1/6 Hot Toys - TMS062 - Loki - Sylvie Collectible Figure

[medicomsucks]

She has a nurse Ratched vibe to me. I wasn't a big fan of the show anyway.

funny thing is that I think the Loki that goes with this is also awful
but most people seam to like it

 

[BACON!]

Just got Sylvie yesterday and here are my early observations:

• The shoes could have been much better. There are tons of real-fabric female combat boots on the market, and I will be getting one of those as a replacement
• Head sculpt = meh. Loki has a sort of universal expressions, and I would have more preferred to see Sylvie portrayed angrier.
• Green Enchantment Hands: cool idea, but why is there a hole in the center? Looks weird.
• I give her a 7/10 out of the box

Thanks for everyone's comments. I like the show, I like the character, but dunno, these days because of costs I have to be pretty choosy. I just didn't feel like pulling the trigger. Maybe if a good discount.

Yep, the amount of time it typically takes to get the figures in hand is lengthy, so I totally understand with the passage of time one's interest can fade or dwindle. It'd be even cooler if the figures released closer in conjunction with their respective movies/shows, but alas..

Well there's this too, but I've kinda always asked myself before a purchase how will I feel a year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now. That approach has resulted in very loose collections of favorites tied to films or shows or variants. But there's the money issue too. It was easier when figs where ~220$.

Anyone tried removing the tiara?

Okay. I bought a loose head on TA and tried to remove the tiara.
I can now state, with absolute certainty that the tiara cannot be removed. The hair and top of the head above the tiara is a separate piece. The face is one piece with a tiara hat, and the seven(At my count) hair pieces glued on top of the tiara.
Doh!
I was hoping the tiara would be removable.
If anyone’s needing a spare head for a knock down price, let me know.

Happy - she's available as part of the May24 discount 20% at the moment at Sideshow.
Ordered!

Been waiting for a discount, threw in few rewards to knock the shipping down. The show was awesome. It'll be great to get her with Loki.

20% is a great discount!

Sounds like you made out great with this figure.

Thanks! Well, I'd say good, not great (30% off would have been better ) but I'd been checking eligible sales for a while, and who can say when these things will sell out - or not.

The 20% took some of the sting out of the current higher prices and made her IMO more reasonable. She's shipped already being in stock.

Edit:
A very good figure with some nice details; think the cons are already well known. Her sleeves - a very thin soft pleather are delicate, and I would handle carefully. A shame she doesn't have a second sculpt.

Her sword, the sculpt, details, effects hands, sword are stellar. Don't know that I'd pay full price but she's an excellent pickup to go with Loki. I'm happy.

She's off gassing a bit - where I am it's hot (hate getting figs in summer) and I don't have time to work with my figs lately.
Quick cell shots -
