Hot Toys-MMS 193-GI Joe:Retaliation Storm Shadow Specs + Pics

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

It's amazing how lifelike they are really.

 

[Legendary Hunter]

This looks amazing, I'm going to pick this up along with Snake Eyes for sure!

 

[Adrosi]

This is such a great looking figure!!!
....if you're a 14 year old girl.



Enough with the gay jokes, cum on guys!

Needs a cowboy hat.

 

[Mike Tyson]

garbage...easy pass.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

^ you sig is appropriate

 

[Hellion]

I ordered him and Snake Eyes. I'm a child of the 80s and grew up on the cartoon, it'll suck if the movies bad but overall I'm still just that big kid buying the latest Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow so I'm just excited to pose them together and stare at them and recapture that awesomeness from my childhood.

Good design or bad is open to opinion, but this is a well executed figure. Picking this up for sure.

 

[DarthTrafford]

$205 for that?

Ohhhh thanks for the laugh my sides hurt now.

How fast before this thing is on the gift card list?

 

[Darth Cruel]

Ordered! Can't wait to see the flick!

Love the design! The price is a tad high, but with metal swords an two heads that actually look like the actor are a plus.

LOL...Did Hot Toys suddenly develope a reputation for the production copies being as good as the prototypes as far as the likeness goes?

 

[Lawrence]

I might be more used to HT not getting sculpt likenesses as accurate as I'd want them to be, so when I see something as accurate as this, it's a nice change.

Sad thing is, this will sell out quickly in Asia. I doubt he hits the gift card list actually.

Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, Indy, Bane, DX8-12, Avengers Cap, Luke, Red Skull, Snake...all look like the prototypes, or better in some cases. That's not saying they all have great likenesses, but none have looked worse than the prototype. Maybe slightly different paint applications, but not the sculpt itself.

Could you point out some recent figures to back up your point? I can't think of any at the moment. Maybe you mean like Avengers Black Widow? I didn't really think the prototype was better in that case.

Lots of names in this thread I've never seen before in the Joe forum.

The fact that sheep will get into a line in which they had no interest in the franchise prior just because HT makes them is pretty crazy.

Assuming too much..I'm not even getting Snake Eyes.

The only sheep in the GI Joe threads are the regulars that cry that its the Hot Toys name that makes people say that these are nice figures. Where on Sideshows website does it have to say you have to be a life long fan of the franchise to buy it? Fanboys never seem to amaze me with how personal they take the silliest things in life.

Ever heard of snobs?

Wonder if the swords cn be joined at the hilts like in the trailer

I was wondering about that too while watching some trailers yesterday.

I'm not a fan of Joe, i saw the first film and thought it was alright, Storm & Snake were the highlight. I haven't given a second thought to the sequel until today

But this figure speaks to me, i've been looking over and over at the pics.

I've always loved white superhero costumes, even though Storm Shadow is a baddie. The masked head looks awesome and all the weapons too.

Not 100% if i'll get it, but i'm at at least 80% right now based on cool factor alone

OMG! Same on all points. The figure really does "speak to you" in a sense.

I would have prefered a more classic ninja design, but this figure looks awesome. Its just missing a red Cobra insignia.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Spoiler

Lee Byung-hun (Storm Shadow actor) mentioned something about Storm Shadow not really being part of either side.

Maybe that's why we're not seeing any marks.

 

[Centurion]

I have to agree with my fellow brethren on this one...


...they made him look Asian.

 

[King Darkness]

Snore! !

 

[gunm]

This is pretty cool. I already PO SE, so having SS is a must. The mixed media on the masked head works well--I think HT is working harder in that area what with the recent Batman armor and such. Seems like anything that gets two headsculpts automatically goes over $200 now. Sigh....

 

[Monger]

It is way too expensive, but I have got to say that this is a really good looking figure with an exceptional head sculpt.
