BIOHAZARD / RESIDENT EVIL 5 by Hot Toys

[The ill Jedi]

They're going to have to make some drastic changes if they want to nail both characters. Let's hope HT goes the distance.

Someone said a few pages back that when HT shows a figure that it's the final product, this is not true. Look at what they did with Dutch, the original sculp (IMO) looked great, then they did it over and turned out even more amazing. I think these are just to show what they can do and I'm sure they are working on making them even better than they are now. The RE4 figures were nothing short of perfect, I'm sure the end product of these will be the same.

hot toys did tease that they will have at least one more character other then chris and sheva. newsletter said something like. "who will you see chris? sheva? and who else? play the game and make your guess" so im expecting at least one more. WESKER WESKER WESKER!

I'm sure they'll get to him, he's the main antagonist and he's a bad ass, they have to!

Anyone who owns one of the rubber like chris' can you put his arms down straight beside him? or is his arms always going to have that bow in them? even the picture were hes holding the gun his arms look like you cant bend them well.

I have batman which his bend find, this looks weird.

 

[Furious1]

My Rocky and Drago figs can only hold the most basic of poses, and when their arms are down at their side, they tend to stick out a little bit. I'm sure I'll be able to get Chris into some decent poses, but nothing like I can get with Leon.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

see i wouldn't mind to just have him standing..but i dont want him to look like an ape..or a hunchback

 

[darren1228]

Both are super disappointing IMO. I also don't think they will go through great lengths to fix them. Chris needs a bulkier body but Hot Toys is not going to design an entirely new body for him (they didn't do it for Hellboy and I doubt they'll do it for Chris). This is entirely different from Dutch where they changed his headsculpt (because Fox or Arnold didn't approve the original).

I want PSG1 and Dragunov sniper rifle so badly... the figures.. just so so. If the final product looks like this I'll pass.

 

[Morbo]

not loving them, but I'm holding final judgment until we see some proper production pics.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

It sucks too because if these two don't do well they prolly wont make a Wesker.

 

[mr.fan]

I frankly don't care if you see a difference in the style or not. I DO see a difference in style. The Dead figures look nothing like the classic zombies from the RE games in my opinion. You have your opinion and I have mine but since you wanted me to back it up here are some shots.

These look NOTHING like The Dead figures to me. Much more decomposed and dead looking zombies:

well put bud, re zombies always had that unique look and just saying "ordinary zombies do just fine" is unjustifiable.

not loving them, but I'm holding final judgment until we see some proper production pics.

I'm of this mindset as well. I just want my Chris, Jill, and Wesker S.T.A.R.S. Uniform, but it's probably not going to happen

 

[mr.fan]

ahh not digging those unfortunately... Hit us with monsters and wesker!!!

RE5 is MUCH different that RE4 in this regard. RE4 had a couple of main characters to make. RE5 has double the amount of characters to make, which makes me wonder if they are only going to choose a few.

I think Chris looks slightly off, maybe he needs to be a tad more bulky?

 

[small_studios]

They made Chris's arms way to big in the game. They are huge. Hot Toys may be going for a more realistic feel. I would like to see them use the Dutch body. However i dont see them using the Arnold body they are probably saving that specifically for the debut of the figure. They do need to tweek shevas face a bit.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Hmmmmm, sadly and strangely unimpressed.

At least I can save some cash!

 

[Spliff]

what the hell HT?

those look terrible.

edit-they also put the wrong scope on the M4.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

M4? Where's an M4?

 

[Biojex]

keep in mind that some magazine articles are written almost a month before the magazine is released. so improvements couldve been made to each figure..personally i like em so far. I do however notice the faults being mentioned.

 

[THX-182]

I'll most likely get them even if they look like they do in those pics because they look good enough to me but I'm still going to wait for pics closer to their release. There is room for improvement.

We got R.P.D Leon, so S.T.A.R.S. Chris is a definite possibility.
