Dark Toys 1/6 Rick Deckard

[kam veitch]

Thats belt and holster is gonna desintegrate anyminute. Had one like that and had to change it.

The blaster is on the weak side, too. But it's decent.

Here's a comparison with Supermad's. I think the grips are better on the Dark Toys', which has crisper paint app but has a strange gloss patina all over it. And it's also the 2049 version.

All of this just to show off my 2049 Tomenosuke, for comparison with the "real deal"

Show Off!

In the hands of a better painter that sculpt could work. The features are there, they just need bringing out.

I know I should wait for more pics but I just hope this is a worthy purchase , I don't want to feel like I could have bought an HT Star Wars figure instead and kick myself . I suppose I could sell it and get some of my money back if I don't like it.

This HS is completely serviceable! Pretty good likeness to Ford.

That "Rick" stand is outrageous. What are you all going to use? I am trying to find a suitable stand.

I am sure we can convince Coco to do custom stands for this! I have one coming for Mad Max (replacing Premier Toys stand)

I was thinking something similar to what I made for Rorschach would work for Deckard but I’m open to suggestions if anybody has some display stand ideas.

I'm in agreement with most of you that the sculpt is actually good underneath that paint app. A repaint should really shine.

last year or two, I picked up a custom base/stand on ebay for my custom Deckard. It looks fantastic and definitely better than the one that comes with this figure.

ow really - nice. Do you happen to have a link for the Max stand?

 

[OmarColeccionador]

The sculpt seems to be like those soft/ squishy plastic heads that black box used on their james bond line

I have the same stand in my display for over a year now,, empty, waiting for this figure. It's a great stand.

Unfortunately for my shelf space, I hate printed stands. And I adore diorama stands. So I am just looking out to find some street/roof/generic sci-fi stands that could work out.

Has anyone else heard anything about this from TNS? They haven't responded to my inquiry about my preorder. I seriously hope they didn't cancel it for some reason.

They sent me a final invoice for the remaining cost last week, with a February 7th deadline. No mention whether these were in stock or merely expected any day now. I'm really hoping mine ships out before Chinese New Year.

Also did some custom display to my Deckard some months ago.

By the way, have the invoice pending on Giantoy for this Dark Toys figure, and I'm still on the fence about it to be honest. Bought mostly for the accessories and eventually the sculpt (if it was at least close to Buffy's), but I'm not totally sold yet.

TNS got back to me this morning, invoice and all. They stated it was in stock.

I remember years ago, board member by the name of Spenser offered a scaled replica of the Frank Lloyd Wright wall paneling present in Deckard's apartment. That would be a nice display setting.

 

[dantes2501]

Interesting suggestion. I am sure there are hundreds of 3D files to print out there, but in the meantime I found these concrete tiles. They are officially licensed even though the texture isn't that great... They are 1/12, but they could work.

There ya go. Those actually could be a step in the right direction. Nice find.

A while back I bought a 1/6 scale 3D printed Ennis tile and made some resin copies for my own use:

I would like some "plain" Ennis house tiles as well, so I can create an apartment wall backdrop.
