A definite buy. HT did a decent job on the eyes and lips, but the jaw-line is very Cuba Gooding, Jr.
some points:
- eyelids need to be lowered more. snipes has sleepy eyes.
- hair line. obviously not from blade 2.
- toy pants looks leathery. movie pants does not.
- body looks too skinny. this is a nagging problem for me because it seems so easy to fix, yet it happens again and again. cant they build a more fitting TT body?
- likeness is a bit off yeah, but terrence howard??? the only thing this figure shares with howard is that they both have 2 eyes, 2 nostrils and dark complexion. the likeness is 90% snipes and 0.1% howard.
been wanting a blade fig for a while. this is a good first attempt. but we know their next attempt is always their best. i can wait.
im so happy we have gotten a blade!!! and from Blade II none the less.... awesome!!!
Man people are picky.....he looks bad ass to me
However, there is one hair follicle out of place when compared to the movie, it's approximately 125,000 hair follicles back to the right.
HT should terminate the artist responsible.

Sometimes you have to make some concessions as far as the body types are concerned. Having a figure with overly bulky arms can make getting a trenchcoat or any coat fit and look correct. Personally I think the figure looks find with his trenchcoat or with the jacket. I think the most iconic look from Blade II would have to be when Wesley was dual wielding the HK's in the sewer against the reapers so that is how I would mostly likely display the figure. If we were talking Blade 1 then the blood bath scene from the movie opening stands out in my mind so I would display that figure with his trenchcoat. Neither one of these would require a muscle body figue to look correct. Now if I wanted to do the la magra blood god fight version of Blade from the end of the first movie then you would deffinitely need a muscle body character. I think Wesley was built the largest in the first movie but depending on the scene it wasn't overly obvious.
