Received the Deluxe Hell Ranger
I like the Sam Elliott sculpt. It came out as well I could hope for.
Bear in mind these photos were taken with the flash, so some of the subtlety of the paintwork and detail has been lost:
The shotgun is ridiculous. I don't know what they were thinking. Firstly the entire thing is unnecessarily metal, and secondly it's completely unpainted. Lastly it's inaccurate in patterning, and due to their inability to keep the mechanism closed they opted to put a cup on the upper side of the leaver to grip the stock.
Just as it looked in photos and the video, the thing it reminds me of is one Denix's pot metal ornaments. It looks even less realistic than a flaming skull headed bounty hunter from hell!
It wouldn't take much to rescue it though - it merely needs the the stock and foregrip painting to break the reality that the entire thing is metal.
While the design isn't accurate (or complete) to the source, they did a nice job with the fancy 'engraving'.
The clothes and boots look well made, and from good materials. I think the spurs are completely metal, and not just the rowels, so that should lessen the chance of breakage (not that I had any trouble with LiM Toys' Gunslinger).
The soft hat is a let down. It's shapeless, though it
is possible to shape it so it resembles some of the beaten up hats seen in old sepia photos of the west.
The band is too big for the crown though. It would likely look better without the band anyway:
The spade's fine, but will need the wooden handle shortening.
The pocket watch is very good. All diecast with a tiny cross attached to the chain. There's a two line inscription inside the case lid, but I can't make out what it reads. The dial has a period look to it.
The chaps are an interesting addition, though I don't remember when Carter Slade was show wearing them.
As Joao thought, I think they
are leather. They certainly smell like leather, unlike the coat.
The flaming skeletal hands are great! These are very innovative and effective.
Lastly, the body seems good. Unusually, the arms are ratcheted at the shoulders, as they click when you move them.
