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

[Edub]

I'm not charging anything , as usual I said something on Facebook and a few lame brains couldn't see it was tongue in cheek to get a reaction. And I said it on Friday night yet I didn't even film the review until Saturday afternoon........ And here's me thinking that just because we collect toys there are still a few grown ups around

Oh well that's great news then cuz your reviews are the best. Thanks for clearing up the confusion Clipper

Most of us got the joke Clipper. Great review and helped me make a decision about purchasing this.

Clip's reviews rule, as usual! When Arnie's head pops off at 13:00?

Way to go HT, the vest will stain the body. So if you don't buy this figure within the next month or so, there'll be thousands of Matrix figures with discolored bodies? Brilliant.

This confuses me, what do u mean? You do know the figure comes packaged without the vest off right?

 

[ebor]

This comes shipped without the vest on right???

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Ack, I didn't watch any of the unboxing vids nor have I seen any of the in-package pics. I assumed the figure shipped with the vest on. Still no excuse for staining.

Thanks Clipper for the review
Any chance for a body comparaison with previous arnold T800 bodies?
Thanks


To avoid the stain of the body i will put a sleeveless shirt.

I usually cut up some clear plastic like from a ziploc and put it in between.

 

[CollectorGuy]

Someone suggested to me to take the vest off a while once a week

Diminishing just gave the easy solution to this problem. Also if you take the vest off periodically you risk paint rubs and creating loose joints in the shoulders.

Good idea.

Thanks for that video. The figure looks real good

I would hope the plastic doesn't react badly to the rubber body.

****ing Hot Toys.

 

[CollectorGuy]

yeah i dont know about putting plastic, wouldn't stick to body? I know ht puts plastic on some of their figures in the box, but damn if they knew about the paint rub why didnt they give us something we could do about it?

 

[CollectorGuy]

Ok now i want to know how exactly to put plastic on the figure and underneath the vest. I mean wont it have to completely cover the front and back of the figure torso? What a pain in the ass. I can't believe they design a figure like this with a rubber muscle body and then make a vest thats going to stain it when worn.

I'm wondering if it's just a small print butt covering exercise... It's either going to stain or it won't. How will periodically removing the vest help? To me what they are saying is there is a slim chance it will stain, and they know that, so if they warn you about it, they can't act suprised afterwards..

I'm hoping that's the case, really the body should be treated when painted so it can't rub off or stain too bad. If its sealed with a clear spray coat or something.

Put a white vest/shirt under the body armor looks better and is safer than any plastic.

[CollectorGuy]

a shirt? interesting idea, might do that. and theres no way the vest could stain the body through that shirt?

 

[kiwiatlarge]
