Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

They also said the figure was done like 6 months ago. They've said a lot of things.

I didn't say I believed it. Such a difference I find it hard to believe it's just lighting.

Honestly it doesn't look bad. It's just not game changing and it's not worth 300 bucks.

It’s looks like something one might buy at a dollar store.

Oh come on. It's not that bad.

Pixel usually doesn't rag on figures, so if he thinks it's bad and says so, then it must be bad.

Well, at least you do get the three outfits for your $300.

Oh, and the revolutionary endo-skeleton... that I'm dying to see.

The shirt really does look like it came off a Ken doll. That material just looks so cheap. The small head is just a massive nail in the coffin. I don't mind buying crap if the price is somewhat reasonable. But this is just too much. I don't see anything worthwhile here.

The clothes aren’t great at all but the head looks really good to me!!

Oh wait

Never mind, thought I stumbled into the Jedi Luke thread for a second there.

I'm guessing they didn't know how much shrinkage there is when going to PVC.

I think Robbie nailed it. Maybe these Chinese factories don't offer any advice to new clients.

You'd think K.A. Kim would know to make it bigger.

I thought the proto sculpt was something like 1/4 scale?

Is that seriously suppose to be his iconic green army shirt?

Can't wait to see their blue colored Willy Wonka jacket.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

********, the patches were the same color as the jacket on prototype but now they’re a different shade. Then again,

That's a good amount of bullsh**.

The prototype figure and the production figure are both photographed under similar lighting conditions. They're both taken under the same soft white light box.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

I wonder how many people will be sucked in by pics of the figure in the box?
To be honest I'm not sure why they didn't just post pics of it in the box, it hides most of its defects, except the linebacker shoulders.

I would talk to the customer Support and asked for a refund of the deposit.

I did once when the delays started up.
They only allow you to cance on NRD.
I did that on my Hot Toys Chewbacca.
So now I either cancel the figure and save $300 and lose my NRD.
Or don’t cancel it and get stuck with a steaming pile of bull*****

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

I mean the annoying thing is the Imagine outfit looks some what decent which is why I want it.

That dam pin head though its like we'd have to start up a custom sculpt thread to replace it but then why should we have todo that if what was promised looked good?
This is a mess of a company!

It's so sore to look at these and realise how good the sculpt was to what they've done to it.

The imagine outfit looks badly cut to me, massive shoulders and thick material, nothing like the slim fit jacket Lennon wore.

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

The sculpt looks a little rough, the buttons are big, the velvet jacket looks poofy, and I dont like the look of any of those hands. It would be nice if someone actually tried to make some 1/6 hands actually doing a guitar chord rather than some generic "guitar holding" hand. It's not all bad though. The glasses don't look nowhere near as bad as I thought they would. The pants and boots look usable. Someone might be able to give the head a repaint. I'd like to see the guitar they said would be included. Once we see better in hand pics we'll get a better look at what's salvageable. But this ain't worth $300 in my book. I also wouldn't doubt if we start seeing KO versions of this sculpt and other accessories on ebay in the months to come.

@Thefiend

The hilarious thing is he doesn't come with guitar holding hands they are piano playing hands.
