Re: Possible Hot Toys DC TV license?
Thanks for the view and compliment
The issues about the body, you're absolutely right. he may be slimmer than his physique in DMC4, but it doesnt mean I need to throw a sandwich his way haha.
It's just that IMO he is fine as is and if money is an issue in regards to spending more for mods/body swapping, it really isn't necessary. I'd rather you save that money and buy DMCV Vergil lol.
But of course it's up to everyone's tastes Y'know?
As for the magnet. Yeah, there's no denying that the poor implementation of the magnet sucks a big one and knocks the score down a bit. Buuuut, when given lemons, you make lemonade right? Can't hang rebellion off his back and are not confident in opening it to fix it?
Alright, then I'll just pose him resting the sword on his shoulder. Or, I can pose him mid action where he grabs rebellion off his back and is about to strike.
Anyhow, if you get Dante, I'm positive you'd be more than satisfied with your purchase. It's my personal figure of the year.
Why thank you for your in-depths views on this figure, it's much appreciated.
I had already watched your review before you advised it to me but had no idea you were on this board as well, cool to see a real passionate collector! I watched the very rare reviews available on Youtube for this figure but I was still left with those questions about the body & sword haha.
But really appreciated your review a lot, the shots, the editing, the voice over and pick of musics was ace. I will advertise your channel when I get the chance, you deserve way more views for your work. My audience is french but there are a lot of people interested in figure reviews, and I don't/can't cover that sadly.
On a side note, I had no idea the Asmus DMC4 was that expensive and impossible to find. Thanks for warning me. Given there aren't much options to get a proper Dante figure, I guess this one will sell out fast and that I have to make up my mind quickly, you two guys greatly helped.
I agree it's definitely (visually anyway from what I've seen with reviews & pictures) a strong contender for figure of the year in 1/6 scale.
Can't say I've been much impressed by anything in this scale recently, but it's mostly because of the picks of characters (I really don't understand wtf Hot Toys are doing, they completely lost me), and also because I think we've reached the max quality standard for the charged prices. If you want a superior quality, you have to ask a customizer who may take forever to customize it and charge you at least the price of your figure if not more hahaha. But at this point of realism, it's Art really, can't really put a definitive price on that (for instance I really dig one of the Michael Myers customs DeanKnight bought a while ago, I think he paid well over a thousand dollars for it, but it's worth it, his figure is mindblowing).
My personal figure of the year is 1/12 Venom Snake by Limtoys for now, but I could see Dante being my favorite 1/6 of the year. What's the competition really? Ahahaha. Just sucks that we have to customize him dammit!
And yeah if Vergil comes out, depending on the result, I may get him as well, I dig his design in DMC5. Nero & V will be a pass though.
Lastly about money, I used to invest a lot in figures in the past, but I've sold a ****load of figs recently. What got me back in the game is Limtoys (pre-ordered over a year and a half ago, it was to the point I had forgotten about it). Hence why I'm on the fence and really picky right now haha, I'm extremely picky (and of course way too much things going on, things to pay everything, and the coronavirus situation isn't helping, ****** year for everyone!).
Anyway thanks very much for your inputs!
