New jack nicholson "the shining" figure!!!

[Rock83]

Yes. Theres that and next having these 2 kids "come play with you" if it ever happens again!

what is it with you and little girls?

 

[galactiboy]

The repaint by Les really adds a lot... be interesting to see how a CRM would look. I know they are essentially the same, but recasts usually lose some of the detail, etc.

 

[Voorhees27]

I know i'll probably get hung for saying this but I think and have always found the CRM Jack sculpt to be one of the most God awful looking things ever. Even with repaint you can't do anything to revamp it and we're talking about the master Les' repaint too.

This new "Subway" version is heaps and heaps better. The outfit ............ ah you get my point.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[galactiboy]

I think its a bit of a stylized look... not real accurate to Nicholson, but you still get the right feel. Pictures don't really do the CRM justice, but trust me its cool figure, IMO.

crm is cool man! this new figure has a better likeness but still i love the crm. and damians repainted figure looks dam cool! he could use a belt with da shirt tucked in. but still. repaint looks dam good

 

[metaphorge]

Now we need a new Alex....

 

[6joker9]

damian... i take it its the flash that makes the head seem a bit over shiny?

 

[Damian]

yes, but without the flash the image has awfull color. Like i said i am not a god photographer, better said, i suck taking pictures. LOL

I think everyone agrees that the subway figure is awesome or in other words better then the CRM, I was interested in the Crm at one point but not anymore.

 

[Rock83]

never found crm any good either,really awful.

 

[EVILFACE]

I can't get over how kewl this figure is. Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, Vader and Jack Torrance are figures I can't wait to get this year.

 

[Voorhees27]

This thread is creeping over to page 2 so I thought i'd bump it with this wonderful painting.........................

 

[galactiboy]

That's pretty cool... funny thing is someone who is unfamiliar with the film might just think its a nice painting of two girls

 

[Deckard]

LoL, it'd be cool if they made one of those electronic paintings where the image changes, and had just the 2 girls but then it flashed every once in a while to them laying on the floor with the axe. You could make people think they were going insane.

does it look much better, vor-man? i have some blu-rays that just look naff. escape from new york actually looks worse on blu-ray - just a lot of edge enhancement to give the illusion of sharpness. everything looks like its a cardboard cutout.

 

[uscmhicks]

is this difference big from dvd Roy ?. I really thought about ordering it last week but after hearing the predator blu-ray conversion sucked I stopped ordering late 70s and 80s flicks.

we asked the same question.

great minds and all that bud! i have the predator blu-ray and i actually think it has a pretty beautiful picture. the jungle really looks amazing. there is some grain (same for first blood) but this is the original film itself rather than from any transfer problems. blade runner is another movie that just looks simply beautiful on blu-ray. some of these old movies are good, and others have been fobbed off as quick 'HD' releases. i think T2 is another bad one. the crow too. need to wait till the studios get their butts in gear with these and rerelease them.
