It looks a little cartoonish to me. Not by a lot, but maybe just a slight 10% or so which is enough to make it feel inaccurate and a bit off-putting. There's definitely some artistic interpretation of the character and when I say "cartoonish" I mean in a slight Anime/Manga way, which is often...

It might very well work and there are probably a half-dozen or more other similar funding models, but you know "he" (who will not be named) will not do that. The man has already spoken about his disdain for crowd-sourcing, or anything that tries to fund a company's projects from the end-buyer...

This is interesting. I would have guessed this to be unmistakable AI, but I'll take your word for it and believe you by trusting your expertise in this kind of work. I've done a lot of Photoshop re-touching too, but not to this degree. There are things here that look intentional and intelligent...

They're not large paragraphs. Go big or go home, maybe! Now I can go big on a critique of TLDR, the most infuriating and insufferable of lazy online abbreviations in recent years. A cop-out and conscious choice for loss from lack of engagement is something I don't like. But that's a personal...

Looking at the video I'd say this turned out quite nice. Considering AUG is a relatively unknown company with hardly any track record, this Stillsuit Paul figure turned out to be as good as the promo pics, if not somewhat better. "Better" being less of a qualitative assessment and more of a...

Have you all received your Saavik orders? I paid my invoice almost a week ago, but haven't gotten a fulfillment/shipping update yet. Usually EXO-6 is quite swift about shipping, but this is slow.

Looks more like a stoned Zooey Deschanel. I joke, it's fine, but it really does look a little bit like Zooey Deschanel.

Just buy what you like and want and don't worry about what their possible tactics might be. I doubt there's really any clever tactical machinations at work here - this is just a limited edition in small numbers, and no different than how they sold TMP Kirk and Spock a couple of years ago. No...

Cage Spock is up for preorder on Sideshow now. Possibly other seller sites too, but I haven't looked. When the number is so small I wonder how they allocate an edition of 500 to various sellers. Is it 20-50 units each with the majority sold through their own site?

Yup! Ordered Cage Spock within 5 minutes of getting the notification. Didn't see that one coming. Now I wonder if I should have bought two to display with and without the welder's jacket. The figure looks like doodie in these early photos, but I trust it will improve greatly upon release.

I feel like they've modelled Indy's likeness off the Drew Struzman poster art, so it's something of a three-dimensional artistic interpretation of a two-dimensional artistic interpretation, twice removed from the source, hence the cartoonish caricature quality. Harrison Ford's brows were not so...

I wonder how many of these will be canceled. It wouldn't be the first time they;ve teased then bailed. Two years from now Deadpool will be so 2024 and HT will have moved on to some other hot properties.

Funny thing is, about 10 years ago when I got my Hot Toys '89 Batmobile, the first really impulsive thought I had was to spray paint it to give it some kind of illusion of finish that was better than the awful model kit kind of raw plastic they left it with. I didn't, and chickened out of the...

Dude looks so completely baked here.

Frank Miller's Dark Knight version of Batman is one that never really comes together well in a three-dimensional figure form*. There's always something off and it's because Miller's art was all over the place, with Batman's size/scale and proportions constantly changing throughout the Dark...

That's not actually true. The Joker screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and was met with standing ovations and huge press/media accolades, with many predictions of an Oscar nomination for Phoenix. Film critics were all over this one and getting behind it, and this was months...

Very cute! It's all too easy to forget how much Star Wars derailed from the Original Trilogy during the 80s with the Droids and Ewoks shows. This Skeleton Crew seems very much in the same spirit of 80s Star Wars and therefore feels very fitting. I still hate it - and I hated Droids and Ewoks...

I really want the batwing cape, and think it's quite an essential extra, but don't like having to go all-in for the useless extras that constitute much of the price hike. The clock and stairs (really, a set of stairs, of all things?) will never get any display use. They made this decision...

I had $140 in Sideshow points (with a portion due to expire next week) so I dumped them all into the Phantom, just last night, and now they tease this! THIS!!! I may need to cancel the Phantom and divert the funds to THIS!

I think the sculpted hair looks better than the rooted. They really messed up the rooting hairline making it look unnatural, almost like a toupée tacked onto the top of the head. Having said that, as you mentioned, the sculpted hair appears to be lacking detail. I just got my Aragorn (with...
