Haven’t received mine yet to examine in hand. … but… another poster had made a comment about the folded hands being 3D printed instead of molded. He had blown up a close up of the hands and questionEd if they were only in the prototype or would later be molded. I’m not sure what the appearance of a 3D print vs. a mold.
::: Cue Shawshank Redemption::: i mean really, how often do you look at a man's shoes?They're definitely getting their money's worth out of using those same boot sculpts over and over again.
That was me. I said the promo image of the final spock had 3D printed hands. You can see layer lines within the print. However, from that in-hand image, the final clasped hands do indeed look molded because there's an obvious (and rather ugly) mold line with leftover flashing.
Molded or 3D I don’t know the difference. But from this persons “in hand image” it kind of appears to be … “bush league” to me. I was looking forward. This seemed to be a very unique feature. And everything else about the fig looks good so it doesn’t destroy the figure, just diminishes it a bit .
Sadly, they tend to sit in NJ a few days...
Thanks for this, but screw all that. I'm just going to position Kirk in the foreground and Spock in the background a la Kevin Hart's wedding photo.
Yeah that does not look great, but shouldn't be too hard to sand and repaint.
Don't let that get you down. My Spock arrived yesterday via USPS, despite the fact that the tracking number never came up on their site.
Actually it’s in Chicago as of today. So should be here by next week. I just sometimes worry when ordering from overseas about packages getting lost.
Bend at the kneesThanks for this, but screw all that. I'm just going to position Kirk in the foreground and Spock in the background a la Kevin Hart's wedding photo.
…or considering all the delays for perceived issues for a figure with few if any accessories it plays out to be a considerable issue. How many times did Nanjin say he was sending this back to the factory for correction ?
Who cares? Mine just showed up this morning and the hands are fine, unless you're going to look them over with a magnifying glass.
I will concur that printing lines and the like are unsightly. Based on what we've seen so far of these hands, they're not pretty, but I think the good outweighs the bad in this instance. Others may disagree which is fine.
That ‘Spock walking onto the Enterprise’ is a great pose McHaleyArt. Nicely done!
Printing lines, as in the EXO-6 main picture, are impossible to do anything about without filler and a lot of time. Those production hands are molded, meaning just that mold line to deal with, which is much easier to clean up.
