Everything looks fine, including the eyes, to me except for the mouth. Fix that and it's a beauty. Neither mouth is too far off.

Thought that was Lion-O for a sec.

And by the way katsumoto wasnt evil :lecture

So this must be coming up for pre-order soon, when you guys reckon?
 
Now explain how this is even possible. What is this a figure of "Jack Sparrow" played by "Johnny Depp"?:cuckoo:

:dunno looks like depp to me.

Can you remove the skin and eyes from the HT sculpt too? I want to see if it matches Depp's bare skull.


HT are way off despite what you guys are saying. Look at HT's work then look at this and decide which you think looks more like Depp.

Coming soon, stache on Depp.

That is a custom though, and will cost much more. :slap

Oh yes, I realize that, but for characters like this (for me at least) It's all about the likeness. A bad likeness can really break a figure imo however nicely the accessories and costume are..
 
For me personally, I prefer manufactured pieces. I don't like displaying customs/kitbashed pieces. especially when it comes to higher end like HT. I'd rather have a Sparrow from HT than a custom/kitbashed piece. The paint apps and such are different and I prefer to similarity/unison within my collection and just me knowing that they come from the same Company. That's just me though. I have nothing against customs b/c I obviously make some of my own from time to time

Now thats Sparrow. I like this sculpt much more. :D

that's not Sparrow, that's Depp with his typical grin. It can be Dillinger, Sparrow, Sweeney, etc...just depends on how he looks with hair
 
Well thats convenient then considering he, ya know, actually plays the character. :lol:
 
No it doesn't... Don't really know what you were expecting, but removing the mustache and dark eyes in PS and replace it with a slab of skin colour isn't gonna give you Johnny Depp... There are subtle factors like facial features, skin tones, light and whatever, that have to be taken in consideration... :lol


The above custom sculpt proves you wrong - it has no paint on it or even hair and everyone agrees that it's instantly recognisable as Johnny Depp. The HT DX Sparrow is currently an Asian looking headsculpt with Jack Sparrows facial hair, eyeliner and bandana etc.

Not sure about you but I would like a figure that looks like Johnny Depp - not some guy dressed as Jack Sparrow.
 
Well that's convenient then considering he, ya know, actually plays the character :lol

Yea I know....:monkey1

I just meant it as it's not Sparrow until you put the stache, dreads, bandanna and what not. So, technically,it's not Sparrow. Even with the upcoming stache it's still won't be Sparrow, not yet. It'll just be Depp since he usually has a stache...
 
Ughhh... what is the point of this thread again?

To provide a venting place for those so consumed with having to collect that it is worth endless arguing and fighting over how a collectible should be altered to meet their tastes because they must have it, but their way, and can't just say, I don't like it, pass, moving along to something I like.
