1/6 Hot Toys - MMS194 - The Expendables 2: Barney Ross Collectible Figure

[rad toy review]

That head sculpt is.. rough.
Though honestly, it's probably close to what Stallone looks like in real life.. with the eye-lifts and overly dark dyed hair.

 

[Firebird]

I really like the outfits that it comes with this time around. The tactical outfit or costume is way more detailed compared to the first release.

More tanned, more wrinkles and blemishes, lips look better and he kinda looks more angry.

I am so glad I didn't pick up the first one, was considering it just before this was announced for something like £200 so i'll be saving some money

Well the 2nd one definitely has an impressive realistic quality in detail .....but the sculpt itself I don't think is nearly as good ... and even if it actually was a perfect Sly, the expression is hilarous.

By you I hope you dont mean you/me specifically because I think the first one pisses on the new one

No, I just quoted your post because you had the perfect side by side pic of the two sculpts

I am so glad I have the first one.

Awful head sculpt. Another Latino cosplayer. Could be new Stark's new friend.

Agreed, looks more fitting especially the Tac vest

Pre-ordered

Been waiting for this for awhile and finally HT is including accessories that remotely justify their price point.

$188.99 at CSC:

Going to assume that's going to be roughly what AE will have him listed at too. Definitely not a bad at that price

EDIT: Yep, $188.99 at AE as well.

total for me including shipping is $201 if I were to order from there. Cheaper than $215 from SS. Like others, I'm waiting for in hand pics first though.

 

[Firebird]

Yep, AE has it listed for $188.99 now. Not too bad of a price at all.

 

[HulkSmash]

A real good price for everything you get...unfortunately I'm not a big enough fan of the series to need this one in my collection. I have to admit though all of the accessories that come with this one for the price is awesome. Congrats to those picking him up.

I'll be honest here and I while respect others opinion on here I actually like the sculpt of the new one, I'm even considering it where as I wasn't before.

 

[MaulFan]

I really don't get some of the sculpt comments, it looks just like Sly, but for some reason, HT loves to idealize the shape of his nose rather than capturing the asymetry of it that he really has, and they make him a little less sickly looking.

If anything is lousy about this figure, I'd say it's the reuse of the body from the previous Barney figure, the neck is horrible looking on that body of HTs , it looked bad enough on the original Barney and looks even worse here.

Good for you dude, i too quite like the HS and it's cheaper than i expected.

I'm thinking or Pre-Ordering at OSB but i don't like commiting an NRD in case i need to cancel.

 

[Darkseed]

I don"t see a problem with the figure....that said i'm fine with my version 1 easy pass......

 

[TotalDominAsian]

I had no idea Barney Ross was such a popular character.

That said... I figured 1/6 companies like to make Stallone figures since he's known to be a 1/6 fan.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Look at how better fitting the vest is...

From this

To this

Especially over the shoulders, the beret also looks less french artisté and more military.

 

[Biojex]

I like how the outfit covers up the elbow joints on this one.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

As cliche as it sounds i think the lighting is throwing it off. Up close it looks great but far away, the shadows build up just below the inside of the eyebrows and makes the eye area look very dark.

Looking forward to the toyhunter display pics and the On.cc ones

 

[Locololo]

This figure is only worth it if they also do: Arnie, Norris, Van Damme and Willis.
