Admiral Piett 12" figure

[pixletwin]

Green. And the SS Proto looked the same as Pradji, black. Right?

No the proto looked closer to grey on the olve drab scale. Nowhere near black.

I must have just assumed since it wasn't olive. Anyway, I think he looks great.

Looking again, the paint work looks great too.

This figures sculpt and paint is horrible..hell DML and DID pump out a better job then that.

Looks nothing like the character at all IMO, the sculpts way too smooth.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You know SS isn't doing texture on their 12" figs yet, so why should this surprise you?

I think the sculpt is pretty good.

He looks better but still not all that recognizable.

He does look better than the proto picture, but in that particular shot, he looks ALOT like the merovingian from the Matrix trilogy. It's got ALOt of potential, but this particular shot is not very flattering.

It is a bad shot for highlight the sculpt, it's only useful for seeing the uniform color and clean paint lines, but the lighting on the face is almost all the same middle tone, no highlights, no strong shadows, almot as bad as flash photography in terms of showing off forms in the face.

Exactly. I'm looking forward to getting him in hand, and seeing him for myself. Was his uniform really Olivie in the film? I could have SWORN that Piet wore Gray.

I look forward to highlighting the sculpt, I think there's a good likeness in there to be brought out, and Andy did it, so I'm sure it's closer than a lot of photos let on.

As for the color of his uniform, depends on what reference photo you look at.

Olive

Grey

Green

Grey

Green-Grey

Sean, didn't Andy quit making Sideshow sculpts a long time ago?

He did leave to go work for DC but Piett is his sculpt, credited at SSC site and confirmed by him because I had made a comment to him about it in an email correspondence. I think it was done before he left.

 

[coolkansaswind]

well for me i look forward to this one

 

[Lordscum]

I'm looking forward to getting Piett as well, I think the potrait is pretty darn good. It will be nice to add a high ranking Imperial Officer to ranks.

Great job!!

Thanks DarthNeil.

What happened?

 

[jedibear]

DarthNeil altered the deal...pray he doesn't alter it any further....


...all kidding aside,


Let's behave folks....

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yikes. How can Hot Toys get better with each figure, but Sideshow just looks more Hasbro? Cancelling another one.

 

[MaulFan]

I think he turned out really nice.
