1/6 Premier Toys - PT-0006 The Martian Version 2 (Deluxe Edition)

[Marine Boy]

The battery pack is only 3V, so no resistor needed.

Well... which is it?

I explained it doesn't need a resistor in my second post when I realised it takes two 1.5V batteries.

Wor:

Not bad. Not much to add than what had been said here before. Had a few anticipated QC issues. I ultimately paid a little more than I wanted to for this because I had FOMO and went with Ekia hobbies despite my existing PO overseas. I like the sculpts in person much more than in photos. Honestly the bearded sculpt would be much improved with some repainted eyes. Matt looks less like himself with a beard in real life anyways. With Starfield having launched this weekend it was a fitting arrival.

All these darker, less blown out pictures, look amazing. The complexity of the suit really make this figure dynamic to look at.

This is far from movie accurate, and I am definitely not a model maker, but I wanted to make a display for Watney that would fit in my cabinet.

Do not undersell yourself. This looks phenomenal. If only I had this kind of skill but I don’t know where to start.

Did you change the body?

 

[Pizza]

No ;-)

Very nice figure. Looks pretty dang cool on display. Glue joints have failed on all three clasps on the chest gear but an easy fix.

 

[Bearded_Mayhem]

where did you get the stand?

This may be deleted soon by a mod but I make those stands.

 

[Splinter]

@Cocoboloboy Curious, why would it be deleted by a mod?

The pics of this have been phenomenal, what a great looking spaceman. Picked this up and really excited about getting it.

Makes me really wish some company would do figures from Prospect, which I highly recommend for fans of old school practical sci fi work.

Managed to grab one last minute lol.
But the joy was spoiled by 2 things.
The led cord from the back chest armor is totally screwed (the 2 pins that inserts in the helmet detached from the cable, maybe resoldering them would work).
I just noticed my front chest armor is missing an insignia...
Annoying...

Overall it's a cool figure, would have preference all the suit be fabric without the rubbery parts. I have swapped the body for a slim hot toys one with a fat suit, better proportion and fills the suit better (even if he gets skinnier lol). I will orange elastic strips for the elbow pads and forearm computer too.

Bummer about the cord and insignia. I’d like to see pics of the body swap.

Thanks.
There you go.
