Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

Wait, if this Selene is from Evolution then why would they do Viktor...he died in the first movie. Logically they should do Marcus.
 
1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

I think if they don't change much (fabric choice, head size, and a better body) A lot of reputation will be at stake for them. Also when you release a prototype which is 90 pct there like hot toys does, consumer confidence goes a long way in bucketing orders for them during preorder! I understand their rational to put whatever they could due to the event timing, and have faith in them, but if they miss the mark post preorder release then pretty much that's that! And they won't make changes post that phase. So ideally I would have also preferred a 90pct plus prototype.

But on a good note - the sculpt is a great start and the base is also stunning! Accessories also look good so if they are listening / watching and observing this space - and fix a few things that people are talking about here - this will be a home run for them!

I have waited years for a company to challenge hot toys. The closest was enterbay! But they went down a miserable path with their nba crap! A path of no recovery!

I hope some of these new companies actually kick hot toys ass! That's what I want and that's why I want them to give us a near perfect Selene! Else they will be dismissed by collectors and hot toys alike!

Come on star ace!!! Get this fixed and I and many others may by this/ semi bd/ full bd! Whatever you release :)

So basically everything in the photo is a placeholder. It's a tricky position to be in for a company I'm sure. On one hand you want to show your upcoming products to get people excited, but on the other hand if you show it too early then you risk turning people off because they don't understand that improvements will likely be made. I'm just going to keep an eye on this and will pick it up if it turns out well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

i dont think they're doing this chronologically.
 
Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

Well, the Hot Toys Tie Pilot is the latest figure that has gone up for preorder. For full retail, it costs $199.99 in the U.S.

And Princess Leia was $204.99.
But what accessories does it come with? $199 is like the lowest for a HT figure. Wouldn't HT Black Widow or Scarlet Witch be a better comparison? BW is $220 and I believe they reused her head from a previous version. Scarlet Witch is $230. So Selene will be right in line with those...and she has a deluxe base being made for her.

So, a bit more than your average figure then.

Wait, if this Selene is from Evolution then why would they do Viktor...he died in the first movie. Logically they should do Marcus.

It doesn't really matter what order I suppose.

I would really like to see their take on a Lycan though, with real fur. :wink1:

Hmm...I don't know how I feel about real hair/fur, but I would definitely LOVE to have a Lycan figure.

The costume from Evolution is cooler. That's the only reason for the choice.

I'm down for that...sounds like good reasoning.
 
Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

What does it matter, how many of us have ...robocop displayed with babydoll next to spiderman, non belong together. So Evo Selene with Viktor isnt such an issue is it? They are the top characters so will sell well, thats what matters
