Hot Toys DX15 Captain Jack Sparrow (Dead Men Tell No Tales)

[MaulFan]

The bottom two photos look more like the color I'm used to, with the tint of gray, but the first one looks more like HT coats, but the whole shot has a red hue to it.

I suppose they could base off something like that and maybe the real prop looks far different in all video footage, especially where the toy coat varies, in some shots it looks nearly black and other spot on and other brown as it most looked in hand before I touched it up. I'm just glad touching it up worked out.

Lots of things done on a TV budget are "good enough". Remember all shows like Pimp My House and the one where neighbors renovate each other's homes? You can't redo a house for $10k, but you can do a bunch of half ass stuff that passes on TV.

Yeah, the Big Brother house looks hokey and fragile, like you could kick thru a wall with little effort.

Eager to see that coat on your new Sparrow. I think you did an amazing job on it, and I'm looking at your recipe to perhaps do the same...

Re TPIR, Bob Barker insisted they not change or update the sets, games or even microphone from the 70s as the show went on, thinking that the audience had to come to love that look and if changed it would hurt the show and it's "magic" and nostalgia.

Thanks, as am I, my computer desk is full of scattered Sparrow parts awaiting his arrival, coat on a generic TT body, my had, loose DX06 hands.

Two more shots of jack...the kitchen comes in handy
I have the trinkets hanging fairly low and i'll eventually shorten them but for now they'll do as they are a PIA to thread.

 

[MaulFan]

Nice job with the post, feels very Jack.

 

[therealjustin]

Wonderful shots guys! [emoji41]





I have found a few more issues with my Jack including the previous nose rub and bandana problem. I called Sideshow and they requested some photos of the damage.

Perhaps I'm just being overly picky but considering how long I've waited for this figure, and how much I love the character, it has to be right.

 

[MaulFan]

Not at all, at $265, you should be entitled to a quality product, I hope for your sake they accept these as damage.

While I may be waiting longer for BBTS, I do like how they've handled similar problems for me in the past, Sideshow actually has let me down and told me that such defects didn't warrant replacement and that my option was return it or keep it as is.

 

[Kamandi]

That's a little something he caught from an island girl

 

[Wor-Gar]

That does seem like a lot of compounded problems. I wouldn't worry about one issue but seems like you have several.

I can't wait for this thread to explode tomorrow!

I couldn't find the quote but regarding the scratches mine had this but then I realised it's a protective cover....If you pick the corner you can peel it off

 

[Godfather1408]

Got mine today. Sure missed opening up a DX box. Dang this is nice.

I really hope they revive the DX lines...I always thought they stopped because of Mime joker had it been museum joker it would of sold more.
I really hope the dx line is here to stay wonder whats next?

 

[Wor-Gar]

The goal of the DX line was to get people used to paying $250-$300 without blinking. They did that. No need for DX anymore.

 

[therealjustin]

Well in that case they should have DX figures start at $500

^ Don't give them any ideas.

Was waiting long enough I'd forget about this guy - but...a day delay from those nor'easters ended well when.....

OMG. This is the ONE and I own all the Jacks. It's freaky how perfect the face is d*mn you Hot Toys! Yeah, adding the little bits takes some futzing but I like futzing. This is the ONE. From the hand wraps to the hair trinkets - even the little bird skull in the back of the hair - to the wrist wraps to friggin' working pockets in the jacket - Jesus.

I thought Dr. Strange was a great release - and he IS - but I love the sea. The sword metal sword blade. Love this base - sort of a strong rubbery plastic stuff that won't be chipping. Don't have time to work with him much but for sure I want another one to upgrade my early Jacks. I'm blown away. Why can't every sculpt be this good?

Couple of quick cell pics - wish I had more time but anyway even the BOX is a stunner. Just when I'm irritably thinking my fav MCU character Bucky needs a sculpt upgrade for IW and what I'm NOT gonna buy re IW I get something like this. I don't know all the fine details re costumes that some have mentioned but jeez it's like having a mini Jack - freaky LOL

SSC second wave charges April 4th. I’m a second waver .. assuming third party retailers will be shortly thereafter then.

 

[pjam]

April 4th, ok. So all BBTS are 2nd wave as well, I guess we'll be getting ours shipped around the 10th -15th. I'll be expecting a BBTS 10 day notice April 1st and it better not be a joke.

I wonder if any tweaks were made, someone mentioned a lighter skin tone, but Jack had a pretty dark tan so we'll see.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Better hat.
