Unfortunately I have a terrible phone camera so there really isn't much I can show especially after there have been plenty of nice in hand pictures. I think for the most part City Hunter fans will be very pleased with Ryo and perhaps satisfied with Saeko. The two look great on display.

do you have other body for ryo saeba? i said for his body, he doesn't look like as the anime what about the true type muscular 19 body..

did you try to use the head of ryo in that body?

If you want to post a pic of the TTM-19 I will tell you which heads will fit.

I think the TTM-19 has a sculpted neck so you might only be able to use the serious head.

Aside from his head being too small I don't really have an issue with the default body so of course I'm not going to waste money getting another one.
 
I really don't think the head is small, that's pretty much how he's drawn in some issues of the comics:

BTW, anybody here know if its possible to put a longer neck peg for Saeko?? I still feel she needs a longer neck
 
Here's some pictures I took last night....I like Saeko without the white blazer, she seems better proportion without it. Plus don't like the material they use for the blazer.

Gonna pick these 2 in a few hours. Ryo looks alright. Not really looking forward to get saeko tbh. I was pretty sure that HT will tweak and tune the sculpt again, but sadly they didn't.

I feel these are incredibly unprofessional over all and a massive embarrassment. As expected though the Hot Toys fanatics sweep it under the rug and continue to bash Enterbay and Medicom in complete ignorance. These two figures were complete wastes, but I being such a big City Hunter fan spent the money :dunno
 
Damn, after reading your comments I'm not looking forward to getting it :(

Too bad I can't cancel my PO. I think I'm just gonna sell saeko and keep Ryo though. At least I wanna show to my dad first, as he's the one whos the bigger fan, and the one who bought and collect the manga.

I tend to be overly critical so don't let my whinings bring your expectations down. I've tried hard to love these figures and I just can't

I don't own these figures and from the pix I have seen I probably never will HT does Many things well but they just don't get anime properties. IMHO I think Ryo looks more like a character from a HK comic than city hunter.

Yep they should stick to what they know I suppose. I really wish Medicom had gotten the license. They would have made both characters look really good.

Totally agree, but I really don't see that happen. Medicom's choices are a complete mystery. Sometime I really don't know why they make some figure and why they don't make some figures. And while we are on the subject, why they don't make newer version of certain figures they have made before? Newer version of lupin, Dr Blackjack, Devilman, cowboy bebop, etc.
 
They really should update their Lupin and Cowboy Bebop figures. As for City Hunter I doubt they will grab the license anytime soon. I was saying that I wish they had been the ones that did City Hunter rather than Hot Toys to begin with.

I guess right now Medicom mostly has their hands tied with Kamen Rider collaboration with Bandai and then Jojo's Bizarre Adventure when they are just doing things themselves. Both of those lineups are huge and get new additions every few months.

Funny thing is, they commissioned hayashi to do both Ryo and saeko sculpts, instead of their usual HK or Korean sculptors :lol
