Lim Toys - 1/6 The Gunslinger (Outlaws of The West)

[Scythe Of Luna]

Anybody heard any word on The Outlaw batch 2? I had to go through Comics Sanctorum & am hoping for the best.

They're in development.

Wait hold up your doing Joel and E in 1:6?
Now this I'm excited for!

They are doing them as pictured in TLOU Part 2 flashback scenes. So they will also be considered as Remake versions. I think they are looking to announce them near September with the release of the Remake.

So, tangentially related, but I'd love some opinions....as I'm focusing on game characters WAY more than I initially planned to in getting back into 1/6 (& especially with the outlaws, Joel & Ellie, Nate & Aloy on the next couple of horizons), I'm beginning to regret not grabbing the Ghost of Battlefield Jin Sakai. Would I be crazy to sell my HT Arkham Knight Batman to get one, or should I just be patient & wait for a probable sequel figure? I know he's not perfect in terms of accuracy but I feel like it's mostly stuff I could remedy myself, or overlook. I'm finally getting through that game & really wanting to have him on the shelf with my growing pantheon of video game legends.

I always liked Batman Arkham Knight more than Ghost of Thushima. Tbh I never liked Ghost of Tsushima that much. So my opinion is obvious. However I am considering of selling Batman from Arkham Knight & Damtoys Godfather to buy Hot Toys Naked Snake and Mondo Kratos cause I like MGS and GOW more and there will always be another Batman (not game but movies). So I would say which do you like more as a game? Batman Arkham Knight or Ghost of Tsushima? Sometimes we make biased decisions based on a game/movie/series we are playing/watching right now. So consider that. Which character resonates more with you?

 

[Scythe Of Luna]

That's a good question. I adore the Arkham series, & that's actually my favourite representation of Batman of all time.....BUT, the figure is practically a statue. He's just kind of standing there & isn't really all that exciting. I've definitely been keeping him out of attachment to the source material, & because having him & Beyond, along with Alex Ross's MK-4 Spider Armour & Spidey 2099 on the same shelf has a nice symmetry & stylistic consistency. As figures, though the costume fragility & barely poseability takes some of the shine off of them.

I am really enjoying GOT, too, though. (Took me a couple of tries to get into it, but it hooked me this time. I've been dying to replay RDR2 but am waiting for my Outlaw figure to arrive to restart it, & Ghost of Tsushima has been a great holdover.

With Hot Toys finally dipping their toes back into Arkham Origins, though, I'm hoping maybe they could do the base suit from that at some point, too. I feel like my odds of getting another Batman eventually are going to be better than practically any other character.

As for your version of this dillema, I can highly recommend Mondo's Kratos. He's great, especially if you can get the exclusive. I had some of the similar frustrations with HT's Naked Snake as I do with Bats/Spidey, but he is a fantastic looking figure. I'd only go for that one if you either already have LimToys, or want the MGS3 look specifically, though, as the outfit is super restrictive.

I also need money to cover the new Bayonetta figure & if I unload Batman, I'll probably sell that whole shelf. LOL

I love Ghost of Tsushima but didn't end up getting the Ghost of the Battlefield figure, the more I've seen about it the more I'm ok with that fact, there's too many inaccuracies for me to pay aftermarket prices for him the most noteable one being the ghost mask, the big diorama base has very fragile leaf parts and the fox it comes with looks goofy, I've also heard people having trouble with the armor due to lack of instructions and some of the metal plates falling off, it's a damn shame really, I think if you really want him tho grab the regular version at a decent price, you could also wait since I'm sure there will be more figures of Jin when the second game comes out.

Everyone has different tastes, I think in this case you'd be trading good figures for worse ones, the Hot Toys Nake Snake is an old figure and the suit will desintegrate as soon as you start moving it around, the Mondo Kratos is limited in articulation, has a poor paint job and really just looks like a big Neca figure, SW Toys has announced one and WorldBox is working one their version too, I would wait for WorldBox to announce theirs before jumping on Mondo Kratos.

Definitely agree that it's best to make decision based on what character/property you're more drawn to when it comes to making purchase decisions regarding figures.

 

[Scythe Of Luna]

Hmmm, That's valuable feedback, too. I hadn't heard about parts being so delicate on Jin, so I may hold off for the sequel, or another contender with that in mind. I HATE having to try to do surgery on $300-400 figures.

I was checking out that SW Kratos, & he looks like 85% of the way there. I love the outfit & the paint is nicer looking than Mondo, but the proportions look a bit off. Either the body is slightly too small or the head is slightly too big, one of the two. I'll keep an eye out for the Worldbox, though. Even though I dig the Mondo despite the stiff joints, I'd always be happy to upgrade.

I saw that Worldbox is making Kratos from Ragnarok and I am interested to see how that turns out. I know about the issues of Hot Toys Snake, but I don't have a 1/6 Snake in my collection and I found him for a very good price brand new. I am currently replaying MGS V and MGS 3 on emulator and the nostalgia has me searching for a 1/6 Big Boss (Mgs3) & Punished Snake figure. I can't find yours on the aftermarket, so I figured the best option was the Hot toys one which can be representative of both Mgs3 & V. I really want a Sneaking Suit V, so I hope that is still on Limtoys plans for sometime in the future.

Nothing has been cancelled, it's still being worked on, the MGS figures are our most delayed projects because we're still learning new techniques and aquiring new tech to make them as best as possible.

I feel you. MGS 3 is my favourite in the series, & I still need a good 1/6 representation having missed out on the old Metal Boss stuff and Lim's. That being said......I still don't really regret selling my HT. I babied the crap out of that thing & his earpiece cord still broke, & one of his little suit canisters fell off the suit out of nowhere. I feel like if you could get one for fairly close-ish to retail, sure, as a placeholder, you could do worse. Definitely not one I'd overpay for, though. Even if he was pristine & you've got ideal display temp/humidity for pleather preservation, he's a "hands at his sides, sternly standing there" figure.

As a matter of fact, I had forgotten, he literally can't hold his 1911 correctly at all, because his glove fingers are HUGE! his finger won't make it through the trigger guard on that one at all, or on anything else but the EZ gun without risk of snapping the triggers, so the rifles were out, too. I always just had him standing there holding the EZ gun & looking mad about it. LOL

Any update on the Gunslinger release?

Took my Arthur with me to the beach the other day. Lots of great toy photo spots to explore!

May have to look into one of those fishing rods for him, there are some spots that would work real well with that here.

Great pics, but something was off at first glance. Then I saw the hat. Did you make it?

Thanks! He photographs extremely well.

I did actually! I made him a hat to fit all the hairstyles, and a satchel. It's pretty roomy, holds his journal, pocket watch and other accessories very easily.
Both were made out of a paper towel method I use.

Great news! (except the delayed part, but I can live with that). I imagine making the sneaking suits is the hardest part, especially if they are made to last. I know we shouldn't expect to see them for another 2-3 years, with so many projects you have on the horizon, but I am still happy to see all my favorite characters from my favorite video game franchises being made.

I'm watching July melt away, ever hopeful, but trying not to hold my breath. Finally got my Ahsoka Tano from Hot Toys after forever & despite being my favourite character from one of my favourite franchises, I only have eyes for for that tragic cowboy right now. LOL
