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

[Cap'n Cook]

Looks off there because the eyes aren't painted lined up.

Have to say I'm not a fan of those photos. Quite unflattering.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Unflattering indeed. The hair length issue is becoming more apparent.

The first two pics shows the paint lined up, the last two could be due to the angle.

Honestly I'm happy that they even released this, I'm sure along the way most of the imperfections will be corrected if not all.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The makeup definitely needs touching up.

This is one definite instance where you guys can talk it up all you like.

I'm buying this doozie - with bells on.

 

[Snake Plissken]

...I've said numerous times that I'm getting it no matter what. We can still critique it.

Yeah, same here. Been crying out for HT to make this for years. Bought. Bought. Bought!

I'm surprised somebody finally did something

Couldn't find a great picture of him in the scene but it would be cool since the weathervan is an accessary to get another sculpt of him towards the end where the makeup is near gone while he's fighting Top Dollar. Just an idea.

It may not be perfect, but it's better than I ever expected to see. I'd love for them to lengthen the hair on the back and sides (he had different layers in his haircut), and an alternate sculpt would be nice, but I'll gladly buy this one as is.

I wonder if one of the accessories is the stunt gun used to shoot Brandon. Seems a bit strange making a fig from a movie that the guy died on set. Still it looks a top fig.

This is a pretty stupid post. The movie was almost shelved but Lee's mother and fiancé fought for it to be finished and released. You can look at it as the film that killed him or you can look at it as his greatest moment as an actor. Take "The Crow" away from his filmography and there's not much there, certainly nothing iconic like this performance.

His death is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of filmmaking. I don't buy the story about the prop bullet becoming dislodged in the barrel and the blank essentially completing a functional bullet. I think it was pure negligence, I think they had dummy bullets and blanks both made from real bullets and I think an untouched bullet got through and I don't think anyone was really paying attention to what was what on the set. It was stupid and irresponsible and 100% avoidable but the end result is something almost ethereal. The real-life events add this whole morbid and eerie quality to the film that undeniably add to the film's mystique.

That same mystique had led to "The Crow" being endlessly merchandised for the last 19 years so I fail to see how something like this is an outrage all of a sudden after years of incense burners and ****.

Yeah, no way I'm turning this down even if there are some MINOR nitpicks. I think we should also take comfort in the fact that this figure is nearly a year away. when they say Q1-Q2, we can pretty much bet it'll be sometime in Q2...and knowing HT, late Q2 at that.

So next June maybe? and that's if it doesn't get pushed back in favor of whatever Iron Man thing they'll be pushing at that time. So, odds are things will be changed or fixed. and if they aren't changed, I won't even care because we are FINALLY getting a proper collectible from this film!

Thanks!

Rather late to the party but I am loving this figure.

I think less is more with the case of the teeth. They just over paint and a bit over sculpt them. Just reign in the darker tones in between the teeth and all is well.

Definite purchase this!
