Asta, sounds like you are a little less thrilled by this figure in hand than many others. Were you just built up a bit too much for what it is?
The best parts are the clothes, which would be worth the total cost if you were putting parts together for a higher end custom.
The gun is a poor recast, but you only notice that up close, or especially when compared to Supermad's (which may itself have been the donor).
The sculpts have that unfinished look about them as though they missed a painting stage. That's really unusual for Redman as their paint apps are usually quite detailed, at least on the figures I have of theirs. If they hadn't cut corners here this would've been a bigger winner, as the recast of the Buffy sculpt came out well.
With lighting you can get away with leaving the sculpts as stock, though they still have that lacking quality about them.
The whisky bottle is effective, but it won't stand up because the base is uneven.
The Voight-Kampff machine is just a lump of cheap looking plastic.
This set is really about the clothes, but then they messed up the shirt collar pattern even though they had a perfectly good 'prototype' to copy. Overall, the outfit is a lot better than it might've been.
The sculpt paint is a lot worse than it should've been, so my verdict on the figure is that it's adequate, but not as outstanding as they could easily have made it.
