Not sure but whatever it is, it sounds as though it’s meant to help it hold up longer to prevent flaking so soonI wonder if this is in regard to sunlight or oxygen

Ya know she’s been nude many times in movies?I was wondering how see-thru her outfit will be... thinking hard on it.
It's been a thing as of late.Hmm funny how two companies releasing Morpheus's at the time. Not sure Which I like better, maybe the FB abit more because it comes with the sofa lol.
Yeah I seen it with the Street Fighter Chun-Li's. Makes me wonder if these companies are secretly communicating with each other or they're giving away their failed attempts to someone elseIt's been a thing as of late.
Oh damn. They’re doing a Persephone.
The chair should be redWas the chair more of a red tone in the movie?
The Present Toys looks more brown - is FB or PT more movie accurate?
I already bought 2 previous Morpheus figures (forget which company but both were called "Spiritual Leader"). Regret buying those now, I just tossed the boxes last week - should of saved and sold to recoup partial funds.
The head sculpts on both FB and PT are not that good but I'm leaning towards picking up the Fishbone - Fishbone has crap bodies but has the movie accurate (?) red chair and more accessories. Present Toys is more reliable when it comes to quality and a better body.
If Present Toys keeps up the quality from the recent figures like Jack, Leon, Nucky, and Doc Holiday 2.0,
Wasn’t Max before those though? Just like Indy who also wasn’t great. Their latest figures seem to be a step up, including the just released two Bill the Butcher figures.But then there was Max.

Does it though? Max was released early this year like late Feb early March judging by the thread. Clearly it had to then be manufactured before the other releases I mentioned that have just come out with in the last 2-3 months. The tailoring alone on recent releases, suggest something has changed for the better compared to that of the Max figure based on pics and reviews. I’ve got some parts from the Nucky figure and it’s quite the upgrade, quality wise, from their Indy (the only full PT figure I’ve owned), particular the cut and sew.Max was this year. Whatever came out this year counts, since you can't really tell when one or the other was really made.

If I were to go down this particular rabbit hole, I’d go for the PT. Though, like you previously mentioned, probably best to just wait and see for in hand pics/videos. Or place an order somewhere with a lower deposit than OSK if there is. Gundammit tends to do really low deposits so I’d probably go with them if I decide I want one.
That’s fair. Not really trying to convince anyone. Just going based on what’s been released and what order regardless of when POs went up. Could also be different factories putting out different quality for each figure as well.Nucky and Doc were #24 and #25 on PT's list, and Max #33, yet Nucky and Doc took longer... so more development time maybe? But then the Butcher is #48 and #49, yet you say he looks good in an even shorter window of time then Max. It's really strange how long some of these figures take. Gus Fring still out there -- #23 or #66, which is which?
So many figures PT hasn't even finished yet. Who the hell knows how any of them will come out? All I know is, from what I've seen, Present Toys is a wait-and-see company for me.
Am I mad for preferring a Fishbone figure?! Never thought I’d see the day.

Their’s comes with the chair, which is the other display option I’ve been wanting for Morpheus- since I already have all the Toys Works figures. TW included two coats so I should be able to perfectly recreate the ‘pill scene’ now.
PT’s sculpt is quite poor, so I wouldn’t have much hope for their Neo or Trinity, but the Toys Works versions also aren’t great so I’m open to replacing those.
I follow this YouTube channel called ‘The Matrix Explained’ which delves very deep into the lore and fan theories which has only increased my enjoyment of the trilogy. (I’ll never acknowledge that fourth movie.)
And it’s about damn time The Twins got some 1/6 love! Their sculpts don’t need to be perfect for me so I’ll be getting them regardless.
FB have their work cut out for them in producing a Persephone that captures the looks of Monica Bellucci. I’ll keep my expectations low but that’ll be an interesting one.
Here’s the pic they’ve used for her teaser which presumably confirms it will be her Reloaded outfit and not the red dress from Revolutions.

Kind of need a Merovingian though, as they really are a set.
After those, I’d be most interested in a Seraph, Naiobi, and The Oracle- possibly with a bench.
The Architect would only be worth having if he came with a full diorama including wall of monitors- and I just don’t have space for that.
I have no idea what the quality of the FB figure will be, but may pick it up primarily for the chair. I hope Persephone and the Twins turn out well. I prefer Persephone’s red dress, but the off white is fine as well. The only other Matrix characters I’d be interested in after these would be Merovingian and Niobe.
