1/6 Present Toys PT-SP68 - The Narrator (Fight Club)

I'm not really sold on the likeness. I am likely not going to pay mine off...

I’ll admit when I’m wrong. Just opened my Narrator up and it’s not great but not as bad as I thought through other peoples photos. Skin tone is definitely too dark.

Best I can make it look is photo 1 looking to the side

You need to pull the head out of the socket and leave it semi dangling on top of the neckjoint to be long enough to look normal. If not, it’ll be like those initial picks with the short neck.

I’ll post photos later after I replace this HS with my shumiarts one

Thank you for sharing, I'll be paying mine off now.

Yeah looks way better with those detailed pics. The sculpt look fine to me.

Suit is still way too big and it's obvious they used the wrong body.

So, it will be a balancing act between the body size. Relative to the suit, relative to the head

Another photo of the headsculpt from Facebook. Looks pretty darn good to me as is. I wasn’t sure about picking this up until seeing Stanlore’s photos. Now my Blitzway Tyler has his alter ego.

hm, HDR pic? took all shadows out , looks strange

Yeah I think the sculpt is solid, better then any customs I have seen...

This should be good with futzing and mods,
Will know for sure this week, it's on the way!

The only thing I'd criticize is the skin color. He's a bit too tan for my taste. Apart from that the sculpt looks very good for the price...

This is a common problem with almost all 3rd party figures.

Getting a pale skin tone on a figure has 2 issues. It requires much more layers and detail to the painting process, and it requires a non standard body to match it.

It's something we have to accept for a cheaper figure.

Mine arrived late today, will post detailed review this weekend!

Thats why i said, you need to pull the head out of the socket and stick it with maybe some blutac to elongate the neck and pull down the suit (preferable tape it down at the tail to his back/ass) and it will look much better.

Yeah, its preferable you don't need to do that, but unless you sell it, if you keep it, do what you can to improve it.

I think a lot of this is from an incorrect body size.

That suit bunching is due to not having shoulders to fill out the oversized suit. So again, the suit is way too big and not fitted to the body.

So options?
Larger better body? But maybe an issue with the head size and bulk for Norton.

Smaller body? New Suit? Proportionate with the head...probably. That's en expensive mod.

But the head seems to be a winner overall, so paid for a Kit with a good headsculpt.

It's likely the only Narrator we will ever see, so to the bench with him.

Please do! I'd like to see em. I paid mine last week, right now just waiting on it to arrive.

Sadly, Tyler's glasses broke (again) so I'm gonna have to fix em before displaying the Narrator.

Ok , I am at work, I'll try to post some quick shot tomorrow!

Well well well.....

I have VERY good news.

I am not sure what is going on here with these other pictures and reviews. Right out of the box I was very pleasantly surprised. Literally all of my issues were resolved with the first look.

My figure is fantastic , especially considering the price. The suit fits fine, the body is perfectly proportionate and the sculpt is on point.

I did almost ZERO futzing on mine. This is how it came out of the box. I was in a rush to post having to goto work. But felt an obligation to my fellow FREAKS, having delayed on my promise to post this weekend. After seeing the other reviews my enthusiasm was dented. I am happy to say it's was worth getting up early to see this.

The most glaring feature issue with the other videos and reviews (the neck) is totally fine and looks great. Slight showing of the joint on mine, which is fine considering it's not short necked like these others seem to be?
I am hoping this is not a "bad batch" thing and some figures got a different body. If it's NOT that I cannot speak to why the other figures look like trash compared to mine?

The only thing off the bat (which is metal BTW, and a pun) that I saw that looked odd was his eyes seem a bit mis matched. As I said I plan on a "battle damaged" look for mine anyway, so it's not a major flaw.

Also of note , the head is FULLY seated on the body. If anything, I need to futz the suit UP a bit....

Well here is what you wanted to see, hopefully most people are getting this figure and not the one in the other posts

Ok , One edited shot....

The figure you got looks fantastic dude, fingers crossed I get mine in the same condition!

Really, it seems completely price worthy.

Yeah just got home from work and I always believe in second impressions on a figure.

Looks even better after a long day at work.

It's a great FC representation of The Narrator.

I'll get around to posing him with BW Tyler this week some time.
