MaulFan, you're a liar! You said you were going to "photo the hell" out of this figure... You've only posted 2 pictures... That makes you a liar! 2 x Photos doesn't = "Hell"
j/k, What kind of camera to you use? I'm in the market for a good reasonably price camera with a good focus lense...
It's out of productiong, but I used a Canon Powershot Pro 1, it was Canon's high end non-SLR camera at the time, and I haven't followed their latest models because I'm actually getting a Canon Rebel XTi in the next few weeks which is an SLR camera. For figure photos, any camera will have a good enough zoom, but what you really want is actually one with quality short range options, like Macro zoom, which is how I get shots like the closeup of Jack I did.
I know you're kidding, but I do plan to have more images, but home life is a bit hectic and unpredictable of late and I haven't really even had time to finish futzing the outfit and what not to my vision of Jack and how it should look, but I'm just about there so shots to come.
As you can see in the closeup shot I posted, they got a nice texture to the face, I don't know what the method our 1/6 makers over seas have found for getting that skin texture in their like this figure and Medi's Darth Maul, but it is quite impressive and really takes the figure an added step. I'm waiting on my Rambo 3, but so far, Jack and the coming POTC figures are really showing a big improvement for HT in the face/head deparment, their paints apps and this skin texture are really getting a realism that was missing from some of their earlier human works, like SSC, they're alien creatures (Predators, Aliens, etc.) have been magnificent, but the final paint apps and even some of the style of sculpt on the hair of their earlier humans wasn't as nice as what they're rolling out lately.
