Very interesting. Please share in hand photos.

I really hate the way these silicone figures look. They look unnatural to me. More so than a sculpted piece of plastic.

JND should employ these guys because this looks much better than their Joker.

I don't think this is actually that bad regarding the unnatural look, resin definitely captures the details and pours better.

Will say for the price this could of least included a few small extras or an actual stand not just a bit of black metal!

Eh not feeling it. Doesn't look like they updated the sculpt. It reminds me of the weird Enterbay one back in the day.

Don't really get why this figure would need rooted hair. The slick backed look lends itself to being sculpted.

So I have this in hand and I can say I love the detail in the sculpt in person. This feels premium and clothes are actually better than Dam toys.

One thing that I'm pissed about is they decided to give him plastic hands not silicone as advertised.

weird? enterbay is the best among the 1/6 vito.

The hair and mustache is so well implemented.

Always looked mexican to me. His eyes were just weird.

The damtoys alt sculpt looks most like Marlon, without the dramatic poster lighting. Though maybe a bit of a toss up between HT. (real - damtoys - enterbay - hot toys)

It's weird because I don't see much Brando in the alt dam sculpt always preferred the original.

Personally not worth the price they retailed at especially after the bait and switch on the silicone hands!

Actually selling one at a slight loss. Still think personally hot toys still wins, also the only company that got the stripe on the pants!

The Enterbay figure looked great for its time. The body was crap and he was undersized but the headsculpt was good. Oh.. the suit was also kind of crap, the material used had that waterproof texture to it. The photographs from collectors were terrible, and people that have never seen it in person were basing judgement on the few ugly photos that were floating around online. I put mine away after getting the Damtoys, if not, i'd take some proper shots to defend it.

However... to be more accurate, the Enterbay looked very much like the older Vito in the middle of the film. The one that sets up the meeting with the 5 families after Sonny died. Not the Don at the start of the movie. Not the old Don about to die in the garden. The makeup and differences are subtle as the movie goes on but it is there. Hot Toys version made him a little younger, which is why people like it, but if you compare the paint apps and details of the HS only, its not as good as the Enterbay.
