New jack nicholson "the shining" figure!!!

[galactiboy]

It may be more a choice of expression... but he looks more dishelved in the film. This sculpt while close seem to be a tad off here and there. I think Jacks face was a bit fuller in this film as well.

from some angles is not nicholson . but still a dam great sculpt! dam great figure! and a very good price... 4 now.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I don't want to sound like a naysayer... because this figure is great.

And I think as a representation of Jack Torrance from the film its near perfection, but if it was just a Nicholson likeness it wouldn't be as good.

It was refreshing to see some back to bones packaging. Standard 12" packaging is usually so large and cumbersome - and it's not really warranted for most figures.

 

[6joker9]

yeah. great package 4 sure. nice and slim.

It's close enough for a unlicensed item.

I think some of the Hot Toys and Enterbay figures may be changing our expectations a bit. While I agree that this sculpt isn't a pitch-perfect Nicholson, I think that he looks a heck of a lot more like his "real world" counterpart than the vast majority of, say, Sideshow 1/6 figures.

I loooooooved the Sideshow Modern Horror Line so much in the day (RIP). They are the figures that got me collecting 12" figures (cough, dolls).

Those days are long behind me. Sideshow hasn't released a 12" figure thats rocked my shelf in a long, long time IMO. It's sad, but on the other hand it's great to see other companies pushing the envelope in this format.

Got my Jack from ABCExpress today and the right boot has snapped off at the shin, cracking the female part of the ball joint and now the boot it loose in the box!

I told myself that after the Ski-mask Gremlin fiasco that I wold never buy again from Asia b/c if it comes broke and you wanna send it back, you're gonna eat it on shipping. I wish I had listened to myself. Luckily I bought two and this on will be the one that goes up for sale. I'm so disgusted, I refuse to open it anymore--so don't ask for pics.

 

[EVILFACE]

That sucks man.

Buuuuuuuuuut pics or GTFO.

 

[Voorhees27]

Sorry to hear about that Slade .........

So ya know, no pics = GTFO.

 

[galactiboy]

It's close enough for a unlicensed item.

Definitely agree... and the slight differences could be a direct result of that. He's easily one of the coolest figures I own... and I can't get over how fine the tailoring is!

Here:

GB claims ABCExpress will refund me partially. I have my doubts. Hopefully, my Toys2 Jack will be in better shape.

 

[galactiboy]

Is that broken?

Kind of looks like the ball joint would fit back in there... at least if its similar to the HT foot pegs.

 

[6joker9]

tough break slade... litteraly it seems. did it break during shipping or do u think it came from subway that way? luckily u bought 2 so just part the broken one out on ebay man... and we feel ur pain.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, it looks like HT and BBI feet, I would try to put the ball back in it.

 

[sladesuperagent]

I think there was a shock to the package which cracked the ball joint.

The foot stays in, but is terribly loose.

I have a loose left foot too but not serious enough that it won't stand alone. I noticed the ankles were a bit loose too.

 

[sladesuperagent]

Wow, ABC already got back to me asking for a pic--what's it like midnight over there right now?

Anyone have the back of a naked Sat. Toys body photographed so I can compare the joints? I can't get see down into the sock on the other leg well enough to confirm that the joint is broken and I don't wanna try and pop off the other boot and shin. It's either broken or a design flaw, but I can't tell with him clothed.
