I had this one saved. It's the best I can do I'm afraid...
Thanks man!, ____ there really is a big difference. The medicom one looks better in real life than in the pic, but the hot toys one is great, is the skin that dark in the flesh?

Both are like the day and the night
It's really unfair to compare Medicom to Hot Toys, unless it is a cartoon character or something.

Even the HT one looks like a dinosaur now. We need a DX Jack.
If every a character needed the googly PERS eyes, it is he.

Not just that, but a more appropriate body style, a better tailored coat with proper buttons not glued on ones, real boots that allow for poseability and the once and for all definitive Johnny Depp Sparrow sculpt.
The good news is that with the upcoming POTC movie next year,
I'm sure we'll get a DX Jack Sparrow, and I'll be sure to get that one!

I skipped out on the Jacks previously, but if they do him right as Obsolete suggests, I will be hard pressed to pass him up. Not a huge fan of those movies, but he's definitely a great and memorable character. Probably my favorite Depp performance after Ed Wood.

I thought of getting the Artfx one...where he's coming in on the Jolly Mon's mast ? Does it even compare or is it more of Neca figure ?

That was the photo I was thinking of. There were several of that. I did not want this to devolve into a Medicom VS debate, I just wanted to see that shots. I had the Medi one and was pleased, but they are generally too small to go with the other 1/6er's I have.

Ragacin, what do you mean 'debate?' Well, now that you mention it, uh, not much to debate. You have the Medi, fine. Buy the HT Cannibal jack and you'll understand...not much to debate...
The HT Slim body works perfect for Jack in my opinion, I've got both my HT Sparrow figures on it.
To finally have the definitive Jack, the coat should be a charcoal grey, even though the real coat is made of various tones, that'd sum it up well, certainly not black like Medicom or chocolate like Hot Toys' original. The tailoring could be better too, tighter on the upper body and arms and bell out below the waist with the right ammount of folds in the back of it. As far as the buttons, after Marcus Wright, there's no reason they can't do them right for Jack, other than the details on them, Marcus' are about right in scale and style.
HT also needs to make a smaller shirt for him, even on the full size TT body he comes with, the sleeves are way to big on the old shirts.
Another thing that needs improvement over the previous ones is the size of this baldric, you can't make it sit as low on him as it does in the movies.
And of course the right sculpt with PERS is important.

DX Sparrow, dare to dream Sean, dare to dream.
I do, a definitive Jack Sparrow figure is high on my want list, unfortunately having such a specific costume, there's no sourcing generic parts to try and customize him, so my hopes are resting on HT doing another and doing it right.
