Hot Toys Resident Evil 5 Jill Valentine!!!

[bandito]

imitating this would be great... add blood, broken limbs, mod the head sculpt...

^^^ that's actually gonna be the first pic I try to replicate when I receive my Jill. Man I wish they had put that scene in the game or in the Lost in Nightmares DLC.

Whats that pic from ?

^I think it's from the RE5 art book. It would be available in English soon. https://www.amazon.com/Art-Resident-Evil-5/dp/1926778049

Bandito: Sheva looks taller because she has heels , but both TTF bodies may have about the same size. I believe sheva was a bit taller in the game, but I,m not sure

 

[bandito]

Heels may give Sheva 1 to 2 inch more... Jill would still have a 1 to 2 inch height advantage (at 1:1 scale)

When you're the best collectible toy maker in the world, your customers become a bit difficult to please, it seems.

This will be my first Hot Toys character (although I have to TrueType bodies for drawing), and I love the way she looks and all the goods that come included. Those items made me choose this one over Black Widow...

...if I come across an extra $150 I'd buy her, too.

^But people should not settle for mediocrity right? For a company that has released stunning sculpts of movie-based characters same quality is expected from their other lines too.

Anyway the final product is a beauty. This will be my first HT too.

C,mon..we need more pics!!

 

[Biojex]

Whats that pic from ?

It prob will be in the Art book. But It's some early concept artwork.

Why aren't her elbows double jointed?

Jill looks kind of like Sheva, and kind of looks like Chris, just minus the facial hair and skin color...lol...
lol I'm half joking.

I was thinking the exact same thing they just painted Sheva's head white...
...but it took me a moment to see the similarity between Chris. Obviously, I'm half serious.
And 'generic' is not what you want from HT...

LIN Chris would be awesome! The costume is also in Revelations so a figure of it would be a great way to tie in with the release of the game without having to aquire a new license.

Would love LIN Chris, but considering the costume - BSAA Josh Stone - "who is the man?"

Heels may give Sheva 1 to 2 inch more... Jill would still have a 1 to 2 inch height advantage (at 1:1 scale)

Going solely on comparing the figures and the RE5 game stats, Sheva is about the right height.
The figure from actual heel to top of head is around 27.5cm which at 1:6 is 165cm/5'4".
Sheva's boot heel is around 2 inches, putting Sheva at around 5'6".
So technically Jill is the short one. Unless one is taking Jill's REmake height of 166cm.

^But people should not settle for mediocrity right? For a company that has released stunning sculpts of movie-based characters same quality is expected from their other lines too.

True. I find the most difficult thing to reconcile about this figure is that there is good indication that it was produced at least in part due to voiced fan demand for the figure, which is commendable, and weighting that against the mediocre headsculpt and other innacuracies.

More discovery: The legs lost swivel joints...delegated to the ball hips, this certainly severely limits the range it can do... Can't HT make good female body.. while improving on parts.. back-tracking on others parts as well...

 

[Biojex]

wtf....That makes absolutely no sense....What a silly thing for them to do.

 

[bandito]

^^Actually..Further testing out King Leo's legs as an analogy... the range is not that bad.. most human range can still be done. Need to test it out on the actual figure...

The only thing that hottoys have improved with this new body, are the double jointed knees, but everything else.... is a ____ing step back (or 2 or 3 steps back) ..
Seriously: No logic ...
This smilie could explain my feeling about the new FTT
The more I look at this new TTF body..the less I like it

Edit: Not sure, but looking at the pictures again, the rubbered low torso (waist) may limit the hip joints too.

 

[bandito]

If Leo's Pelvic region holds true for Jill or BW's body.... The rubber pelvic does help it to imitate what CG 2.0 body can achieve.

So there should be no big lost in articulation. That's a "BIG IF"

 

[Biojex]

Despite all these strange HT shenanigans. I am still extremely excited to get her.

 

[Agen]

Too bad Jill can't move ankle like Black Widow.

[vareika]

she looks good actually. And BW suprisingly looks good too!

I keep thinking these female figures have overly small hands
