You weren't trying to explain anything, in your very first comment you ended it by saracastically laughing at him because his opinions differs to yours, you then tried to make out your opinion was more for want of a better word 'worthy' because its one shared by people on this forum like members of this forum are the authority on everything Batman/Hot Toys
If you're going to display arrogance when talking to people don't expect for no one to come back at you for it
I am in agreement here with DarkAvatar, I hate PERS.
I understand the concept, and if it was truly utilized well, yes, it would have added realism.
The problem is its a gimmick that HT are using that's forced.
Several factors why for me it doesnt work.
One, many times they sacrifice eye shape for PERS so it throws off the sculpt. At 1/6 scale when you have a millimeter room for error, that's a lot.
Another big factor is that in comparison to 1:1 scale busts that looks ultrarealistic, the 1:1 uses medical grade translucent eyes that gives it a realistic look.
HT doesnt use translucent eyes, they're flat sunburst painted that looks very toyish, hence what is DA's point, it ruins mosts sculpts cause it looks like a toy.
The painting process have now progressed so much that you can apply a paint technique to mimic layers giving an illusion of translucency.
That's why I favor painted more than PERS.
The only PERS I think that was utilized well is 89 Bats. The rest, when well lit, it looks very fake cause of the way its painted. No translucency so it makes it look like the eyes are flat. Again, very toyish looking.
Now if they were utilized well, and HT doesnt force the look and sculpts the person's eyes according to its true shape, and uses translucent eyes, I'm all for it.
Here's an example of glass eyes on 1/6 that's done well.
If PERS was like this, I'm on board. but since it isnt...cant stand it.
I started a thread about this very subject and it can be found here

Most people don't like pers for some of the reasons listed by remy and more. It can be a cool feature if done right and adds to posing options but it has never improved one sculpt and only detracts from the realism unfortunetly.
Geeze Fiend, you know I do not start this to troll. I was just saying why people on freaks do not like it, since clipper king mentioned it in his video. Then every one has to try and prove me wrong and keep going on and on about it. It looks like clipper King was wrong and it is actually the majority of people here on freaks who like the PERS system.
I don't frequent these forums much as some threads just devolve into an endless circle jerk.
I love having discussions and debating with people as much as the next bloke, but as you said. Were well passed that point now. People in this hobby(especially those that hang out at sites such as this) tend to know what they want, there's no sense arguing as your not going to change anyones minds.
Why do you have to comment?
I was just explaining to them why I didn't like the PERS system and I got bashed. FFS I just showed the link to BrooklynWolf X where I was the one who wanted to stop the argument. So there is no need to give me further advice, no offense.
Ah ok cool, I want to apologize then!
cheers
quick tip:
if you want to end arguments stop responding
