Hot Toys - MMS466 - The Matrix - Neo Collectible Figure

[rjszar]

Tailoring on this one looks a little better and at least they got the tie color correct.

Sigh, should have known there would be more than one. Looks like VTS may be releasing a Morpheus as well.

Wonder what size this VTS Morpheus will be -- Mad Max tall or Furiosa small?

Hope they hide that bright stitching better too. Other than that, this looks far superior to the Toys Works.

Guaranteed HT will tease one now.

Yup the gauntlet has been thrown.

VTS's will be a near HT quality fig. Regardless of your interest in the source material, if you check in on their (their being the "licensed" division of their company, DAM) Aguilar from Assassin's Creed, you'll see what I mean. Aside from the eye paint apps, that figure has an outfit who's tailoring goes to to toe with HT's best. If HT had produced that figure as is, it'd be lauded for it's construction.

Picking this release up over the spiritual leader is a no brainier (barring a HT release). The only downside is that VTS takes FOREVER to release their products. If HT leaves the Matrix behind, then VTS is a great company to pick up the mantle.

VTS Morpheus will also NOT be scaled correctly with HT Neo.... VTS has horrible scaling (see Furiosa).

Yeah but I think that was truly a screw up they just didn’t have the finances to fix....

Everything else on that figure was great, especially for the price tag. After a bit of work I think mine looks great.

On hat note, I dpubt it will scale with HT either.

But that head sculpt , at least the bottom of the head looks pretty good.

I didn't get Furiosa, but since it's a female character, I don't want to judge them seeing as so many companies screw up the female to male scale. If this were Trinity I'd be a lot more worried.

 

[Wor-Gar]

HT Neo is a giant to begin with. So you just know that Morpheus will never scale right.

No matter, I'll be getting the VTS if no better option presents itself. I look forward to this figure in the beginning of 2021.

Agreed. I'm not as worried about their male figures, and if anything their Mad Max was too tall. I actually had to shorten mine to make it more accurate to Tom Hardy.

Fishburne is supposedly 6 feet tall, which is an inch shorter than Keanu, so if the figure looks a bit shorter that should be fine.

 

[Prime Clone]

On one hand, these bootlegs should signal to HT there's enough demand to do more Matrix figs.

On the other, they might eat up all of collectors' available cash.

With VTS you can expect a great outfit and a mediocre headsculpt. I have the Wasteland Ranger, and while the outfit is excellent, the headsculpt certainly does not approach the fidelity of Hot Toys. Furiosa's production head was miserable, as was New Epoch Cop's.

If it's true that Damtoys and VTS are the same (this is news to me), I own the Damtoys Altair and it is an overall tremendous figure--but again, the headsculpt is not comparable to Hot Toys.

For that price it’s almost definitely completely flat.

I had a similar pair, and it was okay.

I’d recommend getting Full Metal or Doggie Doc customs.

Just changed up the pose. Didn't really come off great in the photo but he's posed running.

Yes, it's flat, you have to bow the lens and bend the rods, but for the price ... Of Neo's custom glasses, the best I've seen so far is the robbiethepainter, it's perfect.

Thanks for that.
I think I'll be ordering a pair and trying them out!
