Dark Toys 1/6 Rick Deckard

[potato]

As far as I know the early run of the knock off was the "good one". Later batches had downgraded painting. You can see it here in this thread as well. People that bought the head early received great looking sculpts with very detailed painting. The folks that were late to the party received the same sculpt sometimes even from the same seller but the painting just didn't look as good anymore. I have both. And you won't really be able to tell the difference from the product pictures alone.

I attached a picture of both of mine. But the light in both pictures is very different so it's not a perfect comparison. In my case the early and "good" version had blue eyes. The later "not so good anymore" version had green eyes. That might be the only way to tell.

is the later one still better than stock? do both have same size and same as stock no shrinkage?

It is. The skin color alone makes a big difference even if the paintjob isn't as delicate anymore.

No shrinkage, as far as I know.

Well, with a better head sculpt, custom holster, new shoes, custom jacket collar, a few wires, water treatment and a whole lot of futzing I think he’s done! At least until I see something else that bothers me enough to take action…View attachment 604562View attachment 604563

How many sets of outfit did Deckard have in the movie?

Noticed Redman's outfit with polka dots and beige pants in the promo shots. Anyone kitbashed this version with dark toys and redman parts?

also apart from the shoe and head what else most of you guys swapped out?

Off the top of my head there were three main suits and one or two casual outfits.

The suits: opening film/Zhora chase scene suit (the most well known shirt and brown pants), visit to Tyrell to test Rachel with the Voight-Kampff and final Bradbury/Roy Batty chase sequence with the orange looking herringbone pants and jacket. Up until recently the final suit was near impossible to get accurate shirt pattern references for. When the final shirt went up for auction the pattern was very interesting to see.

Casual outfits: Rachel love scene ( I think maybe a dressing gown from memory) and the strange knitted thing he wears at the end for the final visit to see Rachel.

which scene were dark toys and redman from? there was a thread in another forum talking about all the suits they found including the assignment scene, but the lighting really throws the colors off totally.

at least redman still not obsolete lol.

I think the Dark Toys outfit is from the opening street scenes when Gaff takes him to see Bryant and the Zhora chase scene.

Ah, I forgot, maybe one one more shirt from the deleted scene where he visits Dave Holden in hospital.

I think Deckard wore 5 different shirts in BR:

The "noodle" shirt with the swirly purple stripes
The "VK" lozenge pattern shirt
The "Zhora" Western style shirt
The "Bradbury" shirt

...and finally, a maroon shirt (where only the collar is visible), in the "escape" scene.

Clearly the "so so paint" version. But it's still better than the original Dark Toys head. The skin tone alone makes all the difference. In my opinion at least...

in your photo is it the one on the left or middle because i though the left looks clearer while the middle looks abit blurry under the same lighting. it does have abit of shine on the skin instead of matte.

ok it seems mine same as the one on the right most but your lightning made it tanner. the eyelash and eyebrows is a giveaway.

This sculpt is from the initial repaint run (photographed with flash):

I added a description, just in case. Hope that helps.

welp time to deploy my newly acquired make up skills.

I love Blade Runner and totally want a Deckard but it’s interesting to me that ***this*** character has seemed one of the most elusive in terms of capturing a great likeness

Surprise delivery. The Supermad Toys Deckard pistol I ordered from KGHobby 2 years ago showed up today. I don’t have Deckard anymore, though.

 

[Turtle882]

Mine showed up yesterday as well. Fun surprise.
