1/6 Hot Toys - TMS128 - The Bad Batch: Imperial Clone Commando

[Hask]

Mine should arrive in about 12 hours.

It is done!
I've ordered my first custom. A 1/6 (white) Clone Commando, properly buffed.
And added a Scorch to that order too because I'm not waiting for Hot Toys to make him a skinny exclusive ...

I'm down a VERY slippery slope now

Get a Scorch like how he ought to be: this is the Way.

From the way I see, that skinny design is pretty much faithful to the Bad Bad show. Those commandos are really not that buffed though. I don't think Hot Toys is at fault here.

But it shouldn't be faithful to the show as far as proportions go. The show is stylised, the figure is meant to be reality/ authentic looking.

They should either be completely screen accurate to the cartoon or completely authentic looking. Half measures satisfy no one, and frankly I doubt they even were going for a half way point anyway. It's just bad/ lazy work.

Wrong, this commando is specifically licensed under the Bad Batch animated show and it should 100% be that way. And look at those images, those clone commandos are clearly and visually not buffed.

You willing to say how much youre paying for it?

My waitlist converted already! Pretty surprised, but pleased. The skinnier proportions don’t bother me. I wish the shoulder armor were bigger but you can’t win them all. Otherwise I think it looks great.

Wrong. In the show the actual models used differ from hunter in bulk (hunter is slimmer per design sheet) so using hunter parts is still too slim even for animated style, not to mention the shoulder pads should be much larger. Also, HT don't make 1:1 animated figures, they are realistic styled, so they already bulk up the designs to account for animated designs being slimmed (just look at Echo torso for example, that is realistic proportions). Also, Bad Batch branding should not effect design of armour and as it is the same as Gregor who is a republic commando pre empire, so not case of imperial redesigned slimmed down suit

I said the same a few posts back and if you look at the photo the Commando is the same size as Hunter.

Certainly not more bulk than Hunter.
