BIOHAZARD / RESIDENT EVIL 5 by Hot Toys

[hrambo001]

I'm sold on these...i have the RE4 hot toys figs, and these look great to me...although i haven't played the game yet, looking forward to picking it up this weekend. Still I think these are going on my preorder list

 

[Boba Ben]

These are a couple of improvements I'd like to see made to Chris

-Give him the poseable Dutch arms.

-His body is the biggest issue to overcome. I think that a great way to get around this would be to keep him on the muscle body, but add something to his clothing to make his upper body look bigger. His legs and core look decent, but he doesn't have the huge shoulders that define his look. Adding something similar to a mini version of a football player's shoulder pads to the upper part of the clothing would possibly make him look a lot better. They could even add sculpted muscle definition to the chest and back area of the shoulder pad thing to make it look more natural.

I know that it's a long shot, but it'd be cool if Hot Toys went to the trouble of making an improvement like this to the figure. Sheva looks good, but her face just doesn't look as pretty as it is in the game.

Yes I agree..

A resculped muscle body would be the best...however this would be very expensive for hottoys.
I think I will do something to improve his shoulders...and about the arms I hope willl be seperate from the body like "Dutch".
There is another thing that must be fixed...His "long neck"

 

[lerath666]

the "long neck" is a feature of the muscle bodies, and it's one of the reasons i HATE them. IMO it looks as if dutch has this too, however, the jacket he comes with serves to hide it to some degree.

Yup.But it could be fixed easily..simplily making the head pin hole deeper...
(I have both Krauser and the neck looks great because the head pin hole is deeper)

If you have played the game you may noticed that Chris has not neck because he is too "bulky"

 

[lerath666]

yeah.. his characer model in the game looks a little..... stylized. just picked it up yesterday, only just gotten past the first "sequence" so far.

 

[Platty]

They look ok to me. Chris definitely needs to be bulkier. I can't agree with who ever said HT are going for the more realistic look...IMO they'd be going for the best representation of the character, right? He deffo needs bigger shoulders and a smaller neck.

Also, im not reall diggin' the colour of the pants on them both...there wasnt that much of a contrast between chris' top and pants on the game was there?

The weapons look great! Although i'd like to have seen chris come with the MP5

All that said...im still thinking of buying chris, Have to check out the price

 

[VALVOLINER]

-The problem is the top (shirt) because the original colour is light green not dark green..The pants colour is ok.

-I have one spare MP5 but the only weapon I really want is the S75 sniper rifle

Yes..the "long neck" is a big problem I hope hottoys fix all the issues..

 

[The ill Jedi]

Here's why I'm not worried; if Hot Toys would have released Official photos with everyone's concerns glaring at us I'd know that there was a chance these issues would not be resolved. But since these are from a toy magazine and we've seen or heard nothing from HT themselves I maintain that they will be tweaking these until they are satisfied with them. I thought the RE4 figures were near perfect, why wouldn't they want to do the same with these. Hot Toys does not ^^^^ around, they come correct.

 

[Platty]

Just going off what we see...

Agreed ill. I'm sure we will be satisfied once we see official pics.

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

I want them to make a Ricardo Irving

This is a joke ..Right?

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

This is a joke ..Right?

No it's no joke. Why not make like him. I thought he pretty funny, sneaky, and tricky. I'd actually want them to make a figure of him and bird mask Jill. Hot Toys can't seriously mess them up. I'd want an Excella, but after seeing that hot toys doesn't take female figures seriously with Sheva, I'd forget about it.
I'm curious though, why do you think I'm joking?

Well...because is one of the worst Resident Evil secondary characters ever ..Like Ramon Salazar in RE4..(I think he has even the same funny voice) and he has no weight in the plot.

I preffer Chris,Sheva,Wesker,Jill and even the chainsaw majini,Excella or Axe Man.. ..but Ricardo Irving...No thanks

(This is my personal oppinion)

PS:Well..thinking again..He could match perfectly next to my Joker

NO it's a different guy, Irvings likeness is taken from the voice actor and motion captor himself. I still think adding him would cool, I don't really see anything bad about him, a figure of him would look cooler than a Salazar. IMHO a bird mask jill and a irving would end up looking the best if made. This is how I'd see it.

JILL - Bird Mask
- Hooded Cloak
- 2 Machine Guns
- Chest probe with LED light function
IRVING - 2nd Smiling Head
- Suitcase with files, Laptop, Syringe
- Sunglasses
- Pistol

Both figure would look sharp to put in production, I don't really see why not. I though Salazar was nothing to the RE4 story but just another enemy to get in Leon's Way. Every Character in RE5 had a use to the story. Irving is suppose to stand as the guy that's behind everything, the fundings of Uroboros and the crisis. But since the trailers spoiled the twist of the game, we already know it's Wesker behind everying and because of that everyone else if often ignored. Have you read any of the RE History in the Game? He sounds more story connected than we usually see. His short screen time may have been disappoint because we already knew Wesker and Jill were the surprise. Because of that spoil, we forget that the short appearance is actually meant to build mystery to the character based on little we know. But if you read the Irving History in the game, you'll see that he's actually a pretty important asset to the story.

 

[THX-182]

I can pretty much guarantee that an Irving would not sell at all. He's a forgettable character as well as an annoying one. No one would want him.

 

[Platty]

I know I wouldn't !

JILL - Bird Mask

IRVING - 2nd Smiling Head
- Suitcase with files, Laptop, Syringe
- Sunglasses
- Pistol

I would buy Jill -Bird Mask version if Hottoys finally release her..But Ricardo Irving,sorry but I,ll pass,because don,t like the character itself .

If the first wave have enough success then hottoys probably make more characters and special costume versions (Chris Redfield and Wesker S.T.A.R.S or Jill BSAA) and even IRVING..Who knows!!

 

[Boba Ben]

I'm really hoping that Ill Jedi is right and Hot Toys is taking so long to release official pictures of the figures because they're tweaking them and making them look perfect for us.

Take as much time as you need Hot Toys. I'm a patient man.
