Seriously, though, those socks've gotta go. I took part in a pretty heated debate with one of my friends today over the socks on an action figure, of all things. I learned nothing I didn't already know, and what it all comes down to is subjectivity; is the glass half empty or is it half full? The general consensus is to cut them some slack because everything else is so good. I disagree. If they can provide us with two amazing headsculpts, incredible accessories, and a costume that, to my knowledge, is the most accurate replica available in 1/6th, what is standing in the way of them getting something as minimal as a pair of socks right?
This figure is unbelievable, and it is already a contender for figure of the year in my opinion. I just don't understand how, when they hit all of the major notes pitch perfect, something as small as the socks manages to be the one thing that slips them up. If it's fixed, fantastic. If not, well, I guess I'll have to settle for an already incredibly impressive figure.
Hot Toys just doesn't care, it is all about people who will buy the product. They know if they change the sculpt and make it look good it will appeal to everyone, so everyone will buy it, not just Hot Toys fan boys who will only buy Hot Toys products even if they suck. They consider the socks an insignificant detail, so they know people who hate the socks will still buy the figure because the sculpt is good.
