Deadpool & Wolverine - 1/6th scale Human Torch Collectible Figure

[Johnny Utah]

I had that internal click when I first saw it. 'That's a miss.'

Scrolling through the pics, it didn't get better.

How/Why in the world is this figure $305? Because of plastic fire effects? I bet they all attach by magnets. Magnets must be getting pretty expensive these days.

Looks pretty cool, but I still haven't even seen the movie yet. Odd he has like cargo pants on. I'm sure his suit is fireproof, but I hope whatever he stores in those big pants pockets don't melt....

This is not for me, but glad for those that want this. Probably a better Human Torch than what we'll see in the upcoming FF movie.

I'd much prefer a figure from the first FF movie. He was so good in it, and I loved that Toybiz toyline.

So they're doing cosplayers now? Can't wait for the fat Jedi kid or that hot Twi'lek I saw last convention.

Well, yeah. Look at that insipid, Artisan Imposter Joker they put together.

JC's damage control photos. Almost looks like a different figure.

Actually looks worse here than the announcement photos, which is shocking considering it tends to be the opposite with JC's sculpt photos.

Big miss on this one. Facial structure is all kinds of wrong. I see David Beckham more than anyone else.

What I wouldn't give to be in the meeting at HT discussing the fallout from Torchgate.

Whoah, deep cut

I like the idea of having this character but the sculpt needs to improve.

Evans’ retirement fund

Could make for a great Frank Grillo sculpt (who should've been Punisher btw, not Bernthal).

 

[Turtle882]

That is James Remar to me.

Not feeling it. C'mon, Brown Wolvie!

 

[choombaz]

This looks nothing like Evans but when I ran one of the images though FacecheckID it came back with Evans so what do I know over AI?

 

[ironwez20]

why did they make him look...older?

Are you going to learn Cantonese first?

 

[Johnny Utah]

I already speak it so it wouldn't be an issue.

I speak Can'tonese...because I can't get myself to buy this or 75% of what HT puts out there.

I am usually with you on these @Gipetto0812 but when I first saw this on Instagram this morning I would never have recognized Evans in the sculpt if I hadn't seen the movie and recognized the cameo. I will say, as I almost always do, that this will probably look great at 1/6 scale admiring your shelf from a few feet away versus a super high resolution blown up photo that might have some lens distortion. Not a figure I want or need but I hope this turns out great for those who are all in on this.

It’s a goodun.

But I’m with the majority here.
My first exposure to this was scrolling insta and seeing jc Hong post the sculpt; I had absolutely no idea who I was looking at.

When it’s on the body, it has that context to inform who it’s meant to be. I wonder how many figures I’d deem terrible if I was shown the sculpt in isolation first with no additional information.

To me, this looks like the love child of John Krasinski and Clint Eastwood.

I definitely hear what you guys are saying and understand I'm in the very small minority (and so far, only one on the board it seems) to be fine with the sculpt.

That said, I'm not getting this anyway so it doesn't bother me one way or the other just think it's funny is all.

It's been a long fascination of mine how people see things so differently, myself included. I'm not getting it either and wouldn't be even it the likeness were spot-on.

 

[Hologram AI]

Not getting this figure either. Just shocking to see since even their Winter Soldier has an instant Evan's look to it that this one severely lacks.

I do dig the flame effects though. Kind of a bummer to see them go to a figure that I have no interest on. Can't say I wouldn't be somewhat tempted by an 05 Human Torch with those but I doubt I would have indulged either way.
