Hot Toys - MMS157- Sucker Punch: Babydoll

I don't really like those repaints... loses likeness and overdone for me.

Some of the promo images of Baby Doll aren't very accurate to how she looks in the movie also.

Are you kidding?
That one above looks like it's the actress in the images!!!!

 

[Shropt]

It's really not as much a repaint as it's someone who knows makeup and hair styling. I'd only call the eyes a repaint.

Amazing job.

Is that the work of Lonchang Gu?

Some pictures of my Babydoll HT

Boy you'd really have some explaining to do if someone walked in on you shooting those pics (as I look over my shoulder to make sure my wife isn't in the room while I'm responding to this post.)

As you can see he mainly works with dolls, but he has worked on HT from time to time. Here is a older example of his talent.

Incredible. What a talent.

 

[Rzeznikk]

Yeah he is really amazing, but as I hear he charges $1000.oo per pain job. Not worth it imho.

That BD repaint is outstanding

I would disagree with the statement that it's not worth it.
If i had the spare cash, i'd have him repaint my entire HT collection.
But i don't so i can appreciate his grand talents, whilst having to get over the disappointment of not being able to spare $15,000 to engage him for the job...
I have saved his site, but will never be able to justify the cash to pay him for even one job.

It isn't worth it You can get highly professional paint jobs on an unpainted sculpt for a fraction of that price. It's obvious he's really trying to get people cold with that cost.

I'd respectfully disagree.
You might not be able to afford it, and so you will feel you could better spend $1000, but the quality of work is well worth that cost.
I am not saying i can afford it either.
And i have never seen a custom painted like those except for the work of Longchang Gu. And his prices are expensive.
I can appreciate the fabulous work even though i cannot even contemplate spending that kind of money on a repaint of a doll.

If you cant justify the cost then its not worth it.

Even if I could afford that paint job work, I would never pay that much when I could hire some other talent for a fraction of the cost.

Is your arguement that you cannot afford a Rolls Royce so it is not worth the money they charge, therefore a Toyota Corolla is a decent equivalent?

Nope thats not my arguement. My arguement is Im not handing over a GRAND to some guy to paint pretties on my dolly. No matter how good.

 

[cplhicks]

But don't you like your dollies pretty...

Reminds me of a post a few years ago in that "are prices getting out of control" thread. A guy said he's not handing over more than $100 or there-abouts for 1/6 figures, and here we are at $300+ figures retailing
