Hot Toys and Sideshow Bodies: A Comparative Review

[screamingmetal]

Yeah Mace's head is more proportionate, so are the dead figures I have and SDCC Freddy. So Sideshow does get the head size right from time to time. Unfortunately, it's the exception rather than the rule.

JustinLuck: Have any photos of Sideshow SW figs with the HT body? Would love to see more pics.

One thing that SS body parts beat all the other companies are the hands. SS hands are very detailed and no other mass production company makes any that compare.

Yeah I guess if you like oversized detailed gorilla hands, then youre all set pal.

No body mentioned, but I think Medicom's human hands are very well sculpted.

Maybe it's my lack of experience with 1/6th scale figs but really I don't have any problems with SS bodies. They pretty much can meet all the posing options I want and the ones they don't I think it's more my lack of ability to get them where I want. The other bodies look nice but unless they can be made and keep SS in the same price market they are now I don't really care for any so called upgrade. The head and hands issue I really don't see at least on the last several. Luke had this issue some IMO but I haven't seen it on the rest. They all look normal when holding the lighstabers at least to my eyes.

That's a very good point!
Medicom hands have great sculpts. Too bad about the wrist joint.

Hi Josh,

While many poses can be achieved with the Sideshow body, there are some natural positions that are impossible. One such pose is raising the hand to the head. Neither of the two stances shown below are feasible with the current Sideshow body.

Great illustrations of what the HT bodies can do, JustinLuck.

Is that white collar shirt from Toy Presidents, or did it come from Elvis's wardrobe.
But I'm glad you're enjoying the bods you bought.

I don't know, or care to bash Medicoms nuts, but someone ought to stop beating their snake.

Nothing personal, but the name begs for it.

 

[Ven]

atleast I have a snake to beat.

 

[creecher]

Good onya Snake and by the way, that someone is me. I can only truly vouch for myself on this, despite publications stating everyone with one does it.
