heres my blade group pic of this years hot toys and its only march sheesh and i got kamui and MJ thriller too
i agree with duckgoo. he's right about the 3D scan of snipes - that's how toybiz got the likeness down. it's a better likeness, but suffers from inferior paint. keep in mind the toybiz blade came out in the 90's. and it was $35-$40. i love the HT blade, but as nice as the head sculpt is, it's not as accurate as toybiz'. 3D scans don't lie.
alright, i guess you can kill me now too.

No, The ToyBiz sculpt probably does have a more accurate likeness, but it should, because the sculpt was produced from a laser scan of Snipes' head. But even then I don't think it even does a perfect job at capturing Snipes.
The Toybiz figure was released in 2003, I believe.
I think this arguement is moot, because really, at the end of the day, would anyone rather have the Toybiz head over the Hot Toys head? Seriously?

That's a nice collection, and you even have some Medicom Marvel figures too! No Medicom Blade? I've always thought that one was a nice comic Blade figure. But I guess no one really needs 2 Blade figures.

Alot of people coming out of the woodwork to show their ignorance and arrogance. People I've never seen in this thread before. Bunch of witless bandwagon jumpers and deck stackers.
It's not a matter of comparing a $40 mass produced and painted figure from nearly a decade ago with a high end companies limited edition collectors item of $160. Nor is it conveniently using an amateur photographers picture and comparing it to a professional shot portrait. No, the comparison boils down to comparing a sculpt, to the man himself and seeing where the similarities or differences are.

I think in all fairness to do a image comparison like that then you should probably pick shots of the updated and final HT Blade sculpt, not the prototype one.
And again, to be fair, there are better photos of the Toybiz head to use:

Quite right. I just used the ones on their site. They ought to update their site. Maybe they're using a mix. I didn't look that closely. I just wanted pics that were roughly the same angles as the pics of Snipes.

It's odd that Hot Toys hasn't replaced the old prototype photos with any updated shots of the reworked (final) head. They did it for Marcus Wright and Sarah Connor when those were re-sculpted, but the Blade pics always stayed the same.
THe only pic from HT that illustrates the final head was this one:

Who from and how much, if you don't mind me asking Capt. I got mine for A$170 shipped from Hong Kong. Just interested in seeing if there's some place local that's competitively priced.
Good follow up on that discrepancy plasmid. It's no wonder me and my money are easily parted.

Not true! HT wins on the paint and texture, but likeness is still crap!
