Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow DX06 Spec + Pics

[Gipetto0812]

I was one who originally liked EB's sculpt even the latest revised looking one but now with this new one from HT, for me, there's no contest, HT wins. I see much more Depp in both sculpts from HT than the one by EB. But to each his own, right? :

I kind of agree with cr, the EB smirk sculpt is better than HT.
Actually I'm one of (maybe) very few people who like the smiling sculpt.

Wow new pics are unreal... ordered.

 

[MarfMaster]

Man, just when I thought HT couldn't get any worse, they go and do something like this...






AND TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!!!!!!

Wow, the smiling sculpt is perfect. The figure was nearly perfect before, although I had a few issues with the serious sculpt. But now...it is 100% perfect in my eyes. The strongest HT release (imo) since the HT T2 T-800, and maybe even stronger than that.

You think the normal HT face is worse than EB? This comparison with the real Depp says otherwise.

doesnt matter if eb's final sculpt turned out to be lousy. point is, a better sculpt exists(eb's proto) that best ht's ones.

again, there's something about that smirk and that eyes that dont gel well on ht's sculpt. i cant tell if the it's the eyes that are off, or the smirk, but combined, the expression is so obviously not jack's. it's someone else's smirk pasted on a look-alike.

even the serious face i have issue with from the beginning. it's like they're trying to make jack cool by making him look serious. but jack as character is cool precisely because inside jack's head is a carnival. he's a clown, a roller coaster, a fun house, etc all rolled into one. a moody contemplating serious expression is unbecoming for jack.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on the sculpt. I personally think the HT sculpt is a better likeness than the EB one you posted. Just my opinion. I'm not a big fan of the serious face though, not because it doesn't look like Depp, but because the smirking sculpt embodies the character of Jack way more. My figure will never have the serious sculpt.

^^ As everyone visual perception and brains are different.. People's opinion differs. I would think the majority of consensus prefers HT's.

I guess it also reflects the sculptor's perception too...

Personally, I never saw Depp in any of EB's variant HSs

While I am surprised that some still prefer EB's sculpt, we all have our own eyes and our own way of seeing the character. I would say that's why it's good that there are multiples of the same character being produced, ppl can choose which one they feel fits the character best for how they see the character. Yes there's a majority, myself included who really love this new sculpt from HT, but why should it matter if someone else sees something different? At the end of the day, you are the one displaying this in your home/office for of your own reasons and your own enjoyment. What does it matter of someone on this board who you probably never met agrees with you?

agreed. everyone's brain, and hence, visual perception is wired differently. but as always, i trust my eyes, even over an overwhelming majority. hehe...

Hell yeah that box is awesome! And it comes with a flag? Damn I cant wait!

 

[Kuzeh]

Wow!!
Amazing!!
This pic is just impressive!!

I still think thought that EB did a good damn job too...
It forced HT to change the expression...

Great for us! !

what happened to this board today? shouldnt everyone jump on my throat for not joining the hallelujah chorus? this kind of calm sensible conversation feels weirdly uncharacteristic of this place.

HOLY SHAT. Do want. Cant wait.

Maybe they will if you keep making posts like that

 

[Noodlerizer]

I think I might just get another credit card so I can afford this figure

 

[Balrog]

Paint on the factory sculpts are so well done! It's really exciting to finally see this in packaging and about to be released

 

[dominishin]

Inb4 "it's a different sculpt!"

*PS, no it's not mother ____er!

 

[gunm]

<-- Firmly in the HT camp on this one. No need for a majority consensus here, I just think HT is better. Heck, I think this figure is one of the best ones released this year, and it was a bumper crop of super excellent figs from all manufacturers.
