Re: ENTERBAY - HD 1/4 The Dark Knight License thread
Yeah. I'm in no way insinuating that the EB 1/4 T-800 is a bad figure, or even this upcoming Joker for that matter. The T-800 is great. The clothes, the headsculpt, the "real" weapons, all of it.
I'll go on the record of saying that as a collectible action figure, the EB T-800 is better than the Hot Toys version even.
I'm just saying that the feel of it is not really something I particularly care for. It's hard to describe because you have to experience it in person (which was one of the reasons I bought the T-800 in the first place). I've used words like unwieldy, clunky, awkward but even those don't really cut it. This is probably a bad example but it's almost like a marionette puppet. It's by no means loose, in fact, the figure's body is quite rigid (except the slouching/rocking rubber torso/chest). It's just so tall and the limbs are long and sort of . . . unwieldy.
In the end 1/4 just isn't for me. You all will probably feel different. I will say this though, you've got to see it for yourselves. It's "worth" the experience of saying, yeah, I've held this sort of thing. Out of the box I was overwhelmed and joyed. Later, once I had it in a pose I liked, it sort of just stood there where it continues to stay. I'll admire it on display but I don't think I'll ever touch it again.
For me 1/6 is just more accessible and easier to collect. The perfect, traditional scale for a collectible action figure. Space, cost, content, 1/6 wins for me but 1/4 is still quite a sight to behold. I'm glad I got one instead of passing.
