1/6 Hot Toys - MMS681 - Episode II: Attack of The Clones - Mace Windu

I get the feeling this is their tactic to ensure they don’t get stuck with a lot of these. Now people will hop on the waitlist out of FOMO and order the second the email hits, lol.

Yeah, Im not biting this fish hook.

This pre order only stuff on a lot of these figures is annoying. I don't wanna "buy" something with an indeterminate in stock date

You have the option to only purchase in-stock items...if you're willing to roll the dice that they'll be available when they release. The pre-order requirement of 10% down and pay in full upon shipping is a really reasonable approach to help them gauge interest and produce an appropriate amount of product. If it's something I really want, ~$25 is reasonable for me to lock in my order. If I'm on the fence about paying that now, I probably won't want or need the figure in 18 months anyway....

Out of curiosity, does anyone know who the artist for the head was?

That was exactly my plan lol. Appears to be a recast of the Nick Fury sculpt.

I got one of those when Hot Toys announced their Mace and showed the first images. I remember I was immediatly disappointed with the HT sculpt because it was off on a fundamental level and I like SLJ and Mace so much and would have loved to add him to the collection.

That Nick Fury sculpt has such a good SLJ likeness... and then we get this.

This is what bums me out.

Such simple changes that HT had already done on a few occasions…but decided nah, not this time.

This video is yet another Justin like presentation (good lord can’t people be original for once please??), but on the bright side (literally) it’s short, no narration.

So a couple of things:

this channel is either a TW channel or it’s another poor sap that got seduced by TW and are groomed to be the next Justin (as in really early reviews).

But I ain’t gonna support anything related to TW. I didn’t know this channel was sponsored by TW, so it’ll be the last video I watch of theirs.

So for early reviews, I’ll stick with MRC.

Anyways, these pics CLEARLY show how off the Mace portrait is.

I’m sorry for being so adamant about this and potentially pissing off some members I’m cool with…but I just don’t understand how anyone can get behind this figure and lie to themselves that it ‘looks close enough”. There’s NOTHING close enough here .

My ethnicity is Chinese, and normally I’d be bothered with remarks like “looks Asian”…


But yo, this mutha***** looks ASIAN.

I wish people would stop letting FOMO get the better of them. By purchasing this, you’re rewarding the clowns behind the figure. They’re absolutely taking advantage of everyone.

Holy tap dancing Christ on a stick…for every Mando Luke or OWK Vader, we get bantha poodoo like this. HT just makes it so difficult for me to ‘forgive them and move on’…but they keep doing stupid **** like this.

Not just the eyes... everything from the lips to the headshape is a major downgrade from what they already had.

They had the easiest job, just reuse the Nick Fury and remove the facial hair and eye veins. Even if he's meant to be "younger", the sculpt doesn't look younger at all, just ****.

Just pop a PF Jules head on the Mace body and you've got a tasty burger

Anyone find it strange they dont list the artist?

I don’t know if they do it anymore, but credits can be found in the box.

As played by Samuel Jackson, Jules from Pulp Fiction - one of his memorable lines has to do with eating a hamburger

All I see when I look at the HS is Bokeem Woodbine.

Man is the sculpt rough.

I was hoping he’d do a custom sculpt.

May need to buy one but it’s sure going to suck to pour another $300 into this figure between the sculpt and painting.
