Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human

Quick Review...

Pics first; hard to photograph, very little sunlight left...









This is my first 1000Toys Synthetic human or non-human figure -- so I'm new to the territory. But I have been fascinated for a long time by the pictures I saw, so when this came up it looked too cool to pass on.

PROS:
-Sturdy build. Very poseable. Love the detail work.
-The subtle blue paint wash. Love the one big red eye.
-All 3 knives flip up nicely and hold position anywhere.
-face mask disassembles fairly easily into two parts.
-The crazy face inside is just... well, crazy. But cool. I think the mouth opens but I forgot to try.

CONS:
-In my case, the back half of the skull cap would not hold and kept falling back on its hinge (I needed to heat, bend and reattach).
-The forearm double-blades seem a bit cheap, don't seem to catch 'hold' in any lock position, and I don't like the open nature of the design.
-I thought the three-fingered hand would have articulation in the fingers. The wrist ball joint is difficult to operate without the whole hand popping out.
-No extra hands (since neither hand is articulated)
-Don't like the space between shoulder and chest where the arms attach -- should sit flush.

OVERALL:
For the price, I like it. It will definitely be a blast to pose. And I think its an ingenious yet simple design. Cool assassin. I believe this is one figure that must be played with and posed to really enjoy it. I expect most of my "cons" will fade with a little time and a lot of play.

I have no idea how to remove the front mask without damaging it since mounts differently from Synthetic, i won't say it's a blast to pose, in fact i find it horrendous because his limbs looks fragile with all those blades & knives. The right foot design makes it hard to stand without a stand, anytime those toes will give in and the whole figure come toppling down possibly breaking a blade or 2.

Those pebbles along the left arm are not molded but buttoned in, i have 1 button damaging the surrounding hole i'm guessing from excessive force while installing. The rest is pretty much like the Synthetic, I wished they improved on cutting the nub marks above the knee, both Black & White synthetic had obvious nub marks that looks like a tiny hole/crack, so far those are the only nub marks i noticed on both.

Overall it's good, but i find the quality slightly less than the original Synthetics. Paint weren't perfect i notice some tiny smudge on the gunmetal paint that requires sanding which i probably won't do.

Haven't taken out the mask yet so can't tell how's the face painting.

Got mine today about two hours ago! They must have waited for the shipping to be on the last leg to inform people they were on the way. It looks amazing.

Seiji(Blue Porcelain)

1/6 Anti CaRB Squad - Dual Sai

$200 a piece i don't think most folks can't afford all 4, so i guess Seiji will be the hot cake.

you guys do realize there's 2 blades hidden on the left arm right?

also an easy way to remove the front mask without scratching the face is to remove the back cover, remove the back piece of the head, remove the mouth piece, same thing when you try to put it back as the face mask is harder than the original synthetics.

Why does it sucks?

Why does it sucks?

coz you can't even buy it even though they are available. i guess most people couldn't get pass the final purchase page.

Keep trying, it was like that last time with the carb, and then they set out three different time slots throughout the day for everyone to buy. It turned out pretty well. Plenty of time for ppl to buy.

Not sure about this time though, Im not getting any anti carb at all. I'll wait for the re release human.

and the thing is they put up the items way below the page so you won't notice they showed up unless you scrolled down, at least for me.

don't think so coz there's only very little quantities for them. sooner or later i'll be clicking the wrong colored figure.
