Its hard to say with the new bodies and all. I fear they will be closer to $200 like Batman and Michael are.

I hope its closer to the $100 mark since I too want three (2 troopers and 1 ambassador). $150 is better than $180 or whatever their last few figures have been, but still, I'll take them for the lowest price possible.

That's exactly what I want to do. I'm sure lots of other people will follow suit.

Re: Hot Toys Mars Attacks! Thread
Sure cheaper is always better, but I think $100 isn't realstic.
We're talking about Hot Toys figures & I can't remember that
I've ever seen one for $100. In germany they will probably cost
around $230-260. (Huge rip-off!) I'll order mine straight from Asia,
so this shouldn't be my problem!

Re: Hot Toys Mars Attacks! Thread
Great figures but some criticism.
The legs seem to long on this figure somehow (it makes the head look to small).
The eyes seem to small, they don't have that freaky look they had in the movie.
I wanted an expression like this (notice the pronounced eyes):
The eyes should really be improved on this figure, they didn't really capture that psychotic look they had in the movie and the body should be proportionally shorter to the head.

Re: Hot Toys Mars Attacks! Thread
I agree with everything you said there. These figures look amazing (and I'm getting 3), but you're right, the eyes definitely look too small somehow.. (also the bone to the sides of the eyes shouldnt stick out so far. There should be a 'kink' towards the eyeball on the sides.)
Regarding the legs, its hard to tell if it's the actual proportions... the camera angle... the pose (I'm assuming these things have joints at the knee/elbows? its hard to tell... they could be fixed sculpts & just move at the shoulders/wrists & hips/ankles couldn't they
But you're right... something is a little off. I think he looks too.. chunky. I remember their bodies & legs looking much thinner, they were tiny skinny things, making their heads look larger.... this guy almost has 'normal' proportions. Could be the post though.
But like I've always said, it's impossible to tell properly from a few photos. They still look great though

It's not way off but there is definately room for improvement.

Scroll down to the bottom of this website:
https://www.awn.com/mag/issue1.10/articles/jackson1.10.html
for a pic of some original models, which were used in the movie!
I think the proportions are spot on!

Re: Hot Toys Mars Attacks! Thread
I don't think so.
Compare this body:
To the bodies in this screencap:
Notice the small arms and the short legs (on the left). The figures arms and legs are clearly to long and it's head is to small. The nose is also to fleshy on the figure. Include the small eyes (they bother me the most) in this and we have quite an imperfect martian figure.

Re: Hot Toys Mars Attacks! Thread
When i look at that, the problem is mainly the head and eye-size, way to small.
You can't compare the CGI + Model martians!
Here's a comparsion of the figure & original models:
I think the legs are quite close, but the arms a little too short!
