1/6 NAUTS x DAMTOYS - Resident Evil 2 Remake" Claire Redfield

[Project_A]

And the stitching on the jeans…. Besides that and the oversized jacket. Looks decent but a bit overpriced.

 

[StefiCZ]

Yeah the sculpt is the same as proto, just much Brighter lightning this time. The jacket is terrible tho and rest of the clothes isnt much better.. I was so glad that I got the invoice this morning, but Im seriously thinking About canceling and losing the deposit :/

The UB toys version that costs half of this looks a million times better.

What the hell happened?!

Damn does that look rough. Jacket looks like she picked the wrong size off the store rack when checking out. Overall looks like a $150 figure and feels like I'm looking at a knock off figure of the prototype they showed. The jacket doesn't fit her at all. Makes her shoulders look extremely wide and bulky.

I find it hard to believe that figure we're looking at is $300+ honestly. Her face even looks more dead and emotionless than the prototype, which was already dead as is. A byproduct of the final sculpt and paint being downgraded. This should be better for the price they're charging.

Was thinking about getting this once it was in stock but I'm glad I waited. Will pass and will probably pass on their RE4 Leon if this is how their handling their production figures. Wish LIM was doing 1/6 RE figures.

This is why real leather isn't the answer to everything, it's hard to work with and rarely will it sit naturally on a figure, thank Capcom for her lifeless expression too and yeah we'd love to do 1/6 but doubt it'll ever happen, Capcom is seemingly starting to take action against unlicensed figures because they're unhappy with "fakes" well too bad we were turned down when we approached them years ago.

I wonder what they used for the proto, a different kind of leather? (I know there is lambskin, cowhide etc, etc.)

I agree with you mostly. I really liked the headsculpt in the proto but I know how Dam/VTStoys paint quality looks on the final product and it’s always very underwhelming. Leons jaw was warped a little on the final product, makes him look like he was stung by a bee from certain angles and the paint app is just okay. Despite the amazing array of accessories and parts I always felt a little disappointed with him.

Claires face is missing a lot of definition on the cheeks making it look a bit cheap. I would say her head is underscaled a bit and the weird fitting jacket exaggerates this. A lot better with the jacket off.

I like that they’re experimenting with real leather but they should’ve realised it’s simply not working at this scale. I honestly prefer pleather even if it doesn’t last forever. Her jacket is iconic to the game and this is just not it.

I did used to own the UB Toys Claire and it was absolutely TINY standing next to Leon. I don't regret selling it. I'm glad at least on this version the height of Claire is much better but the jacket now that I look at it is an issue.

I think Leon is just very tall. UBToys Claire uses a pretty standard Poptoys body. Leon’s boots add a significant amount of height to an already pretty tall body as well.

 

[Space Jockey]

I noticed pics on the BBICN site show the jacket has a liner too which surely didn't help. And why is the jacket pink?
Venting over.

 

[Mogli]

I still like the face even under the spotlights used in those pics lol, and she looks good next to Leon! The puffy and high shoulders on the jacket look weird, but if I can't adjust it at least it looks good jacketless. Damtoys prices are rough, but to me it's the only decent licensed Claire I'll ever see, so I'll accept it. It sure was quick to release (I hope they didn't rush it), but I look forward to having this, and hopefully the Classic version and Ada in a few months!

Yup, after seeing the final production photos I can't help but feel very underwhelmed by this one. lol
It looks like they're using a completely different body as well. It certainly doesn't feel like a $415 figure (yup, thats what I'm paying. 'Cause Canduh!).
The head sculpt is really nice, if a bit bland. But the likeness is there for sure.
I had this and the classic version both ordered, but only payed the classic out in full. Now I'm thinking that might've been a smart choice, since I'm really considering cancelling this one now.

 

[lid1013]

As others have mentioned, there's a big difference in lighting, but even then I think it's easy to tell that the paint app on the sculpt is way off compared to prototype.

The jeans even look like a different shade too, I also prefer the proto here. Then obviously there's the jacket which is probably the most important piece of this figure. I was super bummed that I missed out on the pre-order but now I actually think I dodged a bullet.

I think the final release looks good but at the price point it's at, it's overpriced. It's a $200 figure, $250 at absolute max.

 

[glitch1044]

Some of the other photo's where they aren't using a spot light look better. The sculpt actually looks pretty close to what was advertised.
The clothing is what has me confused. Like how difficult could it possibly be to make Claire's clothing look game accurate?

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

Tried some photo manipulation just to see if I can make the bulkiness more acceptable, it's gonna take some getting used to with the final product. Anyone know someone good with customizing the jacket to fit tighter? I was thinking Tony Mei, but I think he only does capes when it comes to modifying clothing.

Please hit them up again and offer to do a limited Jill Valentine run (both Remake & Classic). Maybe they'll reconsider after you guys show them your Nate and Arthur prototypes? And if still they don't, well then f*** 'em! And then make her anyway! Lol
I'm sure the RE collector community would go crazy for a Lim Jill.

 

[user 19388]

If it's real leather, I wonder if it can be conditioned and broken in? Maybe the liner just needs to be removed or some filler in the jacket taken out? Wont know until someone starts messing with it. Perhaps a custom jacket can be produced as well?

 

[SwedishHeat]

Oh brother, it seemed like DAM was on such a roll. This is not good.

I can see that the lighting is washing out the detail in the face, but that jacket is a real deal-breaker.

The base body was a bit too curvy for Claire, but I could forgive it because the tailoring was on point, at least on the proto, but now that's all out the window.

It's odd that the company that was so sensitive to customer feedback that they included two pairs of legs for Claire (and made an alternate head for the Godfather) could let something like this leave the factory.

 

[chrisstbh]

The DAMTOYS Godfather figures are fantastic but I think their video game figures have all been huge letdowns.

They had an opportunity here to make the definitive Claire Redfield figure and they fumbled the bag big time.

 

[RandomHero]

Holy cow, this figure looks atrocious. I was so excited for this too. I'll wait to see a few more pictures this week but I'm pretty sure I'll be cancelling. Wow. That jacket is just horrendous, but it's not worth displaying the figure without it.

Now I'm starting to feel anxious with Ada Wong's release since shes in a trench coat
