Yeah Alfred is definitely “Hot Toys” quality.Got mine today. Again, no customs which is awesome.
The figure is astonishing. I just can't believe the quality and the care that has gone into these figures, especially for a non-essential (for most people) character like Alfred. Rondesmo shouldn't regret ordering this.
I love that the proper character names went on the bases. They couldn't put them on the boxes but they've done it on the stands. Really contributes to these figures from Mars feeling 'official' on the shelf together with the terrific sculpts, outfits and accessories obviously.
@DiFabio I know you said you'd have no interest in certain characters but if they were all made to this standard I doubt you would resist. I'd get Vicky - my only worry would be the hair and the challenge of female likenesses generally. I was a bit meh on Bob the goon, but again, if made to these standards I'd likely cave. I now say I probably would buy a Pat Hingle Commissioner Gordon. Especially if we ever have a bat-signal. He'd stand out well with his portlier old man build. And in terms of the broader bat-verse, Gordon is a vital character to represent even if those films didn't do much with him.
I don't think Mars will go very much deeper than they have right now - heck I'm still half thinking they'll get a cease and desist order and it could all be over. But it's fun to speculate.
I was comparing him to my Caine Armory Alfred that Hot Toys did in 2014 and, dare I say it, Mars Toys is better.
I have a paint rub on my nose, so that bugs me a bit but between the tailoring fit of the clothes, the headsculpt and all the accessories, it’s a stellar figure. Up there with Mob Joker honestly.
Mars is my new favorite company.
