Hot Toys' Pirates of the Caribbean: ANGELICA (On Stranger Tides)

Here are a lot of pictures from some collector on Toys Daily. Her outfit looks really really nice and he gives us a lot of good shots at her with and without her coat. The face sculpt though is a shame. The actual quality is good, but the expression looks like Hot Toys typical really bad blank soulless stare expression, of which I thought they stopped doing a year or two ago.

It looks really odd on her though, especially since her eyes seem to have some kind of weird bloodshot look to them. Unfortunately as I suspected, I honestly can't see her posing all that well with Jack because of that expression. The best you'd be able to do is have them both staring out from behind the ship's wheel I guess :/

I'm just not feeling the face. This figure should have been a normal release at $170. I would have bought it without a second though, but for the price it is up for now maybe I'll just swing by six months from now since it will probably still be shelf warming.

I'm really disappointed.

maybe shes suppose to be a zombie with that blank stare... :

I really like her hair though.

The most annoying thing about the face is that, as evident by some pictures, with specific posing and usage of the hat you can make her look angry. Hot Toys might as well have pushed the sculpt just a little more to make her angry because it is already in that direction anyway. Any emotion is better than none at all.

The figure does look like Penelope Cruz....

... beat for a week by an ugly stick

The outfit is beautiful though. The thing that really irks me about this one is that they announced her over a year ago. All this time and it looks like she was a rushed figure announced 5-6 months ago if that.

I think whoever the sculptor is doesn't like Penelope Cruz, or PoTC!

 

[Monger]

Whoever did the outfit though was brilliant. It looks like it might be one of Hot Toys best outfits so far. Shame it's going to be such a sleeper release.

Yes, the costume is beautiful, altho the palm glove is wrong. Too bad the sculpt of her face is so mehhhhst up.

I was really looking forward to this too.

Well, I can sure see a lot of CUSTOM ANGELICA sculpts in the future!

Hot Toys! You should be ashamed of yourselves! Making every POTC fan ...wait...And then give us this.

She looks zombified! Sophia has more of an expression than the Angelica figure!

What is it with female sculpts that HT just can't seem to get? Still glad she's coming out, but hopefully someone will do a better Angelica head sculpt somewhere down the road so I can pop that one off and replace it. I hope this doesn't happen with Black Widow and Catwoman.

Agreed

Well it already seems like Catwoman has the blank stare too, but we already know the new Black Widow has a nice angry look. The original was probably the worst of them all though. Such an awful lifeless look.

This head would be great for a Salma Hayek custom.
I'm from Spain and I'm used to see Penelope on TV and spanish movies since she was a little girl and this head doesn't look like Penelope Cruz at all.

I'm sorry to sound like a broken record, but to have such a spectacular Jack DX figure and then see this.


I am going to buy it, but I might wait and do it later. I dont think I'm going to preorder it next week like I planned.
