Hot Toys Battle Angel Alita

[K1NG J0RDAN]

I'm definitely doing that upside down pose, just not sure if I want to do it now or wait for the second one to come later on.

For anyone that doesn't have FB, someone named SBen Toys just posted this. Kinda looks more like he's using a wig there instead of rooted hair, but even with that plastic hair it's still a huge improvement.

Looks great with the rooted hair. If I can't get that look, I was thinking of just spraying the the plastic hair piece with some gloss topcoat to at least make it look less flat.

This is looking so good that even I am tempted to pick one up despite simply being whelmed by the film. But part of me really wants to support the more unique releases like this and Hellboy.

I am team sculpted hair all the way but I agree that it wasnt done very well on this figure. They could have at least thrown in a second sculpted hair piece for some variety. I also thought the rooted hair they initially showed kinda worked on this figure since she is partly synthetic anyway.

That rooted hair looks great. I also tend to lean more towards sculpted hair though and with her hair not even being long, I feel like a really nice accurate sculpted hair on this sculpt would do wonders. I hope some third party makes a custom for it. Prime 1 was able to nail her hair in sculpted form.

I'm kinda over the whole rooted hair thing. I too would just like a new sculpted hair piece that's more accurate. Less dollish for this scale.

The actual hair looks amazing on stuff like the bust, though.

 

[davejames]

Yeah I would have much rather just had a better hair sculpt like we saw on the P1 statue, but compared to what we got the rooted hair does seem like a huge improvement.

 

[Underworld54]

Zero chance HT would produce rooter hair of that quality on a mass produced figure.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

The rooted does make the overall sculpt look better too. So if a sculpted hair piece in that shape and style was to be made, hell yeah.

 

[Brett Banner]

Is it just me or was the sculpted hair in the prototype photos waaaaay better and natural looking? Was just looking back at the pics. I get that they altered it to make accessing the PERS easier, but it is quite the downgrade.

Thanks for sharing! I've been following this thread to live vicariously through those who are getting this figure (I enjoyed the movie but didn't love it or the character design quite enough to preorder the figure). I liked the initial rooted hair prototype more than the sculpted hair version, but this photo with the hair mod might be the best I've seen the figure look. The sculpted hair (aside from looking flat) just doesn't do a good job of framing the head sculpt.

Fortunately(?), my usual retailers have sold out of preorders, which only leaves Sideshow as a viable option. So continuing to live vicariously! (but seriously, I'm much more tempted to buy the figure than I have been before)

Yeah looking back it had a slightly more layered look to it, and wasn't as completely flat on either side. And the strands were more pronounced at the bottom too.

That looks great! Will do the same when I get the figure

 

[darkknight]

I finally saw the movie a week ago on HBO and man I'm tempted to get 99!

Edit: just put her on flex pay and used a $25 promocode I have. Don't wanna pass this up.
