about those truetype 1/6 action figures re-launch by hot toys
via HOT TOYS NEWSLETTER: "With very good response on previous released 1/6th scale action figure sets, Hot Toys continues to bring you the series 3 with choices of Caucasian and Normal versions. These perfectly-scaled 1/6th scale action figures come with 2 pair of hands, 2 different styles of neck, and a standard figure stand. Thinking which version is better? Grab both as they won't cost you much." /// CLICK TO READ MY IMPRESSIONS
TRE-IMPRESSIONS: while it's a slightly lighter skin-tone on the Normal/ASIAN body-form, the CAUCASIAN tones down from the previous bronzed-skin, and a definite healthier look than the first pasty-white-release LOL. and the based on the product-ad, the matt surface is a very welcomed development, at least from where im standing. and is it just me or is the neck slightly longer than usual? which frankly is not an issue with me (as groused-on about here :p) and would perhaps fit better with military vests and gear, yeh? no more Turtle-Neck-syndrome! LOLtagged with 38-points of articulation with a 3rd quarter release, other welcomed aspects of this figure is the headsculpt featuring a "Michael Scofield"-likeness (from Prison Break), altho the Asian-sculpt is a pedestrian non-distinct duder - and reminds me of their early generation HongKong Postman, innit? (well, in a non-descript way :p) ... if they've run out of HK-celebs to model their figures after, perhaps they would consider other regions, like Korea's RAIN, for example? (heh) ... Lefty-trigger hands may also make for more posing options, i reckon :)
... i remember a time when i covet Dragon/DML-nudes, especially the non-muscled ones and with matt-surface ... now the style and even price-points are comparable to Hot Toy's, and that floats me 1/6th-boat, it does! ... now all they need to do is release their moulded muscled-bodies as loose figures ... heh.
