My first Original Effect will also be my last. Heyar Adas (couldn't find a thread about it, but it doesn't deserve one). Excellent design, looks terrific on promo pictures. I wasn't expecting much, I mean, random chinese maker, low price.. and yet it manages to be worse than I expected. paint...

The caricatural style that I liked for the guys, doesn't work for a woman, for me. Which is sad because the hair (if they manage to produce this correctly) is the most realistic of any 1/6. It's ok with the glasses, though, but without, I couldn't tell if it's a caricature or a design that went...

Mmh not bad, but the head is kinda ruining it. I mean the guy has no forehead & looks derpy. I've got the other COO figure that's up there, and the quality was ok. Except that I didn't even know about the sound switch because they were too cheap to include batteries.

I don't think the problem is the rooting, I believe it's what happens afterwards that still has to be mastered. I can even imagine "fabric hair" not being rooted but glued in patches (that would probably help sticking thinner hair). IMHO the problem is the hairdressing afterwards, that may...

I'm glad I didn't buy it. Not that it's terribad, but those statues never get the quality they deserve, except on less important parts like the base. Why spend more time detailing a shield & a helmet on a base, than working on the character's face? I don't understand. At least the eyes are straight.

Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 222/223: Space Pirate Captain Harlock (CG film): Captain Harlo While I love it, I think it has several flaws: -the bird.. it's well made, but you can't pose it on his shoulder, there's just enough room for 1 leg, plus the plastic extension for the holder couldn't be...

wow, nice this is the kind of thing that 3A does well!

I buy a lot from AMIAMI, but I would never have bought any HT from them. HT doesn't seem to sell well in japan, and it's frequent to see half-priced deals at AMIAMI, however they're generally too big for surface air lift, meaning the bloody horrible EMS & massive taxes in europe that will more...

I only own 3 1/4's from Enterbay, they were all nearly perfect. Only Arnold's jacket was folded & glued improperly. About body/clothing, I think it was Mr Bean's weakness (I don't know if it's the body that's too big, or the suit too puffy, but the result should have been smaller/thinner)...

I'm unboxing mine, it's jawbreaking. Never had so much fun with a turkey & underpants.

What you also need to know is that by buying counterfeit, you're more criminal than victim. Generally the price & description (avoiding brand names, etc) is a solid hint. This said, I have some "fakes" of japanese resins that weren't cheap & are very well done.

Where from? From what I see, SS still has no "local" stock, thus the import taxes/VAT will be the usual dice throwing, no way to really predict a final price (except from Hong Kong maybe). So I assume it's from an european reseller? 600 is interesting, providing it's the final price.

I found the gear a bit tricky to attach, IMHO it should have been made of more than 1 piece (as it seems fragile). Other than that, nice figure. I didn't use the cape that seems a bit tricky to make look nice, and hides details (and looks a bit too clean). I was worried about the grappling...

why is it that those things can't be painted by a machine, anyway?

yours has a strong beard
