Big Chief Studios: Peaky Blinders 1/6 figures

I admit those pictures of the sculpts are really worrying. It’s the worst they have appeared so far, they looked far better in the video review.

Arthur will ship on Monday from BCS, Thomas will ship at the end of the month from Myth Factory.

I’ll post pictures.

My Tommy finally arrived today, obviously not at Hot Toys level but I think he turned out pretty good! I was a bit worried how he would look in person but overall I'm happy with him.
I took off his jacket and coat as I thought it made his upper body look way too bulky compared to his legs.

I also got a great edition number :yess:

Mine arrived today and I’m pretty impressed. Head sculpt looks good in hand and tailoring is very well done.
Think I might grab Arthur now.

Figure looks very nice. Any pics with his Cap on?

The plastic cap doesn't look too bad but the fabric cap doesn't work that well.

Plastic cap is ok but fabric cap is a waste of time unless you want him to hold it. Looks much better without cap imho.

Agreed! I'll be displaying mine without the cap.

Am I right in thinking these figures took 3 whole yrs to reach market from Pre-order to shipping?

I think they went up for pre-order in April 2020, so pretty close to 3 years.

Looks way better than the initial pictures they sent

Getting Tommy tomorrow and Arthur on Wednesday. Can’t wait to see if sculpts are bad or have just been badly photographed right until now…

First photos. Weakest part is the paint finish on hair and sculpt. Paint app is absolutely ok, but it has a shiny finish which reflects light way too much. Overall an impressive figure, a bit of a pain to futz… might need some advice on how to pose a figure with multilayered clothes. And by the way, tailoring is superb.
