Action Figure Mezco One:12 Collective - (1:12 scale) DC Comics Figures

[Captain Clown]

Scan or not it doesnt look like Batfleck at all before The repaint job. The Guy did a marvelous job at recreating everything. The HT sculpt is mindblowing it's clear that with such paint app it would look perfect.

It already has a good paint app. If you were to give the HT figure the stock paint of the Jakks figure, no shading whatsoever, it would look worse.

The Jakks is literally Affleck's head.

EDIT: Looks like DiFabio already said that. oop.

I really don't get your appreciation of a scan. IF you really think it's better no problem but you'de think Hot Toys would HAVE figured it out and stopped Hand-sculpting.

Then their prized sculptors would be out of a job.

They'd make Even more profits. Truth is you can't best HT sculptors with a scan. I do think their paint job is awesome but The one of The jakks repainted is phenomenal. We are comparing one unique piece with 5000 or 10000 from HT you can't put The same amount of details. With jakks reg painting, HT sculpt would still look a lot better Than The jakks. Sorry.

They already did.

Mezco did too and they didn't need a scan.

I wonder IF you have The Batfleck Hot Toys and mezco or if you're just basing your opinion on pictures? Because saying The Mezco sculpt is better is crazyyyy. It's very good but Hot Toys is better. So far it's The best figure of Batfleck. 3 people stating wrong facts won't make it right. From what I feel you aren't into Hot Toys and seem biased. I on The other Hand collect everything.

You got the Jakks Pacific's bro?

Pictures and having both in hand.

It's just using your eyes.

Sculpt-wise? Nope. Everything else? Damn straight, it better be at that price point.

Only they're right facts.

I don't have loyalty nor bias against any company, I judge on figure by figure basis.

The only toy line I have a bias against, and with good reason, because of QC, is Mafex.

But I repeat, it's no secret more often than not, $20 bucks toys companies have better sculpts than HT.

Nah I just get sick of some acting like HT can't do no wrong. Like Thier Keaton. So many things wrong with both suits.. texture, one rubber piece, ect.

Nope I dont have that one but seen it in person and Found it to be garbage. But if I could get that Genius paint Guy to repaint it I would buy it in a heartbeat I do think The end result is phenomenal. But honest question though; do you guys own The Batfleck HT or at least seen it in person?

Then my bad, thought you were biased and judging without seeing it in person ) Very surprised that you find Mezco to be superior sculpt wise, I definitely don't, no way heh. On The price thing, it's not The problem, as I stated many times on this board, I don't take it in consideration when judging a figure I only care for quality. Jakks don't HAVE it but huge credits to The Guy who repainted it,looks gorgeous. Also about $20 figure companies with better sculpts than HT,I have yet to see it. If you put The same paint guy on both HT and any other 20$ toy, no matter what, HT Wil always look better. I have yet to be proven The contrary ))

You're surprisingly level headed I thought you were trolling for a second there, agree to disagree then.

Level headed? What does that mean? nope never trolling I'm dead passionate about figures and always curious to read other people opinions even when I strongly disagree

I've seen the Hot Toys in person and have held it in my hands (along with the Knightmare). Best thing about it is the body and suit construction. That's about it. It's an overrated figure, just like the DX 12 TDKR Hot Toys that everyone had to customize back in 2012.

Like I said before, the Hot Toys Batman heads aren't impressive. It's not just Affleck. I physically own the Armory And DX 12 Bale (had the OC MMS 67, Toy Fairs, DX and DX 02 before I sold them), Adam West Batman, the DX 09 Keaton and the Batman Returns Batman. Like Affleck, they all have the same problem. Swappable faces and moveable eyes. It's just not realistic. Hot Toys sculptors also idealize the hell out of their sculpts and Batman is no exception.

The best TDK Bale cowled head is Medicom's head (which utilizes a scan of the actual cowl), not Hot Toys.

The best Keaton Batman head/cowl is NECA's 7" one, not Hot Toys. Every company should be approaching NECA's ingenious way of incorporating an actual head underneath a mask, but they don't.

Same applies for Hot Toys Affleck. It's a gorgeous looking figure overall, but in terms of the headsculpt, which is the discussion at hand, it's not even close to Jakks' scan. Again, not only do you have the weird mouths and eyes giving him a catlike look, you had a sculptor that makes mistakes and idealizes everything from the mouth to the furrowed brow of the cowl. Jakks literally scanned the man, you can't get better than that. Now if the argument was that the Hot Toys production verion has better paint apps or more stuff, then yeah, it is better. But we're talking about sculpts, and the Jakks one is better. Hell, I'm crazy enough to buy a loose Hot Toys head and prime both of them to prove my point.

This isn't favoritism or loyalty to any company. I'm just saying, some of these companies have superior sculpts under their plain, sloppy, $10 retail paint jobs.

Thank you for explaining your point further. Oh I'd love to see The same work on HT head. I understand why you don't like moveable/swappable eyes and mouthplates but I do love The option. And those eyes have so much life it's frightening. I definitely dig HT's eyes over anything I've seen yet. I also get your "idealized" point. I get it. The way I see it, it's Art. They have their vision of a particular character/face. It's not easy to capture just one moment of a human head. They always do their best to bring Life to their figures. Whereas The scan thing.. I don't see The appeal or beauty of it. I don't even see The ressemblance on The Jakks. Maybe it's just The poor paint application. Or maybe scanning isn't enough to bring a figure to life? Something to think about
