1/6 Present Toys PT-SP68 - The Narrator (Fight Club)

[darth dennis]

Looks good imo, I'm wondering if the likeness feels better with the glasses on.
Also is the neck that short or you pushed the headsculpt too much?

I didn't push in the head sculpt at all so that's how it came out of the box. I haven't really futzed anything yet so will probably get a better look when I spend a bit more time on it.

The suit looks HUGE on that body

Yeah it does. I need to re-watch the movie to see if they're trying to convey the somewhat disheveled look Norton has...or if they just missed the boat on tailoring...

To me, the tailoring seems accurate.

I think they missed on the headsculpt painting. But that's something we could've expected since we saw the prototype. Since it's definitely a modified recast from Sensation Matt, you can use his work as a reference to get this one repainted.

Yeah but Norton has a neck there , could be lens distortion, but that suit looks 2x too big, seems like his disappearing into it.

I think he just needs to pull it up, saw other pics at OSK FB group and it seems the lenght it's ok.

Just dropping pics here (copied from Onesixthkit)

Looks better there. But the suit is definitely the wrong size.

Never expected to have a perfect fit on any 3rd party figure though, so work would alway be needed.

Looks like it could be a decent base to start with and modify.

 

[xipotec]

The head sculpt looks very solid, some tweaks to it should be a winner

 

[xipotec]

Let see more pics guys!

The head sculpt is a let down. Adding sunglasses and bruises won't save it.. it just doesn't look like him.
Probably the first Present Toys ordered that is a let down. Looks like a blend of a young John Cusack with a tiny bit of Norton.

Oh well.. luckily already own a Shumiarts HS i bought a few years ago. The tie I'm using is inaccurate, so i'll switch it out. At least this comes with the Soap accessory, and i'll plug another HS on this suit and body instead. No biggie.

What does he look like without the jacket?

Got mine today, not too bad.

I normally always give a natural light first impression of a figure straight out of the box on here so here ya go.

This time instead of just using my iphone I took 2 quick shots with my R5 with a 50mm lens for comparison since iphone shots normally tend to make figures look a bit wonky/warped since they use a more wide angled lens. Unfortunately the R5 shots are a bit blurry and extremely shallow in depth of field since I just grabbed my camera quick with no tripod in real low light since I'm only using a window for light and the place I'm currently living is pretty dark inside with horrendous color paint. But I figured I'd give a quick comparison anyway. Maybe next time I'll do a setup with a tripod.

Impressions: Pretty decent release. Cheap suit, shirt, and tie but as long as you pull the suit down and adjust it a bit it doesn't look bad like it does out of the box where the suit tends to creep up on the shoulders and neck.

Ankles are quite loose but the rest of the body seems okay even if it's pretty cheap. Hands are cheap poorly painted standard affair for a unlicensed

The sculpt is one solid piece so no seam at the neck/chin line; but it really limits posing and makes him look goofy if you push the head forward/back or tilted side to side. He's a bit too tan and the paint is basic and the likeness comes and goes depending on the light and angle but its good enough for the price imo. Glasses are a metal like material and the lenses are just solid black so they can look a bit cheap close up.

I'm happier than I thought I'd be originally but would prefer a more beat up look on him with some bruising and cuts.

iphone:

R5 with 50mm (blurry, shallow dof. Colder white balance):

Thanks for those pics!

Definitely as I suspected. Looks workable. That's suit is huge and totally disproportionate to the head and body.

Obvious once you look at the lapels and shoulders.

Paint is about what is expected. But it's not like we are going to get a better setup at this price.
I will enjoy the challange of making this the best of what it ca be,.

Looks fine...it's the expression...nothing there.

I’ll admit when I’m wrong. Just opened my Narrator up and it’s not great but not as bad as I thought through other peoples photos. Skin tone is definitely too dark.

Best I can make it look is photo 1 looking to the side

You need to pull the head out of the socket and leave it semi dangling on top of the neckjoint to be long enough to look normal. If not, it’ll be like those initial picks with the short neck.

I’ll post photos later after I replace this HS with my shumiarts one

Bob has b!tch ****

Oh one more thing with the suit. It looks better if you pull it down from the back. The collar goes down and looks better fitting and natural. But problem is it keeps popping back up. So I used some double sided tape and just taped his suit tail to his back to get it down.

 

[OneSixFix]

thx for the pics! I don't know, i was hoping for something a bit better. Looks kinda like "deer in headlights stare to me" i might go fo a custom head in the future. Or Blitzway makes a 2.0 of their Tyler and offers a narrator with it? :-D
