Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

why? although both EB and HT sculpts arnt perfect they're alot better than the old HT sculpt.

Not true - The smirking Cannibal Jack is still the best HT have produced, the new DX although the bandana and hair etc look a lot beter, the face itself (the serious face) needs improvement. The new smiling face is nearly there - still needs some tweaks.

I use the smirking Jack from the cannibal Jack version on my v1 Jack.

I agree with Jokes and Bats, both new sculpts are off, the smiling one just a bit. The serious one I don't care for at all.

Jay, I have no idea if I'd sell it or not if the new one improves any. I'll have to wait and see.

If your already happy with the costume, I'd reccomend picking up Adam's custom head when he's finsihed.

Look at Teddy's custom Jack using Adam's head.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

How much would that cost?

 

[Deckard]

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

I don't know it isn't finsihed yet but I think his Bruce was around $75.

Ah ok, I just wish there's a difference on his costume on AWE & OST so that I won't be confused to sell my V1 now or not, but from the looks of it..I doubt there is or is there..??

From what Ive noticed thus far, the only differences are minor.

-Face: Red "X" scar/tattoo on his face in OST, NOT present in AWE
-Wig: Has longer blonde dreads in OST than in AWE, seems like more hair too. There also seems to be some new things tied into his hair in OST as well.
-Scarf: Piece o' eight is different from AWE to OST. The OST, it now has pieces of bone and beads in it.
-Vest: Vest has more gold embroidery on it that in the past films.
-Shruken Head: Jack got his Mum's shruken head from his father at the end of AWE, but it wasnt seen very well. It wasnt included in the HT AWE either. Not sure if it will be included with this DX or not.
-Flintlocks: It appears Jack now carries two flintlock pistols in OST than in the previous films.

Those are the only noticeable differences that I have noticed so far.

Hope that helps.

Oh I see. Hmmm yeah, you're right..only minor. Thanks for pointing out these differences. So if I'm gonna ask you some advice, should I sell my HT AWE as it will look redundant if displayed together w/ the upcoming HT OST or it would be great to just keep it as it would look awesome if both of them are displayed together in my shelf

I sold mine as soon as the DX announcement was made, so it all depends on weather you mind having "double" of a character on your shelf.

For me, the price of these things, I really cant afford to have multiple of the same character(s) unless its something greatly different. Example: Luke Skywalker Tattooine and Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight. They are different enough for me to warrant having both on my shelf. But something like Captain Jack or Iron Man, for that matter, I just cant afford having so many of the same.

But yeah, if you decide to sell, Id do it soon. I just sold my AWE and I got $385 for him.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

So with this DX version, that means HT will have done one from each movie EXCEPT the first.....

Ohh so you already sold your AWE, ok. Hmm in fact I really mind having "double" in a certain character cause although let's say it's my one of my fave character, I always get the feeling that instead of having the same character twice, why not buy another character from it that would vary. Guess I just have to think this thru all over again.

You got a great deal btw, congrats! Thanks for all the advice. Appreciate it!

Yeah thats the way I look at it. Its going to be hard for me to decide once Hot Toys releases the 1989 Batman and Joker....Im going to be torn..lol since I have the DX's....gah!

I'm sure you can consider the '89 version of Batman cause they have diff. design of batsuits.

Yeah, knowing me I will probably getting both versions of Bats and Jokers. Just because the 1989 versions are dear to my heart. Those WERE the characters from my child hood!

Now, Why hasnt HT released more pics of this guy already!! We need more pics!!

I'm like Rzeznikkk too, don't like to have the same character twice if there isn't a big difference between them. I couldn't attach to any one of them It's like, one is better than the other. Will i look with the same eyes at the lesser one? Lol. That's why i sold my koto jack, even though that one was a statue in different scale and with a diorama. Wouldn't like to have two jacks, i wouldn't know at which one to look

Only exception is the joker, but he looks different so i'm ok with that (clown, bank robber, police)
