Hot Toys PERS (parallel eye rolling system) system in action.

[Voorhees27]

So, how does it work, do you just twist the knob in the back, or does that stick move like a joystick??

This is something i'd like to know as well. Joystick is my guess.

not missing much, the nice part (to me, at least) is the well done hair piece. Rolling eyeballs is nothing new now.

I really think they should have made it so each eyeball could be positioned seperate from one another, rather then in unison.

I don't see a lot of use for that unless Hot Toys makes a Marty Feldman figure.

Wookster, do you think the PERS could work on the Apes figures?

I'm absolutely sure it could work on just about any figure... but I have a feeling it will only be used on their very best selling lines, at least for the time being.
But who knows, that 'ape hair' could certainly hide your point of access.

I'm wondering if you could cram a microserver motor back there....

That would just be too creepy.

Only if you combined it with a tracking motion-detection system.... :rofl

But theres no reason for separate eye movement, since human eyes don't do that, and doing both at once means you don't have to position them separately and make sure they are matched, so i like it, alot simpler and easier it seems than enterbay's single eyes.

Just really curious how it'll be on batman.

Mine can. It's my party piece

pers looks pretty good. it's a particularly great innovation for characters like joker, who has such expressive eyes. the figure benefits a lot from it.

would've been great if they'd done it for harvey two-face---if only to see that crazy exposed eyeball shifting around. now THAT would be awesomely creepy!

 

[Darklord Dave]

Love it! And kind of creepy. Much better than EB's which are hard to set. They move independently and it's kind of difficult to get them set exactly in sync with each other.

I wonder why EB designed them to move like that. It seems...unnatural? This looks promising though, I'll probably bite.

 

[pixletwin]

Very impressive. Its the wave of the future, me thinks.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

I have to say that is pretty impressive. I mean now when you got your figure in that awesome pose you can put teh finishing touch on by getting the right eye gaze. Pretty awesome id say.

Hasbro was ahead of the curve by about 30 years....



Not a new concept in the least. Enterbay and Hot Toys just brought it back and improved upon it.

Eagle Eyes baby!

I was going to say that I had an "eagle eyes" action man when I was a kid and that it worked pretty well lol! This PERS system, however, seems excellent. I would agree with Dave about E/B eyes being difficult. It took me absolutely ages to get my Jet Li and Mr Bean right!

Yeah we all know its an old concept, EB revived it for Bruce and we was all like 'cool' then HT followed with PERS and we are now 'WOW'

Maybe EB will have blinking eyes next, then HT will follow up with eyes that blink and move on their own

Its evolution........
