Now this looks interesting!

Anyone familiar with the brand? Are they the same guys that did Immortan Joe?

Immortan was by Premier Toys.

Present has released quite a few figures, which you'll find in various threads here. I haven't had any in hand so can't judge personally.

Oh right, yeah. Present made that Indy figure I think.

Yes, he was theirs.

The Mask is their most recent release.

This thread seems to be rather slow, I had imagined more people would be interested in this. I remember years ago people were paying crazy money for a custom figure of Bill the Butcher, made by Rainman.

A) this thread is in the Historical/Military section, which is not the most accurate sub-forum for it in my humble opinion.
B) this is probably the 5th or 6th recasted version of this figure, so I think everyone who wants a Butcher has probably got one by now.
C) People were only paying crazy money because it was a Rainman figure. It wasn't that it was a popular character, it was more that it was just a figure created by an "elite" creator.

Either way, I think recast figures suck, so this thread can stay here, for all I care, where it will receive little to no attention.

I have been living under a rock it seems...

 

[Freakazoid!]

Great likeness! I hope Present Toys will at some point attempt their own Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood. There is an oil-covered Plainview on the way. I'd prefer him in his travel / squab-hunting attire.

Interesting but I don't remember him wearing a bowtie.

Interesting but I don't remember him wearing a bowtie.

He did, but it was sort of hidden with the rest of the tie being a bit of thick neck wrap so it sort of gets lost. The shirt collar is also wrong

 

[Godfather1408]

Looks great until you put the hat on they well and truly screwed that up!

Apparently the knives and belt are metal and leather so that's a nice touch!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wow, they put the seam on the hat right on the front.

 

[xipotec]

Its not bad ....a bit cartooney sculpt.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Wow that hat. Woof.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Yea the hat is pretty awful, but the rest looks pretty nice. Tailoring is sharp and paint apps are bette than they used to do

 

[Wor-Gar]

The longcoat is way too bright -- it should be more maroon/burgundy-red. Anyway, at least that's workable with dye.

I'd say the hat has to go.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Wow, they put the seam on the hat right on the front.

They put it there to distract you from the two seams on the mustache.

 

[parrasmaniac]

You can see in this figure an example of how a nice sculpt can be totally destroyed by a little clear mistake. The moustache.

And the front seam on the hat.... not a good choice.

I remember all the "suffering" with the Sideshow R2 and its dome, then selling it, and now I always check the seams of everything lol

All in all, Redman seems to be the best Butcher around.
