Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
Yeah, I always thought Jack was WAY too tall. This is why I pose Elizabeth with Medi Jack. I cancelled Will strictly because of his height issues (even taller than Jack). I can't let Davy go, though
Having Will in hand now, he's not a giant compared to Jack, I think the height difference is about right, Orlando is just a bit taller than Johnny.
Here's my view on the POTC line's height issues.
Pirate garbed, booted figures like Will and Jack are coming out too tall because of the extenders and where the ball joint connects in the boots, but amongst each other they look fine.
Davy Jones is a heavily unique figure in his construction and comes in at the height the male figures ought to be, so he looks shorter compared to them.
The Hot Toys female body is just horribly disproportionate to the men. The height they averaged women to be when deciding the size of their 1/6 female body is just way off. I was thinking last night, and Keira's leg just about fits as well as Orlando's in the boot at the end of AWE, yet if you did that with the figures, would never work.
So, while there are some height discrepencies in the line, the only one that's a considerable issue is the female to male ratio, the man to man may not be perfect but it's close enough you can ignore it but the male-female is just blatant.
