Intrinsic paint, FTW. Finally, Sideshow is starting to figure out why Hot Toys is killing them on head paint apps.

That's what that realistic skin (and eyes) style is called. It's a different mindset and different process.

They're also using it for their WWII German Paratrooper PF. Which is why he looks so damn realistic compared to their other PFs.

This is an advancement I've been waiting on Sideshow to jump on for a while.

Isn't the new PF molded in a transparent resin as well? Similar to what DiD is doing?

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

I'd think there would have to be a degree of transparency for the paint to work from inside the material.

Thanks. I thought that's what it was, but I never heard the term for it.

If you mean this one...

then, to date, the word is that this is a prototype in Sideshow's possesion that was photographed by Doctor Von Evil. It remains unclear who painted it (although smallstudios has been mentioned, but not confirmed) or whether it is intended to be what the production paint should look like (although Sideshow is quoted as saying that they are in the process of developing more realistic paint apps...Edit - specifically on Beachhead...so it looks promising to me).

I thought SS said that he did paint the prototype and confirmed that the above pic was a repaint of the prototype head? Might be wrong, but that's what I remember reading.

When in-hand shots start showing up, I have a feeling he'll disappear.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

I don't know if I want Beach Head to be all freckly, no one likes a ginger. Don't trust em'. He'll look odd with the rest of the figures. DID is a bit more subtle on their new paint apps, even though their bodies are poo.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

That paint is pretty extreme. It looks amazingly real, but I'm not sure I really need that much detail.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

It certainly is cool...but it will not fit in with the curreent paint apps.

I'm one of those people who canceled recently. In my moment of cheapness last week I realized that I didn't want to spend more just for an extra head that I know will never see the body of the figure.

I'll just order from a dealer for a cheaper base price and much cheaper shipping than what I'd get from Sideshow (California to Maine).
