This actually looks better than previous videos. And the normal sculpt is good here.

But the neck ruins it. I dont know if a body swap is possible with this. But they did not make it easy

Gonna wait for a recast of the screaming head.

What's the problem with the neck? Looks pretty accurate to me.

Did anyone notice the blood on the face is different on all of them. The one on dean knights review is not as good as some other ones I saw

The blood would be hand applied so they won’t all look exact.

Does Kai Studio ever release any figures before?

Got mine yesterday. The right lighting is key for this figure

Got mine a couple of days ago. Reallly love this figure and the huge amount of effort Iconiq's put into it. If you're a big fan of the movie, which is me since it premiered, this is about as special as it gets.

That said, it does need some customising to get it to the point I want it. Blood on the coat is an obvious one, but I'll also be doing some work on the walkman accessory and probably some more minor tweaks as I play with it some more. Would love to get some 1/6th Ray Bans if they exist? But the made up CD was the first thing to be recitified.

I'm not happy with mine. Body too small, tailoring not great and paint apps are basic. The magnets on the raincoat are a bit weak too. The amount of time they had to get everything right and still a miss.

Got my blood spatter done on the coat and chromed and spattered the axe.

There's almost too many display options for this figure.. it's hard to think of anything long term, so I'm happy to keep changing it up every couple of weeks to get the most out of all the possibilities.

Reworked the splatter effect with a more screen accurate bloody colour and position. Stripped the previous one off and much happier with this result. If anyone wants a super realistic blood paint that works great in this scale without any mixing I'd highly recommend red anodized chrome engine enamel spray paint. Spray some into a small cup, get some on the end of an old toothbrush and rub the bristles to flick a fine mist where you need it. Dries glossy so picks up the light very well.

Some box protectors I was about to throw out repurposed.



I have ordered another shirt for this particular scene that's a bit closer, but I think I'll do body swap first as the right shoulder joint on this one is super loose and I've decided I don't like the overall arm to body proportions.

I'm sorry what are those proportions are they correct?? They look off lol

I think there's a bunch of proportion issues once he's not wearing any coats:

Head undersized
Neck too long
Hands too big
Arms too long
Torso too short/elongated

A lot of these issues aren't that obvious when he's fully dressed, I think they cheated the size of the body so it looks more correct fully dressed.

I'm going to swap it out with something I regularly use and see how that looks.

I don’t think this is a good figure or anything , by a large stretch- or it could be mostly that there have been years of customs and knock off customs that this is pretty much doomed to compete with… but I saw it opened in person and I at least want to give it credit for having probably one of the best tailored suits I’ve seen on a mass figure.

Well, small changes make a big difference.

I took my body apart and replaced a bunch of bits from another one. Its got the original midsection and legs and forearms, but the upper torso and arms have been changed. The neck has been hollowed so the fitting sits lower too. This makes the proportions of everything work a lot better to my eye. The arms and neck aren't as long making the head look better proportioned as well as the new hands, which look correct now.

Still not done on this, but much happier with it. Also, my right arm's connector piece into the body was broken, hence the floppy/loose shoulder joint. I think they really cheaped out on the body, it's like they designed everyhing and then just put it all on a random body thinking it would all match up and look right. This hurts the proportions and the tailoring a lot.

My invoice for this figure just came in and I'm really not sure if i will get it.
