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

Well, Enterbay has tried. Only you've got to love Bruce Lee, because they all were. I lost track of them but I think they've made 1 Bruce that looks like painted resin, one Bruce that seems detailed but has the most boring pose ever (a bit dumb considering you can't articulate it), and the last...

This said, are they really figures? I have never tweaked any of mine more than once, to make it cool out of the box. I know some are into that, but I consider them statues. What makes a figure anyway? -not the clothing, SS's statues are now dressed up -articulation, but what is articulation...

...you don't believe that those things are made with natural resin.. do you? It's just another form of plastic. But anyway, "the material aimed at kids" does this: & I've never seen this on a resin, except possibly (..but not really) on promotional pictures, nothing mass-produced. I don't...

Don't get me wrong, that's an amazing sculpt, but IMHO Enterbay's one is as good.

I was thinking just the same. Why have visible skin pores & all? I never saw that on a painted resin, only on PVC dolls.
