This, 100%.
Hmm, very peculiar. The Hot Toys Jedi Fett (if anything) has too long of a neck. At least the unaltered one I have does. Then again, there might be some play in how far up or down you can push the helmet. So there's a possibility mine isn't pushed down as far as it can go perhaps. I tried to upload a picture of mine, but I keep getting an "incorrect file extension" error message - only recently did that start to happen. And with these ESB pics, Fett's head is angled downwards.
The helmet is also too long faced, giving it an awkward look. Boba has a very lanky and craned neck in the films, rather than a thick short neck.
Again, my unaltered Hot Toys ROTJ Boba Fett doesn't in the slightest have a thick short neck. It is a long, thin neck. But I'll just chalk it up to you see blue and I see green. As in, everybody has a different perception. Speaking on the helmet, I never saw it being too long. It never crossed my mind until reading recent comments on that. I do see the vertical part of the visor being a bit too long. But I don't think it throws off the look of it really..as in making me say "it just looks too long." Nothing's perfect lol. But the kind of stuff that's being put out these days, I really have nothing to complain about. Even if I noticed an error or two, the sheer awe and brilliance of these miniature pieces of art far surpass any quibbles. I know it's a cliché now, but some collectors have become very spoiled and entitled. This minority has got to be the millennial collectors that I haven't been in it like the rest of us for 20+ years. We have gone through more than a few phases of technology with figures....and what they're cranking out now, I would have never dreamed of such realism. Something like the Toys McCoy Indy blew my f-ing mind in 1999. Now, comparing that to the Hot Toys Indy, it looks like a toy. Point is, I am so damn grateful for all of these shrunken down articulated actors. As much of a perfectionist and OCD as I am, for some reason with figures all I feel is gratitude.
I agree, we have our opinions and it’s ok to have them. I personally have never seen the 1/6 in hand, so my opinions may be invalid honestly. I only have the 1/4 and obviously it’s easier to make proportions look right on a bigger figure. And the 1/4 isn’t perfect either. In hand I think it looks pretty spot on, but when I take pictures of it something looks off, so that may be the case with the 1/6. Side note, the 1/4 is one of my favorite figures in my collection because of the costume layers and different materials. As far as I know, it’s like they shrunk down a movie costume, even the scuba belt that’s under the armor and can barely see. Ideally I’d like them to make a 1/4 ESB version, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. And yea, the fact that we can have miniature versions of what we see on a screen is amazing. I’m of the younger crowd, but still there was nothing like this when I was growing up. I’m 100% appreciative of what we have today from Hot Toys, Sideshow, etc. It’s really awesome.
There's a super easy way to put it on. All you have to do is hold the figure upside down. You can get those clips into those tabs soooo much easier that way.
