I loved this movie. I didn't care for the sideshow figure from years ago, but after what happened to Evil Dead Ash, I'm not preordering this until final pictures come out. Those first pictures of ash were trash, they failed big time on that figure, which sucked because I wanted, and still want, an Ash figure.

Real shame about that jacket. Proportions and stitching feels off, like they didn't pay much attention to the movie version.

I went with the sculpted hair. Nothing against rooted, but i will wait for the in hand pics of the rooted hair version.
Count me in for an L.A. version if they decide to do one.

I’m kinda worried about the seamless arms, just noticed all the arms posed with the pistol is the alt jointed arms.

Looks like the jacket might be the way to go

Good catch.

Good catch.

Noticed this too and but there is some range of motion. I think they used vinyl and which tends to bunch the more you bend. This is not bad but for the price point it needs to be on par with HT rubber arms. Its a shame Asmus did not comment on this.

From what Asmus said about the hands I wouldn't put too much weight into the details in what they're showing for the body right now. It looks like a lot of placeholders were used just to get something up. I'm pretty sure all the photos so far are photoshopped CG heads on the bodies anyway, cause none of them look right to me.

If you look at this you can see the two different resolution between the zips on the shirt shoulders and the fabric weave and the head sculpt. If it was a focal length issue it would be softer but not more artefacted.

I don't think it's worth getting too worked up about any perceived defficiencies at this stage. They're obviously pretty far into production, I'd wager everything but the headsculpt has been done for a while but the ability to photograph a fully finished production sample isn't available yet.

Hopefully we get that in the next couple of weeks now the headsculpts finalised and most likely in production.

I've preordered the sculpted through Kit too, i've seen enough to be confident the likelihood of this being a great figure outweighs it coming out a dud. That said, I'll be more than happy to do some customising to get it to where I want to if it's not there out of the box.
