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

[Smiley Inc.]

In regards to peeling.

It's a mixture of both the skin and the camo - it's mainly the skin, leaving a lighter shade behind. And the black camo is part of the skin tone paint job. I feel the more it's touched or brushed against the fabric, the worse it's going to get. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this damage from spreading? Maybe a thin coat of sealer or something. Shouldn't have to resort to such means though...

OK **** this figure, im not getting this at all now. HT has screwed me out of another childhood/grail figure with their bullshyt and bad QC.

firing HT rubber engineers

 

[Rambler]

Yeah, this peeling crap is a no go for me. I'm passing on this guy even at a discount.

 

[Snake Plissken]

They'll definitely **** up Dutch 2.0.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I'm still in but only at a big discount. It's a real shame that it turned out this way.

Now my attention turns to Han Solo. Must continue to resist...

I'm disappointed with this fig.
But what you're predicting Sir, will flat out cause me to blow up a small country predator style in anger and defeat.

That's one they NEED to get right!!

 

[ebor]

Yup, I wanted this but not for $250 USD and a crap HS and peeling body. NOPE!

They'll definitely **** up Dutch 2.0.

as somebody said, we won't see a good Schwarzenegger sculpt from HT until EB do it first.

I want a high end accurate Dutch as well, probably more than Matrix... but at this point I guess I'll never own Matrix since I'm not buying something with such an ugly head and a flaky body.

I haven't been impressed with their two attempts to say the least.

I wish I had known about the peeling before I reordered with a coupon and paid the deposit last week. I've been busy and haven't been in the forum much so I just found out about the latest QC fiasco. No way am I buying a $250 figure that is peeling immediately out of the box. Seriously wtf Hot Toys??

You mean Hot Toys 'latest' 2 attempts? Or Enterbay's 2 attempts? Enterbay's clean T-800 isn't great but their BD one is incredible. That Scuderia fella pretty much nailed it on his first go and yet was never given a shot to perfect a semi-BD sculpt or a clean version. Meanwhile, at Hot Toys.....

I would like to see this as well.

My last flex payment is coming up and I'm kind of dreading it now.

I took the words right out of my mouth.

Jeez, after a look around the customs section and other unlicensed Arnie figures in the general section here, seems like no one is really able to nail Arnie's likeness down in this scale. Hot Toys, unfortunately, really is the best. At painting too.

 

[Preshea]

Hot toys can nail his likeness. The proto type showed that. They can just really **** it up too.
I want that proto head quality!
....For a perfect Dutch 2.0
With a perfect non rubber body....
In a perfect world....
(Sigh)

One person making a comment about it = global spread.

Look, it doesn't sound good, but it depends on what you want to do with your figure... I have no interest in him being an expensive 'Action Man'... he is posed WITH vest on (vest stain isn't an issue) without strain on the arms (hopefully rubber cracking isn't an issue), and won't be moved or played with (see previous)...
