1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Captain Marvel

[troy_story]

I've always liked her... and I couldn't picture anyone else more suited to being cast as Captain Marvel.

Also, I feel that smiling sculpts severely limit the pose-ability options of a figure. I'd much rather a battle looking face/or a determined face over a happy one.

Still think her outfit will crease

 

[davejames]

Of course it will, but it's a leather outfit so it's only natural that there would be some, and there were plenty of creases in the movie costume as well. It was only the CG'd Endgame outfit that looked totally smooth on her.

 

[MedievaL]

Not sure where I read that the costume for this figure is more durable than the Iron Spidey in the sense creases are not as easily formed. Remains to be seen if this is true.

Saw this review. I like the camera work he did for her

Doing smiling sculpts must be harder for hot toys. They don't do it often if ever.

Ah, good catch, it appears to be so.

Clearlllyyy you must have edited these. According to these forums Larson can't show emotion.

Lol, I thought she was not only stern in the film, but also equally or more expressive, in my opinion.

I feel like we need an unboxing video from Zurdo when this arrives...although I fear we may need a medical team on-hand to assist...

True, although it seems that quite a few people have switched to the pro-Larson team lately. I'm not sure why...

I think this might have to do with it.

Captain Marvel cleans up nicely when she's not in her super suit lol

Agreed! I thought se did a fantastic job in the role.

Yes I also agree, no doubt a battle/serious face is a go-to, however for me I'd also like an additional smiling sculpt included, but then aagin I'd want as many things pertaining to the character as possible lol

Good to hear, I'd really like to achieve a dynamic flying pose!

My DX figure has been held in US customs for 4 days now... freaking annoying, lol.

It's emanating a strange energy that they're trying to identify if it's a danger or not.....

Right now I'm picturing some customs agent playing with your CM and an Armored Thanos similar to Rick Moranis/Dark Helmet in Spaceballs....lol

I'm really baffled by the lack of torso articulation this seems to have. I can understand why that would happen with something like IW Thor given the lights in the chest, but this one shouldn't have that issue. I wonder if they were simply trying to prevent some unsightly bunching of the outfit whenever you bend it over or twist it to the side?

I think how the suit has separate vertical layers of material along the front & back of the torso is what is restricting the torso articulation (assuming HT gave her any at all). Justin touches on it briefly in his review:

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Justin's video is hilarious, as much praise as he gives most Hot Toys releases...
His first big critique comes in the form of bashing Goose, lol!

 

[otheradam]

I saw a review where they attempt to bend the torso area and it basically does not move at all so... Justin's reviews are pretty useless unless you just want to see what the figure looks like in hand and in a museum pose.

 

[guyver1]

I like Justin?s reviews but he doesn?t go over articulation

This guy did a better job

Some screenshots I made of the review

G'AAAHHHHH these reviews make me EVEN MOREEEEEE EXCITED FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[guyver1]

He said the arms are super strong so she can support the effects





Now that?s America?s A$$

Mine too- got processed at JFK airport on Sunday and been sitting at Customs since then (CM is coming via EMS from Hong Kong)

He does point out the restrictions and tries to articulate it a little, but clearly isn't someone who goes for extreme poses with his figures. And from what I see I have to agree it's a fantastic looking figure even with the limitations, and one that could still be put in some cool poses with a bit of creativity (if you want to turn the head more, for instance, just heat up and soften the hair a little first).
