Michael Crawford is one of the most respected voices in the hobby...

He is, but he's not always right.

He's always right when he agrees with me.

Exactly. Its still just an opinion, not gospel. Also Michael Crawford just buys stock toys, takes studio pictures, and writes a review. Not trying to talk negatively, Im just saying my style and interests arent the same as his so I dont really agree with his opinions.

Of course. But it has been suggested that I am crazy for preferring the NECA figure. I'm simply citing Crawford to counter that clearly someone with a respected opinion ('cause there's no inherent reason to respect me as a source) happens to agree with me

Mine, neither.

But in this instance he's right.

You guys can praise the NECA figure all you want but that is BUTT UGLY likeness.

 

[ZsaszSays]

Well you cant win an argument when all its based on is opinion.

It's hard to directly compare figures of different scales and price ranges, moulded vs clothed etc. The natural instinct would be to go with Hot Toys due to their production values.

But NECA wins on the Ranger, cos at least they produced one!

True, but I gotta concede, as the resident NECA enthusiast, that the Hot Toys Ranger (assuming the production version wouldn't have dropped in quality as Tonto seemed to do) looked amazing. Indeed, the NECA Ranger is just fine for my purposes (mostly semi-distant shots), but its face is perhaps the worst I've ever seen on a NECA figure.

​

Luckily, I happen to think a cowboy figure looks coolest when his face is hidden in shadows. Also, the quarter-scale version is pretty great:

Still, I feel the loss of that Hot Toys Ranger. He looked pretty damn swell.

 

[Prime Clone]

Yeah, while I was gutted we didn't get the 1/6, it's pretty cool to have a 1/4!

Just ordered Tonto FINALLY! Used the new March Code to get it cheaper. Looking forward to finally having this guy in the collection.

 

[Prime Clone]

Thanks, but I've already got him. Wanted the code for something else...

 

[ApeManRyan]

Code is LUCKYMARCH.

 

[Prime Clone]

Many thanks!

Ive repainted the headsculpt and am in the process of weathering the clothing, as well as making a full diorama stand for the figure. More pictures of the finished piece coming soon.

WHat did u use to draw the lines thicker?

im thinking of using my wife eyeliner to draw on it.....

 

[ZsaszSays]

I didnt draw the lines thicker...I repainted the whole sculpt except for the eyes.

Hey Guys!, check out my review of the Hot Toys The Lone Ranger Tonto Sixth Scale Figure!

 

[ApeManRyan]

Hey all I finally got Tonto in and I must say he's such a great figure. I think you must see him in person to really appreciate the figure. Picture and my Review below. Enjoy!

Gotta say, The Review Spot, I don't usually care for videos, yet your review has me more interested in the figure than any photos I've seen.
