Enterbay HD: 1/4 scale Rambo III

[MaulFan]

Feels like removing a 1/6 head. Just slowly pull it out of the ball joint socket.

Also the adams apple on the neck is more noticable once the head is off and it looks so cool.

Oh and on the elbow, Enterbay kinda sculpted the wrinkles people have on the elbow.. that was a minor thing i thought was kinda neat. What can i say, i'm easily impressed.

Cuz being a total _______ is the definition of maturity.

Looks good to me, better than anything the HT Rambos or even the new HT muscle bodies can do.

Great shots there, shoulder joints look fine in good HD photos.

It always amazes me the things people find here to worry about. This is way people make fun of collectors, and the movie accurate perfectionist, prime example is the films The 40 year old Virgin and Step Brothers.

^^This, but also...

What's your ____ing problem what I want to do with my figure?

^^This.

The sad part of all of this is the guys response.

"What's your Fuc!ing problem with what I want to do with my figure"

Sorry but that's not the response of a mature educated adult.

While you do have a point in the first post I quoted, it's the wrong situation. MaulFan's response was completely justified. And I wouldn't say there was anything wrong with what he originally asked -- because that's what it was: a simple question. He wasn't criticizing someone else for not having the necklace on while the figure was shirtless, he was asking if it was easy to remove so he could do it.

I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about OCD and pedantry giving collectors a bad name, but it only applies when collectors are being ___holes about it to other people. MaulFan didn't do anything like that.

If no modding was done to achieve this pose... hot damn. I, for one, am glad those shoulder joints are there.

These pictures looks awesome. And what an amazing likeness. Now ship it already, EB!

 

[Rotfish]

Did anyone who ordered it on launch day get a shipping notice?

I don't think there is, from early shots, the shoulder joint would allow that pose and the laft arm probably has the two halves awkwardly twisted a little to make it work, but not so bad it ruins it all. You couldn't even do that much with any HT figure, the posability on this is shaping up to more than I've ever had to work with on a Rambo figure.

I ordered probably in the first 10 minutes it went up. I was in FB right when EB put it up for pre order. No shipping notice yet. Hopefully soon!

Good to know. I will say the left arm looks impossibly flexed in that picture, almost as if it was scupted to hold the arrow. It just doesn't seem like the joint can bend that much. Then again the hand is posed a little far from his body, so it maybe it's awkward from other angles.

Huh. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll have something.

Blade, where's that art from in your avatar?

I need to find something to turn into a blue light, still wish EB'd made one, it's a funny accessory to add.

As always

I think Maul's response was justified, and its not often you see him react like that so based on that alone I would think he must have good reason without even seeing what he was reacting to. Anyway, sorry for bringing it back up again when you chaps are trying to quickly move on from it

 

[COSMOSTARX]

lol ok

so there's my answer, the ready shot is possible.

Blade, where's that art from in your avatar?

I Googled "Rambo," set it to bring up images that are 1920x1080, and found these three paintings, each for the original movies. Great wallpaper material, but I'll be updating the avatar and sig once I get doll Rambo in-hand.

 

[MaulFan]

Thanks, I'd only seen the First Blood one. I too will have something new when I get this figure.

Fighting about collectibles on the internet is truly moronic, but I had to laugh when I read Blade3327's response about pedantry and OCD. HT Predator threads, anyone??? Stang sucks but they're cool and I'll be buying them... Accuracy>accuracy>accuracy>OCD>OCD>OCD...blah, blah, blah... WTF?

But anyway... this figure has turned into an easy pass. . . it's just not worth the dough when were talking about sculpted shoelaces, an ugly body with extremely limited articulation, a physique that doesn't look like Stallone in the movie, and a sculpt and paint apps that only resembles the proto pics we were shown.

Never buy anything Enterbay until you see in hand pics, IMO. EB just photoshop everything to generate hype and fool people into thinking they're getting something much better than they actually are. The MIB sculpts and paint apps looked waaaaaaaay better in the promo pics than the production pieces... Anyway, I expected a LOT more from 1/4 scale figures than what EB are bringing to the table. If HT doesn't wow me then I'll be passing on their 1/4 stuff, too.

 

[breakersrevenge]

OCD then..

 

[breakersrevenge]

Can't access Bill's blog anymore to get the full size picture, but he's got a shot up from someone of Rambo in a shooting bow pose, would love to see it bigger to see how they did it and if it looks as nice as the thumbnail.

I respect your opinion, I've had bad experiences with EB's Bruce Lee GOD, but I wouldn't judge doll Rambo too soon. Hopefully it's really come out good. I swear I'm going to post comment and pics when I get him
