Hot Toys- VGM06-Bio Hazard 5-Chris Redfield (BSAA ver) spec + pics

so they dont make that type anymore

 

[Boba Ben]

They do but they don't make one with the same skin tone as Sheva has. She also has a distinguishing tattoo on her arm so that would be a problem as well unfortunately.

 

[immyb13]

ahh does it look like this one https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54609&highlight=chris+redfield&page=10

Here's the thread for the female truetypes. I think they're basically like the Sheva but the skin is a different color and they have the jointed arms.

You know from an aesthetic point of view, I much prefer the rubber sleeve arms but after seeing what they look like on the inside, they look very brittle so part of me now kinda wishes HT would have used the standard arms line on the proto.

I think Billy and Dutch are on the same body I have both... Billy is easier to find and cheaper too...

Billy's on the old limited articulation muscle body where the arms are attached to the body...

The newest muscle body on King Leonidas has much improvements, by comparison..

Sheva's arms..... The weak-spot would be plastic of the metal-plastic interface of the inner arms. The metal composite they used for the arms are certainly very strong... very resistant to bending even at the thinnest part of the arms... the metal loops that hold the wrist pegs...

The Cuban TTF has very similar colour/shade to Sheva..

The rubber arms do look pretty good, but the trade off of better poseability and lack of worry about deterioration for the jointed arms makes me prefer them on pretty much all figures. I don't think they look that bad and all the problems with the aliens, ED-209 and various figures makes me worry about all of my rubber figures.

 

[immyb13]

but I love the non plastick or rubber arms I love the original

 

[immyb13]

and those female true types look good.
So they still make her like but different skin tone that's alright.
I just prefer her to look like this type it looks amazing besides the rubber-ed arms,I just don't like rubber arms,people say that they can break easily so that's why I want the one with non rubber-ed arms

 

[ChaserFan]

Yes I am talking to you

Classic! Your reply made my day!

 

[hicks]

Awesome. Hopefully will look just as good in person, and i'm sure it will.

What other version could they do? I rather them do Wesker and Jill then another version of Chris and Sheva...

that would be cool having the Res5 jill and wesker

then get both sets

 

[immyb13]

I was looking on ebay.ca and I found sheva alomar none with those arm joints and why do they display it with with the non jointed arms what is that all about

 

[immyb13]

I mean why do they display the jointed arm ones and all in all they are the rubbered ones

 

[Boba Ben]

The original prototype had the jointed arms but Hot Toys decided to produce her with the rubber ones instead when they released the final product.

 

[immyb13]

so those dont exist anymore as the jointed arms

 

[immyb13]

ahh why did they stop doing the jointed ones they were the best till they made those rubbered
NOTE the only reason why I like the jointed ones are because I have seen pics of her look better in the jointed arm one than the rubbered

 

[Boba Ben]

No. That picture was of a prototype of what the figure was originally designed to look like, but they ended up manufacturing it with the rubber arms with the metal joints inside of them. From time to time Hot Toys tweaks the figures and makes changes to them before they're released.

As I said before, they produced a female blank body that is similar to the one on the original Sheva prototype, but they do not match the skin tone of Sheva and don't have the tattoo on her arm. Therefore, it wouldn't look too good if you put her head and clothes on of those bodies.

 

[immyb13]

so where do I get the one with jointed arms

 

[immyb13]

so your telling me that that type was never released ever so no one ever had the chance to hold the sheva alomar jointed figure before
