Hot Toys John Wick

I find with 1/6 scale figures, it's not usually the sculpt or the paint that's the issue. Normally it's the photography. ALL 1/6 figs look different in-hand, simply due to the way our eyes and brains work versus a camera. I'm pretty sure others have already gone into technical details on other sites or forum threads. I'm sure this will look excellent.
That said, I'm a little disappointed in the accessories. Although I'll be very happy with what we receive, I think a non-injured headsculpt with the more slicked hair should have been created/included (considering how often he has that look in JW1 and JW2). I also would have liked a white shirt (which I'll pick up anyway), but more importantly, holsters and ammo belts. To be honest, the pencil is hilarious, but I don't think I'll display that gun box at all. If they were going to do a box, I would have preferred a huge case (like the one he digs out of his basement). I also don't think he needed that many coins, or 2 different markers. He's also missing his watch.
This is just picking nits mind you... Really looking forward to this figure!!!

Yeah good point about the holsters. It would have been fun to load him up with everything like in the movie, or at least put on that cool gun belt he wears during the catacomb scene.

I kind of put both of them on par with each other from what I've seen of Wick so far. I like them both.

Wick looks way more like Keanu.

The Neo figure is cool and all, but the likeness is only partially saved by his shades.

So I have to ask

Do you think this figure would look better with rooted hair?

I wonder if UnReal Customs and others are thinking about it

If HT listened , what do the collectors prefer the order of release of John Wick figures produced from each film should be

John Wick
JohnWick 2
John Wick 3

 

[davejames]

It would certainly look better with high quality rooted hair applied by a great customizer, but not with the cheap rooted hair HT likes to use.

I suppose I think of the Neo look as more iconic Keanu, so even though the JW sculpt does a good job of his new look, part of my brain doesn't really think of it as being him. Younger audiences may come to know this as the iconic Keanu look, just like according to memes out there at least, there is a generation of fan who thinks of Alan Rickman only as being Snape, and do the whole "RIP Snape" thing each year during the anniversary of his death.

I’ll never forget Rickman as Hans Gruber first from DH though but that’s just me

In fact when I saw HP the very first time, I said “ my god..It’s Hans “

Just went to Secret base to see this guy. Trust me it looks way better in real life than the recent photos posted on facebook.

Really not feeling it with the final product pics, so I'm going to pass.

Looks really good here, but I agree with some previous comments that the beard looks too soft.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Those oversized hands have me wanting to cancel.

 

[davejames]

Eh, hands don't look any more oversized to me than on most HT figures. I think the only time that's really been a glaring issue for me is with Tarkin.


I thought that was an interesting comparison in the review, and shows how the face is just too wide and not as long as it should be. Which is something those custom sculpts got right, even if the HT sculpt is a whole lot better and more realistic overall. And maybe darkening the sides of the beard would help with that a little bit...

Looks like they only got 13 pre-orders. Make sure you get yours quickly. [emoji38]

This is your proof they'll do a slicked back version. It's an easy rerelease with a new hair part molded.

Keanu has large hands, so it works for me

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Haha to be fair they don’t look as bad in videos. It’s those dang blogger pics.

Does it come with the dog? I like the dog in part 3

No, but Mr. Z makes a Staffordshire in different colors (one sitting, one walking — with interchangeable heads):

Mr. Z actually has the dog in part 3, but no armour of course.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I saw part 3 and can't wait for the figure. I wonder if HT will make a JW4 figure?
