Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

They need to keep refining the feet

And the hands...please the hands...those are the same weird flippers that were on the "figure" in the box that they claimed was neither a production nor prototype...it also looks like a render...the arm bend?
Maaaaann!!!! I would have loved a licensed Travis Bickle!!!! I am more disappointed about M8 not being real over that than the people who are losing $300 to M8 are...M8 is the worst!

There's a reason why Hot Toys doesn't use bendable fingers... They just look goofy. (+ 'Imagine' - pun intended - the plastic/rubber splitting after several months...)

HAHAHA very innovative company, will it include the free levitation stand?

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

The depth of field and the reflections in the dressed standing figure are off. Something very fishy going on there with photoshop and/or CGI. Part of the coffee cup behind him is out of focus and part is not. Could be a simply just trying to throw the background out of focus to draw attention to the figure but the surface he is standing on looks like CGI reflection passes to me.

Very odd. The scale of the grey figure being held with the necklace is also very odd. If that is in fact a silicone layer over the endoskeleton than at least they have revealed how the head will supposedly attach although it seems like it wont work as shown - I thought both sculpts included the neck.

Those hands look pretty terrible. So how was this supposed to be shipping in May when they are "refining" things?

Simple, it wasn't. Do you see the headsculpt isn't in the picture? I bet they're waiting on final approval for that, which could take some time in itself.

Here is a PSA from a concerned fellow collector for everyone who pre-ordered handing $300 over to this company MONTHS ago...please, cancel those pre-orders...put your money back in the bank...pre-order through BBTS (if you want to hold out hope)...and move onto something else knowing that one day...perhaps late next year you may get a shipping notice from BBTS..."MAY, get a notice"...

Yea that grey scale figure is no way 1/6.

Don't worry guys, these photos are months old. This is not what the figure currently looks like. Right now, it looks great. They just can't show it to you now because. . . LOOK! Here's a render of of the headsculpt of the Arhur figure.

My post wasn't serious, mostly sarcasm. Obviously never ready and will not be for some time.

Oh I know, my reply was in frustration to their absurd promises and announcements. Sorry about that.

No worries, always hard to tell with written text. No tone, no inflection, lose a lot of the important stuff.

Eamon O'Donoghue Because I do work for Molecule 8 and I am witnessing first hand the care an attention that is going into this. I could tell you just how much care and time went into the glasses alone.

Eamon designs box art, great box art, but that's the extent of the involvement he has with a company I believe.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

A lot of care and attention went into the Shrunken Head Studios Creepshow figure, as well. . .but it takes a hell of a lot more than that to put out a good figure. Not to say that can't happen here, of course. Also, extra care and attention is a bit antithetical to the prospect of releasing a figure a couple of months out from pre-order, as promised.

Exactly!
