Hot Toys : The Crow ( Brandon Lee ) Sixth Scale Figure

[Mr Walker]

I have to say, if any other Aussies are watiing on this, I'm a bit irritated at the delay popcultcha is having at getting these in. I expect a bit of a delay, but it's been a couple of months now. I can pick this up on eBay at comparable prices.

I'm thinking about getting this directly from Sideshow, have there been reports of quality issues? I know the Vader had quite a few.

I know exactly how you feel buddy so I bit the bullet and got mine on eBay. And it arrived yesterday. Very good figure!

 

[Mookeylama]

Rory, please consider doing a run on this. I actually bought an extra head to have you masterpiece it.

i'm hoping for this as well!

Hi guys,

Have not really been following this thread and have been meaning to catch up so I'm not sure if anyone's attempted modifying this figure yet.

Right out of the box I was severely disappointed with this figure, this is an effort way beneath Hot toys and I'd be a bit embarrassed to put out a product like this if I were them especially after releasing something as wonderful as DX13.

The most disappointing part is that the likeness and sculpt was great there was a lot to work with here. But a terrible body choice bad tailoring and glaring omissions messed up this figure.

Luckily I was able to extract the Crow I really wanted with some effort and now am very pleased.

My mods include:

-Swap to a heightened Bruce Lee body
- Took out the middle layer of the hair and reattached it so it hangs longer than the bottom layer lengthening his hair
- gave him the scar
-re-tailored the sleeves so they fit nice and tight and were not so baggy
-gave him a new necklace strap (the one they included was a joke)
- ripped out all of the wires out of the coat except the bottom and the collar for a more natural hang and fit

Not much can be done about the wrong guitar but other than that I'm totally satisfied with this Crow!

HUGE improvement! I will try What you did with the coat. I didn't realize taking the wire out would make it look natural and not like crumbled trash like it currently is! Great job on the hair. His hair is way too short. This figure as is has a ton of problems but awesome mods!!! Figure looks so cool!

Thanks man, yup I think the mods are totally essential

I realize I never really posted my hair mod in detail, it's really a simple mod everyone could do with a knife and glue and pretty much instantly fix the hair problem for good

 

[Darth Fok]

Wire in capes and jackets ruin the fit for me. I wish the crow they sold actually looked the way you've modded it. Good job man

Do you have the steps on how to do the hair mod? I don't even know where to start.......

 

[Otomofan]

That mod looks so much better than the factory shipped figure it's criminal. Hot Toys must be slipping. No reason for it to not look that good right out of the package. For a company that built it's reputation on likenesses and face sculpts...how could they get the hair so wrong??

Re: Hot Toys The Crow petition

Feels good after all these years to finally get this . This film came out when I graduated high school and always has been a top 5 for me.
I know it has it's issues but I'm not modding this guy.

I picked one up at a convention over the weekend for a really good price. James O'Barr was also there so I had him sign the base

He commented he really liked how the figure turned out.




Wondering if anyone else get's their bases signed by creator's or actors. I'm thinking of having Ray Park sign my Snake Eyes.

 

[Staps1138]

After waiting and waiting on this guy it finally arrived at my local shop today, just picked him up. I only had a second to glance it over but liked what I saw! I bought a 2nd head to get the real hair mod done and I might remove the wires from the coat and a new string for the necklace but I am very happy to finally have the Crow in my collection.

 

[ronin-5]

Anybody know what body type they used, is it a ttm 21?

 

[TurdFerguson]

It's a modified Frankenstein HT body, the taped up forearms are sculpted on the arm too.

 

[Staps1138]

Yea, I wish they would have put a better muscular body on him with a sculpted neck and taylored the clothes better. He looks good with the coat on but odd without it.

Agreed. Received mine yesterday. But with the coat on, it's a good looking figure! Sculpt is top notch, coat still needs a lot of futzing.
