1/6 Hot Toys - MMS194 - The Expendables 2: Barney Ross Collectible Figure

[Bo Shrek]

I wonder why HT decided to make his pupils so far apart. The eye expression looks forced rather than natural. Anyway I saw this figures at my local hobby store displayed. If nothing new is reveiled in the next several months that I find interesting I might buy Barney. Partly because it is a cool figure and partly because I might be going through withdrawals.

Man paramoremcr88 you pics are really upping my anticipation for him. I could get him for Monday but I'm trying to hold off until the start of next month.

Thanks Sidious! You won't be disappointed when you get him, especially if it's for a great price, mine was £139 new. 2 outfits, lodes of accessories etc, you can't go wrong.

Yeah £140 is around the price I will be getting him for. He really is a fantastic figure and comes packed for a great price.

Fantastic photos that should help sell this figure to anybody on the fence Nice job paramoremcr88

 

[juanca33]

nice pics. But the logo of the beret should go on the far left just on top of the eyebrow.

 

[Sidious-66]

I managed to get this guy even cheaper from a seller via eBay UK, all sealed up and brand new. I managed to save over twenty notes so I used that money to get the knife that came with the original Barney Ross.

I should have him by mid week.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Congrats man

 

[The Chev]

Ok, How do I put his shirts on? Please don't tell me I have to take the arms off.

It would be nice if the instructions information in it.

 

[Sidious-66]

Congrats man

Cheers buddy. I should have him on Tuesday. I think I will try and hunt down some of the stuff that came with the original release except for the knife.

@Chev - Is it difficult buddy?

 

[The Chev]

No, I just didn't know cause I've never had to dress a figure like this before. Once Deathasylum told me how to do it is was pretty easy, but I'm not going to be in a rush to change his clothes anytime soon.

Oh I see. What are your overall impressions of him so far Chev?

 

[Sidious-66]

I got this guy first thing this morning and now I have some free time I have had a chance to look over him and he is great but like yourself Chev I'm having a real hard time with his clothes.

Could you please help me out?

Pop the hs off with the arms up to put on the black T. Start with putting the arms in the sleeves first and then slowly bring the shirt down without ripping it, while doing one shoulder at a time. I went feet first for the long sleeve shirt by unzipping the shirt half way and feeding the legs through until you get to the arms and then placing them into the sleeves. Just make sure to never unzip the long sleeve shirt all the way cause it's a bi*ch to get back together

 

[tblackett]

Got mine for $165 shipped, which I'm pretty pleased about. Really like the figure, though it's annoying they were too cheap to send an extra pair of ankle posts to go with the second pair of shoes (and stupidly, I ordered an extra pair off eBay before thinking to check my other figures for spares - randomly, my Captain America: First Avenger had a spare pair).

It's also a shame they didn't include the knife and necklaces from the first set, but the accessories they did include are all really cool - I have the very first MMS, the Terminator Kyle Reese, and it's interesting to compare the two see how they've progressed in terms of military style kit.

I managed to get it on buddy but it sure was a ball buster.

I stupidly pulled the vest apart from one side and then sealed it up. Dam that was a nightmare and took me back to Banes outfit which was also a pain in the ***.

I zipped down the ling sleeve t-shirt too but I must say that it wasn't to bad getting it zipped back up.

I will take your advice for the tactical vest from now on Death should I ever change the clothes.

The first Ross vest is like that and a major pain in the a$$. Glad they fixed that with a zipper on this version. It saves a good 30 minutes of your life this way

 

[manolis]

in this secont version the zipper of the vest work??
becose I was thinking to put it from the legs up!like the first realese!

More than a pain in the *** than this one?

I managed to bust one of those little things that the thread goes through on the side of the zipper. I think he will stay 'tactical' for a while.

manolis the vest zipper does work but I don't think your idea would work.

PS - Hope to get a few pics of him up tomorrow.
