[Mr.Tanker]

Simply do not understand the hate this figure is getting. Hot Toys is doing an incredible job on this line.

It's really only a handful of vocal folks, and i concur splendid job so far. Room for improvement? Always!

If anything it is split... 50/50. Some like it, some don't.

 

[Cixx]

It's the same people over and over mostly. The ones that don't have a problem with it are not as vocal. And when it hits in hand it'll be the same ol song and dance again. (aka everyone will love it)

 

[Jokes & Bats]

Looks like he has been eating some yellow snow based on his moustache.

To be fair. This doesn't seem like a futzing issue like with Chewbacca. Most in-hand shots aren't going to introduce angles or shading in the head sculpt that we haven't seen in these blogger photos.

That said we'll probably get a more honest un-Photoshopped view of the figure. I'm guessing I'll still wait and see if the figure gets a 20% off code.

And people who love it in hand will be people who obviously liked it enough to throw down the $220.

 

[Cixx]

It's not about chewie. Its the same with nearly every figure. Everyone hated Han as well that was not a futz issue, now 90% like him. Again same ol song and dance.

And it'll be the same With Vader, Luke, Fett, Kylo etc. etc. sculpts and inaccuracies and **** hot toys i /ragequit

 

[YankeesFanboy]

(aka everyone will love it)

Yeah, no.

 

[pjam]

Keep searching youtube for new in hand vids -- nothing yet.

 

[Cixx]

Yeah, no.

You're right.

90% will.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

You're right.

90% will.

I don't know about that.

This isn't even a HT vs. SS thing. I don't care who makes it as long as it looks good. So far, I've only been impressed with the Stormies. Han's face looks pretty good, save for the expression. With enough futzing, Chewie looks like a decent ROTJ figure. And then there's Ben.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I agree with you... except I'm generally not with the "I don't like it" crowd on first impressions, but this one appears to be bad enough that I am.

Everyone didn't hate the new Han sculpt. Lots of people felt it was an improvement over the prototype. And there are still people who don't like it and don't plan on buying it. Also, don't know where you're getting these percentages.

 

[CollectorGuy]

I'm sorry but the only good ones so far are luke, leia, and boba fett. Darth vader is doubtful, han and chewie were very so so and i canceled, this is ok but not great. I mainly just dont like the beard, i dont hate it.

 

[Lordscum]

Obiwan san is karate don't.

Point is the Han thread is mostly gush gush now. And same will follow here. People acted like Han looked like John travolta and soooooo far off that it wasn't even close for both sculpts. And then soon as in hand pics come it's back to gush gush. Nothing new here dude. Sure some don't like it still, but 91.375% do! Although i'm convinced if we ever do get a near perfect of any figure there will be plenty of haterz to put doubts into the weak minded.


I dunno, i like what i see these are my favorites.

To be very fair, on the other side of that, there is a certain amount of this hyperventilating, myopic stuff though (this one followed a mocking anti-Sideshow rant)...

THANK YOU Hot Toys for these amazing figures. THANK YOU for always advancing your craft and pushing yourselves to make your already excellent figures even better! I can't wait for Vader, Ben, Leia, Luke and the rest! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, HOT TOYS!

And no, not a hint of sarcasm to it.

And that's from the ANH Han thread - which, while better than expected based on the V2 proto, is not HT's finest hour and no one would argue is a homerun.

 

[CollectorGuy]

If the beard had been fixed i think it could have helped the likeness some. Such a shame they went with the proto beard with all that curliness.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Can you grab Ben by his curlies?

I wish you would stop making so much sense. Repped.

Anakin got him by the short hairs.
