Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Pennywise

[karamazov80]

Hmm, I guess will be waiting for Betomatali's version.

 

[WolfBoy]

This thing looks......weird

 

[burtial]

I'm not feeling this one at all. Looks a bit like lazy cosplay...

Agreed.

 

[ShadowX81]

Man this thing is a mess. The sculpt is way too small and underdetailed, and the outfit is both too loose and too tight in all the wrong places.

Ive been looking forward to a pennywise for awhile, but this frankly is garbage.

Don't write it off yet, guys. I spoke to Nanjin on Facebook before Toy Fair and he said this:
"Pennywise isnt easy. The version that qmx will be displaying is only the 2nd draft. Lots of things are either not ready to be added on or haven't refine yet. Will make sure the final version to be good. Comments will be received after Pennywise pictures are circulated by then. Further refinements can take into consideration."

Nanjin also posted a little insight into the back of the outfit and how complex it can be. It's a pretty intricate outfit and not easy to nail on the first go. It takes talent and care to create. It's not "garbage". It's a work in progress. I'm looking forward to the finished product.

The most difficult part of Pennywise outfit is at his back. The tailor and I spent a few nights just looking at the info....no words...no motion....no eye contact....just silently looking at the Pennywise's back. Occasionally chat about Victoria era's fashion history. (I tried very hard not to think about Klingons because this is very similar to a Klingon outfit).

The DingDongs can be improved and the string/tide will be screen accurate at the final stage (custom made to specs).

 

[WolfBoy]

I agree its a hard costume to nail, no doubt, but even the sculpt needs work.

They really shouldnt show things this early.

I hope they actually do fix it.

This place is usually a good source for costume pics https://hollywoodmoviecostumesandpr...9/it-movie-costumes-and-props-on-display.html

You can see how far off they are.

Spoiler

The part just below the belt being completely wrong and the string/tide being too thick are the most distracting parts. The part around the neck also needs to be thicker.

 

[Rambler]

I agree with most of the criticisms here. I think this is a good starting point, but a lot needs to be done to it if I'm going to consider picking one up.

 

[DasMuse]

I just heard about this figure today. I've been looking for a 1/6th Pennywise that isn't a one off custom.

I mirror the other comments that this is a weak effort so far. I'm curious to see how much they will improve it. It will have to be pretty significant because that's way off.

 

[Stanlore]

I think the outfit looks pretty good. If they can deliver that in mass production that would be impressive.

The sculpt needs work, if its soft now, just imagine after remolding. As everyone said it definitely needs rooted hair.

But the star of the show was Pennywise from 2017’s It! This 12 inch figure looked amazing and creepy even in prototype form, like it stepped right off the screen. It will come with additional hands, a red balloon, and the paper boat, while articulation lets you pose it in all different ways. There’s a chance there will be different versions (heads?) in exclusive releases.

 

[RIDDICK]

A balloon and the paper boat... Really? That's it???
Way to get me un-excited about this thing.

What else would he come with?

Thats all he has though.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

They could at least include a few more differently posed hands or maybe an additional head sculpt or 2 or maybe the claw hands.

 

[Biojex]

I'm sure he'll come with more hands. There were no hands displayed besides the ones attached. Most QMX come with a variety. Hell, Their Picard figure had one for holding a coffee mug

Adding a severed hand/arm for him to wave around would be cool, but then he'll need to be all bloodied to match that scene.

The company has probably discussed variant heads a lot. We will likely see some. If not included in one package, there might be variants. They've mentoned this already.

 

[RIDDICK]

What else would he come with?

Is this even a serious Q tho?

severed arm
pierced monster head + monster hand
etc etc

Also, you have to be nuts to even think about worthless variants when it should be a one package deal.

Interesting... came here to jump in and share my excitement with all the other enthusiasts. Well... Whatever...
