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

[HAL9000.]

I can’t believe they didn’t provide any thumbs-up gloves.

My Whatney is still negotiating with customs...

Meanwhile, no review, no Breda, no in hand pics...

 

[HAL9000.]

In that case, Breda is dead to me.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Breda....? Where -- are -- you -- ?

A few pics from FB. No shots of the heads yet, but we do get one of his ass for some reason. Lol

From ebay...a few days ago. I think it's way better than the one with the helmet. Not a prototype level, but likeness is good IMHO

May not be HTs quality, but it’s looking pretty damn good.
Very much looking forward to receiving mine - quite the unique and different figure from the usual and over-exposed Marvel/DC and Star Wars figures being pumped out continuously.

Whats the rope there on his side, an extra in the box not shown or something added by the photographer? Like it.

Yo, @Wor-Gar

From this first shot, it looks like they actually added the ribbing to make it seem like panels! OR, like you said, there's a very good chance those are indeed individual panels glued on because they seem to have different textures, with some reflecting light. It's confusing because the front shots show ribbing, but the back looks printed.

I'm stunned, if that's true. WAY better than I expected. Some okay weathering there too. EDIT- Looks like the photographer added the weathering.

The sculpts don't do it for me. Really poor, IMO. But likenesses are always so subjective.

The helmet looks BAD. Ggggrrrr. Hardest part to fix.

Shelf presence will be huge with this, the clean sculpt looks just as good as anything on ebay....

Great Job premier, right up there with Immortan Joe.

Helmeted its gonna look really amazing.

 

[Antarion]

Thinking...

I want the helmet, the breast plate and the "backpack" but don't care for anything else. Waiting for ebay or getting this figure as a whole mmh

 

[FlyAndFight]

Overall, it looks stunning.

As HAL9000, the helmet is the weakest point. Not sure on the accuracy of the shape yet, but the gold shield hurts the helmet. If it was smoother and glossier, capturing the glass-like look of a real shield, it would definitely improve the overall look of the helmet. A good example that comes to mind is the look of a Christmas tree ornament.

I was kind of on the fence with one, but it does look pretty decent, if not perfect. Definitely better than there other Watney figure I have.

That's not my biggest issue with the helmet. From the images, the shape is way off with that MASSIVE gap between the glass and visor.

Promo/replica made by FBFX, using same moulds but cheaper materials:

Screen used via Adam Savage:

A very nice replica made by Kiwimaddog:

Scaling is a bit off, but still good.

Lens distortion makes them look different, but I'm not holding out much hope for the Premier one.

Where did that shot come from? No other pics?

 

[Antarion]

I also dont see an awesome figure here. This is a typical below 200 bucks figure. It is nice but nothing that gets me tptally excited.
