

Swapped the arms with the Asmus Toys Ash Williams. Had to do shoulder surgery with three dremel to get the stock disc's to fit the shoulders of the arms.

Any news on Ed’s release?

I waited until Ed arrived before opening the pair. They’re obviously not brilliant figures that one would stare at for hours to admire the finer details but they do exactly what I was hoping for in portraying the characters rather well.
I bought a 1/6 sofa immediately after Shaun was announced because I knew exactly how I wanted to display the pair; nothing heroic, dynamic or cool- just a pair of chums chilling with a cornetto and a pint, enjoying some PlayStation together.
Ed as a gormless zombie and Shaun softly mocking him through mimicry is a perfect testament to their enduring friendship after the events of the movie.
I gave Shaun some socks made from the discarded under suit from my Geonosis Arena Padme Amidala.
Ed would benefit slightly from some as well but I’d want a more accurate pair for him.

Nice one! It really does remind me of the Bob and Doug McKenzie figures that McFarlane did many years ago. It stands to reason that Simon would have this figure, he's as big a geek for this stuff as we are, though I doubt he paid for his.
I'm still happy with my NECA Shaun, though I never picked up the Ed and really should at some point. Some of Shaun's accessories have gone AWOL, but, I think they're just buried in the immediate vicinity of where I've put him.
