    Hot Toys Scarlet Witch Artisan Edition - Avengers Endgame

    I had the same feeling with that Wonder Woman HT recently made. It's impressive and looks nice, but isn't really accurate. I feel like this current generation of faux-rooted wool hair is being done because they can do it, but not because they can do it correctly. They're missing the point...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    Keep in mind, by setting up EXO-6 Nanjin managed to secure what seems to be the entire Star Trek license (from CBS and Paramount) that broadly and deeply runs across every TV show and movie, from 55 years ago all the way to the current running shows today. He even seems to have been granted some...

    Queen Studios / InArt to do sixth scale figures

    Any bets on other character figures InArt will attack next? I'm not a fan of their overlapping and improving of previous Hot Toys releases - I'd prefer they focus on untapped or underproduced licenses, even so far as clipping the Asmus LOTR releases - but that seems to be InArt's approach...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "General Discussion" 1/6 Line

    I've found Nanjin to be quite clear and relatively transparent about his approach with EXO-6 and what we, as collectors, should expect. His method of delivering his message can be cryptic and convoluted, which he even admits to, but the results always support what he promised. In the end Star...

    Kaustic Plastik / Infinite Statue 1/6 Nosferatu 100th Anniversary

    I got mine from Sideshow last Friday, 4 days ago. It seems to take longer for Infinite/Kaustic to get their own stock from Asia and they're possibly not as well set up for distribution and shipping as Sideshow is.

    Hot Toys Scarlet Witch Artisan Edition - Avengers Endgame

    Nah, honestly, I think if InArt previewed a Scarlet Witch that looked like this we'd be trashing it just as much. If not outright trashing, at least questioning it and first of all because we'd be asking how InArt jumped into the coveted HT Marvel license. We're talking about an underwhelming...

    Hot Toys Scarlet Witch Artisan Edition - Avengers Endgame

    Here's an interesting history review: the MoS body came much later and there were other new and unique bodies prior. Notwithstanding the odd bodies, like Predator or Alien figures, the first unique human body that comes to mind is the T-800 Schwarzenegger body. Over the years it served various...

    Hot Toys Scarlet Witch Artisan Edition - Avengers Endgame

    I'm a fan of Scarlet Witch and just amassed all of the previous HT versions of her a couple of months ago, and while this looks like a great addition to the collection it just isn't screaming "artisan" to me. This isn't the hero we need today :D and feels like something that simply could have...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "The Wrath of Khan" Figures

    I know some are struggling with Saavik's price of $270, but considering the regular is $200 and the coat (and undisclosed extra accessories) are $70 more the markup might not be too bad. Is it? Parted out to customizers that coat would easily list for $70 alone, or perhaps $60 at the very least...

    EXO-6 Star Trek "The Wrath of Khan" Figures

    I would have been selective and stopped with the main trio of Kirk, Spock and McCoy, but I can see how Exo-6's plan works now. Almost two years ago I thought it was strange the way they announced figures in odd priorities, but over time, as they filled out a crew (like Yoyager) the method...

    Asmus Toys Lord of the Ring Gandalf Gray

    I bought a second hat and did just that - ripped out the under-cap and removed the magnet. It didn't help at all! The hat was no better. The only other fix I imagined was to stretch the inner rim so the hat could sit lower over the figure's head, rather than just perch on top. I never had the...

    Sideshow: The Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection (1:6 figures)

    I find all of Sideshow's sculpts are caricature-like. Many of their statues and all of their 1:6 figures, oddly even including comic-inspired characters. They always have overly sharp details, too much symmetry, squarish proportions, deep set eyes, short foreheads, blocky and sharply exaggerated...

    QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

    I just got mine yesterday! Shipped and arrived within four days. Everything is great, completely mint and new in box and the electronics work just fine. The only noticeable thing was the tape that sealed the instructions book and other plastic wrapping was a little yellow and dried out (no...

    Hot Toys Anakin Skywalker DX "Artisan Edition" 1/6 Figure Revenge of the Sith

    InArt showed us what an artisan approach to 1:6 figures could be and they proved themselves capable of delivering with their first 2 figures so far. We didn't ask for artisan figures nor did we know we needed them* - InArt simply did their thing by reaching high, perfecting the art and showing...

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Gandalf 1:6

    Looks pretty great, but the eyes still bother me a bit. The tracking seems off leading to a slight cross-eyed look. I can live with it though because the sculpt is so fine and detailed. The only other thing I'm surprised by is the hat and robes look too crisp and new, almost as if they didn't...

    Hot Toys Anakin Skywalker DX "Artisan Edition" 1/6 Figure Revenge of the Sith

    I just tapped in to the queue about 3 seconds after 9am and there are already 3115 scoundrels ahead of me. The line is paused!

    Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker DX/Artisan 1/6 Scale Figure

    If this is anything like the InArt hair - which it almost certainly is because Hot Toys will have copied whatever innovation InArt made - then you won't have to style the hair at all. It's pre-styled and fixed with product to make it rigid. Rooted and natural-looking by appearance, but actually...

    Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker DX/Artisan 1/6 Scale Figure

    I'm not sure if it helped. Even with the RSVP I only got my notification 5 minutes after the link went live. By that time there were a few thousand people in the queue. It seemed like the whole Sideshow site was queued to the Joker link at that time, so anyone visiting would be added to the...

    Hot Toys The Dark Knight Joker DX/Artisan 1/6 Scale Figure

    Thirty-five minutes into this and the Artisan Edition is on waitlist. The regular Collector Edition is available, but I decided to pass on that. Not worth the trouble or expense to only get what feels like a dumbed-down version of something that was supposed to be Hot Toys' artisan piece.

    QMX Star Trek General discussion thread

    I jumped on it last night. Kept debating whether I really needed it and whether EXO-6 will just make a better version, but for the price it seemed worth it.
