1/6 Hot Toys - MMS276 - Commando: John Matrix Collectible Figure

[BruceLife]

I'll happily eat crow on this and say it looks a lot closer to the prototype there.

Of course that begs the question of why it looks so terrible in the HK blogger photographs. The jaw and eyes look completely wrong in those pics, yet they look fine in that video...

There's just so many cases of figures that just don't photograph well but look great in hand or in video. That's why it's dangerous to start cancelling pre-orders from pictures

I just don't think it looks that much like Arnold, the profile shots are laughable in the likeness department

Talking like this is "dangerous."

 

[Frank Jaeger]

I shall say no more

 

[Snake Plissken]

There was pics earlier of it in almost a profile shot and it looked horrible, this one is even worse... damn.

 

[BruceLife]

Someone feels silly haha

I do like the body though, i know a lot don't like rubber bodies but i have no problem if they look good and i think they pulled it off.

The body is alright I suppose, I just don't like how the body paint is darker than the face.

Is this your pic? If so can you do the face to face the other way around?

The body looks great.
The gear looks fantastic.
The sculpt in Clippers vid looks slightly better than what we've seen compared to all the other pics but that proto head top notch! The margin of quality between the it and the mass produced sculpt seems it should've been closer.
I would say that new marvel stuff does probably crowd out these older classic licenses and I would agree that hot toys could be more consistant if they trimmed the fat in the way of licenses.
But that leaves me wondering if terminator, aliens, predator era stuff would be the fat and they would stick with Marvel.
Frankly I'm marvelled out. None of those designs appeal to me with the exception of a mark here or there. They're just too many iconic and superior comic looks to those characters that aren't being utilized in the movies.

Loving the look of this figure and can't wait to get it. One of my most wanted for a long time. Looks like Arnie to me and I'm looking forward to taking pics of this guy.

Do you guys think this figure will look better with a custom DX10 head? I would like to see that.

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Nope.

It's funny, I was just thinking this has potential as a replacement for the DX10 head. Granted I don't have this in hand yet but I'm pretty sure the DX10 still holds the top spot for softness and weak paint apps. Plus the PERS didn't take too well.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

These aren't mine no, they are by Don Tom i think from FB

There's something wrong with his brows, I think it's the thing throwing it off the most.

[Frank Jaeger]

His brows are definitely off arnie has some straightish slug eyebrows

Even Dutch looks more like him.

When Arnie tightens his brow, it basically becomes a straight line across... I can't even tell what kind of expression is on this. Lips are wrong too.
