For me, the issue is not the colour of the tights, but the spray tan orange of the skin. It's a bit fierce.

Resuscitating this necro thread to post this by Monster File. Severely limited run, available only in China. Shame. Not a bad offering.

Werewole? WTF? Agreed we need some more monster figures. Allegedly, this will only be available in China. Where from in China? I have no idea.

Looked up Entertainment Earth and it is in the US. I am in the UK, so my retailer is no good to you (and wasn't much good to me, either). I wanted to show the neck texture, which is baffling me. It is a 100% crop of that large picture up there, so crap quality, but it shows you what is what...

Thanks for that. Arms and legs look to be the same colour, perhaps slightly lighter, but your cape edges look a world different from mine. Well, damn (for me. Yay for you). No point me taking this up with the supplier as it took weeks and multiple emails for them to send the bloody thing in...

^That is strange. On mine, the legs are lighter than the face and arms (as you can see in the photo). Is it the other way around with yours? I would be interested to see a picture.

I tell you, Robin's is worse. Look at the edges. They have been oversewn and the tension must have been off as they are seriously puckered. Also, the shoulders of the cape seem to have been made of the pattern for Batman, as they are too wide for Robin. So, yes. Small, strange blips in...

Anyone else got a Robin? Wow. Seems as though it was made by a different company. The skin is spray tan orange and the cape is poorly finished. Perhaps because of the colour of the face, the paintwork on the face looks more crude than it does on Batman. His neck is also the texture of...

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human I can't see why the original owners wouldn't be happy, unless they bought one just to flip it when the price had reach stupid proportions. I would imagine the people who ended up paying $300-350 for a flipped one aren't pleased, though. But...

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human This seems to be a Japanese sales model when it comes to collectors' stuff; the extremely limited release, the long delay between releases, the lottery etc. It can seem pointlessly complicated and is likely to put some people off, but it is...

I use AmiAmi or Hobby Search, but AmiAmi are usually cheaper.

Fabulous! Now I want one too. *goes off to scour eBay for something to paint red*

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human Exactly this. Don't judge their output by Hot Toys' standards. This is a different beast; artists not entrepreneurs. It has its advantages and its disadvantages but, judging by the extraordinary innovations in the Synthetic Human, I am...

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human That makes more sense than it being just one person. I am not feeling these ones, which is good news for my wallet. Anyone else getting a slight ThreeA vibe off them?

Will do. Cheers, Chris.

OK. This is looking promising. The grey looks too dark on that one, but you think he might offer other colours? I can ping him a PM, certainly. And thanks to all who have been chipping in with help on this. I had a hiatus from SSF for a while and feel very welcomed back again. What a great...

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human I know they have artistic collaborators, and on their FB page they talk about the company as "we", but they recently posted an update and apologised for the delay in getting it out. As always, forgive me for taking so long, as there is only...

Re: 1000toys - TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human This person has some fierce talent, but I do feel for them. I am sure they didn't anticipate how successful their work would be, and now they have people effectively demanding that they put more on sale/sell online (they do)/give them what...

Wow. OK. Looks like it might be a false economy, then. Damn.
