I can't recall when I last enjoyed a thread on SSF as much as I do this one.
Firstly, it's great that some peeps here go way back to the crazy SSC pre-order nights, when you had to be fast to get your orders in (Lordscum: I also snagged all the exclusives, been a completist for years but the SSC-clone tsunami cured me of that disease...).

Secondly, it's absolutely pleasant to see that so many people are so positive about a figure! Never thought I'd see the day... . Don't get me wrong, I appreciate critique if it's well-founded and comprehensible, I think it is great to hear other ideas and points of view. Alas sometimes people elevate their opinion to a universal benchmark, spoiling it for others. That being said... it's great to read so many positive impressions!

I guess a batch has landed in Europe tonight, cause me too I got an update on my tracking. Fingers crossed the last leg or the way goes fast and smoothly.

Dang - I remember those crazy SS pre-order days. You had minutes to snag what you wanted and then it was gone. Then came the dreaded Priority pre-order - the good 'ol times.

I am so glad to have stumbled into this thread and feel lucky to have snagged a long sought after Deckard for my collection. Seems like I almost gave up and then this. The pictures look great, the advice from other 1/6 experts has been stellar and the portrait touch-ups will make this a great figure for any BR collection.

I can't wait to re-sew the collar, water treat the jacket (I may tea soak it to darken it a bit too)--I am going to tackle this with the invisible thread that someone suggested earlier. I can't believe that I have a quality & affordable Blade Runner Rick Deckard in my collection!

I didn't know the figure stand was part of the package! Nice enough.

It is a serviceable stand, however, I will be upgrading the stand with an offering from Display Heroes once they are up for sale.

Is that the Coco custom stand you referred to earlier? Have they come up with a design already?

Well Once again GianToy delivers without problems

I'm just gonna say: I can't be more happy with this Deckard from DarkToys, and I can tell you right now that if your are a fan or if you where like me and was looking for a decent Rick.... man this is it.

Here are some pics (cellphone pics) out of the box and also with my old custom

Probably going to send those sculpts this weekend for a repaint

Yes it is--and I don't think the design is finalized--it will be top quality when it is completed though.

For the folks that have received theirs, how's the gun?

looks and feel a little bit cheap compared to the old diecast android hunter gun but it still looks pretty decent and the paint job its also fantastic

 

[FlyAndFight]

Even more excited to receive this one, now that Omar and ebor have shared their pics and opinions.

Hopefully we'll see at least a Batty from Dark Toys soon!

Yeah I still freakin love that android hunter gun. I know there are probably more accurate and better-scaled versions these days, but I'm still perfectly happy using that one with my custom.

THIS!! YES!!!

THIS!! YES!!!

And Rachael. I can settle with those 3. Pris is a bonus.

And Rachael. I can settle with those 3. Pris is a bonus.

I'd be happy enough with a simple pairing of Rick and Roy... but Rachel in that black uniform or the big mink would be great too.

I think Pris would make a more interesting figure on the shelf though, for obvious reasons.
