I'm a long cape fan, honestly, so if it isn't gonna be accurate, I'd prefer that they miss long rather than short. The fact that shots like this exist where I can convince myself it is accurate as well? That's just a bonus! Yeah, the HT cape gave me the ick as soon as I took the figure out of...

I think this forum has an understandable bias towards new, flashier figures because a lot of us like poring over detail, comparing reference pics, etc. In that sense, it makes sense that more people would want a new costume to analyze. Whereas on FB, it's collectors of every stripe, so people...

It often takes a side-by-side view to appreciate how far Hot Toys has come. I never thought the TFA Rey sculpt was bad -- even though it wasn't mind-blowing, either -- but as soon as TROS Rey came out, I couldn't look at the old one the same way.

The sheen may not be accurate, but it does give an appearance of dimension that the cloth bandana doesn't have right now, IMO. It may just be an artifact of the bright lighting at Secret Base, but the Artisan bandana looks very flat -- not much highlight, not much shadow. Whereas the light...

Oh, I certainly don't expect any of these to get made. Maybe Davy Jones based on the fan demand, and possibly more from InArt whenever they get around to the POTC license -- which might not be until after the series has been rebooted once or twice. I'm just saying from the perspective of who...

Yeah, surprised to see this sentiment about Will and Elizabeth. At the risk of doing what that one guy didn't want us to do and making a Star Wars comparison, Jack/Will/Elizabeth are the POTC Han/Luke/Leia. Sure, you won't catch me arguing that Barbossa, Bootstrap, Tia Dalma, etc. wouldn't make...

Barbossa would make for an incredible figure. Would also love to see someone tackle Bootstrap Bill. Will and Elizabeth are also givens.

I know myself enough to know that if I'd gotten the Artisan, I'd be arguing why it's worth it, but since I've only gotten the Deluxe, I'll argue that it's a better value. Gotta play both sides so you always come out on top. 🤣

Oooh, that's a good call. I better do the same before more people get the idea and snatch them up!

This has been my concern since the reveal, tbh. I love the inclusion of all the little details, but getting it scaled properly is a challenge. The Artisan hair looks a little poofy to my eye. But I remember the prototype Wonder Woman's hair looking a little too blown out, and I don't feel the...

I'm okay with there being three levels since I know some folks don't like/want dioramas... but then they went ahead and included the steering wheel with the Collector edition anyway. Would've made more sense to have an even cheaper Collector edition that comes with just the black base, then the...

I'm very surprised to hear Justin speak candidly, tbh. Pointing out that the bandana thing is clearly a tactic to push people towards the Artisan, calling out the lack of rooted facial hair, arguing that the Deluxe is a better value, admitting that this isn't a must-buy if one is happy with...

For stuff like SERS, authentic leather, absolutely. But the rooting can't become a standard thing, not at Hot Toys' current price or output. Look how slowly InArt's production line is coming along, and they've admitted that it's because rooting is time consuming. For the number of figures that...

FWIW, I love how my WB100 Wonder Woman's hair turned out, but that's obviously a much different style than Joker, Anakin, or Jack will need. I expect Artisan to retain its value well -- heck, that WW (not technically Artisan but close enough) is going for 2X on resale -- so my thought process...

Or, you know, you could buy the Regular edition and still get real leather for the usual price. Getting this worked up about the Artisan price when there are other, reasonably priced versions feels a bit silly, but I know the Hot Toys hate runs deep. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It was, but there's more of a clear difference between rooted and sculpted Joker, IMO. Both versions of Jack look very similar at a glance. Honestly, the bandana is more noticable at a distance than the hair.

If I'm in a generous mood, I can say that wool dreadlocks probably aren't easy to pull off, and the limited edition size merits a bit of a premium... but yeah, in terms of visual impact, the gap between sculpted (really, mixed) and rooted has never been shorter, IMO. I didn't mind paying more...

I fully admit that I'm a victim of recency bias, but this is definitely my most anticipated preorder at the moment. Great sculpt, intricate tailoring, multiple looks, and a centerpiece diorama. There aren't many other figures that have all that. The Batman/Bat-Signal set would qualify, but...

She's on thin ice, no doubt. Then again, her reaction to InArt Paul and the new HT Han Solo was, "You're getting this, right?" so she doesn't always miss. She's just dreadfully wrong this time, I'm afraid.

Showed my wife the promo pictures, and she was not impressed. Boy, won't she be surprised at what turns up on our doorstep next year... 🤣
