Hot Toys - VGM16 - Biohazard 4 HD: Ada Wong

Yeah, likeness are off on those... only HT Chris has a great likeness, Wesker okay.

Nope. That's what we were discussing in the "Ada vs. Assassin's Creed" thread . Hot Toys mentioned a few years ago that they would make more AC figures if Ezio sold well. But, he didn't and Hot Toys had since abandoned the line. Plus, in the most recent interview with Howard Chan (the President of Hot Toys), he stated that they'll just focus on MGS and RE for their VGM figure line.

Im not surprised, Assassins creed always having a different protagonist stops any one from being that iconic or popular as other VideoGame characters. I think most people agree Altar was the coolest of all aswell

On the likeness, i think you sign a contract so the companies own, and are free to use the faces.

What? I think Ada's likeness is fantastic. Infact i would say all the RE figures have great likeness to the characters

Kristen Stewart as Ada in Tarsem Singh's "Cell of Evil"

When did Ada show anything but the most subtle facial expressions in the game?

dominshin. likeness means a resemblance which isnt an accuracy. everything thats made has a likeness to what it resembles. my brother is a likeness to me because we look similar. so yeah, she and every characters figure created is "like" the original but not "similar". now, if you want to compare similarities you have an argument.

Seriously. She tries to keep emotion hidden since she's a spy.

 

[devilof76]

And given that, her eyes look pretty intense. Sculpt is convincing too.

Eh, we can still say one likeness is better than another.

That's why we use words like great, okay, bad, when talking about likeness.

Obviously the figures do have resemblance to the source, "some" likeness, "off" likeness.

 

[Sachiel]

It's just moles or freckles....

But Hot Toys overdoes it for "teh realizmz".

 

[Privyet]

I'd be all over an re6 Ada or the darkside/orc/re4 merc version. Maybe even an assignment Ada version.

Would her rubber arms and legs get all jacked up if you were to pose her like this?

 

[Privyet]

Pre-Ordered from Sideshow.Final cost $119.00 with my reward points!!!

Awesome!

Maybe if it was left in the same pose for months, and it was in a place where it got direct sunlight through a window or something. I think the hardest part of that pose will not be the knees or arms but more the getting her thighs to point that high up due to the body she is on or possibly the dress. And crunching her abs as the body if its like any other female body with rubber will not be crunchable.

With any luck, the hidden joints aren't covered with rubber.

In the pics it doesnt show the joints

 

[Snake Plissken]

I just wish HT would stay away from rubber altogether, it does not have a long shelf life and it just ruins the experience of the product.

 

[Biojex]

He's talking about the joints underneath.

They may not be using rubber this time around. I believe they've moved away from it. Hulk is said to be using some sort of PVC. so one could assume they may have switched to similar materials with this figure.

 

[ZombieRepublican]

If its not rubber how does it have no visible joints. What material can do that other than rubber?

 

[Biojex]

As I mentioned, PVC

 

[ZombieRepublican]

Hrm... you think that would stop its corrosion problems? I wonder if there are figures using it in a similar way, Im curios to see the pros&cons

 

[Kiva]

If it turned out Ada wasnt using rubber.. oh em gee! It would be nice if HT could clarify for us
