Dark Toys 1/6 Rick Deckard

[Firespray]

Those eyes don't look right. Like they forgot to paint them.

Received mine this week and the eyes look like this one as well. Kind of disappointed but I can probably repaint them with a bit of patience.

This always happens -- first run or two of these knock-off heads are great and well painted, then once word is established they start using cheaper, faster painters... and the castings will get sloppier over time as they burn the cast.

That said, the head is still a huge improvement over the original.

 

[BACON!]

Indeed, I got one of those delicate heads from ebay and it transforms the figure. I think there are multiple sellers

 

[Wor-Gar]

I think there are multiple sellers

Could be... but a lot of those sellers are actually the same "company".

 

[Brett Banner]

Wow, hadn’t checked this thread in a while and sure was a lot of info to catch up on. Just ordered one of the delicate heads and going to keep an eye on the shoes to restock as well. Thanks everyone!

 

[slynger]

Just arrived. Will be fixing up Deckard later today. Out of the package it looks 10x better.

 

[slynger]

Yep - way better than translucent-like portrait. Much more lifelike.

I received my second Deckard sculpt late last week and while there are some very very slight differences in paint apps, it is the eyes that are really painted differently, particularly the color. The new one is trying to capture the lighter, greener shade. The original's eyes are darker.

The original (on the left) does appear to have slightly better detailing overall, in the paint work. You can tell in the hair and eyebrows, along with some additional variations in skin tones. But both look good in-hand.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, I think you can see the beginnings of the falloff pretty clearly here, Fly. Not just the eye detail, but the eyebrows are much simpler now, the hair color is flatter, less 5 o'clock shadow.

Yep, I agree. Those were my exact points in comparing the two. But to be honest, the differences are quite slight, in hand. I would still recommend picking one up, as it is a definite upgrade over the stock sculpt.

I picked up a cool pair of shoes from Artisus-

 

[FlyAndFight]

Those actually look pretty good, Shockakahn.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Shoes arrived today in just under two weeks. Swell.
They look really good too.

 

[Lordscum]

Got my head today, it was a first run from Luck Market , so guess I Lucked Out! LOL! I can't emphasize enough how much this sculpt is a major upgrade from the original and how much it makes the figure Pop! For $27 bucks it's a steal.

 

[Lordscum]

The head makes such a difference .

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Needless to say, it's the figure, not the actor.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Here’s how the figure was introduced, exactly two years ago. How much still stands?
I say, if Dark Toys can maintain this level... by all means, please give us Batty, Gaff, Rachael, Eldon, J.F., ...

 

[Freakazoid!]

I've reordered the recast head off AliExpress three times already, but the seller never follows through with shipping it on time, which is unfortunate, because they had it up for $23.
