Hot Toys MMS 141 - Platoon - Sergeant Barnes official specs and pics

[ebor]

ADEV, don't sell yourself short, your photos kick all kinds of AZZ.

I especially like the in focus Barnes with slightly out of focus Taylor

nice pics, a-dev!

my smokes should be here any day.

 

[Mr.E]

One thing that bothers me is the different skin tones between the forearms and the hands, they dont match

Again with the brown uniform...it's like a lottery.

How cool is Barneys head sculpt. Simply awesome

 

[a-dev]

Wow, thanks everyone for the nice comments. My main concern was getting good angles on that likeness to try to really show how good it is. I just wish I could erase the background, even when I take photos against black art paper you can still see that its black art paper and any marks that are on it - I wish I could blur the background to just a colour.

Again with the brown uniform...it's like a lottery.

It just comes out that way in artificial light and photos. I opened this figure during the day and immediately remarked how green it looked. Admittedly it does look brown in photos.

 

[a-dev]

Look at this one, I just don't get it. Taylors uniform looks green there while in the same photo in the foreground Barnes' uniform looks brown. Yet they're the same colour in person.

Hey A-dev what marlboro pact you order the Vitanam one or the other one ?

[Kross]

Thanks man

 

[the angry orc]

super fast shipping from 1/6th scale king.

 

[marker2037]

I just ordered a few packs myself. Thanks for the tips guys. Still need to get myself another detolf so I can officially unbox Barnes and Taylor....what the hell am I doing?

 

[gotham_collector87]

Yeah me to........I can't fit another figure in my detolf....... luckily I have an Ikea on the other side of town

 

[barryo]

boros arrived today..............

damn...............barnes is so bad ass he's about to kick some HT ringers to the curb.............

 

[a-dev]

They're really quite an important addition to the figure IMO. He always had them in the film.

 

[the angry orc]

nice pics, barryo! added the smokes. i agree, a-dev. important piece to the figure's look.

 

[bigpig]

lol ordered myself a packet of cigs just need to get this figure bought!

 

[Furley_Ghost]

lol ordered myself a packet of cigs just need to get this figure bought!

Someone is selling him for $130 shipped in the sales forum. Pretty decent price IMO.

 

[barryo]

took a few outside shots today in the back yard.

watched the movie again yesterday & damn it's got me wanting more characters.........
i wish hots would go fairly deep with this line...........just 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 more figures please......

 

[a-dev]

Nice. A dull damp day might offer good photo opportunities too if anyone would dare take their figure out in the rain. Then perhaps that poncho someone was offering on ebay might be a good buy.

Just looking at the characters HT have made and supposedly have in the pipeline, it'll be 3 of the pothead crew and only Barnes from the 'bad-guy' faction.

Of the Potheads King and Rhah would be better choices than Lerner. And pretty much any one of Barnes' loyalists would be more welcome too - Bunny, Junior and Red O Neill. Its not that Lerner is a flat-out would never buy, just there were more distinctive looking troopers than him in Platoon that would look better on the shelf.
