Woo hoo! Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I cannot wait.

 

[King Darkness]

Couple real quick pictures. There have been plenty of great ones here already, so I just took a couple with his pops.

Father and Son

On a side note, Reese is much larger than Connor.

 

[Fives]

[Chew74]

Mr. Connor is en route and I can't wait till he gets here.

 

[The Chaver]

Mine will be here tomorrow.

So, i will address this late but..what was Hot Toys reason for giving us the wrong gun with this figure?..its the exact same one that came with my Airmen figure and that one came with two different extentions...kind of sucks to pick this up knowing i have the exact same rifle on another HT figure.

According to an article/interview with Hot Toys about the Salvation line, it sounds like they've had issues getting reference from WB for these figures, they even stated the Hydrobot will feature some made up parts because they had to fill in the gaps not covered by the reference material they received.

Oh those are so great... Makes me regret not jumping on Hicks and Reese when they were initially released...

And makes me want a Hicks revamp and a street clothes Reese all the more

Excellent comparison pic for before and after Hot Toys detail. Just look at the before and after quality in the sculpts. Almost night and day imo.

 

[MaulFan]

They've definitely come a long way, but they've always had clothing down, it's really paint apps and sculpting that have grown over the past years. Another plus is realistic hands now instead of those soft, fat fingered Hasbro-style ones they started with.

About the only thing that would separate them is the sculpt.

From the neck down, Reese could be released today and no one would complain.

 

[Voorhees27]

Oh I totally agree, thats why I mentioned just the sculpts. I agree, HT's has always had their attires down right.

 

[a-dev]

Is anyone elses HT Kyle Reese figure orange skinned or is that just mine?

 

[King Darkness]

The Reese sculpt is nice though, no where near todays level of detail, but still a nice sculpt.

Thats fact right there...for the most part, they use good materials and tailoring is generally good..only my V1 Jokers coat was an issue to me.I have to give props to SS though for their Jedi/Sith figures, having used great fabrics and tailoring was good on them too.

 

[King Darkness]

No, they are all orange skinned.

I'd even say, prior to the new Narrow Shoulder TT, Hot Toys bodies were better on their earlier figures, functionally the standard TT used today is better, but as far as representing a person, it really was a downgrade for them, which thankfully they're now correcting.

Cornerstore just charged me for Connor today.
Anyone know if they actually have them in stock yet? Sometimes they charge a few days early to speed up the turnaround on shipments.
