Asmus Toys: Escape From New York Snake Plissken

[Marine Boy]

Looks a lot better than the old Sideshow one. I just hope they fix the zippers on the vest. Someone pointed that out earlier.

Asmsus is known to release figures close to release

Only after the Ash debacle

 

[Indian Jones]

That's not what I said. This is getting awkward

Post #248 above.
That snake is not on the chest.

Ha, I get you now, a bit cryptic, though. Took a bit of guess work to decipher what you meant, buddy.

 

[mitraheroe]

Hi @Asmus,

Does the chest have his tattoo?

Kind thanks

That is the question. And the reason for a new debacle.
But I am afraid there won't be any tattoo, otherwise it would have been explicit. Do these companies know the properties they are paying for?

Works for me, haha! I'm hoping for no tatt and a non-Ash torso.

It looks pretty good, some things I would like to see fixed are the zipper placement on the shirt, a more weathered looking jacket, and for them to add a cigarette holding hand.

I'm waiting to see the sculpted hair version, hopefully it has finely sculpted strands of hair.

 

[mitraheroe]

And by the way: Asmus should make clear as well who will be the international carrier, because I am afraid that most people will be reluctant to buy the exclusive if it means heavy fees plus customs.

For a so-called "Crown" line, no tattoo would be a joke. Will Asmus ever learn their lesson?

 

[DioramaMaker]

I think this is the shot that's gonna sell a lot of people. Likeness is strongest here.

 

[More Battle Damage]

Preeeee-F'n-Orderd! W00t!

And yeah, I have the Sideshow version

looks weak to me , something with the eye looks wrong .

 

[Stryker2011]

Easy preorder. It may not be perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than Sideshow’s.

Yeah I have the Sideshow version too but good upgrade here.

 

[JacktheRipper]

How was Asmus able to make those last minute tweaks that close to release?

This was also another aspect that bothered me. With all these other companies having trouble just getting things out, how does Asmus show a sculpt take people's critique in December, tweak it, and now release it in March? Seems shady.

Standards of acceptability have really dropped around here. That hair needs work. The likeness to Kurt is around 70% there.

Comparing it to a Sideshow figure too?

DEMAND BETTER PEOPLE. IT'S 2025.

This is way better than Sideshow. It looks like Kurt, 90% to me. Not a fan of rooted hair, but this looks good rooted, so maybe for me over sculpted.

Would like tattoo myself and yes it's a clear upgrade over sideshow.

Completely agreed. It is a step in the right direction for Asmus but more improvement is needed to be truly competitive. On top of that their presentation/wording needs improvement. The company lacks true vision and a quality of standard that is reflected by HT and Inart.
Reworking the hair will dramatically help the likeness. I'm curious to see the sculpted version.

It's not rooted though. The listing says the hair is hand glued..

...I completely forgot about Henrietta and now I'm wondering if bald Plissken might be a thing.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Asmus have always struggled with hair from multiple Aragorns to this.

I like them as a company. Communication is good. They are great with details and accessories. But the major selling point, the head always needs work. This always stops me from a PO.

I'm still looking forward to their Mads Hannibal figure though.

InArt’s hair are glued, too.
