    MONDO - THE THING

    For anyone who was interested in picking up the DId Captain Rafe leather jacket, as a replacement for the Mondo one - I can verify & recommend it - it’s a great jacket. Far more accurate to MacReady. Real leather & thankfully the name tag comes unattached. Just need to fur line the collar. 👍

    MONDO - THE THING

    The jacket is a huge let-down. The other items are useable (even those boots) but to me, figures like this live or die on the combination of a quality head-sculpt & jacket. (For example, Indiana Jones, Mad Max, Ripley). The head-sculpts look really good to me but that jacket belongs on a $30...

    MONDO - THE THING

    Looks like Mondo ditched what would have been an amazing addition, if they had included the blue hoodie. Viola (the headsculpt painter) posted images of her work - where one of them was a faceplate for the hoodie (I assume). Looks awesome. Such a shame it wasn't included. Mondo dropping the...

    I thought Neca did a very decent job on their MacReady line. :)

    Can you spot the odd one out?

    MONDO - THE THING

    Such a miss on that Mondo jacket. It's completely inaccurate. Headsculpts look really good though. Looks like they removed the blue hoodie from the original prototype (and hoped no-one would notice) simply to make the cheap jacket look less puffy..... I won't even mention the boots...LOL...

    Jazzinc The Batman - Batmobile 1/6 Deluxe

    I do know the side-chassis issue was mentioned more than once by the fb community, back in the early days of prototyping. However I don't believe it was ever responded to by JazzInc - so never knowing whether it would be fixed or not. Also, the community can only point out so much, especially...

    Thank you for engaging in conversation Joost, it cannot be stated highly enough how refreshing it is to have a conversation with a manufacturer. Just to be clear, that wasn't my overlay animation, however the animation was certainly correct in suggesting an obvious issue exists in the...

    Jazzinc The Batman - Batmobile 1/6 Deluxe

    No disrespect Joost, but I do not feel these two specific issues (headlight color & side chassis area) can be called 'a matter of opinion'. Your very useful CAD image illustrating the side chassis issue clearly shows how all four movie cars were constructed. However, for whatever reason, it...

    This has been bought up many times with Joost. Unfortunately he doesn't want to acknowledge the problem or fix it. I'm already planning on cracking open the dremel to fix this. It's a shame there are quite a number of obvious issues that won't be fixed before production.

    Absolutely agreed. It goes without saying we're all excited to have this piece as part of our collections. It's a helluva achievement to get such art out into the world. Giant thumbs up for Joost & Jazz Inc for all these projects. As an accuracy nerd, my personal view is that with these higher...

    Jazzinc The Batman - Batmobile 1/6 Deluxe

    I was concerned about the size of the LED's also, as they are obviously too small. I'm hoping if access can be gained to swop out the LED's, then I can 3D print some headlight bowls & lens' & inner rectangular frame, if required. The headlights also appear to be positioned incorrectly, kinda...

    Apologies, I'm not quite sure what you mean........... You have shown a reference image with Yellow headlights - then say you couldn't use Orange LEDs - when you clearly have. My point was that you had used Yellow LEDs already, in your prototype model & solicitation images. Why not then...

    Jazzinc The Batman - Batmobile 1/6 Deluxe

    It looks like a great model. Although Jazz inc have often said they aim for movie accuracy, therefore to my mind I'd expect them to deliver a movie accurate vehicle - or as close as is reasonably possible. Headlight color seems like a easy thing to get right however not in this case. Hopefully...

    Jazzinc The Batman - Batmobile 1/6 Deluxe

    That is a shame the quite obvious headlight color issue will not get fixed. The solicitation images on the Jazz-inc website at least show Yellow headlights but somewhere along the line they got changed to Orange. A strange decision in my view. I hope there is access to the Orange headlight LED's...

    The image above has been color graded - therefore I believe your headlights are the incorrect color. The movie car didn't have Orange headlights - but were in fact Warm White in color temperature, giving off more of a yellow hue. There are many images of the movie car(s) which all show the same...
