Well Hot Toys have stuffed up here, the voice is nothing like the original movie.

I keep saying, these stupid gimmicks like sound clips/die cast are crap. Play crappy sounds once, remove the batteries, never play them again. It's heavy, so what? Just sitting in a display case.

Just gimmicks to up the prices for the credulous.

looks good but god please dont be rubber dome I just even get the point of using rubber, it should be speaker mesh or something.

 

[Eisselmann]

Erm... an ED209 with an ASIAN accent????
Why didn't they ask me, I could have provided a cheesy german one.

Guys, look at the edge of the rubber dome.
Looks... not so high quality imo.
But the hoses and wires and metallic painting do!
Wow!

 

[Yoshi]

OMG confirmed it's a rubber dome.

 

[Eisselmann]

OMG confirmed it's a rubber dome.

Meeeh

OMG confirmed it's a rubber dome.

Could it actually be polyurethane like the Hulk skin? That will not deteriorate. (Hoping that's what they actually used.)

 

[Ash Housewares]

The voice is so bad. Also the dome looks like crud. I have the original and the dome is gone. Really hope it doesn't happen again.

 

[Eisselmann]

The wires on the cannons are missing again... heck, even NECA got that right!

But the voice.... Ugh.
It's like the said accident.
It's nasty but you can't stop listening to it.

What's up with the chinese english accent? lol! They should have recorded the audio from the bluray disc instead. Horrible audio because of the accent IMO.

Yup.
Embarrassing!

I think its not yet too late for us to request HT to change it before it gets worldwide release. It happened with other releases. We just have to bombard the HT page with requests.

 

[Eisselmann]

That thing is produced!
I think no chance to get the voice changed.

But again a good example for Hot Toys to involve their customers and fans more into the production process or at least improve their communication with them!!!

 

[Rorywan]

Even with the dodgy voice and the rubber dome. It looks ****ing amazing IMO.
The articulation is amazing.

 

[Mr Walker]

No, really, people are worried about the voice? Even were it spot on, how many times were you ever going to use it? 10?

Step 1. Remove cheaparse batteries.

Ste 2. Throw cheaparse batteries away.

Step 3. Pose figure.

Are they really going to make another rubber dome that deteriorates? I've gotta have hope that they'll use a different type of rubber that won't deteriorate.

Yep, that's true! ^^

But how do you guys think about the strangely flat shape of the dome?
Somehow it really bothers me.

 

[EndoSickness]

Well...maybe I get trashed for this, but I imagined the accent to be MUCH worse.
This is pretty alright.
Maybe they decided it was better to re-record them, because the sounds were clearer then the voice, or to give it kind of a distinguished feel/sound.
Dunno, but I don´t find it THAT bad.

 

[Eisselmann]

Yes, it could be worse!
But hey, this is one of the most bad *** robots ever invented and they give him an ASIAN accent instead of simply asking an american guy for example over at SSC??????
Unacceptable!
