1/6 SUPERMAD TOYS, the old detective 2049

[Candle Jack]

Just paid the outstanding amount for Joi - so she should be on her way soon.

Where did you order her from?

 

[**16k**]

Yep, Joi is shipping!

 

[lieutenant dan]

Yay! Just received the shipping notice for Joi, from KG Hobby.

Yep, Joi is shipping!

Seriously, Joi is shipping before Officer K. I'm slowly getting sick of waiting here.

Please post pics as soon as you can. On their IG, KG Hobby posted a few pics. Unfortunately, it's not looking too good.

Can there even be "kind of" atrocious

Oh my Lord......Hot Toys is still king of the heap by a lot !

I haven?t heard from KG yet... but by the look of it that might be for the better [emoji51]

Mine was despatched this morning, so yours should be soon.


I don't take much notice of those quick phone snaps from retailers.


If she actually looked that bad KG Hobby wouldn't have posted photos. They'd have done what retailers did with Toys Works' Jessica Jones and just let customers find out for themselves.


Recently there were some pretty bad blogger photos of Pop Toys' Robin Hood which made the sculpts look terrible. In hand they were excellent, with all the skin detail, flesh tones and beard painting you'd expect from a company like Hot Toys.


Black Box aren't in Pop Toys' league, but they're usually pretty good.

 

[bmendez]

Yeah, wanted to be kind by calling it "not so good", but yup, looks absolutely awful.

The sculpts are better than KG Hobby's photos suggested, but still lack the range of tones shown in the promotional photos.

The main problem which was immediately apparent, is that they're very small. Placed on the suggested TBLeague/Phicen body it looks like a pin head.

I had an alternative body ready, a semi-seamless Pop Toys Xing 92005A, which is shorter and with narrower shoulders. This mitigates some of the issue with the tiny sculpt.

The paint is also more tan, whereas Black Box recommended a pale body. Which always seemed iffy based on the original photos.

The jacket is yellow, rather than green, and isn't totally transparent as there's a kind of bloom or frosting on it. Yellow, however, is much more accurate to the actual costume.

Boots look quite complex, but have more of a shiny plastic finish than the leathery pleather they showed. The zips also don't reach the top, as though they cut the lengths too short.

This is another low point, following the Toys Works Jessica Jones bait and switch. Though I still suspect Black Box and Toys Works to be the same company.

All these photos were taken with the flash, so in hand and under normal lighting the sculpt looks better than it appears here.

The body is the Pop Toys Xing 92005A, suntan, small bust, because you have to scale the figure down to better match the small sculpt size.

Putting the second sculpt on the recommended TBLeague S18A not only accentuates how under sized it is, but also how tanned it is compared to the body:

So this is how I'll be displaying the second sculpt:

Just paid for this... something tells me I shouldn?t have [emoji51]

 

[Asta]

She looks good on display though.

And she was pretty cheap, apart from the useless TBLeague body which I don't have any current plans for.

It was ironic that the Xing body arrived in the post a while back, and I had no idea where from at first because I hadn't ordered or paid for it! I can only surmise it was an Ebay order which the seller cancelled because the supposedly 'in stock' body wasn't, and restocks were delayed again and again without any idea when they would appear. The seller refunded me. Then months later out of the blue the body arrived, but without any indication from which seller.

I didn't have any use for it, but considered I might be using it for Joi.

I know it's a cheap figure compared to most other companies but I'd still be pretty upset with the final product.

Putting the second sculpt on the recommended TBLeague S18A not only accentuates how under sized it is, but also how tanned it is compared to the body:

I think the look on that bird's face says it all....

lol i can't imagine how K & Deckard would end up like.

 

[davejames]

Yeah the outfit actually looks pretty decent there, but even on that smaller body the head looks painfully small.
