There not THAT bad!

yea it seems hot toys might have a few duds but come on they are not ssc

 

[mr.fan]

Every time new pics surface of new releases, it's the same story. People base their decision on weak pics... I say wait till OMG wows us all.

 

[krec9]

the indy pics were awful then i saw all the customs being done thats what won me over .

 

[moose]

Dam I thought i had time before they release this. So this is still on for January. I hope

 

[zuckuss77]

Yeah i see now we are spoiled , coming home to a bad ass collection.Unless these things are a living creatures that we feed and there ripping ken's spine out i dont think everyone will be happy.

Well, the pics don't look so hot right now, but I'm sure this figure will look much much better once more people have it in hand.
I do think it looks a bit funny proportions-wise, and the gaps in the mandibles look ugly.
Don't really care as I'm not getting this figure, but I am curious to see more and hopefully better pics.

Okay, mandibles look strange, the yellowish color on the head stops so abruptly that it makes it look like a seam in some of the far away pics, Bio looks much more HT P1-like..uhm...

I love the body paint from what I can see, especially the arms/shoulders. I think if they just would have used a different technique on the head pattern, and made the mandibles fit in better (or just give us two different head sculpts ffs), it would be getting much better reviews.

What's everyone _____ing about?
We all know that as awesome as Hot Toys' paint apps are, they're not quite the same on the final product -- but they're still awesome.

I'd like to draw the attention of the haters to this simple fact:
Remember when in-hand pictures of Falconer showed up and the community was convinced that he was too green? I was okay with the bright, saturated color those images implied, but that's not even what I ended up getting. The final color was more of an olive shade. When it comes to color, pictures are terrible things on which to base an argument or cancellation. I honestly feel sorry for those of you who haven't figured this out by now and made the rash decision to drop your orders.

As for those complaining about the headsculpt being the same as Shadow's, what were you expecting? I thought we'd established that ever since the prototype pictures first went up. I'd worry less about sculpt consistencies and more about possible cases of memory loss.


Lastly, the mandible seams appeared noticeable on Shadow's prototype pictures as well, yet the end result wasn't nearly as bad as we'd thought.

Why not wait to see more pictures (especially from the great OMG) or better yet, wait to have the thing in-hand? If you're displeased with it, the good news is it's a Hot Toys figure and there will undoubtedly be someone willing to buy it off you so you'll get all of the money back.




The haters ask whether or not Hot Toys has learned anything, but I'm more inclined to wonder whether or not the haters have learned anything. This is nothing new and most of their argumentative points were shot before this thing was even announced.

Blade speaks the truth, I will wait for proper pics before I decide to order.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Eh, pictures might not always be 100% accurate, but when it looks the same in every one, posted by different people..

I'm sure anything in-hand will look better than in the pictures, but I have a hard time believing the entire head paint will have changed.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

While OMG is a great photogropher and loyal SSF, i can't trust his pictures as they are done perfecrly, as in better that the human eye.

His MKV pics showed a great silver. in-hand to the naked eye it was a dull grey, because of the intense lighting and lenses it looked too different

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

^ Exactly..they are altered to look incredible..

 

[Rotfish]

I'll admit, his pictures do look good, because they're meant to. My response to the comments in this thread was geared more towards those who take the first halfway-decent pictures to heart and bash the figure.

And Lar'ja, I never said the paint on his head would "change" by the time we got it. I simply said the pictures are not always an accurate representation of the piece in real life. Once again, look back at Falconer. Quite a few (if not most) of the pictures displayed a dark, saturated green when the real thing was an olive color. You can't deny the difference there.

Actually going through these pics again after a night's rest, he does look a ____ load better.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

The head paint is the only problem for me.

The head paint is the only problem for me.

Guess that's the general consensus it seems. But really, I'm starting to love the apps.

 

[Rotfish]

Body and armor paint apps are beyond perfection for me. I'm only mildly phased by the forehead paint, but he should look great in-hand. The single nitpick I have that's really worth mentioning (and that doesn't depend on picture quality) is that they painted a larger portion of the eye yellow. Not sure why.

Exactly my thoughts.
