VTS: Weapon Adviser 1/6 Scale figure

[Mike86]

The nature of this hobby is informed by things we liked as kids. Mego, GI Joe, Superheroes, action movies, etc.

Batman, Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman etc. exist for display purposes and I doubt anyone is "playing" with them. What does a Morgan Freeman or Michael Caine doll add to a display? Would people buy or be interested in a Premium Format Aflred or Lucius Fox statue? I have my doubts that people actually keep these niche characters in their collections for long, this seems like a fad.

It's not like you're being forced to buy them. If you don't like it whatever, but some of us like them. Plus for me this hobby isn't just about things I enjoyed as a kid. Some of it comes from that but some is just my love for certain films or in this case Batman and the characters in his universe. Alfred was just as big a part of Batman for me as Batman himself. Lucius maybe not as much, he had his part in the comics but the Nolan films are really his first big part of Batman on film or tv, but he's a pretty vital part of The Dark Knight Trilogy.

I'm just commenting on what I see. Thought the same thing about Agent Coulson.

First Morgan Freeman figure, I thought nothing of it. There have been random offerings like that for years (like the random actor likeness Hot Toys would include on their true types back in the day). A second Morgan Freeman figure? Color me curious.

I just think it's amazing that some folks are actually going back and forth in excitement about a grandpa in a bow tie. Surely these iterations are the first in line to be sale fodder once the absurdity of "I have a 1/6 Lucius Freeman!" wears off.

3A abominations.

Ugh.

Where'd you pick him up from?

Grandpa Lucius pre-ordered!

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Nice one, thanks!

(KG Hobby in Hong Kong would have been a bit cheaper, but not if gets caught by customs and postal admin fees).

Both figures have a pretty strong likeness.
The skin tone on the Weapon Advisor seems a bit dark but I think the overall likeness is there....and the movie specific outfit and accessories are a plus.

I don't think much of the middle sculpt there, looks off to me. Also the hair on the first sculpt looks like the surface of the moon.

Isn't the "middle" sculpt a real photo?

Agreed that the hair looks better on the Ace one.

**** sake. 3 more from different companies please. Let there be nothing from any other franchise.

As far as I'm concerned, there's a holy trinity of 1/6 Terminator characters that need to be produced before it's all over

Ordered!! This will be awesome with my Bruce, Alfred Bats armory!

Charlie Chaplin once competed in a lookalike-contest. He did not even reach the finals.

 

[Rambler]

Really? That's great!!!

But about this figure, I hope the body is better than what I've seen with the Ace one.

 

[KingGrayskull]

Honestly who cares? If its bad just switch it out with one of the TT Knock Offs and you are fine. This set has great vale, with or without a proper body.

 

[Rambler]

I agree. But if I can avoid having to spend another $30 I will. Is it too much to ask?

 

[mjordan23]

Has anyone heard anything about the release date yet

 

[Rambler]

I know when I ordered from onesixthkit it had a Q1 release date. So, we may have to wait a bit longer.

 

[Rambler]

Anyone know anything about this? I emailed OSK about it and she said they haven't heard anything either.

 

[ayoldguy1]

Same question here. I ordered from Ekia Hobbies; they said that they think it'll be released (in Asia I assume) sometime later this month.
