OH MY LORD, this is easily figure of the year. ABSOLUTELY no question about it. This thing is good........mess your pants good. Just gorgeous presentation. A work of art, period
The figure, the box, the accessories, the booklet, it's just incredible. They've put so much effort into this baby, and it shows, and then some.......and then some more. THIS is THE figure to own. I don't care what else you've got on preorder, terminator, two face, whatever, NOTHING is worth the cancelling of this figure. I'm just speechless. The skin texture is just incredible, the tailoring, 2nd to none. Even on his hands, the attention to little liver spots, wrinkles, and the slight varicose veins are astonishing. Here's some pics i just snapped quickly, no futzing, straight out of the box. Excuse the repetitive nature, but just tried to show every angle. Out of box quality is through the roof. As usual, with all the positive, there has to be SOME negatives, and i only have three.
Firstly, the cat. IMVHO, the thing is horrid, it looks terrible. Funny how they seem to struggle to get 1/6th pets nicely done, but they nail the humans
Don't get me wrong, it's nicely done and is HT quality, but it looks just plainly lifeless. Very dead looking.
2ndly, due to Hot Toys absolute accuracy, they've even given him the old style jumpsuit/pantaloom underwear, that i've found seems to give him 'bucketass syndrome' making him look a little overly doughy without annoying futzing. Think i might take them out.
Lastly, where the hell is this mysterious hat that they were including? I didn't get one
! I've kind of found in certain light the chair has the 'plasticy' look to the edges also, but it certainly dissappears with every photo taken
Also for all you crazy sock fetishists out there, yes, the Don has socks, black ones.
Money shot
This is what you're getting, ALOT of VERY VERY finely detailed work
