Enterbay: GODFATHER

[plasmid303]

Yeah, I'm waiting for the reviews of the Enterbay figure. One aspect that photos can't describe is the articulation.

It wasn't until 2009 that I thought Enterbay and Hot Toys could be competitors or even rivals. Prior to this year, Enterbay had predominantly concentrated on martial arts characters. In the future I expect to see a lot of overlap in licenses (like Godfather and Prison Break) between the two companies. In terms of sheer output and number of licenses, Enterbay is still catching up to HT. They've got room to grow.

The only thing I wish Hot Toys would improve on now is their paint applications, which I think has been slipping lately. Like you mentioned, the Mark I Tony head looks nothing like the prototype. Same thing about the John Connor figure.

I was one of those who was pro Enterbay on this.I'm not affraid to admit when I'm wrong.This is a total Fail in my book.So heres the official Great Worm verdict (you need no others):

HOT TOYS GODFATHER > ENTERBAY TOADFATHER

enterbay wins.

I was wondering when you were gonna man up. Just joking, Shai.

Seriously, the HT GF has just gone way up in value, or will shortly. I just always thought the HT Sculpt was one of the best I've ever seen, and it is even better in hand IMO.

I hope the photographer of those pics was going for a "just out of the box" look.

He/she should have really futzed with the clothes. The Don looks like he slept in his clothes or pulled them out of the hamper.

Worst pics I've ever seen. Looks terrible.

Godfather 4 : A night on the vino.

I'd probably hold off on the final verdict until we see some better pics... these were pretty washed out. But either way, I've already got the HT version and don't plan on switching at this point.

That came out pretty bad,...likeness is clearly off,..he looks bloated,, the paint job is lacking too,.. and the junction of the neck and head showing up it's just horrible,.....

 

[AsGoodAsIt_Gittes]

Yeah, I would go with the Hot Toys Version. Enterbay makes it looks as though the Don hasn't gone to the bathroom in several weeks.

 

[siquisiri]

Those last pics are close enough for me to say.. Im glad I went with HT.

 

[plasmid303]

It's not bad by any means.

 

[noisetrigger]

You can still find the HT version. It's not like they are sold out or anything.

They were pretty much sold out in my part of the world, unless of course HT suddenly decides reissue them.

glad i went with HT better head sculpt,better chair ,better cat enterbay looks pretty big and we know HT body is better than EB , and most of all HOT TOYS is alot cheaper cost HT got this one ,,

 

[blakus939]

*crickets* Where are all these EB defenders again? Jks
I was actually anticipating some new pics but my lordy that looks terrible. Agree on the toad likeness. Why is he so bloated in the face and body? Sheesh that's big. And what happened to the funky paint apps, he looks notably much worser! The ill fitting suit and eyes are just the knife in the casket, what the hell happened EB? Was looking pretty ok up until those ^, i always thought the likeness at least was off, but now it's almost as if, 'what IS right with it'?!

 

[creecher]

Why, because you don't have one in hand to state a truly valid opinion. That goes for both of us.

What is right with it? About as much as what's right with The Hot Toys version. I just don't see the differences between the two as being that vast.

 

[Karnis]

I just don't see the differences between the two as being that vast.

Please excuse the lighting for the 1st & 2nd HT Godfather photo as it doesn't represent the skin tone accurately.

Ohhhh no no no, why are you talking out of your behind? How dare you say anything even remotely negative, you don't have one in hand! Don't even think about how you may not like it, you havn't got one in front of you, you aren't allowed!

If it's the same for both of us, then why mention it? You must be.....tasmanian or something, you just like disagreeing and arguing with people? Opinions are like behinds, we all have one. Why do you care what i think? Why do you have to 'shut down my UNvalid opinion'? If this forum was full of people who were only allowed to make judgement of figures they have infront of them, there would be 40 posts a day. The pics are high quality macro shots up close of an in hand piece. They look terrible. My 2c like it or lump it

You threw out the comment about crickets. Where are the defenders? Well here I am. I'm one. I have just as much right as you to say what I think, and, although I wasn't going to post till I had it in hand, you threw down the gauntlet. I felt the need to respond. Really, I am just repeating myself.

You really are a treat. I was not referring to you specifically, but as well as, the other Hot Toys fan boys. The judgements aren't about having to have a figure in front of you, but about being able to adequately judge between two figures, because of some photo's. Not ideal. Show me the figures side by side and make your informative opinion and I wouldn't have anything to say to tell you the error of your ways.

Where have I shut anyone down? You're responding now aren't you? You can talk. Please bend over further, I can't quite hear you. Talk? I meant rant. People like you, who pervert the meaning and intention of someone else posts, on this occasion mine, ought to be shut down. That hasn't happened has it? No. Your posts haven't been deleted have they? So get real. What the hell are you going off about?

I said my piece, that unless you have both, how are you really going to know what's what? Pics are worth what? Some good, some bad. They tell a thousand words as well as tell a thousand lies. Most people posting here have their Hot Toys Don, and aren't likely to get another. They don't have anything better to do than knock the opposition, just on what they happen to see or disregard in pics, as it fits their opinion. Side by side is the only true test.

You're happy with your Hot Toys Don aren't you? Why don't you stay happy? I don't care what you think. I think my previous response made that clear. I'm glad you at least care what I think. Well you must to have bothered responding, albeit in an overly excited manner.

Nice job putting some comparative pics together Karnis, but it just reinforces what I'm saying. Different lighting, different camera lens distortions, different angles. Put the two figures side by side, same lighting, same angles etc, and then some uniformity, at least, will be achieved.

Rick is grumpy today.

How about you? Did you get your ninja Chase? Happy or grumpy? I got one. Me happy. If I were grumpy I would have made mention of the dark bottom. Know what I mean?
