Asmus Toys: Escape From New York Snake Plissken

[DGSimo]

I really appreciate that Asmus puts up with us and attempts to appease us. The sculpt needs work, and it's great that they listen and want to hold off on PO's until it's updated.

I mean a lot of criticism and feedback was given when their ED2 Ash was revealed where they promised to pass it along and make the necessary changes and look how that turned out. lol

Neither headsculpt looks like Kurt which is pretty shocking and amazing given not only is it meant to represent their cream of the crop being a Crown release but...how could you be that far off the mark and yet years ago I purchased and still own their John Ruth figure that has a better likeness to Kurt.

Stole the pictures from an earlier version,

I think its much better. & I know I'm "on an island" here, but I really dislike most rooted hair head sculpts. Very much prefer sculpted hair, but I know most collectors nowadays prefer rooted.

I too think it's much better.

I am not sure what people are seeing, but the Asmus like like Kurt more than Sideshow. Sometimes, I think guys just don't want to be honest and will keep the lie up to save face. Human nature I guess.

I prefer sculpted hair. If they want to do rooted, at least give and option for sculpted like InArt. I hated the InArt Aragorn rooted hair immensely.

Yep, Henrietta didn't even have any hair in the first batch that got sent out, and those seamless arms on Ash were awful. And the stand said Ash Willams. The figure needed a full body swap, and this one probably will too, so it's not worth anything if the headsculpt looks nothing like Kurt Russell

thank you

Super big fan of the movie, to me snake Looks a little bit old but other than that a totally ok proto.

With that said , would really like a sculpted hair option cause I've seen (in person) some of your rooted hair figures and to be honest I don't think you can handle it.

Also after what you did with Dante from the original game, I'm not gonna pre-order this time and I'll wait for the figure release

 

[p3ss3ssod]

I ain't seein' it.

But I'll probably still be buyin' it...

 

[Life_m2000]

I think most here are referring to the original sculpt.

This is what Asmus posted....their updated sculpt just for reference.

I think it looks great..anyone else think this needs improvement?

I think that sculpt is better than the ones in the main photo of the product

 

[MxBxM]

The promotional sculpt is just a random bearded guy with an eye patch. The earlier version is slightly better, but still bad. Both sculpts are bad.

I just do not get how they made the proto worse...

I hope they really take the feedback seriously and put out a great product, but right now it is not even a decent headsculpt. Any of them

 

[Johnny Utah]

Wow tell us how you really feel

I'd be happy with that, though I don't like the stubble. Always look like dirt.

To me it looks fantastic. If they released that, I'd be happy.

We appreciate everyone whom takes time to leave a message here,
good or bad, it is what we are here for, and all feedbacks are welcome.

The team has revisited the sculpt, we will start by repaint it based on the old version,
and I will update them once a prototype is ready.

Thank you

Going to be rude here but the DMC1 Dante sculpt is really bad.

Thanks for listening to feedback. Please consider offering a version of Plissken with sculpted hair. I just feel rooted hair might not do the figure justice over time.

I'm someone who no longer plays games but know Dante because well I used to. Not an expert on Dante, but why is it bad?

I'm looking at it and it seems like Dante...

You should sell these as independent portraits. Those are really cool. I could use that for kitbashes, regardless of the likeness. I’d buy these as is, Asmus. Sell
them to me if you need to unload them!

Also consider movable eye if possible at this stage.

I've been a pretty vocal Asmus critic on these forums, especially after that Gandalf, but I do genuinely want to see improvement from the company.

I think people are more disappointed because Asmus has been pretty quiet for a while, especially with licenses like Middle Earth. I guess we were, or at least I was, expecting more from the comeback but so far there doesn't seem to have been much improvement.

 

[Rzeznikk]

Wow. Yeah there's no Kurt in those sculpts at all. Seems to be Asmus m.o. though: Release a Figure with a half-ass sculpt only to have them release a better one later where people will thank them for providing the option to "upgrade" for an extra $100. What a ******* joke. Starting to see through and tire of these tactics with this company. Thankfully this isn't a figure I'm dying to have on the shelf, so it's an easy pass for me. (SS was also an easy pass) Hopefully Asmus will stop playing these games and just get it right the first time for you guys. Maybe some day a quality company will tackle as release a quality Snake. But this ain't it.
