I think HT would struggle to top this IMO. Love that sculpt and paint apps. Like someone said, just need to sort the giraffe neck out

Really?!

Thats what some said about the 89 Batman customs. Then they started offloading them like no tomorrow.


However, the boots look straight out of the film. Best boots I've seen on a custom yet...

 

[OSCORP]

Gotta be any day now

Really?!

No, I can see where Wanderer is coming from. If that thing went through Hot Toys paint production and the neck was smaller, it would be hard to beat.

I'm in fact, I'm surprised by it. I saw a video of Autobot John's (the guy that's known for that hideous Superman custom he reviewed) where he reviewed this figure or one similar to it (might have been just for the clothes and body as I believe the head was different) and I thought it rocked.

It looks really, really good. The likeness is spot on, the proportions are just right. The paint and neck and maybe the light colors are the only things wrong with this.

Much better than some of the Keaton customs that everyone ditched.

Looks good minus the Giraffe neck and skinny body.

I'm starting to wonder if this will be in hand in 2011

Really?!

Yeah, really. Go look at the total travesty that is the DX05 Indy. Same dude's sculpting Reeve.

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback! really useful!

So I've shortened the neck about 1/2 a centimeter. Not sure it's that obvious on the picture though. I used Wolverine as a template. So, what do you guys think? Enough or not?

 

[pixletwin]

[Crimsonbob]
