Enterbay x Medicom Ultimate Unison ANH 1/6 Luke Skywalker

Wampa! Make me one and I'll be you're friend forever

 

[Natrix]

Not bugged. I'm one of those guys who bothers to take pics and post on here. I have noticed of late the amount of _____ing that takes place as soon as you post anything Enterbay and to a lesser degree Medicom related is just crazy. I like creative criticism. I'm pretty critical of new releases myself. But the random blind _____yness about one company or another just does my head in. Not specifically talking about this thread. The Enterbay GOD thread was just ridiculous for a while.

I mean, saying this looks like Hasbro. What's the point.
It doesnt bother me personally, but it does make me think twice about bothering to post my stuff on here.

I still don't understand why that makes a difference with not taking and putting pictures up. I post pictures all the time too. Collect what makes you happy but that doesn't mean that you have to go into a shell and not show pictures if there is negativity on an item. A lot of people rely on in hand pictures in the threads from owners and can make up their own minds on if it is something they want in their collection.

I can see why people are not sold on the sculpt, heck I am one of them but I also know that some figures likenesses do not photograph well and look better in hand. (Looking at the Hot Toys Nic Cage head with the Ghost Rider figure for example)

Each to their own mate.
I couldn't be bothered discussing this anymore.
I just don't like EB _____ing by HT fanboys. Or vice-versa.
It happens in every EB thread.

Let's move on.

 

[Rorywan]

But I haven't seen people "b*tching", in fact I've seen plenty of reasonable critique. Why others want to label that as "b*tching" is a mystery (unless it's just to make themselves feel better about their purchase). Now if others come along and actually post childish stuff for no reason, it's likely they are trolling in order to get a rise out of the people. Ignore those attention wh*res and be happy with your purchase. But don't classify all criticism of the sculpt as mindless b*tching or trolling. That's unfair.

I haven't. Check back a few pages, I posted on here before even ordering the set. I said then and I say now, this is madly overpriced, and the sculpt is off.

But "Jodie Foster & Hasbro" seriously? Give me a break.

To me it looks nothing like Mark Hammil. More like Jodi Foster meets Tom Cruise. I'd say it ain't even worth $30.

Sean

Sabre is only half lit? How wretched ... This figure equate to the old releases from Hasbro and nothing more.

Read your posts I replied to. Be specific about who was "b*tching" and don't hint that all critique is b*tching.

Also, I explained that any aggressive critique, for lack of a better phrase, may be due to the fact superior sculpts are now common. That coupled with this product's abnormally high price tag makes people wonder if they stepped back in time 10 years, quality wise. To me this is of the quality of the SciFi Metropolis Lost in Space sculpts, maybe less (which you can get for about $30).

But "Jodie Foster & Hasbro" seriously? Give me a break.

I never compared it to Hasbro and IMO it's clearly not worth $150- no more than $30 in my book (how is that crazy?!). Again, lumping all critique together was just what I was addressing.

But it does look like Jodi Foster and Tom Cruise's love child (if that were possible).

Looks decent i will get this when the price drops for sure.

Can i see some more straight on HS shots? (also, put this sucka in some dynamic poses, you got a RAH body to use there ) Definitely growing on me.

 

[jedijim3002]

Great pics guys. Keep them coming. I want this bad. But no funds. Anyone selling one cheap? LOL

 

[noisetrigger]

I guess it can't be helped that EB and Medicom do kinda suck these days and criticism is unavoidable. Let's be fair, even HT figs get a lot of flack, sometimes unfairly so because people now have a very high standard (sometimes unrealistic) when it comes to HT (look at the Spidey thread in the beginning, if HT didn't give fabric boots, it will be hell now in that thread).

Rorywan, despite you saying you are not, you do come across as a little defensive about EB sometimes, especially in the GOD thread.

Take it from someone who actually sells these stuff for a living, even the most ardent of BL fans (meaning they will collect anything BL) tells me that EB has really lost the plot with GOD.

I might criticized EB here but never in front of a customers (cause that will be bad business). In fact I have to face daily obstacle is selling an EB product because the fact is, they have disappointed collectors time and time again and even the most ardent of EB supporters are really skeptical these days.

I mean people will PO a HT product without a second though because they know what to expect from the final product. With EB, everyone wants to have a look at the actual thing first because they just can't trust EB anymore to deliver a great product.

The problem here has nothing to do with EB actually dropping in quality but more like they are not improving in quality quick enough to justify their pricing anymore.

So don't make it sound like everyone is a HT fanboy and EB and Medi are being unfairly treated here.

Awesome pics Rory, thanks a lot!
While I think it's not a very good likeness of Hamill, I think it's a very cool figure. Way too expensive, but we've been over that ad nauseam.

 

[Rorywan]

I own 3 EB figures, this is the third. I own around 35 HT figures. Several Medicom releases, and I look forward to Bllitzway's Scarface and whatever else they chose to offer us.

I was one of the lucky ones with the EB GOD set and got one with no major QC issues. But as soon as I posted pics of that over on that thread I was accused of being an EB fanboy. And here we go again! I would just like to see reasonable fair critiques which are unbiased. If someone/anyone goes to the bother of posting pics then I would expect at the very least an intelligent discussion of the release IMO.

There are major QC issues with several recent HT releases yet it's barely mentioned. EB have their problems but get bashed for the same problems. Stained bodies, broken accessories etc. But when anyone says that they get jumped on. And I just think that's ridiculous.

I started out in this thread saying the likeness of Luke is off and the cost is really silly. So how is that EB defensive?
Sorry, but saying something like this is worth "30$" is beyond belief. Again.. "Hasbro"? Really?

The lightsabre alone is worth that.

That's not a healthy or intelligent critique of anything. It's dumb and aggressive. People like to b.i.t.c.h and then take the higher ground, trying to act as if they are being mature in their comments.

Go back and read the first post I made with pics. I said I was posting against my better judgement, because some folk genuinely wanted to see pics. But I knew I would end up in a discussion like this that I'm not interested in pursuing. Well I should have listened to myself! Life is too short for this BS. Wait for people to post more pics, then _____ about them and rip it to shreds. Makes for a good thread that!
Anyone else who is going to post pics of their figure be warned.
You must post pics of your purchase and also say its ____ at the same time. Be warned.

You like it: You buy it.
You don't: Don't.

Over to you guys...

 

[Wanderer]

Well said mate. The needless hate against certain companies beggers belief. I do pity the nerds who have nothing better to do with their little lives other than try to ruin the enjoyment of others...

 

[Scarlet]

Excellent posts on the last two.

 

[jedijim3002]

Here here!

 

[abake]

Rory, could you post pics of EB/Medi Luke next to other figures? Just want to get a feel for its size.
Thanks!

Me saying that the figure is worth about $30, more in line with the SciFi Metropolis 'Lost in Space' figures (as they are about the same quality), is "aggressive" and "dumb"?

Why are you so rude? I never said anything rude to you or out-of-line in regards to this product. I simply said it looked nothing like Hamill and explained when you couldn't let my critique stand and continually replied implying any critique was crazy and all equal (reasonable and unreasonable, of which I have yet to see examples).

I'm sorry but the defensiveness and oversensitivity of mild critique of this figure is just plain silly. It's a friggen toy, for god's sake. Get over it.

If you like it, great, if you don't, great. But stop condemning people who don't like it by misrepresenting what they said and calling them "dumb" and "aggressive".

Rory, could you post pics of EB/Medi Luke next to other figures? Just want to get a feel for its size.
Thanks!

Yes. Please more pics. Next to media 3po and any others you might have. I hope it's the same scale as the Jedi medi Luke. That would be perfect for 1/6 scale.

Abake and jedijim, I will post some over the next couple of days. I have a lot of work on at the moment! He seems to be in scale with the latest Medi 3PO, he is slightly taller than him, which looks about right. He is way out of scale with the old Medi Vader, which looks like dwarf next to him!

 

[karamazov80]

I'm not forgetting what he looks like. It's comments like this that keeps these threads, that you seem to hate, going forever.

The sculpt does not look that much like Hamill. Its not because we all went senile and forgot how Mark Hamill looks. It's because it's a poor sculpt. Now, the continued commentary is probably based on the fact that there are better sculpts out there, and this one seemed to be a failure to finally get a good Luke, and this piece is so absurdly high. It seems most people agree think along this line. If you want to believe it's a good sculpt, that's your option, and that's perfectly fine.

But I haven't seen people "b*tching", in fact I've seen plenty of reasonable critique. Why others want to label that as "b*tching" is a mystery (unless it's just to make themselves feel better about their purchase). Now if others come along and actually post childish stuff for no reason, it's likely they are trolling in order to get a rise out of the people.

If you don't mind, I'm gonna modify this post, taking out references to this specific figure, and make it my new signature.

Cool. Thanks man. When ever you get around to it. Medi Luke should be a hair shorter than c3po but if it has the same medi ankle posts I can adjust the height easier. Hamil was 5'7" and Daniels was 5'9". As long as the head sculpt it the same proportions as the medi Jedi Luke I'll be happy.
