Asmus Toys Evil Dead 2

[Rzeznikk]

Still waiting on 3rd party cell phone pics up close with the flash on so I can expertly critique this figure from my couch. That's the proper way.
Also looking at the latest pics posted here I see the fly on the pants does close, but the arms and legs do not bend.

Legs don't bend? That's a new one.

Man how can they not add the 3 cuts? Seriously I get it was proto buy that's something I really expected.

I'm gonna customize mine these needs a fair bit of work.

I wonder what Bruce Campbell would say/think of this if he's even inclined to post on this in social media (i.e., Facebook, Instagam, etc.) considering a product based on his likeness is dismal to put it mildly?

 

[Rzeznikk]

Here’s a little dose of sad reality…
This figure is going to SELL OUT…and prove to be a highly profitable release for Asmus, encouraging them to do an even worse job on their next release.
How many people on this thread are saying “wow…Asmus dropped the ball on this…but, nothing I can’t fix with a pint of paint…heck, I’m kinda looking forward to it!”
To say nothing of the 96% of people who will buy this that don’t even know about this site.
Asmus will weather the social media storm and laugh all the way to the bank.
Reading 12 toy collector’s comments online doesn’t cost Asmus a penny.
As long as folks are ready and willing to pay $350 to rebuild a garbage figure, Asmus and others like them will keep churning it out.

Hell yeah I'm looking forward to it!

I was just thinking if someone handed him the figure to sign at a convention I'd half expect him to look at it puzzled like "is that what I look(ed) like?"

And that’s good for you my dude, but as I said before, some of us don’t have the time or inclination and even if we did, we would want to know before we make a preorder and make that choice, not be suckered in on the back end. Do what you want with your figures, but this release doesn’t get a pass just because you have the free time to repaint it.

Hoping to see someone have a go at repainting the head. Almost 100% of the personality behind the facial expression is lost thanks to Asmus not dark shading the epicanthic folds or eyelids. What was originally a focused stare forward on the prototype now looks like an emotionless glance upwards.

 

[Ramman81]

Nah. It looks awesome. Again, the only terrible thing here is the hairless Henrietta.

Missing the body cuts is not terrible either?

Sounds like Asmus (and Sideshow) are giving full refunds for people canceling so by all means vote with your wallets guys. And from the sound of it there will be several... maybe they'll end up with so many cancelations they will look at things differently in the future.

 

[Rzeznikk]

I've seen more people claiming they canceled/are going to cancel than I have read people keeping their order so if that's the truth Asmus will have a lot of stock left over. I'm definitely in the minority with keeping my order.

 

[JacktheRipper]

Most definitely speak with your wallets. Even if it does not affect them financially it will your financial situation. I'm not pre-ordering anything from them ever. I'll wait to see the final product and then decide. I haven't been invoiced so I can stick it out for a little longer.

No articulation...

Those boots are terrible.

So, im gonna pay 350 for a set of non screen acurate accesories for an ash, with a horrible head sculpt and a body that i cant use because it has the movility of a metal beisball bat....im out,as much as i love evil dead this feels like a scam

Definitely cancel
Hopefully Blitzway or Threezero grab the license. I'd say HT but that's a pipe dream.

Heaven forbid one can just be a toy collector without having ANY interest whatsoever in having to actually MAKE a toy!
Imagine if the screen went black as the portals opened near the end of Avengers Endgame and a message showed up on the screen telling you to leave the theater, buy a camcorder and costumes, grab 50 of your closest friends, and film the end of the movie in your own backyard if you want to find out how it ends?

This has to be a joke, right?
Surely

 

[Rzeznikk]

Even NECA was able to produce a better PAINTED AND HAIRED Henrietta than @Asmus

Darn it not again !

I understand people that aren't happy with the figure, personally I'm still happy I'm getting one, definitely going to do some customising tho
