BLITZWAY - 1/6 Carlito's Way

[meth head]

Yes!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Beautiful job on the sculpt, from the pictures the head seem a tad big for the body, I never recall looking at Pacino and thinking he has a big head. I have the sculpt and it looks a tad too big for the True Type Regular....

Nah it's spot on, not too big at all

Quick question for Raymond F., and I apologize if you may have answered this already...what's you opinion of this now that there have been a lot of in hand pics? I know you werent too enthused with some if the in hand pics in the beginning, has your mind been changed with the recent pics that have been posted. Personally I have been pretty blown away with the newer pics and I'm still kind of shocked of the step up from their Scarface...this is leaps and bounds ahead of it, and I love their Scarface.

Me and Ray felt the same way when those first pics hit. When the first pics hit I was like WTF but the more pics I saw the more I warmed up to it. Now having it in hand I can say that it's beautiful and I'm really happy with it.

I still think that the proto paint had more realism and was a cut above in quality but the overall shock of the difference between the proto and production has worn off for me.


Sorry if you only wanted to hear Ray's take

I don't think the head is too big but you do have to futz the clothes down because in certain positions he looks neckless

From proto to production, nothing really changed imo.

Much like you get with HT, JC Hong will paint the proto and we will get a factory paint job. Nothing different here

The factory paint up on Carlito is as good if not better than anything I have had from HT. I am mega pleased with how this turned out! Oh and that tailoring is much much better than anything I have had from HT, that is a fact!

lol, im glad to hear yours as well...Ray's just stuck out in my head is all...glad to hear you like the figure im pretty stoked to get mine, especially after these new batch of pics.

I love the figure! Who would've thought that we'd get a Carlito Brigante MF'er to the max! The J.P. Morgan of the smack business!

I won't point out what the differences are between the production and the proto because that would come across like I'm picking it apart instead of simply illustrating the differences. I love the fig and couldn't be happier but there are clear differences in the paint.

I can't say that I see the same type of disparity in HT figs. I feel that the piece that I get in hand is always at least 95% identical to the proto pics. Except of course the rare occasion when the revamp the entire sculpt like that did with the DX10 and Avengers Thor.

But I guess the same can't be expected form BW as they are nowhere near the giant that HT has become.

Got this figure and unboxed it 30 minutes ago. It is superb! Spot on Carlito! Excellent sculpt, and the tailoring is very impressive, without the usual bulkiness. His overcoat is so neatly done. Just love it, love it, love it!
However, do wish they had different left hands. You only get one left hand, already attached, the rest are all right, so if you want to display him say holding a bottle and a knife - you can't.

the sculpt on this just continues to blow me away ~ simply amazing.

 

[ebor]

Mine awaits me at a LCS, fully paid for. Too busy to pick this suckah up. The photos are great until I find the time.

Hey bud funny you ask, I've been meaning to come in here and share my thoughts since I got him last weds. I opened him that night and its been the first time in years and years I was totally transported and engulfed in unpacking something. It truely felt like this was a luxury item, worth every penny of the 200 it cost, the box, etched logos on the inter packaging items like the plastic case that housed his spare shirt, the velvety texture to the stand, incredible. Incredible.

Now onto the figure. First off I still think the paint job is the weakest part to this figure, and its a a step down from the prototype, that's where the flaws end because the rest, just mind blowing. Really, on the verge of setting a whole new standard for 1/6. Almost unbelievable.

The likeness is stellar and the detail in the sculpt cannot be beat, we are seeng some of the best all time tailoring here right down do the stitching on the back of his jacket. Everything fts perfectly here. Everything, even his hidden necklace is an unfathomanle accomplishment in 1/6 realism. His bracelets have his name on them! His gun and watch are metal! Wow.

This is not only an epic leap up from Scarface it's one of the best 1/6 accomplishments ever seen. blitz way is here to stay and I for one welcome them with open arms,

I hand these out sparingly for a reason because its not often we see something like this, but paint flaws aside I just have to give this a 5/5. Charlie is a winner!

I can't wait to get this guy pretty soon. He is just sitting in my POL at BBTS ready to ship as soon as my TT reg bodies are in stock. That Pacino HS is one of the best I have ever seen in photos. I can only imagine how impressive it is in person.

 

[Raymond F.]

This thing wreaks qualitiy... Highlights a lot of flaws in other figures.

From the reviews on here, everyone loves this figure with some even calling it "The figure of the year." Can't wait to see it for myself.

I think it just may be. I'm as tough as they come with expectations, most around here will tell you that. And I love this. I'm sure you will too!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts! It seems like we are all in agreement for the most part this is a very special peice. I really love it a lot, for example I got bane the same day because it felt like obligation and I could care less about that damn thing,I haven't picked it up since weds but I can't put Carlito down!

Besides the paint not being as good as the proto I have to complain about only one left hand, otherwise??

Wait until you see the tailoring, flabbergasted... Really the best tailoring from a mass produced figure I've seen! The inside of the coat has a varnished paisley Etro looking pattern on it, the lining on the INSIDE of the gray shirt is also a special fabrication. This thing is out of control awesome. I'm obsessed!

That's no exaggeration. It's stunning. I'm talkin' straight out of the box, no futzing required, set it and forget it amazing.

Figure of the year? No doubt. Figure of the past three years? Maybe. It doesn't have the *** appeal of an Iron Monger or something equally as extravagant/popular but for sheer execution and similarity to the source material? I can't think of a single figure that comes close.

Believe the hype.

 

[olbertfrog]

i can only join the wave of raving reviews about this figure.
This is my first "guy in a suit" kind of figure and i think i'm spoiled now.
The quality of the figure is off the charts.
The tailoring work is amazing, right out of the box it shines without futzing.
Surprised that the coat is not wired tho.
The hs is spot on but i feel the look should be more intense, and the skin a bit less pale.
I just love the packaging, like raymond said it feel like a luxury item.
If you're on the fence just pull the trigger or youll regret it later.
Cant wait to see what Blitzway have in store next!
