Guys, I have to say....I'm not at all phased by the fact that Sideshow are now using this 'PVC' plastic on their PF's other than the fact that maybe using this material should mean us collectors are required to pay less maybe than a normal PF?
We still are in the dark as to what areas of the Reeve Supes PF will have this PVC plastic...I'm leaning more towards the body and possibly the headsculpt, purely down to the fact that the way the body is posed in mid air (requiring for the sculpt to be as lightweight as possible?) If it is indeed the headsculpt then I'm assuming this PVC material is a much better platform to achieve better likeness or extra realism and details when compared to that of a polystone version? I'm taking into consideration the job Blitzway did with their Bruce Lee 1/3 GOD statue where I believe the headsculpt was made from the very same PVC plastic?
Either way, unlike some...I'm actually not too worried about the situation and still looking forward to receiving this awesome piece. At the end of the day, if its not upto scratch then it will just get returned for a full refund hassle free...and life will go on.
)!! First Hot Toys never says they don't use PVC in their products! LOL Secondly if Sideshow can produce superior likeness and top-notch paint application like Hot Toys, gives so many accessories and really high-end fabric-clothes then NO PROBLEM! How can you compare Hot Toys likeness glory with Sideshow?
That's probably why SS hasn't made a 1:4 Batman movie statue yet.
good one. All I will say is if I integrated that into my display with about 30 other PF's he would stick out and not in a good way.
