I personally have not seen a bad picture yet. They all look fine to me.

Well decided to take a couple shots of this fig. It is indeed amazing but sorry for the crappy shots because I have to take pictures on my iphone because my camera broke.

Indeed, but if the in hand folks' word is to be taken at full value, there's some magic we're not seeing. This thing sounds very impressive in hand, but some of the things said about it aren't translating through. This new skin method hasn't shown to me so much yet, what I've seen so far is on par with every other HT head I own, very anxious to see what's going on in person.

exactly. The photos from most people are good , its just ( and I couldn't take them myself before you ask ) I think they could be alot better.
The teaser shots with the bank robber from hot toys shown off the sculpt quite well ( but probably still not the best it could be ) and then in hand photos started to show up and with not so skilled photographers taking the photos and the figure doesn't look as great. I can't remember wheter the teaser shots with the bank robber were with the prototype two-face figure or not but still the photos shown off the overall figure , proto or not , quite well.
IN a strange way it takes away the excitement for the figure since the figure doesn't look as good as it could but then the excitement gets right back to you when you recieve it because its miles better than you thought it would be.

If thats makes sense.....


I noticed some people canceling their two-face figures after seeing the in hands shots but I think these things need to be seen in hand before making decisions like that. Ecspeically when this is the best one on the market now and probably for a good while if not forever.
Plus these aren't probably going to drop in price so if you don't like it you can sell it when it arrives anyway.

Something about his nose, esp. in the Two-face sculpt, is looking a bit odd: kind of elongated, sort of Cyrano de Bergerac-ish.

Quick questions: is his headsculpt easier to remove than BR Joker? I haven't gotten my Joker yet but some people were posting horror stories about the connector ring and such coming off.
Also, is his jacket big enough to close? I know there's no velcro or anything, but I was thinking that when I get mine in hand I would attach some of those clasps that most 1/6 suit jackets and uniforms come with so I can close his jacket in the front. Would it work with his suit?

Does the big ugly seam in the thumb magically disappear in-hand? Does the little nickel Two-Face is holding miraculously get bigger in-hand? Does the gun look less cheap in-hand? Do they[ hands look less ugly and HUGE in-hand? Does the tie look any less cheap in-hand? Does the burned side of the face magically shrink so it's not the exact same size as the normal side in-hand? Etc. Etc. It's not pics, at least not for me. That makes no sense. There's been numerous pics of this figure on this board and others, all of varying quality and nothing changes. It IS possible to just not like something. You don't have to convince people that "in-hand it'll be better". It won't be. It'll be exactly what you see in pics. If people are happy with it, cool. Congrats on the addition to your collection. There's legitimate issues with the final version. Some can look past those issues, which is cool. But that doesn't magically make those issues disappear. It just means YOU can overlook them. So please don't pretend something is wrong with the people who DON'T like it. It's not the pics.. it's the figure.

it's partly the figure in that there are nitpicks to be had. some of the ones you made i'll have to agree with, but some not so much. the gun for instance is as well made as any other gun in the line. you can ^^^^ the gun and remove the barrel, which is nifty. I don't exactly know how cheap the tie is, i kind of like the material its made out of. but some of the pictures, no offense, definitely show the figure without any proper fitting. if i just had the joker as is out of box or tdk bats, they would look awkward. i've got my two face looking really nice right now, i just dont have a nice camera to take decent pictures. the way people pose, dress and photograph the figure will make a big difference. even though the V1 TDK batman ended up being a bit bulky, it was nowhere near as bad as some of the initial photographs made it. once in hand, it became far more praised. i've seen shots of tdk bats that make him look like a toy from mattel, but obviously thats not the case in hand.

so if you dont like it, dont get it, but it makes sense for people who have it and enjoy it to defend it a little. is there anyone who has it and is really disappointed?

 

[Devil_666]

but it makes sense for people who have it and enjoy it to defend it a little.

Actually it makes no sense. NONE. Why should you or anyone else care about what other people think of something YOU bought and that YOU like!?

I've brought this up numerous times on here. If you're happy with it, and enjoy it who cares what I think. Or anyone else. And vice versa. I like stuff that other people absolutely HATE. Does it bother me? Nope. Does it make me not like that stuff? Nope. I don't let other peoples opinions etc dictate what I like and don't like. That's why I don't get defensive if someone criticises something in my collection because chances are I have the same criticism. And chances are, I'm far more critical.

I dont get what you're saying Devil, you're saying, we who have the figure cannot make any excuses, but people who havnt can state random FACTS. you say ''You don't have to convince people that "in-hand it'll be better". It won't be. It'll be exactly what you see in pics '' and that's FACT, and anyone else who disagrees is wrong? How on earth do you work that out? You havnt even seen it in person! Personally, i have the figure myself, my pictures suck, and yes the figure does look alot better in hand. Is that wrong? Is that just plain not right at all? Does my figure look exactly like my pics. No way, my pics are horrible, yeah it looks a fair bit like it, but there's ahelluva lot of detail and niceties i cant capture through a lense. We are talking DETAIL here, not looking past issues, they are there for sure. No ones trying to make excuses, or convince anyone of anything, no one's saying anything is wrong with the people that dont like it, but you are acting as if there is with the people that DO. No one's saying there's no issues, i'm certainly not looking past them, i admit they are there, but again, i'm talking about DETAIL. we dont work for Hot Toys, it's not our product, no ones trying to sell you on anything, it's totally ok if you dont like the figure, but i'm simply stating that the figure looks alot better in hand, and is alot more detailed than pictures would have you believe. How can say, 9/10 people who actually have it, agree on this, and one person that hasnt seen it in the flesh say they are all out of their minds, it's identical. Of course, nothing major changes, THE first thing my sister said when she picked mine up was, ''how come he has that line across his thumb''
I agree with you however that, for the people who have it, there's nothing to defend, its a personal purchase, as long as you like it, you dont have to care what others think, and it isnt your own product.

 

[Morbach]

The wait is so longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

yeah it sucks but I'm just glad I got him

 

[lforigno]

the one thing about this figure which is frustrating is that the tie is so hard to get right. It took a lot of time but I got the tie just right

 

[blakus939]

yeah i hear that, i thought it was a good thing at first, it stayed where i put it...........for about 2 seconds! why did they change from fabric to a silky paper material? I like the shirt material though, very realistic. Still, the sweetest part of the whole deal is the Harvey sculpt for me, i freakin' love that thing!
Here's a few more pics, finally got my good camera back from my sister!
Complete at last, still have to build or buy a proper case to keep the dust out though, ive been saying that since V1 Joker! LOL 4 more figures later and still no motivation, hehe! Had to move the 1/4 joker sculpt, not enough room

 

[Jack Ups]

awww looks so sweet man congrats, next on my list is Dent, then will get round to buying v1 Joker and Begins Bat.

Detolf cabinet man, looks great, and there really cheap.(Ive got one and it looks badass, and its great at keeping the dust out, though you need to dust it every so often)

[blakus939]

Haha no kidding thats the exact one i was looking at, and ikea had them on sale, i just never got there over my christmas break I'll have to go this weekend, really need something asap, they dust up like crazy

 

[cerealkeller]

AAARGHHHH...these pics are killing me. Great setup Blakus3939. Should be getting mine tomorrow or Thursday. These pics aren't making the wait any easier.

 

[Jack Ups]

Haha no kidding thats the exact one i was looking at, and ikea had them on sale, i just never got there over my christmas break I'll have to go this weekend, really need something asap, they dust up like crazy

yeah lol i brought one before my first Hot Toys got here, spend all that money on them and they get attacked by dust straight away.
They do look great though.

 

[blakus939]

thanks cerealkiller
that does look good man, i was thinking a pair in each space might look a bit cramped, but it looks fine, right at home

But that's the thing blakus, Agen has taken some really crystal clear, detailed photos of this figure. And the issues I brought up are still there, just more apparent. I think the pics so far have showed a wide range of looks for this figure, and for me, it hasn't gotten any better. FOR ME. It's 100% my opinion. Not a fact. It's all good. Congrats on your purchase. This HT figure is the best thing going. But again, that just shows how mediocre the competition is.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

Funnily enough, I actually would probably buy a Hot Toys Two-Face based off Batman the Animated Series.

HELL YEAA !!

love the animated series harvey.
hey sean you have all the seasons on dvd of the animated series?
