You must be taking crazy pills, looks excellent to me

 

[siquisiri]

Its a cool sculpt, but like others have said, it doesnt capture the character....

 

[siquisiri]

LOL.........

I say the DID sculpt looks objectively terrible. I can understand how some may prefer the expression, but as a likeness and as a sculpt I truly cannot fathom how anyone can find DID's acceptable.

And looking at it as just a generic head, I personally would be embarrassed to display it. It's one of the most unappealing heads I've ever seen.

EDIT: I was going to go into more detail but I remembered that I described it earlier in the thread, this still sums it up for me:

I don't think it's a good likeness at all, but forgetting that issue, as just a generic person it looks very weird. It looks sort of like a young actor with poor "old people" make-up applied (of the Winona Ryder in 'Edward Scissorhands' variety), with the strange overabundance of wrinkles under the eyes and the deep-cut creases on the forehead. Something just seems real "off" about it for me. Maybe also the eyes are a little tiny.

I find it really a strange sculpt. The face has the angular/skeletal quality of Viggo Mortensen, and the eyes, the weirdest part, are almost indescribable in their peculiarity - there's something about the eyes that I can't quite put my finger on... They look less like a human's and more like a dog's, or maybe a shark, but not an angry shark but rather a lonely shark that wants desperately to be your friend...

 

[siquisiri]

Well im sure as hell not embarrased by it.. here mine.......

 

[Biojex]

The lower half of the DiD sculpt is fine. Above the nose...not so much.

 

[EVILFACE]

The DID expression is nice but everything around the eyes look terrrible. HT nailed the look and expression of the scene they chose.

 

[siquisiri]

Better??? LMAOO...........

 

[EVILFACE]

Who is that?

 

[siquisiri]

LOL..............

don't worry about the blame of others,we have this in our hands and with own eyes we can say it is outstanding...

 

[shadowfla]

but...look his mouth...

And character isn't a static stalagmite. Everyone has their own opinion on how they wants to see a character on their shelf. No one sayin that DID's version is bad, uninteresting or else and those who seein this character only with his awesome smirk surely will buy it! However there's an objective view - both heads aren't perfect and have a different expression but HT's one looks more natural sculpt and paint wise.

There's some logic, don't you think?

yes.. is just a point of view..I will continue too see a more lifelike landa in did's sculpts than Ht lol.

My opinion, if I want a 1/6th Christoph Waltz figure, I'll go with Hot Toys. If I want Col. Hans Landa, I'll go with DID.

then you can could to buy both, cheap price for the did one..and better quality clothes.

 

[siquisiri]

Good point by all but, as always, the lines are drawn. I will add that the DID Hans is fully loaded. Just add a $14.99 greatcoat and its a lot cheaper that the HT.

 

[jayveeeusebio]

I still think the HT's sculpt on Landa is far more superior than that of DiD's. The only thing that lacks the HT's sculpt was the expression he needed.

I'll be getting a little treat for my Landa coming this week...pics to follow soon
