Looks decent in the video... while I'll miss the non-stop laugh riot this thread has been, I'm happy that people might actually get their figure.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

Yeah, I find it fairly decent. I'm sure it will look better in hand, like many other figures. If they had choosed to address the delays, not lying, not blocking customers, and not bragging about game-changing the industry, it would have been a great first release.

Can't see why it's putting pressure on him, he's not making it.

I was joking.

How is the stitching on the end of this green jacket collar looking?

Don't know how to embed a Facebook video, but can't you see it from the link?

It doesn't look too bad to be honest except for the too-small head.

Head is definitely 1/7th scale against its 1/6th body. They didn't do their calculations for shrinkage right and likely didn't have the cash to redo the initial production run when they saw the heads were wee small (yes, that last sentence is pure speculation, denier).

Like the sculpt...but then again its KA Kim...

The tailoring on the Blue Jacket is bad...its way too puffy and looks like a Barbie level job.

Would like to see the green coat in close up....see if its any better. Over all so far looks like a solid B-......the price is the only thing keeping it out of c+ range.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

My question is do we think Wonka will be the same ***** show as Lennon? Or will they learn from Lennon?

We should expect the same......unless there has been a total change in management. Business ethics do not change from "experience".

I want the Wonka...but will never pre-order from them.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

It is BAD folks- quit trying to make it better than it is- head too small- disaster- tailoring..uhh poor to say the least This is what I can see from the pics alone- I'm sure the cheap production will show in many other areas in hand

I don't think the clothing looks bad nor does the sculpt....however the size of the head is a concern.
Or it could be the body is over sized.

I've seen worse.... I do think M8s antics have set alot of collectors minds already. Once your set on it being total trash your thoughts will stay that way regardless.
I'm staying open minded until I see it in hand I'd be curious to see the other outfits on a normal body.

I think the long neck might of been to accommodate the chocker thing which they dropped because it didn't sit right.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

The jacket looks terrible to me, nothing like the cut of the real slim fit jacket.
That head/neck combo is going to look mental with the black v neck.
Also what happened to his choker, And glue your own patches? This product has premium written all over it.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

Wow you’re right! I totally forgotten about the choker. Where is it!?!

So they took it off the figure because they couldn't get the cast to sit right.
Pretty lame excuse.

Is that an official exclamation?

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

What saves this is the sculpt, goofy teeth aside. The genius of KA Kim shines through. Everything else looks third rate.

One thing - is the non singing head definitely too small? It's hard to photograph a head without something seeming off but in the videos it looks okay.

 

[pixletwin]

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

That’s the way it seems to me as well. And photos things look disproportionate, but in the video it looks great to me.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon


The space around his shoulders in the tray makes it look as if his shoulders are bigger than they are; and therefore the head looks smaller. In addition part of his hair is obscured and the photo was taken directly above his waist, so the feet and head are going to look smaller.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

This company is so bad, even after the first in hand pic's people doubt it exists. I mean, what other company would that be a concern for?

IF and that is a big IF, this thing actually gets out there, it is not terrible. I would even forgive all the blowhard hyperbole. But, KNOWING that production was nowhere close to delivery and making repeated promises...WTH? It just makes no sense to behave that was as a company. Really baffling to say the least.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

Looking at that Eric guys pic, I think the guitar is undersized as well.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

I'm just so happy the green army shirt looks ok, and not like that ugly moss covered rug in their initial pics they showed.

The neck is definitely long to accommodate the shirt and suit collar, and its gonna be a mess esp. with the black shirt look.

Now to look for an extra body that will be a good fit.
