BLITZWAY - 1/6 Carlito's Way

[Raymond F.]

In my opinion as far as realism and sculpts, paint and even tailoring all goes to Enterbay these days. Hot toys fanboy not in the slightest I might be their biggest critic. 2 years ago hot toys was tops I liked Luke Skywalker and jack sparrow this last year. That's about it.

Hot toys has taken a step back but they run circles around this IMO. Hot toys two years ago was unbeatable

You high boy ?

Not the slightest their paint aps and realism of sculpts even tailoring destroyed what they are doing now. There are some exceptions of course but by in large quantity has curbed quality for hot toys.

Stuff is still amazing but they peaked a couple years back.

This looks amazing so much better than their scarface, enterbay are the best in my eyes atm, but just got bane last week restored my faith in hot toys until I seen that terrible tony stark head for iron man 3, but this fig from blitzway really does it for me love Pacino love the film love the fig

I definitely agree its a mega step up from scarface. Mega step up, big step down from the proto.

Blitzway is more than welcome in my eyes two solid releases out of the gate much improved on second release. Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Corleone ? If not Pacino, has to be a licensed de Niro

F__k you guys have super high standards!!!

could it just be the lighting? im not on FB so the only pics ive seen are the ones posted in this thread so i could have missed other pics.

Yea I hope its lighting but I'm not optimistic about that. These are pretty well taken pics but who knows. And these are the only pics that I've seen saw far also




Gotta agree with Ray to a point. HT has stepped back here and there and has stepped forward too. Some of their awesome figures end up suffering from QC issues so they lose points there. Their paint, clothes and accessories are always awesome. But They missed the mark on likeness a lot recently: DX10, Cap's Evan sculpt, Luke, DX12 cowl & mouth pieces (Thanks Robbie!). Upcoming Thor and Stark is.....

Oh god, here we go.

We have only seen a few in-hand pics and you're already claiming it's a "big step down from the proto."

You're not wrong... From what we've seen so far that is, lighting can make a difference the clothes definitely looked better in the prototype that much is for sure, the tie especially is evident.

Enterbay seems to be putting out good products. They've got a lot of cool licenses that are proving to be very popular, but I just wonder if they can step up in QC the way HT needs to in quality.

I feel that Hot Toys has become too comfortable with their spot at the top. When they put the work into something, it shows. The new DX Joker, for instance, seems like a return to form, but I think that part of the problem is the approach. Don't get me wrong, I love the variety of stuff they're putting out, but I feel that, when they were just getting big, while their releases weren't few and far between, they were a lot fewer in number than today, but the quality was consistently great. Now, it seems like, with every release, you've got to throw some salt over your shoulder, cross your fingers, and hop around backwards in the hopes that this is a DX 11 quality figure and not a DX 12.

Easy fellas. Ray is really picky and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

[snoop101]

You're right there isn't. But I think he should wait unitl we see more pictures before passsing judgment and saying things like "big step down from the proto." This is only Blitzways second figure.

 

[PopCultKid]

I said that too. I was the first to say it. We have the right to be picky and disappointed if the final didn't live up to the proto. Those pics are pretty damn good quality wise so IDK what else there may be left to see. It's very clear to see thru these pics the swing from proto to final (as far as the paint, shirt & tie),but who knows. Maybe different lighting may change things up

 

[Voorhees27]

One set of pics and the inevitable ensues. Nothing wrong with the nitpicks but no offense to the photos, they ain't that great.

 

[Raymond F.]

Yup I said just that. Just above. too early to judge paint etc from the first set of pics. I concluded effectively in agreeance with a previous post the tie took a bit of a hit. I'm less bothered with the shirt. Loving the coat still.

I give praise as hard ad I give criticism too. I get paid to be highly critical of aesthetics, i do it for a living all day long so I do have high standards that sometimes, or most times, rub off on my hobbies! but these things cost this much for a reason afterall.

Very excited for the carlito figure tho.

 

[turbo.VS.ozone]

Does Blitzway have issues with sculpt size. I always felt like the scarface sculpt was a bit undersized and I hope that isn't the case for Carlito.

 

[olbertfrog]

Yep a few pics and the figure is doomed... ^^!
I'll wait for more pics in hands before passing such judgement.
But it looks quite positive so far

This came out fantastic , so will enterbay release two versions in a few months to rival Blitzway ?.
