Dark Toys 1/6 Rick Deckard

[dantes2501]

It seems the headsculpt has been (re)recasted. There are several painted offerings on the bay. For 30 bucks I’m going to try my luck and see what I get.

Will post the results in a month or so

Can't resist getting some new shots of him whenever I'm photographing any other figure

Same here!

Always great to see this thread bumped with more pictures. Still super happy to have this figure in my collection.

Here's some pictures that show what the problem with this sculpt really is, apart from the paint application. As many noted before they used a very translucent plastic for the cast, and the result is that light gets through the paint. Here's what happens when you stick a 3000 lumens led inside the sculpt:

And here are some pictures of the bay sculpt. Looks better painted (but I bet the one I'll receive will look nothing like it) and cast in a more traditinal way:

eBay sculpt? The paint looks really good

Hong Kong Special -- Sith Deckard version.

What’s next? Chrome Deckard or Porcelain Deckard? Maybe Neon Deckard?!

It does look good. Looks like they have an even more detailed painted one up for sale too. All that said, it’s probably not going to look as good in hand but we shall see!

So I got one of those eBay sculpts, and I must say it looks quite good. He looks a little skinnier than the Dark Toys one, but next to each other it’s quite an improvement. Especially for me, since I truly cannot paint sculpts.

Mine is on the way. But to my eyes, that’s a HUGE improvement.

That looks very nice. Which version is that one from eBay? I see there's one priced at 60 but there's another for 120?

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Massive improvement. They sell these at various prices but they all use a similar image. I’d like to know which one this is as well.

Thanks! Damn that's a great price, the paint apps look excellent.

I just looked and saw various prices for the same sculpt (all with the same photos of the hand holding it at various angles).

I also went for the cheapest option. It was $37.78 shipped, and marked as the last one.

The next cheapest listing for the same sculpt is $53, and before your confirmation that you got the cheaper one I was wondering whether there would be a difference in quality between the options.

The one you got looks a massive improvement over the soft, translucent Black Box original.

EDIT:

From the price breakdown it was $28.49 + $2.99 postage ($31.48). The extra $6.30 was the VAT that Ebay charges up front.

That’s the same I got, but my total came out to 33.26. I hope these sculpts are somewhat consistent in quality so we can all upgrade the Dark Toys one.

That’s a steal at that price. Paint work looks great!

Dark Toys, yes, not Black Box! Black Box came into my head because some of the search results were their sculpts.

They have to be better than the Dark Toys. That was one of the worst sculpts I've ever received.

Too good to pass up based on your photos, so I just bought the last one. Hope its the same as the one you got.

I figure its best to get it now while the casting and paint are still good. Cheaper versions will follow.
