Dark Toys 1/6 Rick Deckard

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Mine departed the same day, so either it was on a slower airplane, or Belgian customs is still sobering up from their Halloween party… . 1st November is a holiday here, perhaps that has got to do with it.

The pilot could've put yours in his pocket, and dropped it off with a little parachute on the way over.

I bet there's a postman out on his bicycle right now searching the fields for it.

Mine has cleared customs and now showing to be in the Garden State...

All good, it arrived at ‘destination hub’ this morning, where ever that is.

 

[ArtDamage]

Oooh mines in the state. So couple more days tops probably.

 

[kyekye]

Got mine delivered! I totally forgot I replace the body and had neck cutout!
I'll have to remove the neck again, I guess..

The sculpt paint apps definitely looks better than the stock one.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Much better. And the plastic too. What an odd choice for DT to go for a wax like, translucent material. Must have been cheaper or something.

I wonder, how are these knock offs produced? I can’t imagine people in a factory actually hand painting these, or do they? At that price? Either they are way too cheap, or Hot Toys and the like are too expensive.
But ok, HT has the R&D cost, so they should cost more.

 

[ArtDamage]

Good to see the latest batch still looks great

 

[Wor-Gar]

Mine should be here today...

Looking forward to your pics and opinion.

Looking forward to your pics and opinion.

It is a really good sculpt. And a very clean recast. Much better paint.

The skin tone, lighter eyebrows, darker hair, slightly pinkish lips and lighter eyes all enhance the realism of the sculpt -- which looks a lot better than the original DT.

The skin is also paler than it reads in my photos which is more in keeping with Deckard's actual pale skin -- not much sunshine in 2019 Los Angeles. But he has a nice 5 o'clock shadow for some variance. There's a little spill of the darker edge of the iris into the blue-gray part of the iris but you need a magnifying glass to see this.

For $28, this is an excellent purchase!!!

I got mine as well. I bought two, from two different eBay vendors, and they’re both identical. Same packaging as well. They must get them from the same supplier.

I think this is a steal for the price. Hopefully who ever is making these does other head sculpts.

All good, it arrived at ‘destination hub’ this morning, where ever that is.

Mine's been at that status since Tuesday.

The last times I had SpeedPAK deliveries, which was during the bad days of Covid, I emailed Orange Connex and asked for the corresponding Royal Mail tracking number.

I did the same thing this morning, and they came back with a number fourteen minutes later!

It's not being handed over to Royal Mail though, but Evri (who used to be known as Hermes).

But all that tracking shows since 28th October is "We're expecting it".

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Good tip, I’ll try that too.

Impatient me has asked the shoe-vendor when the shoes will be back in stock. It could be up to 20 days!!

No sign of my head arriving yet, but my shoes have...

these shoes are about to go up for $50 with all the people asking

I'm afraid of that too.

Impatience is the collector's worst enemy.

Trying to get that Bladerunner lighting look...
