[Aerosmith]

Glad I didn't buy the McFarlane one.

[DARK-SIDE]

maybe HT will make a head improved version with another suit from the movie ,just like the 2nd Joker.

just like this picture
http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lgst3394.jpg

[8th wonder]

When will this be up for pre-order?

[Joranthalus]

Glad i bought the McFarlane one :D

That seriously looks nothing like him...

[The Ringer]

Looks like another home run for Hot Toys.

[Mista305]

we should have this up for preorder today

[creature4000]

I'll wait to see if they release him with the White shirt and pants later on.

[IronFingaz]

A definite purchase for me. Looks great, especially the outfit :rock :rock :rock

[galactiboy]

This figure is absolutely stunning! The amount of detail on his outfit is insane, likeness is off of course, but still close enough that I don't anticipate being bothered.

[Morbo]

coolio! I notice the pic has 'EDWARD' written on. I wonder does that mean HT will make a Vincent Price and Wiona Ryder? I like it, but there's something off with the hair, or maybe the face looks a bit too thin?

[Zoolander]

oooo I love the movie, but that sculpt just does not cut it

[Morbo]

I'm gonna hold out and see if they do the shirt and pants version, with his hair down more.

[galactiboy]

I think its possible if Ed is a good seller... although I would not expect a more accurate face sulpt, but I could see the hair being less bee-hive and more Robert Smith.

[Voorhees27]

I have to admit pictures are everything and this is a must buy for me! Amazing piece indeed!

[uscmhicks]

awesome photos , a strange backdrop for hot toys ?!.
Looks great anyway ! :rock
Doubt I will order anytime soon and might wait to see if theres a version 2 but it does look great. :rock

[wookster]

I contacted HT to ask if any other figs are planned from ESH, normally there's a standard 'we can not confirm or deny at this time' kind of answer, but on this occaision I was told there are no plans for any other figures for this line at this time.
I guess 'at this time' leaves the door open, but for now there are no immediate plans.

[pixletwin]

Is Joe carrying this?

I am getting a strong Spooktacular vibe for this figure though. I bet you SS will offer it as a preorder.

[toystales]

I am holding off on pre-ordering this because I believe that there is a high possibility that there will be a 2nd version. With Hot Toys' current trend of producing 2 or 3 versions of each figure, I think a 2nd version is entirely possible. But this is just my personal opinion. :)

[Rock83]

Looks great!

[Joranthalus]

The more i look at the face on that thing, the more off it looks. I can't see spending that much on a figure that looks nothing like the character...

[Morbo]

Aw that's a shame. fingers crossed though, that they will make another version.

[King Darkness]

Damn that is sweet!! The detail is amazing:rock

Why the hell would he give him scissor hands though? Of all things :duh Why not spoons, something less dangerous :lol

[Mista305]

Is Joe carrying this?

I am getting a strong Spooktacular vibe for this figure though. I bet you SS will offer it as a preorder.

I am offering it, its expensive like the Mark I i am sure it has to do with the scissor thing and all....not sure about SSC though..its funny cause they offered the Red Shirt James Dean but have yet to offer the Michael Jackson or Mark I Iron Man and Hot Toys has already closed preorders for both of those

[pixletwin]

PM sent Joe. :rock

[kazukijun]

Thks for the Official pics Wookster!
Your always the first with these stuffs, appreciate it.


Well, as nice as the costume looks, Im not getting it.Sticking with my Mcfarlane 6 inch & 18 inch figs.

I know theres the likeness license issue..
Sorry HT, but I just cant get over the fact that this looks more like a stranger cosplaying Edward Scissors Hands.

Even my GF commented it looking more like Orlando Bloom and I think it does too.

[Rock83]

The more i look at the face on that thing, the more off it looks. I can't see spending that much on a figure that looks nothing like the character...

Im not buying it,not because its a little off but Edward is not a big interest of mine.I would definitely buy it if i was interested.Even if it doesnt look much like Depp its a nice figure,V1 Jack Sparrow didnt look like Depp either but i love it because of the nice clothing and accessories that makes it a overall nice figure,same with this Edward...maybe :)

[Snake Eater]

I'm quite disappointed to be fair, as this is a character I am REALLY interested, however I cannot justify buying it judging by the head. They didn't get the likeness, and the face therefore is not like Depp, I can get over that, but the hair is way too high for my liking. :(

[The Monster]

Hot Toys, I want a Hot Toys 1:6 Scale Figure of Vincent Price as The Inventor! :D PLEASE! :bow

[Kuzeh]

Ah man... this is very dissapointing...
the outfit is awesome but the headsculpt and the hair look awful!!
Easy Pass!!

[turtlepower73]

does not look like johnny depp

[LChinoz]

I'm not seeing Depp, but looks like a really nice figure nonetheless.

[Nocturne]

The outfit is stunning, but for some reason the head sculpt just makes me think Amy Winehouse :lol

[uscmhicks]

Edward scissor hands 2

[galactiboy]

The outfit is stunning, but for some reason the head sculpt just makes me think Amy Winehouse :lol

Now that is really funny :lol

[screamingmetal]

The head sculpt is disappointing, But overall I like the figure and love the character. I wonder how much they're asking for this?
I might get this if it's not too much to go with my midget Medicom Scissorhands.

[plasmid303]

Wait, the head sculpt isn't supposed to look like Depp, right? What with all the fuss about image rights.

[galactiboy]

You got it right... it is not "supposed" to look like Depp, but I can still see him in there.

[creecher]

It pains me to say it, but even so, it does resemble scissorhands. Too bad they didn't wait till all the planets were in alignment and do it the justice it deserves.

[Batty]

It's not the sculpt that bothers me, it's the hair. Couldn't they've at least done that right?

[creecher]

Okay, who has the rights to the hair? At least there's still time for them to change that.

[pixletwin]

My kid (who is obsessed with this movie) said he looks like a girl with the big hair. :monkey2

[pixletwin]

I think with the hair they were going for a stylized look more in line with Tim Burton's design of the character rather than the actual on-screen execution.

[Mesa]

It's not the sculpt that bothers me, it's the hair. Couldn't they've at least done that right?

That's what I was just going to post. I would have probably got this, but what's up with the beehive haircut?

[Cocoboloboy]

My kid (who is obsessed with this movie) said he looks like a girl with the big hair. :monkey2

:rotfl

Maybe HT will change the hair for production. I really hope they do.

[8th wonder]

The hair is good this way and they will not change it.

[Reinhardt]

regardless of the criticism, i still like it. The outfit looks amazing, and the likeness is good enough. It looks like Johnyy Depp as Edward... maybe not EXACT, but very very good. Hair is ok, not the greatest, but not terrible. But the outfit!! Insanity! I just sold my NECA 18" Edward and am ready to make the upgrade.

Ordered.

[Mudshark]

Yeah, the sculpt is close enough for me with this character. If HT doesn't fix the hair, I may think about fixing it myself, but will definitely wait to have him in hand before making that decision. The costume and the rest of the figure do look amazing. This may be the best 1:6 scale articulated representation of Edward we're likely to see for some time, and I for one, do not plan to miss out on it!

[Zoolander]

I was having second thoughts and was starting to sway towards getting this figure, but having looked at it again I am certain I wont get it :horror

[Kuzeh]

I was having second thoughts and was starting to sway towards getting this figure, but having looked at it again I am certain I wont get it :horror

:rotfl:rotfl

Me neither!! or is it Me too?? :confused:

[Cocoboloboy]

This pic sold me on it. I still think the hair could be much better but oh well.

[galactiboy]

That is a particularly good shot... looks a lot better than the official HT photos.

[saintsyn]

I'm hoping the hair will be a separate piece. If it is I'm going this route...
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff156/circustense/MaxandMisterScary034.jpg

[LChinoz]

The headsculpt kind of looks like Peter Weller in Robocop post-transformation, without his mask.

[Khev]

Best Angela Petrelli figure ever! Bring on Nathan and Peter!

:monkey2 Poor Eddie.:monkey2

[Mudshark]

That really is one funny looking pile of noodles on top of his head...looks kinda like symbiote droppings. I just hope it can be removed fairly easily. :monkey4

[KBA]

I'd just leave the hair on.. While it doesn't look right, it elongates the non-depp sculpt and makes it appear more like him. Without that effect I think the likeness would dissapear.

[Reinhardt]

Have to bump this because I just saw the movie again and can't wait for this figure!!!!

[Morbach]

I don't like how the hair is piled on the top of his head. It should be all over the place. It's too neat looking but I'll probably get it because it's nicer than the McFarlane one I used to have.

[granado.espada]

rewatched the movie today. made me wanna buy this fig!

[Blu Falcon]

I am offering it, its expensive like the Mark I i am sure it has to do with the scissor thing and all....not sure about SSC though..its funny cause they offered the Red Shirt James Dean but have yet to offer the Michael Jackson or Mark I Iron Man and Hot Toys has already closed preorders for both of those

[Dan2008]

Sorry to bump the thread, But was wondering if theres any news on this as of yet

Release date?
Any idea how many this is limited to?

Thanks :)

[wookster]

I haven't heard anything solid yet, but I'm hoping it'll be soon. I just finished the Cosbaby review so I'll send that in soon.

Great news! Love the box design... HT never ceases to amaze :rock

[The Ween]

Ed is finally coming, yeah!!!

http://hottoys.com.hk/ftpshare/newsletter/20090331/ESH_boxshot.jpg

That's an awesome box! It looks like denim! :banana

[creecher]

It looks like they are copying Enterbay to me. They have the best boxes so far. We'll soon know.

I reckon Hot Toys are either feeling threatened or are taking the attack as the best form of defense.

[EVILFACE]

Impressed with the box, that is something Sideshow would give us.

[Voorhees27]

It looks like they are copying Enterbay to me. They have the best boxes so far. We'll soon know.

I reckon Hot Toys are either feeling threatened or are taking the attack as the best form of defense.

This seems true, if you look at their "M Icons" line their boxes clearly look just like EB's. There is rumored to be "bad blood" between the two so that "toy war" must have began already :D

[galactiboy]

This is a war in which we should all benefit... that is of course unless they drive each other into the ground and we're left with Medicom being the only one left :lol

[Voorhees27]

They must have had a heated confrontation somewhere lol.

Well so far, Godfather is the only figure we can compare both of them on side by side.

Can EB Mr Bean be compared to say HT Hellboy?

[The Mike]

That will be the real test to see the EB Godfather compared to the HT one.

[Batty]

Very nice looking box. I can't wait for the DX version of the figure. :monkey3

[breakersrevenge]

Can EB Mr Bean be compared to say HT Hellboy?

Yeah, you can have more fun with Bean!!!:lol

[galactiboy]

Very nice looking box. I can't wait for the DX version of the figure. :monkey3

Yeah, it might actually look like Depp :lol

I'm really pumped about this figure... but have to say between this, Hellboy and Iron Man its gonna be an expensive burst of HT figures all at once :lol

[Cocoboloboy]

this is a war in which we should all benefit... That is of course unless they drive each other into the ground and we're left with medicom being the only one left :lol

nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Ween]

Very nice looking box. I can't wait for the DX version of the figure. :monkey3

Do you think there'll be one?

[Reinhardt]

Do you think they'll be one?

i think Batty was being funny. Ofcourse, you never know now - they've pretty much opened the door to anything now. But I would imagine that they would stick to much more popular licenses for the DX treatment. I think we are safe.

[nicky]

Is this a member of Marilyn Manson? Wears his guitar or whatever? Someone photoshop it.

Wow! That looks amazing!!
Too bad the headsculpt sucks!!!
Everything else looks beautiful!

[EVILFACE]

Yea, no likeness, but that outfit is amazing. Love the package.

[galactiboy]

Damn, that looks awesome! Love the pop-up book packaging :rock

Likeness is a negative, but overall the figure is great and there is no doubt what its supposed to be.

[Rock83]

what a terrible sculpt:(

[SpawnFan]

Not sure about this one... that headsculpt is not that good. :(

I may get him if I can find him cheap.

[wofford29]

Box is amazing. Headsculpt is amazingly awful.

[Voorhees27]

I have to admit although there is like NO likeness to Depp its still a very nice looking piece! It was confirmed that they didn't have likeness rights for this piece right?

[Batty]

i think Batty was being funny. Ofcourse, you never know now - they've pretty much opened the door to anything now. But I would imagine that they would stick to much more popular licenses for the DX treatment. I think we are safe.

Yeah, I was joking, but after seeing these new pic, who knows?

I think you're right about HT only rereleasing certain figures under the DX banner, but they could do a new head sculpt, throw in a white shirt, pants and a few other extras and there you go.

Sadly, I'm not digging the likeness at all. And I still don't like the hair. The costume, on the other hand, is outstanding.

[galactiboy]

I have to admit although there is like NO likeness to Depp its still a very nice looking piece! It was confirmed that they didn't have likeness rights for this piece right?

Can't remember if it was officially stated or not... but I think that them not mentioning "likeness of Johnny Depp" is enough.

Although even though it doesn't look like him, there is nothing in the sculpt (like say a mustache) that looks wrong either. I'm definitely gung-ho on adding this one to the collection.

[8th wonder]

The headsculpt is not Johnny depp but it isn't a bad headsculpt in my opinion.

[Snake Eater]

Pretty good sculpt even though nothing like Depp, beautiful box design and fantastic clothing/scissorhands.

The medusa-hair still grates on me enough to avoid though.

[wookster]

I feel the same way I did about Kane, I just want it so much I'll live with the likeness.
Guess I'll just have to display him in the shadows! I'll try and dig out my old Medi one as well for the review, but I'm not hopefull as he's in storage in my loft (has been since I moved house 3 years ago) so it's a bit like a needle in a haystack.

[Darren Carnall]

shame it doesnt really look like Depp, but you know what? If i had the money I'd still get it.. the rest of the figure is just so amazing. LOVE the detail in the outfit. One of my customers from Hong Kong (I think) had sent me the Medicom Scissorhands to resculpt.. but as soon as this was released he told me to hold off and he's sending me this one instead lol. Should be fun when I get round to it. (might see if I can figure out a way to improve that hair too... its just not how I remember it from the film :( )

but WHAT a figure! :rock (on my "i'll get in the future" list)

[Customikey]

but WHAT a figure! :rock (on my "i'll get in the future" list)

Yeah, he's on my list, too.

[Reinhardt]

still getting it. the outfit is just too awesome to pass up.

You know, when I googled pics, there were some that weren't too far off from it.

Can't wait to see what you do with this! :)

[The Ween]

still getting it. the outfit is just too awesome to pass up.

Me too! Compared to any other Edward figure, this is great! And it's not like you don't know who it is just by looking at it, Depp likeness or not.

[OSCORP]

http://www.toy-world.com.hk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=14052&extra=page%3D1

[galactiboy]

The detail work on him is absolutely insane.

[8th wonder]

http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/tsangchiyat/DSC_4260.jpg

Depp likeness in this pic.

[galactiboy]

Yep, from certain angles you can see Depp... but from others not as much.

[Snake Eater]

http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/tsangchiyat/DSC_4260.jpg

Depp likeness in this pic.

WHOOOAAAAHHH!!

I see likeness there for sure. Do I have to get this now?!??!

[8th wonder]

WHOOOAAAAHHH!!

I see likeness there for sure. Do I have to get this now?!??!

Yes and it will look great next to a HT Crow figure, two gothic heroes.

[Snake Eater]

Yes and it will look great next to a HT Crow figure, two gothic heroes.

:rotfl It will get made!!

But DAMN it looks good there. Even the hair looks OK.

[nash]

I have a gut feeling that HT will not get licensing rights to do any Lee family figures.

[Kuzeh]

That picture is awesome....
wow!!

[wofford29]

I have a gut feeling that HT will not get licensing rights to do any Lee family figures.

Especially with the Lee's close relationship to the people at Enterbay.

[Reinhardt]

looks awesome!!! just paid Joe for mine. hopefully soon now.

[wookster]

http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/tsangchiyat/DSC_4260.jpg

Depp likeness in this pic.

That is one BEAUTIFUL figure
I can't wait... I love this character sooooo much!

[Cocoboloboy]

Definitely see Depp in that pic. Aside from that just look at the costume. WOW! Now that is detailed craftsmanship right there.

[plasmid303]

The outfit is immensely impressive, but why is everyone getting excited about the one pic that has the one angle in which Depp's likeness is vaguely recognizable?

So will you need to pose the figure with his head constantly posed upwards in order for it to look like Depp?

[samueljd]

Awesome pose and the outfit is amazing. The portrait is recognizable in that pic, but I still think they purposely made a vague likeness.

[8th wonder]

I have a gut feeling that HT will not get licensing rights to do any Lee family figures.

NECA but not HT, i don't think so. I also think The Crow is something outside that license. I don't think The Crow license really counts as a Lee family license but is just a The Crow license, i could be wrong though.

Ok back to Ed now.

[Devil_666]

I also think The Crow is something outside that license. I don't think The Crow license really counts as a Lee family license but is just a The Crow license, i could be wrong though.

So like HT could make a Crow figure, just not with Lee's likeness. correct? Like this figure, 99% accurate or so just minus an official Depp likeness.

[8th wonder]

So like HT could make a Crow figure, just not with Lee's likeness. correct? Like this figure, 99% accurate or so just minus an official Depp likeness.

No i think they can do it with Lee's likeness. So much Crow merchandise has been made, from model kits to action figures small and big companies i really don't see how this could be a problem for Hot Toys.

The question is; are likeness rights and movie rights always two seperate things, i really don't know.

I wouldn't be interested in a Crow figure without Brandon Lee's likeness. That figure above all should have an accurate likeness in my opinion.

[Shai]

Beautiful...And its sculpted by a great American sculptor....:rock....The likeness I think is ok enough to immediately recognize the character.The clothing and box are out of this world.

... looks like HT took a step back in time with that headsculpt. The rest of the figure looks great.

[The Ween]

... looks like HT took a step back in time with that headsculpt. The rest of the figure looks great.

Not really. The sculpt is great, it just doesn't look like Depp because they couldn't use his likeness.

that looks outstanding devil!! what exactly did you do? chopped off part of his hair and added more bruises to his face?

[Devil_666]

It's not mine. It's from ToyWorld. I can't read Chinese.. so I have no clue what dude did. :confused:

[8th wonder]

... looks like HT took a step back in time with that headsculpt. The rest of the figure looks great.

Could be just the pics though because the earlier pics showed way more detail in the headsculpt:

He's gotten botox since those pics!

[samueljd]

Now those pics look more like Depp. And the hair doesn't look to over-the-top. What changes did you make? And what methods and material did you use?

It is not a mod from a board member here. They have been shared from the toy-word forum.

You can see the rough edges where the hair has literally been snipped off.

[Filthyrich]

The headsculpt is not Johnny depp but it isn't a bad headsculpt in my opinion.

Right. Its a good headsculpt just not a good likeness. Prophecy Girl Buffy is a bad headsculpt. people are knocking on this thing like its a complete atrocity

[Studio49]

People knocking this are the same people who, months from now, will be kicking themselves for not buying this. You DO NOT pass on a figure with as much detail as this one has. Head sculpts are easy to come by, but just try making an outfit as complicated as this one. I am buying at least two. The eventual custom head will be an easy upgrade.

[wofford29]

I would have bought it if it had looked similar to that modded version. No outfit is worth the purchase of a figure that doesn't look like the character imo.

[pixletwin]

When does this ship. Seems like I have been waiting forever for this thing.

He's supposed to ship in May according to SS.

I think you meant looks like the actor, because I can instantly tell who that figure is supposed to be.

[isengdoank]

he doesn't look like jhonny depp. does HT have the license from depp?

[Snake Eater]

he doesn't look like jhonny depp. does HT have the license from depp?

No.

My message is NOT too short.

[MANDO]

I'm betting the sculpt actually looks more like Depp and that the paint hides it. Similar with the Aliens Marines and Billy from Predator. I'm really anxious for this to come out as he's one of my favorite characters and it looks like they did a fantastic job on him.

[wofford29]

Well this is based off of the movie character so the two go together. I could tell most characters by their outfits alone, doesn't mean I want someone elses head on it.

[wookster]

For anyone interested my review ofthe Ed Scissorhands Cosbaby set is up-
http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1588234#post1588234

[creecher]

Just got mine in.

I actually thought I'd be more impressed. I can't see Depp from any angle, so you can pose his head whichever way you'd like because it still wont look like him.

Why am I not impressed. I have the McFarlane figure, so I can't help but compare this one to that one. The McFarlane figure looks like Depp, but I never liked it being 1/4 scale and being all plastic. I thought the Hot Toys outfit would blow me away because I expected it to be material. Unfortunately it's mostly plastic. Not one moulded piece like the McFarlane, rather several moulded pieces or plastic combined with some plastic and pleather wrappings for the most part. It's like a mini McFarlane with some loose plasticky parts. I was hoping for real buckles and belts.There's just none of that on here. It's not like you could ever hope to undress him and swap out parts.

The scissorhands themselves are quite good. If McFarlane had done theirs in 1/6th scale it'd be a better buy for the money really. Due to Edward having his hands it's not like he's going to be posed crouching or kneeling, especially with his fairly rigid plastic boots. So the limited articulation on the McFarlane is kind of justified. The head, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees are articulated, but the range is restricted. On the head is mostly sideways, the neck backward and forward, the wrists up and down and hard to maneuver due to the delicate scissor parts. The rest have a fairly normal range. Still, this one is 1/6th and looks the part until they are able to get the likeness rights and bring out a DX. As wookster said, it's Edward and it is fairly easy to see past the sculpt.

[Hydeous]

^ sounds like HT is heading towards the cliff. Just like what happened to McFarlane when they were at their peak. Unwise business decision. 12" should always be about attention to details and quality; something that doesn't go hand in hand with mass production. HT just proves this theory, IMO. Sad thing, really.

Anyways, having to see this fig in hand, my conclusion is:

So-so head sculpt + pretty cool costume and box= easy pass for me.

Hot Toys couldn't get Depp's likeness for this, so this was the best they could do. I wouldn't call it heading for the cliff because they have one figure that isn't quite up to par with alot of their others. Though I'm very disappointed that it doesn't look like Depp, it's still the best Edward out there at the moment.

[Hydeous]

Unlike gary oldman 'gordon' that's infamous for not letting his likeness to be mass produced, depp's likeness has never been an issue (HT sparrow, medi todd, sparrow, scissorshands, mcfarlane scissorhands and so on)

So I'm assuming it has something to do with paying the right amount of royalty, or they've gotten so popular over the last year that they think we'll just swallow up whatever garbage they throw our way, as long as they slap on the HT label.

This, and mainly their so called MMS DX joker has gotten many fans, including me, disapointed with their way of business.

[icruise]

I don't think you can come to the conclusion that HT is getting too cocky (or cheap), since anyone with half a brain knows that having Depp's likeness would greatly help sales of the figure. It's in their interest to have the likeness, unless it was somehow so expensive that it would make the figure unprofitable. They must have had a good reason for not using it.

Still, the McFarlane figure seems to have a pretty good likeness to Depp, so I'm not sure what the situation is. It doesn't seem likely that McFarlane could afford the likeness for a much cheaper figure while HT couldn't, but maybe something has changed since that figure was made.

[creecher]

I think the McFarlane is more bang for the buck, seeing that it has a motion sensor to wave his right arm and work it's scissors. I have never seen the Medicom, whose likeness isn't great either, but I'd like to see how the Medicom outfit compares with the Hot Toys. Looks like that'll be up to wookster or screamingmetal. Whoever gets in first.

[jinroh75]

i finally got mine in yesterday. he looks pretty dang awesome even without the depp likeness. the details on his suit and those hands are really sweet

I spent the best part of an hour in my loft on Monday looking for my Medi-Ed, so far no luck. my system usually works pretty well, but i've been circulating a lot recently. Still hope to find it, but here's a link to my old review from 5 years ago, and I think he'd been out for at least a year then- http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_111004b.htm
From my memory it was a sweet figure, but this is a quantum leap forward in terms of the costume and fine tuning of details on things like the hands.

[creecher]

Thanks for the response and link wookster.

The attention to detail is certainly a few steps up on the Medi figure in the review pictures. The whole overall look is better with a tighter fit to the clothing. The McFarlane is actually better detailed, in that it can incorporate the worn and creased look of the cloth and grab even the different textures that the Hot Toys one can't, whereas the Hot Toys one can embelish certain aspects by having real chain and stitching etc, and by being able to separate areas, giving a more realistic 3D look to the subject. I'd even say the McFarlane hair is just as piled up as the Hot Toys, but it isn't as noticeable by having areas of the hair splay out in different directions, rather than just having it piled up.

The Hot Toys figure does look semi odd when you look at the forearms, which look to be out of proportion. Most of what I have been saying isn't noticeable until you are able to have another Edward handy to compare it with. I daresay you'll know what I mean when you have it in hand. I'm really looking forward to your review.

All in all it's Edward no matter which way you look at it, and it's iconic, and to me, they're all great Scissorhands renditions. I hope it devalues the Medicom version, cause I wouldn't mind getting one of them as well. It's just that sort of figure. Accuracy be damned. Edward is cool in any school.

As far as the head sculpt goes, Hot Toys ought to have given him at least a few scars, and some black lippy, to give him that pursed look.

[8th wonder]

I received mine. I'm very happy with it. I DO see a bit of Depp in the sculpt.

As far as the head sculpt goes, Hot Toys ought to have given him at least a few scars, and some black lippy, to give him that pursed look.

It does have scars. I would say the color on the lips are quite accurate. There are some movie promo pics where Edward seems to have black lips but in the movie not so much.

I can't even compare this to the Mcfarlane figure, the Hot Toys figure is so much more superior. I say you won't be dissapointed when you buy this figure.

[Darthgothikus]

Ordered mine from a dealer in Hong Kong (Goodshipped)
Anyone dealt with them before? Wondered how quick they are at shipping usually - can't wait to get this one, re-watched the film now want my fig!

Goodshipped are cool. No worries there.

None of the other figures you mention look like Depp except Sparrow. It could have something to do with the movie rights and not Depp at all. Disney has the rights to the Sparrow image, that's why it was on just about everything you can imagine.

[Darthgothikus]

Goodshipped is all good, don't worry.

Cheers! Better just sit back and wait. I'll post some pics when he arrives.:joy

Now hold on there missy. He did mention the McFarlane scissorhands, which looks great. The sculpt is Depp, and has the forlorn stunned mullett look.

http://i43.tinypic.com/znaqa0.jpg

The detail on this is way better than the Hot Toys, solely because every nuance can be captured and replicated. The look of the Hot Toys is another matter. As an example look at the boots. Both are plastic, yet the McFarlane has definition between all the belts and buckles and the Hot Toys has them but they're more blended into the whole boot.

Anyway, here's a couple of quick snaps. Had to use the flash it's dark here and these guys are very black. Did a little brightening and gamma.
http://i41.tinypic.com/9izpe0.jpg

The very nature of the materials used on the Hot Toys does not allow for this detail. That's not to say the McFarlane is better at all. It's bigger, so it's easier to distinguish these details. The Hot Toys is wearing the costume. It's definitely more real. There is more work in it. Parts pieced together with an outstanding result.
http://i42.tinypic.com/a17np.jpg

It seems to me unless you have both the figures in front of you, like I said earlier, you're likely to not understand where I'm coming from. Those who get the Hot Toys figure, and are non the wiser, will undoubtedly be thrilled with it.

[dragonsleeper]

I bought this not expecting him to look like Depp but I was hoping he would have at least that innocent look of the character...

:lol Funny and true. :lecture

Cancel the Han. Most SW stuff looses it's value. Really it depends on your display, then again I don't keep tabs on SW stuff. Will Han be relatively easy to get down the track?

I think if you didn't know Depp played Edward, you wouldn't recognize him in the McFarlane as you do in HT Sparrow. The point I'm making is, I don't think any of them actually got the rights to Depp's image, for one reason or another.

It is a nice figure for what it is. To each his own I suppose. They could all use a repaint and a haircut! :lol

[creecher]

:lol

Didn't mean to use you just as a segway to finally post some pics. Sorry 'bout that, and I'm not being facetious. This time. :lol

[creecher]

Good stuff wookster. It'll be nice to see some great pics from someone that knows how to use a camera. Thought there'd be some more arrivals by now.

Don't do yourself an injustice, those are some solid pics you've done there. And I'm from the happy-snappy camera club... but I work within the limitations of my hard-ware.
One day I'll have a quality SLR and some good lenses, but for now I'm happy with what I've got (not that happy obviously!) so if any reps from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, Sony... hell I don't care, but if you're reading and want a plug, send me a digital SLR!

[creecher]

:horror Really?

You really know how to work it. Outstanding.

[wookster]

Well, I'll just derail for this one reply, but I used to use an old Olympus OM-1 back in the days film and prints so I'm used to a fully manual camera.
But the one I use now is a Fuji F610. I got in on eBay brand new for about £40 (can't actually remember now) so it's a pretty good camera, and the macro facility is sound as a pound.

Just got back late from work and Eddies here!!!

Just took a couple of quick snaps (lighting is c**p here) Post some decent ones when I get 5 mins in decent daylight.

Got to say I'm loving this figure. Sure, it ain't Dep. Got over it, moved along.

Detail on the outfit is excellent, some of the parts on the gloves are tiny metal rods!

Articulation suffers because of the tight suit, but hey, it was like that in the film, poor guy could only shuffle about!

All in all very pleased - Box was a bit beat up on it's journey from Hong Kong but not too bad, pity though it's a nice box...

anyway, here he is...

Hope you don't mind me sticking a few more snaps up!

Only problems I've noticed so far are 1) One of the tiny metal rods attached to his right glove has popped out of its rubber sheath.:naughty and 2) A bit of his leather cod piece seems to have come unstuck (needs a dab of "Man Glue") Easy fixes but this guy is DELICATE.

OK, as I said in an earlier post, hands are very delicate! Suit restricts movement a lot (There's a small metal rod through the back of his right boot which means you can't bend that knee joint much). But overall, considering the movements of the character on screen... he has similar pose-ability. Let's just say he won't be doing any breakdancing, he's more your Monster Mash kinda guy.:rolleyes:

What Han are you dropping? Carbonite? I had him on Pre-order but just felt a bit Meh towards him. I've sold my soul to Hot Toys, even considering loosing TOHT so I can indulge in some Terminator Goodness:naughty

Love the "shadow shot" Wookster! Real Hammer Horror creepy:mummy:frank

Looking forward to your review as always.

Thought I'd stop posting pictures cos no-one else seemed to be interested in this thread and didn't want to be accused of:horse He is pretty darn photogenic though, so maybe I'll just "Fire up the Canon" one more time...




Just had notification that Hellboy and Abe have touched down in UK!!! Can't wait!!!:banana

[Reinhardt]

awesome pics Wook!!! Can't wait to read your review.

[wookster]

Cheers, Well I've sent in My Ironman MK2 about a week ago, which 'should' be up this weekend and hopefully Eddy will follow soon afterwards.

[Darthgothikus]

Have you got it up yet Wook?:angelsmil

[Gutz]

Likeness is off BUT overall, it's a great piece. Detail of the costume is unbelievable. I'll buy it.

[The Ween]

Mine is on it's way! Got the UPS notice today! :joy

[GuruAskew]

None of the other figures you mention look like Depp except Sparrow. It could have something to do with the movie rights and not Depp at all. Disney has the rights to the Sparrow image, that's why it was on just about everything you can imagine.

This is a month-old post and someone has already commented on it but I wanna chime in here and say I think this is bull as well.

Both McFarlane Depps (Edward and Ichabod), NECA's Jack, Medicom's Sweeney, they ALL have great Depp likenesses. There's no way you can look at any one of them and try to say that the likeness wasn't secured, let alone done poorly.

Hot Toys doing an Edward Scissorhands? That would have been a must-buy for me if it actually looked like Depp and I can't believe for a second that someone as licensing-friendly as Depp was unwilling to do it. If anything, they got the likeness (I mean, it is all over the packaging) and they just fumbled it badly. Not even Hot Toys is beyond a bad sculpt. Edit: the more I look at the proto pics the more I'm convinced that they were going for Depp and just dropped the ball badly.

As it stands this figure is a very excellent representation of Johnny Depp's stand-in or of a very committed cosplayer but as a figure of the "real" Edward Scissorhands this figure is an epic failure.

I was talking strickly Sideshow figures when I made that comment and the figures you mentioned were pointed out to me. And I wasn't stating a fact, but was just commenting on the possiblity since HT usually doesn't get a likeness that "off" without there being a real good reason for it.

[MANDO]

I still really like this figure a lot. The plastic straps aren't so bad in person and the outfit on a whole is really nice. The level of detail you'd expect from HT. Head needs repaint though...

[ro926]

The outfit as a whole is nice. I was just mentioning on another thread about what a great job Hot Toys would do on the costume if they ever decided to do a Hellraiser figure.

Sorry, but I know for a fact that they didn't have likeness rights. I'd imagine that since PotC Depp's representation are asking quite a bit for now likeness rights for him.

I'm just guessing, but I'd think that it didn't make economic sense to do the figure if they had to pay for the Depp likeness as well as the character license.

[El Roranous]

The box is really well done. It's very different than what Hot Toys usually does. I would take a picture but I am too lazy.

I bet the figure is awesome... I will open it soon. :D

[wookster]

There are already a couple of threads for this figure.

But yeah you're right, he's a sweet figure if you don't mind the lack of Depps likeness.

[JRSly]

I've always wondered how they handle the lack of likeness rights, like when sculpting how does one empirically gauge the percentage of likeness resemblance so that the figure is within the legal allowance?

[Viper]

Sort of an odd request, I was just looking at my Edward's face and noticed he had some wrinkles next to his left eye but not his right eye?
It looks a bit strange so I may apply some paint, but I just wanted to know if anybody else's figure has the same.

[Luis138]

I want this figure so badly but the lack of likeness is making me hesitate. Has any of the talented sculptors here done a "correct" Depp head?

Luis

[Customikey]

I'll wait for a good sculpt in the button-up and slacks.

[JohnnyT]

I finally picked this guy up! Check out my review here! (http://actionfiguretrigger.blogspot.com/search/label/Hot%20Toys%20Edward%20Scissorhands)

[RagingBull]

If HT could of got Depp's likeness for this figure, it would of been amazing. I've been tempted to buy this a number of times now but that sculpt always puts me off. Fingers crossed for a Dx version with HT recent addiction to Depp may be it could happen.

[Wanderer]

Yeah from the neck down this figure was awesome and would have been a nailed on buy but for that ____ty head. Xenoviper did an awesome sculpty but for whatever reason he was too tight to just sell it unpainted and there was no way i'd pay anyone silly money to paint me a head I could do just as well. Shame

[JohnnyT]

[TheFiend]

Hmmm I did know HT would really bother doing a figure if they couldnt get a likeness. I mean I know about the first T-800 they did with no Arnie likeness but they had an excuse: by giving giving him a BD blasted away skin look. But this is different, I mean I actually like it but wouldnt buy it because its not Depp and he encompassed that role. Anyway if so many people _____ about it why is it going for absurd prices now?

[evilalive]

Share my idea of easy improvement with Edward.

My thoughts exactly.

Now that HT has Depp's likeness, Ill wait. :)

[dragonsleeper]

DX with two heads will be preferable.

[marker2037]

I've never posted pics of mine and since I finally got the figure to go with my head, here he is.

Looks great, the custom head makes a world of difference :rock

[Calcifer]

Never was a fan of Xenos head to be honest, I really hope dx11 will be an updated Edward, with what hot toys done with Jack and Sweeney a new Edward could be incredible!!

[Restaurajones]

I have also customized mine years ago

[evilalive]

Custom HS from Xenos is no doubt beyond words, but I'm was little worries how to keep those "hair" at good condition from my dusty environment...

[RIDDICK]

I really hope there will be an updated Edward, with what hot toys done with Jack and Sweeney a new Edward could be incredible!!

:goodpost: :pray::pray::pray:

[Jmlsuperman]

Even though the likeness is not Depp, I just picked one up today for $150 new in the box from a collectible store in my area that had it sitting on the shelf for a long time, decided to get it, price seemed really good.

Your custom looks to have more Depp in it than Xeno's does. Would love to see more pics I'd you care to share :) :pray:

Nice find/buy! Not bad for the price considering today's prices and all.

I always loved the box design for this figure

[Maglor]

Seeing this thread, I almost ____ myself thinking that Hot Toys was releasing a new version of this with Depp's likeness. :panic:



...what a disapointment. :mad:
