Mine's bigger.
I decided to pick up the 1/6 Sloth figure from Rebirth (who?) a couple weeks ago. It was roughly 66% cheaper than I'd ever seen it, so I bit the bullet and bought him.
I hafta say, he's majorly cool. As you can see, he's quite large--in fact, a little out of scale. The rubber suit is huge over the upper body, which of course hinders movement, but the material feels softer than the Hot Toys rubber--how it ages should be interesting. Man, he is heavy.
The sculpt is waaaaay nicer than I first thought it would be, which I'm elated about. The paint needs reworked, so if anyone is chompin' at the bit to paint a Sloth, lemme know! There's way too much pink wash over him, which doesn't match the flesh of the body.
The clothes are nicer than expected. Jacket is lined, the boots are cool, the pants have the flanned patch on the butt, and he has two shirts (I'll take more pics).
The biggest problem I have with the figure is that he came undone in the box possibly during shipping, which caused massive paint to be rubbed off his nose and the breakage of his right hand. And of course the paint rubbed all over the back of the plastic window. At first I was a little peaved, but he is quite hefty, so this may only be something that would have been avoided if the figure had been packed separately. I contactd the buyer, but I'm not sure if I want a full refund. Like I said, the price was really solid--but a broken figure is not a mint figure and I ordered a mint figure, so I'm hoping we can work something out. I think a partial refund would be acceptable.
WE RULED THE EIGHTIES!!!
Pretty good sculpt--I think A new paint job will really bring it out.
See the paint rubbed nose:
And the broken hand (I did find the other half of that "c"):
I took a little Goo Gone to the back of the plastic and most of the flesh colored paint came off.
I'll take more shots of the box art.

Although maybe the head could be salvaged and popped on a 12" figure?
