The red shades are off. The materials look off. Grants head looks off.
I cancelled my pre-order.

I'd guess most of us don't pay $250 for "alright" though.I’m the only one that actually thinks this looks aright. It’s not great, but it’s alright.
I only watched the show early on so maybe you're correct and this is accurate to a version later in the show, but at no point do I recall both his suit's colors and its materials being so mismatched. Looking back at the prototype pics this is pretty much what HT was planning, so in retrospect the disappointment being expressed is about two years too late. Anyway, easy pass for me.Don’t watch the show but have seen pictures and whatnot.
It looks awful, but also looks one hundred percent identical to what I see when I see images from the show.
Hot Toys costume looks bad - costume in the show looks bad. Nailed it.
Head sculpt looks goofy - guy who plays the Flash looks goofy. Nailed it again.
Not sure why people are surprised that they don’t like this figure. Don’t blame Hot Toys for this one.
Next thing you know people will complain when Hot Toys releases a Danny Devito figure that they made him short, fat, and bald and he doesn’t look enough like The Rock.
It's as Magic Chaser indicated above - the fabric color is too light. It should be a closer match to the maroon pleather sections - not identical, but the contrast shouldn't be so striking. The sculpt does look pretty nice in that video though, so I'm not sure why some people are complaining about that as well.Looked pretty good in the unboxing video.
Maybe I’m missing some of the subtle nuances because I don’t watch the show, but I can’t imagine not being happy with this figure if I did.
Nnah the outfit looked far better than this on the series. Maybe not traditional Flash enough for some fans, but still a pretty cool and memorable design I think.Don’t watch the show but have seen pictures and whatnot.

A lot of the aspects of the suit just didn't translate well. Look at how smooth the leather sections are on the actual show suit. Then look at how thick and textured they are on the figure. The forearm just looks like a skinny tube instead of an actual persons forearm shape and the zig zag under his pecs are just oversized and thick when they're a subtle darkness on the shows suit. The red is also completely off. Reminds me of the Iron Man Mark 3 problem where they just decided to slap some Candy Red instead of the proper maroon shade. You also have that thick chest plate that looks like it's sitting on top of his suit rather than being a part of it.Nnah the outfit looked far better than this on the series.

Maybe. Just kidding. You nailed it; it looks alright. That head sculpt though is pretty bland. It resembles Gustin, but it isI’m the only one that actually thinks this looks aright. It’s not great, but it’s alright.

Overall it just looks like a sloppy patch job done by Hot Toys. Really looks like some third party figure work.
