1/6 Hot Toys - POTC5 - Jack Sparrow Figure (Artisan Edition + Regular) Collectible Figure

[Gipetto0812]

Yes it’s too cream in colour and the general fit is not as good as the enterbay.

I've been saying since the DX06 that the EB shirt was better.

It's sort of funny now how ppl are seeing how good the Enterybay figure is in a lot of ways compared to when it came out back in 2011. While I still agree that the the DX06 was 100% the better package for the price, the Enterbay got a lot right,too, and arguably better than the DX06.

Hat, shirt, hands, sash, coat (yes, the EB coat is better than the DX06), accurate pattern and material on the back of the vest, better likeness on the headsculpt IMO, fabric bandana, much better final paint apps and the rubber chest compared to the hard plastic, unpainted chest (at the time, DX15 and new DX have it painted) from HT.

The molded plastic belts actually look pretty good, they're just slightly underscaled. The beauty is that you don't have to worry about them falling apart in a few years.

I often wonder if I were to get another, is there's a way I can transfer the voicebox to something else. It's honestly a really fun feature IMO.

Pull from inside the head or push through the eye openings?

I would pull from the inside as to not damage the actual eye. It's pretty much just a ball and socket type joint. You'll hear an audible "pop" when they come out most likely and then a "click" once they're back in.

Thanks, I just want to be sure not to ruin something, rather be sure to repeat the steps someone else took that were successful.

Halfway there, creepy.

WoW!!!! That is one hell of an improvement. That photo looks like a living Depp.

All that from black eyes.... like a doll's eyes...

The lighter irises of the DX37/38/39 always bugged me. Nice mod.

These are stills/grabs from DMTNT where they appear almost black (same goes for the OT):

But it’s obvious they based the figure off the promo image (below) and even then they went too light imo.

Promo images from the early films have the real light brown eyes, but in the films, they’re always darker, whether that’s touched on in post production or simply because we don’t get super close ups. Either way, my brain registers them as darker brown vs light.

I believe it was said in one of the BTS features from the early films that Depp wore sunglass contacts so he wouldn't have to squint in the sun.

I think you can even see the contacts (bluish edge around his iris) in this picture that HyperDrive posted...

All the parts I have currently for the AWE Jack kitbash. Most of the MMS42, DX06 hat and DX15 neutral faceplate.

I think these items^ are the only things I’ll keep and why I bought the MMS42 set, mainly for the hat and the vest. I think I’ll prefer everything else on the DX38. I don’t know if I really need to remove the Piece of Eight tho lol, since I’ll usually always have the hat on him. And Prison Dog’s keys!? The keys that open the Pirata Codex. Always fun whenever he shows up in the movies and in AWE, “Sea turtles, mate” and at the Disney ride.

Love the DX15 neutral.

Now that I’ve seen comic_ross and now MaulFan install the DX15 eyes on the DX38 smirk sculpt, I think I’ll keep the DX38 smirk faceplate too. It enhances the likeness and fixes the issue I had with the stock light brown irises. Turns out the DX15 eyeballs are the contact lenses eyes!
