[Blitzway] The Silence of the Lambs: Hannibal Lecter

[pjam]

Those unpainted sculpts were amazing.

Yup, which is why a number of folks (me included) are considering doing it justice with a repaint -- that, of course, is after some of us actually get to see this thing in hand. But it does seem the prod app loss from the proto is 30-35 percent, mostly in the detail, which is not good but consistent with some of their other releases, Durden for e.g.

Mine will ship in about 10 days so I'll certainly post pics in the New Year.

A repaint might be worth the extra money... the rest of the figure looks solid.

Got mine today. It’s all there. Just bad paint.

What is the verdict ? Would a good paint job
make a difference?

yelim did a nice paint one year ago, but I still prefer the eyes (iris) more up, so repaint is the way to go

A good paintjob always makes a difference. Even on excellent figures.

Too soon? We may see Raymond F's repaint before someone posts pics of this. Initial pics and vid reviews are way overdue.

Wonder how many guys are getting both or just
the Dolly version ? How does the Dolly look ?

Dolly version is more a statue imo, "white prison uniform" Hannibal has more options like an actionfigure. Both headsculpts seemed again too dark like Fightclub versions. found some pics here:

No repaint for me! Thanks for the pic link. First decent pics.

Best shot of the white outfit portrait so far, a bit flat in expression still but shows the overall head still has potential.

Crazy how BW has priced these at $289

 

[MaulFan]

Relative to Hot Toys pricing, cost seems to be most towards the chair/dolly accessories and the unique body parts.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I still find that seated pose interesting -- I wonder if he can sit more forward, more intense? Of course the expression is too placid.

I'd love to see the masked head (unmasked) on the seated figure.

 

[MaulFan]

Posing is as much a selling point of expression as paint, even with the more neutral head paint, a less loungy looking posture would go a long way.

The figure was essentially made to replicate this.

He looks comfortable in that chair, like he's ready to watch his favorite TV show on the food Network.

 

[dukefett]

It's too bad he basically has to do the opposite pose in the chair to achieve his feet touching the ground because of the chair height. I mean come on, what is with these companies? Does literally no one check this crap before making 1,000 of these things?

 

[Stanlore]

To achieve his feet touching the ground in the chair, his ass doesn’t touch the seat.
