Medicom Snape

[Star Puffs]

Except they fight monsters using tiny sticks....

...better to have a robot that combines with other robots to form an even larger robot at a post-apocalyptic neo-Hogwarts!

I just found this:

I had sort of casually searched for this on my iPhone, but did a search in Japanese finally to see if I could hit upon a photo.

I'm undecided still. I have this on preorder at BBTS, but am not blown away by that display model, although it does look good, much, much better than your past Medicom offerings.

It's pretty good by Medicom's standards, but you can tell from the second photo that while it can look good in photographs, it's going to look pasty in person.

Definitely need to see more in reviews and perhaps a price drop before I'm going to be convinced, because Medicom's non-super hero tailoring isn't exactly the best.

It'll probably look amazing in the hands of someone capable of giving it a good re-paint though.

Nice sculpt, but the hair is horrible. You can see that the body is the crappy Medicom standard, unfortunately.

It is Snape, he should look pasty. Most Hot Toys figures are too dark. It is obviously not easy to do skin tones in mass production.

So does anyone know how Medicom and TT slim bodies compare in size? I have a free one and this might be a good use.

Pasty in the sense it looks plastic and toy like, seeing as Medicom don't paint their skin. HT obviously does okay with mass producing skin tones.

TT slims have slightly thicker thighs (and straighter), broader shoulders, and limbs are also a bit longer (hence taller). But will still fit into a fitted outfit made for the Medicom bodies as long as the material has some elasticity. I've only tried it with a Kamen Rider.

I think the head sculpt is fantastic. In those pics it doesnt help the close up is using a flash. Still not sure I would want just a Snape on the shelf.

I'd like a Dumbledore, if I could pick just one to go with a Snape.

I was actually just thinking Hermione would be my 1st choice, Harry 2nd (can't decide whether to get the Medicom).

The TT Slim is just a little bigger and slightly taller than a Medicom body, but it make a good port over. The only problem you may have is with the longer arms and neck peg, since the Medicom neck pegs are much smaller than the HT peg.

Got meself a Medicom Snape, surprised by the great quality. Worth the price. The sculpt is top notch, the clothes material is awesome and the paint/skintone is lifelike.

Here's some quick pics I took with my phone, so forgive the blur and out of focus thingy.

See I really want this figure, but Medicom is out of their damn mind selling it at this price. It's a $160 max. No way is it worth over $200.

 

[addicted 2 collecting]

I agree, I want one also, but not for that price.

 

[KillingYouGuy]

Wow, the figure looks lifelike in those shots, a surprising change for Medi's typical cartoony looking sculpts...

 

[batsheva]

^ Yes. Trust me, it's much much better in person. So very lifelike. I am very surprised by Medicom this time.

 

[thamesvalidude]

I ordered it, then lost courage and cancelled. I may regret that decision!

 

[gunm]

Same. I really want one...maybe it will go on sale and I will have an opportunity then...

 

[Goat]

Looks good!

 

[Buttmunch]

Looks excellent for Medicom, but nowhere worth the price. Medicom has just lost their minds on pricing lately.
