Will someone come up with tutorial to lighten the mustache already?? Damn it

Fruitless endeavor with this petition. Hot Toys will continue to raise prices, and drop quality no matter how many sign some petition.

Correct, following the Sideshow business model to a T

I honestly don't see much of a difference between the prototype and the final product. The softening of the details and changes in paint apps is to be expected--it's the same with most of their other figures. I agree that the mustache is much much more pronounced in the final piece and makes a significant difference in the overall likeness. But I always saw problems in the likeness to begin with in the proto. That upper lip area was always a bit questionable--the mustache just accentuated it.

Anyway, I didn't buy because I never felt good about the sculpt and wasn't that enthused about the overall "look" of him in the black suit. I've got the Last Stand Wolverine and am pretty happy with him because despite the sculpt not being amazing, it's still pretty good and overall is a strong rendition of the character. He's got the hair, the angry intense look, and the X-uniform.

I agree with most that the best way to vote is with your wallet. Either don't buy him or return him. However, I think that HT and Sideshow tend to twist this around on us and claim that bad sales meant that there wasn't enough interest in the line/character and therefore will not be doing new figures. They never for one second admit that it was anything lacking on their end that caused that waning of interest.

I will say that just the action of creating the petition and hopefully getting a good amount of people to sign it may at the very least send a clear message that many were not happy with the final product.

Boom goes the dynamite! :

Y'all are acting like this sculpt is as bad as the Senor Stark sculpt we got with with the IM Mk 7 release, and nobody went petitioning that piece of crap!

Lol

No petition needed, just don't buy it if you don't like it. That's all.

Probably cause that was actually better in hand...

The problem here is, the lack of support for this petition is proof that its not needed. Not enough people think this sculpt is that bad. Some think its good. As stated before, just like almost every other HT release.

Lol @ an Iron Man fanboy trolling.

Stating the truth isn't trolling.

If you feel the Senor Stark head was well received by the majority of IM collectors you're sadly mistaken.

You mean Petition, NO?

Yankee is right. The señor stark sculpt was a disgrace. But it's not like you buy an iron man figure just for the stark sculpt.

Thread closed - if you wish to discuss this - there is a thread about the figure to discuss it in.
