That pic of Blade is the best one I've seen showing the likeness.

Amazing figure! I'll definitely be getting a couple!

I will say this again.. GREAT FIGURE... but.
The EYES ARE ALL WRONG! (shouting from rooftop!)
He looks asian!

Fix it before the final version Hot Toys, it's amazing otherwise.

The eyes should be rounder and less eastern looking.
most of it is fantastic, maybe this was a conscious decision to appeal to his massive asian fanbase?

Excellent figure!
The MJ likenesses are getting better thats for sure, really glad to see this version figure.

Barring the base, only PERS seems to make this stand out as a DX though. DX-Lite perhaps?

Looks like an amazing figure - but easy pass for me. And agree that the eyes need to be improved.

I have had 24 hours to think whether this is a bad choice or not from Hot Toys, and now I have got over my initial disappointment that it's not the DX I was hoping for, I have to say this is a really great choice from Hot Toys.
Why you ask? Well since the first two DX's have been announced, a lot of people have thought the DX version is solely there to improve on what has already come out, hell some people even say they would wait for a DX version of a MMS version that has not been released (T-800 for instance) Well now there is no guarantee that the MMS will always be improved upon, maybe that will relax the fear of a MMS figure being obsolete six months after it's release

awesome. thanks for the pics, wooks! and don't pay attention to those whiners that were moaning in one of the other threads about why there needs to be another thread for the hi-res pics and specs. just idiots who don't know how things are. also, they don't know they shouldn't get a wookster mad - he'll rip your arms out the sockets!

¡¡¡¡¡¡AMAZIIIING DX!!!!!

The best figure of MJ for the moment!!! but this DX needs a more accesories and other headsculpt!

Pd: Preorder now!!!

I agree, I want a microphone too. And it's not like they couldn't easily do one, they just need to reuse the one from Billie Jean. I want to reenact this:

Omg! Yes! So excited!

The sculpt is by So Young Lee, she is the one who also sculpted Blade! She must be Yulli's apprentice :emperor

I think for a DX it needs more accessories

Wha, whe, I wasn't even aware of it... sod em all!

As I always say, when I get a new spec I post up if no one else has.
I for one don't like trawling threads for pics and specs, I like all that gubbins on the first page!
