Aldo Raine Hat?

[Lejuan]

The neutral facial expressions are an issue on both Basterds figures from Hot Toys. But if you'd rather take a substantial dive in the quality department because the original expression doesn't do it for you than you can't see the forest because of the trees.

Hot Toys is dead-on Waltz even if they didn't go with the kind of facial expression we all expected and I'm not about to replace a beautiful HT head with sone amateur hour DiD sculpt because he's kinda smirking. The Mitt Romney likeness aside I don't think either DiD sculpts really captures Landa's demeanor either.

So compromising on expression to accommodate sculpt accuracy has integrity, while compromising on sculpt accuracy to accommodate expression doesn't. Gotcha.

Just more HT fandom gone wild. Randomly reading only what they wan to see and ignoring everything else.

Re: Aldo Raine Head Sculpt - Hot Toys or DID

I have the DID Hans, the likeness is nicer in my opinion, but the likenesses seems stronger on DID's version of Aldo Raine maybe?

You are high.

Still one of HT best ever imo.

Doesn't look as much like Aldo Raine as it does Brad Pitt

Hot Toys' Inglorious *******s line have been perfect.

Yeah that's why I have every intention of purchasing Enterbay's Waltz figure, because I'm a Hot Toys fanboy.

Show these to anyone who doesn't know the first thing about HT or DiD and my bet is they'll choose the one on the left as the sculpt that best represents Hans Landa.

DiD has the better one IMO. They got the small details like the thicker wrinkle under his left eye and capture the character a lot better. I've seen this with HT a lot. They capture the actor too much, not the characters.

To me, it's a wrong signal if someone says "He looks exactly like Christoph Waltz" because it's supposed to represent Hans Landa, not Waltz.

When I look at for example the 89 Batman figure, I don't think "That looks exactly like Michael Keaton", I think "That looks exactly like the Batman from 1989" because that's what it's supposed to be.

They do this so often and so extensively that I doubt that it is simply a matter of what gets approval from the talent and what doesn't. Unless it's a goofy looking character like Joker or Jack Sparrow, they seem to insist on playing the sculpts with a straight bat. Sometimes this suits the character but other times it just sucks the life right out of them.

I agree with you.... ht has missed the hans classic representation...
THE SMIRK...
if you exclude the head ...for the rest ht has done an amazing work...
