1/6 Hot Toys BvS: Dawn of Justice-Wonder Woman

[guyver1]

Great job on the poses and pics, and of course great job on the hair!!! I'm going to keep a tap on your pics for reference for when I finally pick up a Wonder Woman figure! Thanks for sharing.

This GIF inspired me with another of my crazy ideas

Fantastic pics/idea Guyver1!!!! Your pictures are inspiring for all who find enjoyment in image-documenting our 1/6 scale collection. If you feel comfortable answering: What hair product(s) do you use to bring your female figure's hair to life (in static and in movement poses)?

Dursocapjr, You're right. This figure does look remarkable! The angles of your photos, however, aren't quite right (to me). They're pointing a little too upward, which throws the photos off (again, to me).
Good work on her hair. I do really like this shot though!

Great movement in that hair, Guyver!

This is my first Hot Toys figure, and I'm pretty impressed by the quality. I didn't care for that hinky rope, though, so I made a new one from jewelry wire. It was a battle, and I needed to replace part of the strap, but I like it better. Here's a peek...

Thanks. Regarding the angle of photo(s), I always point my phone's camera slightly upwards when taking figure photos for 3 specific reasons: 1) my phone is the only camera I own (lol) - I don't have a nice camera for example, that can do creative things to pics, 2) I don't have any indoor light that allows for a quality pic, every picture I take inside comes out looking fuzzy so I can only take pictures when I have direct lighting outside and 3) my goal with all my Hot Toys pics (regardless of moving/posed or still/standing figure) is to bring out the "spark/stars" in the eyes that one will see when holding a HTS figure in hand. IMO that provides better feedback to a person who doesn't yet have the figure. So yeah, I know they're pushed to an angle but that's all I have to work with for my pics. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. What I want to know is what kind of hair products folks are using for this figure? What works, what doesn't? What's safe, what's harmful? Etc, etc...?

But thank you again for the feedback. That's very cool of you to be so upfront with me. I LOVE taking pics of my Hot Toys because it's so much fun. In the right light, a picture of a Hot Toy makes these collectable figures look like the real people!!!!! But I'm taking your interest to heart and will look for a way around the angle issue. JD

My trinity finally completed

This could easily be confused for a statue of the trinity instead of figures the way you have them posed. Hands down my favorite picture in this thread thus far!

Wow thank you Jaymas - It's taken me a while to even get halfway good at posing figures, but I do definitely aspire to achieving simple but realistic poses. Ironically, the seemingly simplest poses (for me at least) take a lot of work, because the tiniest change in something like the flex of the torso or the tilt of the head is the difference between "this looks like a toy" and "this looks like a person". Posing these figures realistically is a legit art form

Yea, it's taken me a while to get half way good too, and I'm still learning and trying to figure it all. There are some great posers here to try an emulate. But you are right the difference between what works and doesn't is often really subtle. I think it's about natural distribution of "weight". I put weight in quotes, because what looks good is how a human distributes his or her weight to stand, not what it takes to stand up a figure. Then you have to factor in how someone carries themselves, ect. Anyway, you're right the subtle difference is what makes the difference. Sometimes I can find it and other times I tweak and futz and just can't quite get it.

Wow, fritzthefox the jewelry wire works great!!! Please give us some more details about what it is and where you got it and how much it costs? (I don't know a lot about jewelry) I think that might be the way to go.

I took your advice (thank you!!!!) and used a table lamp. But the light in my home is so soft, this is the best I can get inside (without purchasing a camera and pic lamp).

More great stuff guyver! The hair looking good really makes a big difference in the look of the figure. You know, when I finally get a Wonder Woman figure and then start spending so much time trying to get her hair looking as awesome as you have been getting it, I will not be able to deny to my wife that I am playing with dolls any more.

lol, and sense all pretense has been stripped away I should ask... by the way, are using any sort of product in her hair?

Love that! What type/gauge wire did you use? SO much better than what came with her.

=1000 words+another attempt at alter-ego!!!!

 

[ZombieRepublican]

My trinity finally completed

I will definitely steel that pose when I get the JLA WW.

How'd you get WWs hair like that!??

 

[guyver1]

Can't get enough of the Trinity poses

 

[DarthBakura]

Out of curiosity, has anyone who's received their figure noticed one of the legs is perhaps slightly more difficult to bend than the other? Almost as if the material has somewhat shifted around the skeleton?

It's not bad, mind you. Just afraid to fiddle with it though and then hear a sudden "snap."

 

[ursusntn]

. Picked up Wonder Woman Friday. I really think she looks much better in person.

 

[kanine]

Got the Barbie cloak, definitely not accurate to the movie, but I like how it looks for now. I guess this is my take on it. Oh, and before people ask about the hair, I just used water to shape it down, no hair products, lol.

Try removing the leg armor and then flexing the knee slightly forward very slowly until you feel the resistance stop the movement. It won't snap if you pay attention to sound of the flexing ..again be gentle but it will move better once the leg armor is removed because the back strap of the knee pad is tightly rubbing against the knee causing it to feel like it won't bend forward or back.

Once the knee is straightened out and balanced, reapply the armor and you should be able to flex it again easily.

I know it sounds weird but try it , once you do it you will see what I mean about the knee armor strap causing the strain of flexing the knee to be more flush against the leg. Worked for me , but yes it is a tight squeeze of the knee but it will flex better and be balanced in movement with this tip

 

[DarthBakura]

Already removed the armor piece and was bending it for a pose. My concern is trying to shift her skin around the skeleton. Wow, that wasn't creepy at all.

I'm pretty sure mine was assembled wrong. That particular leg anyway.
