Hot Toys - MMS113 - Blade II - 1/6th scale BLADE Ltd Ed spec + pics

I'd say they're equally bad for a lot of the same reasons.

Its all about HT doing a balls to the wall movie version of Blade. If HT is going to throw down the gauntlet by acquiring this license then the fans should politely but strongly insist on HT doing justice to
Snipes' likeness. Sorry HT but we now know what your capable of so youre a victim of your own success.

While the two picts below arent the same angle: Its evident work still needs to be done. The sculpt needs work on the hairline,cheeks,eyelids and brow.
Wesley has more upper lid showing. Blade is pretty stoic in the movies for the most part so they may even want to forget the frown altogether.

So far the majority of people weighing in here and on the OSW board are saying its needing some more work. The poster who mentioned Gooding Jr was right as well..
Do I see some Snipes?
Yes,as well as two other other actors.
I want Snipes with no ambiguities, and for almost $200 I should get him the first time
and not wait for the DX version.






It would be nice if the tats went down to his upper torso.
C'mon HT Ive got faith!

Dude, your "how Twilight should have ended" pic is hilarious!!! I JUST saw Twilight, it literally finished 3 minutes ago. Going to watch Blade now.

And while I already love the headsculpt on Blade, I would welcome the changes, especially to his hairline.

Well said...I know HT listens, it's just I love this character and that sculpt could be way better. HT have the talent.

How do you know they don't? Haven't seen any pics of the body yet. Maybe they do. Probably not though.

I think whenever I heard that Blade III was coming I was so excited I thought this was going to blow my mind from Blade II, it just goes to show you that with such a great movie being only the sequel that it gets harder and harder for them to top their latest creation with the series.

that was actually what happened with "blade ii" in my case -- i was on family visit in the states and even talked my cousin and his wife into going to the cinema together with me to watch the movie, because i had seen posters at bus stops in new york advertising the movie and i was: " wow, great -- i need to see this right now!"

the opening scene was ace, and then it somehow went downhill from there -- i'm just speaking for myself, but it was too generic: the special forces unit is an overplayed element and the group could have consisted of "humans," it wouldn't have made a difference. not to mention the wwf-style showdown ... the characters were great, on the other hand -- wasted potential to me. i probably like the third installment better than the second since my expectations were lower (i used to be a huge snipes fan in the early 2000s). first part is still the best (and udo kier rocks!)

then again, i hate "aliens" for the same reasons and believe it should be banned, with "alien³" being the actual sequel, so what do i know.

WOOOOOOOOOOW 0__o

It's a f* great figure so far!
I very love first 2 movie and realy happy that HT makes THIS
However sculpt have a great Blade nature, but it's more like Terrance Howard in the end... Besides head itself is too big and out of proportion + looks like hi stand on a simple TTbody <__<

My last word:
1) correct shape of the skull
2) reduce head
3) give to face more features of actor
4) put on the muscular body!
If all of this will be made... I'm begin worship to HT as gods ^^

I just posted this image on Hot Toys facebook page i hope they fix it

They should add those two scars near his eyes.
If they only change two things Id say hair line and upper lids.

Look at the little pic of Wesley. The top of his head really looks like that. Pinching the figure's head at those red lines is a mistake.

although i can't say i agree entirely with u, your appraisal of blade II has some validity in it.

but for saying this:

then again, i hate "aliens" for the same reasons and believe it should be banned, with "alien³" being the actual sequel, so what do i know.

...this is what u have earned:








btw, welcome to the forum.

 

[the angry orc]

i think it looks friggin' awesome and 1 will definitely order it. i dig blade and blade 2...3 not so much.

 

[Cryoguns]

Apart from the opening scene, Part 3 was absolute garbage, and doesn't exist in my mind.

I almost agree here The only redeeming quality of Blade 3 was the Hannibal King character. I really enjoyed his character.

Abigail Whistler I would have preferred to see them completely ditch, though.

I want Snipes with no ambiguities, and for almost $200 I should get him the first time and not wait for the DX version.

The DX jabs are seriously old. C'mon, it's been a YEAR with no new announcements of any further DX figures aside from Batman and the Joker. I really do not think HT is going to make a habit of this.

BTW, that Twilight pic just killed me!!

 

[mynnDAWG]

dont think HT will go all out with the tattoos...remmebr Michael Scofield of prison break line? HT totally ignored the tattoos (now enterbay is trying to re-do them)...

hwever, this will be great to keep as it has that limited edition tag same as wolvie huh!

 

[creecher]

The head. Okay. Why don't they name these first teasers protoattempts? It has that same offness that their Wolverine suffers from. They didn't change much on that one, that I could see, so I don't suppose this one will change that drastically. So surprise us Hot Toys. I can take it. Even just the widows peak, because the sunglasses can hide most of the rest.

Wouldn't mind seeing that Hot Toys Snipes head they did for one of their military figures, just to compare it to, if anyone happens to have a pic of it.

I think they ought to cancel this project and just give us one DX version, with a second screaming headsculpt.

Chuck in his shotgun, a second set of interchangeable muscular arms with applicable tattoos, and a second pair of pants and alternative vest.

Yeah, I'd rather one DX figure and pay a bit more, than have a choice of more versions with improved head sculpts. Make the box fold out into a diorama, and give him glowering eyeballs, and tattooed shoulders, and how about metal weapons, and does he have any tattoo's anywhere else, and while you're at it...how about a second pair of sunglasses, at least. Definitely, put wire in the coat.

And how about letting us know your intentions for the line? Will we get any other characters?

I just want one definitive Blade, and I reckon we just got it.

Hot Toys has missed the mark every time they've done a human likeness on a Marvel character.

I totally agree, the DX whining crap is getting REAL old. To be fair there has been one other DX announced, which is the Ironman MKIII... which is ALSO a very new super high profile license they sold the hell out of. I can also see Rambo and Rocky DXs down the line for the same reasons but it looks like it's going to be a fairly rare thing that only happens with the licenses that got serious legs.

I really don't think Blade which hasn't seen a new film in five years and has never had much merchandising is one of them. Hell I could be wrong, I just want a Blade I figure and/or Nomak.

i think it looks great .. any idea about the price ???
