Blitzway - Mask of Zorro - Zorro Collectible Figure

[**16k**]

Maybe it’s the absence of neck, but it looks like a bobble head.

Shame about this one. With Hot Toys being 98% Marvel, DC, Star Wars I am always rooting for any company that is pursuing more niche film licenses since I really am good on needing anything further from those 3 franchises. Looks like Blitzway is not going to be it with this kind of quality. Oh well...now I am pinning all of my hopes on Asmus.

I think this came out ok. When you consider the regular Blitzway slight down grade its about what you expect.
The HS turned out quite nice. The neck problem is not a deal breaker. Just pull out the HS and let it slightly dangle. It'll elevate the head and you don't need to shove blue tak inside. The 2nd HS would make a rocking El Mariachi figure if you can find the guitar case and clothes.

Hey Guys, some collectors were worried that Blitzways Zorros neck was a bit too short, that?s not the case at all. You just have to tuck in his shirt tightly into his pants. His shirt is like a parachute style fabric and it fluffs up around the neck area. Rest assured his neck portions are correct and the Headsculpt is fully inserted into the neck peg in this photo. This is Just a quick iPhone photo, nothing professional...

Xandro Historillo Hi is the head sculp spot on?

Jon Deak Xandro Historillo In Hand yes, in Photos and video it's very hard to get a good shot of the heads. But I have looked at both sculpts carefully and both are Perfect. Paint app, eyes, neck and sculpts are fantastic.

This looks better, so there’s hope.

That video review was pretty bad, I think the figure will look fine in hand...

Neck issue addressed. This is so typical of early photos and reviews, especially when put up by first-timers, setting off alarm bells. Sculpt also looks better. It may well be a little softer than the proto, or the difference might be due to professional photography and studio lighting vs. iPhone pics with room lighting. Production paint rarely matches proto paint masters, and I still think the hair was resculpted.

Thankfully the main hatted sculpt appears to be unchanged. It's just hard to really discern much detail with this bright, washed out lighting he keeps using.

Big difference. Didn?t Blitzway send the figure to them for review? Blitzway should charge them for all of the cancellations that happened as a result of it. All they had to do was make that adjustment before they did the review...hopefully Blitzway has learned their lesson and send their next new release elsewhere for review...

The one thing that stands out to me (negatively) is that plastic mask. They really should have tried to provide a fabric one as well. i'm sure it would look much better than the thick shiny plastic one.

Don?t panic yet. Wait for more in hand reviews. Guarantee it?ll look 100% better.

Hopefully collectors have learned their lesson and stop cancelling items because of ONE poorly made review...

Agreed. Think I might try making a new fabric one for mine, assuming it's possible to remove the plastic one.

Judging from the last few days of this thread...they have not.

If Blitzway is dumb enough to send their figure to a poor reviewer such as Deak then they are deserved all of the cancellations. First impressions are very important in this business.

I didn't even watch the video, I'll wait for actual photos. Every screenshot I've seen has that guy's fat toddler hands clogging up half the frame.

The video showed enough of the figure to make up my mind. This is beyond first picture backlash. This figure does not measure up to its $300 price tag.

True.

 

[jal76]

Now that I know it has a neck I can say not as good as the prototype but as others have pointed out it is consistent with the drops in Proto to Production with all of the Blitzway figures that I own...Carlito, the two Tylers, and the 4 Ghostbusters and those are still 7 of my absolute favorite figures. I think if I were a fan of the movies I would be happy to own this figure.
