Anyone felt 1/6 has hit a bottle neck in terms of realism?

Let's see . . . and away we go!

1. GI JOE, pretty much anything female figure, military, figures inspired by films, comic book related figures.

2. Primarily 1:6 with a few deviations into 1:12 and 1:18.

3.

4. Hard to cut out.

5. I'll be dead and buried with my 1:6 collection before I reach the age of 60.

Wow, this is so typical Chung.

...except his collection was sold on Ebay.

But his expression of his opinion was classic Chung. We should be thankful for his proving to us we can't take it with us. It's nice to have certainty.

DFC died right?

DFC died right?

It was reported as so on this forum some time ago. We all go, and our collections whatever they may be end up being sold on by our survivors or sent to the charity shop.

You can only sculpt so much into a 1/6 platform

I think huge industry sea changes happen every 7-11 years. I remember when the McFarlane Movie Maniacs were the pinnacle of realism in toys; how times have changed. Another series of innovations peaked recently, so I am thinking we will probably see another long lull, unless some bolt of lighting company comes out of the blue with hyper-hyper-hyper realistic toys. I could see that maybe happening in other industries, but not this one

Got into 1/6 figure collecting in mid 2024 but knew of Hot Toys for a while. I always thought many of the figures' likenesses even as recent as 2022 look quite bad particularly Marvel and Star Wars. During 2024 I was getting more convinced to start a collection, then enter other brands like Inart raising the bar for realism. I'm lucky I started late to the 1/6 game amid the year of 2.0s avoiding the terrible figures brought out before. I can definitely see the difference between Hot Toys stuff present vs 2023 prior.
