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

[devastator's balls]

Is it weird that Toys2 has their Blade figures already and Sideshow does not?

Naw, Toys2 is the official Hot Toys distributer in NA, as is Sideshow, but Toys2 always gets the first batch of HT figs from Hong Kong.

Just when I feel my excitment for this figure is dying with the arrival of DX Batman I see a picture like that and wish I'd bough Blade first.

Wow. Could this be figure of the year....already?

 

[Buttmunch]

Wow. Could this be figure of the year....already?

Nope. We haven't even seen Iron Man 2 stuff yet, let alone Clash of the Titans, Avatar, or Reeve. I'm sure Blade will be long forgotten by the end of the year. Which is a great thought actually since he is so great to begin with!

Haven't you heard? The T 800 is coming! That is high on my list.

I know some people in this part of the forum don't care but I've been wanting that figure for as long as Terminator 2.

This is a nice pic

 

[Reinhardt]

Wow, that pic is amazing. I wonder if the jacket has a wire in it.

Yep! There's a thin wire vertically along the coat opening and around the bottom.

And thanks for the kind words, guys.

 

[plasmid303]

More photos!

"Ooooh, exciting!"

I haven't even tried putting on the second jacket. It's not my preferred look...

Beautiful photography, your work just keeps getting better, keep it up.

Thanks, Sean. Your examples are the pinnacle of which I dare wish to reach someday. But you keep moving the bar up! Especially with those awesome Batman photos.

Well you're coming along. There are 2 things I aim for with my work, interesting and flattering lighting, and presenting the figure in a way that is respectful of the character personality, and you're getting both of those aspects in your work, which to me stands it out. Some people can take beauiful photos with interesting effects or nice lighting, but their posing/presentation of the figure lacks any sense of character in them. I find the more interesting work finds a way to make a little figure with a permanent expression and look, convey the attitudes of the character it represents.
