Where is that PodCast guy to defend Steal8.

Ah-oh! They've heard our complaints about rendered pics and put in a finger. Too bad the fingers rendered as well and their piano a recast.

They are both based on a Steinway piano, they are going to look similar aren't they?

As long as it looks like Johns steinway I couldn't give two ******s

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

A few people called them out on Facebook, and the posts have now been deleted.

These people are not smart, are they? All they had to do was claim they based their effort on the same make/model of real-life piano and that the similarity was purely coincidental. Deleting the comments is practically an admission of guilt.

I think everyone should of written them off as soon as they said Jack Burton was going to come with his truck

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

This is LUDICROUS
A Company showing off a piano and we have no idea about the figure itself which was supposed to be "ready" months ago.................a joke and a bad one

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

s both a collector and designer of figures I think fans are a bit crap to be honest. Entitled, whiney little boys many of them/us. There just a lot of unceccessary mean spirited comments and folks seem to actively go out of their way to be really negative. Just in general. Personally I feel the entire 1:6 collector community needs a serious ***** slap. But that's just me and I doubt I am alone there.

I still don't think M8 deliberately set out to fool or lie to folks. But they are doing things that allow folks to think the worst and that that's leaving them very open to redicule.
I'm not going to argue any more at this stage as they have allowed room for the negativity.

It's just too much work to just get a basic message across here so I'll no longer try.

Funny looking back on nonsense like this in light of these developments.

MUH BOXART

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

Except the music rest doesn't resemble that on John's Steinway.

Though, coincidentally, it does resemble the one on the ten year old Sega:

Which leads to the question, what exactly is Molecule8 doing here? Doing a deal with Sega? Recasting the Sega? Just pretending to have made a piano?

Maybe it was based on steinways limited edition John Lennon series like this, looks very similar

I was completely joking. Aside from the misappropriated piano.

I think what they've done is scanned the Sega and 3D printed it.

But created their own version of the stool.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

That's a different shaped rest again.

Molecule8's matches the Sega, which is the giveaway that they haven't designed the piano specifically for Lennon, but have taken something that already existed.




And a later render by Molecule8:

I think what they've done is scanned the Sega and 3D printed it.

But created their own version of the stool.

I could be wrong, but the Sega Grand Pianist - and seemingly by extension, M8's ersatz product - looks to be based on the Yamaha C7, not a Steinway.

The music desks certainly match.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

I don't think this is a recast version at all wish I had saved the pics reason I saw this when going through the hidden pictures there was a few with progress of the Piano. There are a bunch of hidden pictures that I saved and more, I never got chance to access this is what comes up now when trying to access those hidden pictures.

I see this 2 ways M8 are easy targets because they have no way helped themselves so of course people will stir the pot more.
2ndly There could be a bunch of reasons why the music rest looks like that...... I do find it funny how people can question that and still not notice the missing apple from Lennon's outfit

 

[Godfather1408]

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

I'm not overall sure what to believe from this company to be honest their sloppy approach leaves a lot to be desired.
I could be wrong and those pictures could of just been for show or some use.

I'm questioning my own thoughts on this due to not knowing where I stand with my order. Granted I've only paid a small fee but it seems to me like they can't give a simple answer to any question. Deleting comments and private messaging doesn't help.

So really who the hell knows what they are doing anymore.

I don't blame you..... I've seen knock off companies market better than this. Not even Redman toys recasting has got as much bad press as Molecule8
I've kept my order only because it's a £40 deposit which if all goes wrong I can get back.

I want them to succeed because I want Wonka.

I'm genuinely feel sorry for anyone whos backed them or still has a horse in the race. Not remotely being condescending here. I was looking forward to Wonka as well.
