BIOHAZARD / RESIDENT EVIL 5 by Hot Toys

[hairlesswookiee]

But he actually paid for the game.

buying a pirated copy of a game doesn't make it legal.

 

[Spliff]

i'll take that as a lot of pirated music.

We are talking about HotToys Biohazard 5 1/6 figures in this thread..There is another disscusion thread for the game itself

Ok ok so, never trust ones judgement..some chick told me it sucked..to hell with her..i have only seen footage..looks good but, i don't like those things that come out of the heads of some enemies..looks like a centipede or something..dumb if you ask me..i am good at RE though i never usually get absolutely everything in the game..i can excel well at these games and!!..i got laid off man..give me a break..copied route is better for me at the moment..i am saving ^^^^ loads..bought like 20 360 games in the last month at $10-$15 a pop..why not.

Theif.

you got laid off so it makes it ok to steal?? NOT. maybe sell old games for credit or something. stealing is stealing whether its a car or a video game.

But he actually paid for the game.

Paid for a bootleg or not, it's still stolen. Stealing is stealing is stealing. period. Do be careful as you've got a 360. I'd avdise you to stay off xbox live, microsoft DOES go after people for owning pirated games. if it's not microsoft IP, they tend to hand your name over to people who do own the IP.
As of 4 years ago, the microsoft policy on pirated games was thus, the 360 will report games missing certian files, which happens when you pirate them. there is incription on the consoles within the software that cannot be copied. modding the system allows the games to play even if their missing those files, but the files are still gone.
YOu get approached by a microsoft legal representivie, who carries with him a list. the list will be all the games it's been reported you have copies of. they give you 30 days to present them with original copies of those games, as there is nothing wrong with making copies and using them to preserve the original disc ( proxies) as long as you own originals within 30 days, they don't care. if not, you're looking at about 100$ fine PER game that is listed as you having HAD a copy of, even if you no longer have the illeagal copy.

I know this becuase when I worked for gamestop, one of the store managers in our district had been burning copes of 360 games for himself from the invintory. the Microsoft rep served the court order demanding to see the originals AT HIS PLACE OF WORK while our DM was there.

For the record, yes, he got fired over it as well.

You say you got approxamately 20 games at 15$ a pop? Not a bad deal, Perhaps if i look hard enouygh I can find someone to steal Stateues from the sideshow warehouse so i can buy them at 5% of the retail price so i can get all the ones I want as copies. Sound underhanded? It should. It's illeagal. it's stealing, and it's wrong.

you spent close to 300$ on bootleg games. you could have gotten roughly 5-6 titles WIHOUT Purchasing stolen murchandise.
There are TONS of things I'd love to own, but If I can't afford them, I do without.

Why not? It's wrong, it's a crime, it can get you in serious trouble. and in the end it makes you look bad.

And for the record, As for illeagal mp3's on my system, NONE. I convert over my CD's to mp3 format if i want them on my system. I may download a few to listen to them, and if i like them, I'll go buy it.

We all have things we want that are out of our reach, that's what goals are for.

 

[Valfar]

Relax yo self! my system was flashed, i have live and never been kicked off..as i never played any titles i got before release day on it while i was hooked to live..I am not a "hardcore gamer" maybe i broke some hearts here but, no sense rivering over it right?..the video game industry can't be losing too much money..and i mean like $80 for a game is stupid...and well, i am in Canada and our exchange rate is ^^^^ and places like walmart are practically charging US prices in Canada..which is lame..call me a "thief" whatever..the amount of money i spend on Hot Toys monthly is insane so, having the option to have my system modded and cheap games..its really not a big deal for me..i know laws in the US are more strict on pirating anything really..not the case here.

You want some medals?, i am truly touched..goals? with how bad the economy is..the job losses..wake up man.

[plasmid303]

I hope we get a Jill figure that sports one of her classic outfits. We don't even know what she looks like in the game under that cloak and weird bird mask - it could be ugly.

 

[Starkiller]

I want RE1 1/6 figures of Jill and Chris.

 

[The ill Jedi]

I hope we get a Jill figure that sports one of her classic outfits...

I really hope we get one as well.

 

[lerath666]

By your logic in your earlier posts then, robbing a bank is perfectly acceptable if you need money as well. Stealing is stealing, period. Rationalize it however you like, it's still theft. and now you're doing it across continental lines? you think that makes it any better?
Do I want a medal? for doing the right thing? That seems a a bit.. well. dumb. Feel free to say what you like, one of the great freedoms of the web. It's your opinion that you've done nothing wrong, and that's fine, you're entitled to it. But that dosn't make it right.

and as far as how bad the economy is, it's called saving your money, and deciding what you can live without. by your own admittance you spend "TONS" Of money on Hot toys products, so it seems you're not as bad off as you first suggested. But even then... bah, I'm starting to preach.
* Gets off the soapbox*

With the mass of Chris Redfields body in this game, wonder what body Hot Toys will end up using..i say use the arnold body from the Dutch figure..should work well with his outfit, i forsee this figure being atleast $160US.

 

[lerath666]

depends on how much skin chris shows in the game. If he's not exposed a whole lot, I'd say they'll go for a regular TT like they did with leon. if he shows CONSIDERABLE skin, like a bare chest, then I'd say you're right.
I say 139-169 range, depending on the body.

 

[Valfar]

Yea, but he is build pretty good in this game..need something with more definition then a True Type...and those joints on the arms are ugly..i sense hot toys using rubber on the body for this one, no doubt..and to Lerath666..you put too much thought into this man seriously..people are dying in the world..innocent people getting mowed down..i care more about that then some copied games(which i was never selling nor copying) i bought from some asians..they should be locked up for copying..sued and what not..i paid still to own something..just like the people who buy casts of statues and other crap..whatever...i just don't really give in to some political debate over games..i play them on and off..my buying of them did not hurt anything..no one got shot..game industry still flourishes with all the rest of the lemmings pumping out hard earned cash for over priced things..hey..someone is still going to be taking the same route as i, its just not that big of a deal..pirating music is something that showed a big impact on the industry..i don't buy music made in North America..Finland,Sweden,Norway,Austria..most bands i like(ex. Moonsorrow,Summoning,Dargaard) are from there..so, if i want to buy a Moonsorrow album..i will pay lots because its imported..now and again i will buy a album to support a band that has a small but, very true fan base..but, like a U2 album or some other mainstream band or top 40..if i liked it..i would download it..they have enough money and don't make good music to boot IMO.

 

[lerath666]

Gonna stay outta the piracy thing now mate.. i see how little you know about the workings of the industry.. people do get hurt, financially.. the economy as well. it costs people their livelihood, and it's not cool. all i'm gonna say..

They MIGHt use the muscle body, but one big thng with hot toys is keeping production costs down. so if we NEVER see a bare chest with him, and he covers his arms at points, i do think they'l go truetype. If not, neet. i hope the arnold body has good articulation. if not.. he's then going to go on a truetype.

Articulation > asthetics for me, every time.

Articulation > asthetics for me, every time.

Usually I'd agree, but it really depends on the character. Chris has been shown in videos, screenshots, and posters in his "gun drawn, taking aim" stance, so I probably won't alter that pose much on the figure. In that regard the aesthetics are more important to me.

Of course that means I hope HT uses the muscle or arnie body. I would not want Chris to be the same size as my HT Leon figure when he's supposed to be as big as Krauser.

I could not agree more, i think they will go with a rubber muscle body for him and the partner(forget her name) shes probally going on the Hot Angel body or whatever..but, darker skin ofcourse..these could be real nice looking figures if the execution is thought out right.

 

[lerath666]

He's certianly more buff... but I donno if he's as big as Krauser

like i said, it all depends on how he appears in game. no matter what, I'll not turn away from him regardless. a zombie slayer is a zombie slayer

I wanna see Hot Toys make Jill valentine in BSAA costume
