Hot Toys: MMS 139 Resident Evil: Afterlife: 1/6th scale Alice Collectible Figure

[Project_A]

I'm sooo gonna laugh when it turns out to be camera distortion.

and those that have criticized it will be the same one's crying because they didn't pre-order and the price will have gone drastically up.

 

[Biojex]

And the madness will ensue.

 

[Project_A]

Mmm-hmm....

............. BTW, is she being delayed?

 

[ebor]

..looks like HTs used the abigail base HS shape to form the JO-JO.

OH-NO-NO

 

[abake]

There's no way the massively different shape of the head can be attributed to lens distortion.
Damn, I really want to see some official statement from HT...
Does the latest sculpt still have the "prototype shown" card?

 

[hunnipot85]

Yeah I don't see how people can think this is camera tricks... maybe in denial? lol

If that's what you need to tell yourself to justify the chickenlittling.

Again, there was the window pic a few pages back that looked just as long as the prototype.

 

[Doctor Who]

I'm so gonna laugh at y'all when the sculpt turns out like the proto.

It's probably just a headsculpt they put on until they fix the one Milla approves.

Still got this baby on pre-order.

 

[DirtyDale]

Milla isn't going to approve cause she doesn't have any thing to do with the HotToys Resident Evil movie figures. She has said so repeatedly on her twitter feed.

She just went on vacation with her husband to celebrate their second wedding anniversary and when they get back they are off to Canada and Japan to start filming Resident Evil Retribution.

I think I saw the one you refer to, and it's not the same by any means Nam...
The shape of the head is different, a lot wider. Now, I can imagine a scenario where this is a tweak made in casting for a test-shot and not a complete re-sculpt. But the fact remains it is massively different in shape.
Not chickenlittling, just pointing out what I see.
I'm not canceling my PO, but I'm very anxious to see final production shots of the figure in hand.

I haven't seen anything definitive to tell me it's another headsculpt. The pics I've seen so far are on par with just about every other HT thread where ____ty pics are taken with lens distortion, shadow play, blur, flash, you name it, everybody makes a big stink about it, the lemmings cancel, the product's released, in-hand pics hit and everybody who didn't cancel gets excited while the lemmings find some other, stupid, fictional reason to hate on the figure. Wash, rinse, repeat next HT thread.

That said, glad you're not canceling. We're not gonna get another shot at a Hot Toys Alice.

 

[bigpig]

Lol My bet it's distortion.
Cant be that bad of a head sculpt


can it?

 

[abake]

I don't think lens distortion can have this effect on anything, unless someone's using a fish-eye lens!

Besides, we've seen many different pics from different people in different conditions with different cameras, and the result is always the same: the shape of the head is different.

And how could I cancel? I bought Bros. Production's Alice for what? 120-130 bucks and then replaced the body with a 35 dollar Eva and had the head repainted! This HT Alice is a steal!

I've seen several shots in the custom forum where the heads get this distorted up close. It's not uncommon, which is why I'm not the least bit worried.

 

[abake]

Dude, I really hope you're right!
I'd hate it if Alice ended up with that fat face.

If she doesn't, you can always get back at the people you hate by bashing this for a white elephant (pun intended) gift:

I'm not a person who believes in censorship but there are some things too horrific to be allowed to be shown.

I feel the same way when I'm at TRU and have to pass by the endcap with the Bieber dolls.

First the angle...and now the lens distorsion

Yes, sure, certainly the wider Head Shape is caused by a lens distorsion of the cameras for ALL pictures taken, (no matter of the distance from which the picture was taken) and people who have seen Alice in person at Toy hunters display window and recent fair may have the same "lens distorsion" problem in their eyes in addition... :/

And Why the hell ALL other pics taken from the "old" Alice prototype were'nt as wide and looked fine and narrowed?? (even the closest ones)

If the final and retailer sculpt ended up looking more like the proto with narrowed head shape ( hopefully so ) and not like this sculpt, then there will be some people who laugh at others saying that they were right and that was due a lens distortion, angle, and people who saw Alice in person had eye problems or whatever..when the reality and logic is that HT have reconsidered for better (due the bad feedback), and because this Headsculpt was'nt final after all ..
