The normal headsculpt definitley looks off, its like his facial features are all too small for his head, like someone minimised the middle of his face on photoshop. The zombie Ed looks great though, I'll probably pose him like that with Shaun. It's a shame he doesn't come with the Winchester rifle

 

[rocbolt]

Pretty big miss on the sculpt, its like the face is all scrunched up into the center of the head

Zombie one looks better, or at least better hidden under all the blood. I don't really want a figure just for that look though

You can tell who it is suppose to be but it looks off and cheap. No one asked for this .

 

[JacktheRipper]

Actually we did.

 

[Akiratang]

Right

 

[JacktheRipper]

You do know there's a Shaun coming, right?

A lot of people asked for this. Shaun of the dead is great.

 

[Hologram AI]

One person not personally wanting this = nobody asked for this. Everyone who got the Shaun wanted an Ed figure to go along with him.

gahhhhh that headsculpt

 

[soundwave]

gahhhhh that headsculpt

That was my thought too
Looks good until you get to the sculpt & then it's just horrible

What does that noob know anyway?!

I’ve been waiting for this since Shaun went up and have a fun display planned.

Will likely use the zombie face as it’s the clear winner of the two.

With a repaint, the old Sideshow Ed didn't look bad at all, this head is just bad. While it's nice that something like this exists at all, it could have been a LOT better.

Below is P@CKR@CK's repaint of the Sideshow Ed:

Just ....No.....Take this back to the drawing board guys.....

The light in this figure for me is Dead Ed. When it was initially teased that was the draw. Do wish the normal sculpt was better. Enough time to fix it, but will they? Probably not.

I kind of forgot about Shaun. Never pre-ordered but now with Ed coming too maybe..

Are these licensed or does this company just not care? It shows Shaun of the Dead on the pictures but I assume they’re not actually licensed.

 

[JacktheRipper]

It does state "PENDING LICENSOR APPROVAL."

There's been some strange things like this in the past. Like when Great Twins recast the HT Terminator and shrunk it down, which apparently was licensed and approved by Studiocanal. I was amazed that they got away with that. Also, many years ago, a company called Fire Figures was going to make an Assassin's Creed figure, they were using official logos and everything, but Ubisoft shut them down. That was funny because it was obvious they were making a joke on Hot Toys. Hot Toys ... Fire Figures ...

But I think this is just a company pasting in the licensor text when they don't know what it actually means, chalk it up to the language barrier. They just put that text on the images because Hot Toys does it. I think if it actually was licensed it would have a TM or R symbol next to the Shaun of the Dead logo, and it would probably have the copyright text indicating that it's licensed by Studiocanal, who I believe is the license holder.

I tell you what if it is pending Licensor approval & I was Nick Frost & shown that abomination there would be NO WAY I'd be approving that likeness.
It's beyond bad, that's Star Ace Toys level of bad.
