Pulp Fiction Jules review

[Michael Crawford]

I know it's been a bit spotty lately on the review front, but I've been traveling a lot for work and pleasure. I swear things will get back to normal soon!

I'm checking out the new Star Ace release tonight - Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction! You can find my review here:

Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!

Detailed and objective review as always Michael, thanks. I can’t agree on the collar though - from all the pics shown it’s this tailoring detail that bothers me most. The collar in particular is what distinguishes the movie suit from a generic one, and this looks like a generic 1/6 white shirt. Maybe not as noticeable on the shelf? I guess a custom shirt would be an option.

I’m a big PF fan, but at this price it’s more a case of not settling for less than hoped for than buying it simply because it’s the best example available. I did that with the HT Star Wars line and their dodgy portraits and I kind of regret it.

The collar on the shirt is slightly too big - I mentioned that - but it's not ridiculous compared to other sixth scale shirts. Something custom would be the best option I'd think.

Great review Michael. While i dont think its as bad as some are pointing out, its not $220 fig. I might wait as pick one up once the price drops..

The Afro is too short... Among other things.

Hot Toys first Sam Jackson sculpt was The Octopus from that mediocre Spirit movie.

In fact... Mike reviewed it himself. Nick Fury was the 2nd attempt.

That might be because it's not an afro.

You mention in the review that there are 3 directors that can do no cinematic wrong. Who are the other 2?

Michael Bay and Alan Smithee

As I said, there isn't any that I feel 100% confident with, because they all have their 'missteps'. But Nolan and Carpenter are two others that are in my top three for consistently delivering films I really enjoy.
