Hot Toys - MMS169 - The Avengers: 1/6th scale Nick Fury

[Buttmunch]

Prices shouldn't rise that fast in a year.
Sounds to me like you're really hoping this will be $200.

No, they shouldn't, but they have.

That makes a lot of sense.

Based on the last 3 or 4 figures put up for pre order, why would you think this will be UNDER $150?

Red Skull - $200
Symbiote Spiderman - $210
War Macine SE - $240

Exacly! I hope its less, but I'm not living in fantasy land either. Like I said, he's coming with around the same amout as the Red Skull (more accessories, less heads) so I expect him to cost that much

 

[Boba Ben]

He should be $169.99, but he more than likely won't be.

Easy pass. Looks pretty well done; can't dog the likeness, but SLJ is too big a loser to own a figure of.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Which?

I think the new sculpt's eye is too small.

 

[Buttmunch]

Fury for sure.

 

[Centurion]

Woah...Fury's got blue eyes, errr...eye?

 

[Boba Ben]

The Nick Fury sculpt is a big improvement when you look at them together.

Photoshop Team! ASSEMBLLLLEEEEEE!!!

 

[robbiethepainter]

I really like the expression on the Fury for sure better. JC's painting has definitely improved.

 

[Agentofchaos]

Which?

FURY looks a LOT better to me...

 

[a-dev]

I think its technically better in sculpt and paint but somehow the likeness isn't as good.

 

[Boba Ben]

I don't know. I think it looks a lot more like Samuel L. Jackson than The Octopus.

 

[Centurion]

The Nick Fury sculpt is a big improvement when you look at them together.

No doubt.
The one on top looks like Todd Bridges.

What cha talkin' bout, Willis?

 

[Agentofchaos]

It's the older, balder, wrinklier SLJ.

 

[a-dev]

It could be as simple as what Robbiethepainter said, perhaps the eye is too small. Not enough white of the eye visible.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I think its technically better in sculpt and paint but somehow the likeness isn't as good.

Exactly. It's crazy realistic with the veins and texture and paint apps but doesn't look as much like SLJ as the Oc sculpt does.

 

[robbiethepainter]

I think its technically better in sculpt and paint but somehow the likeness isn't as good.

See, I feel the same way. Its got more character and skill but there just not as much Sammy in it. Not knocking it in the least, because it does look awesome. Just something off a touch.

 

[ronin-5]

I was totally not interested in this figure but now I may have to rethink that.

 

[robbiethepainter]

I really think it just the eye. Look at Sam below. His eyes are crazy big.

 

[DarthTrafford]

I said if they nailed the sculpt I'd order it.
Now if it's under $200 it'll be a done deal.
He doesn't come with a whole lot to drive the price up or deem a higher price tag. If it's more than $200 it's a pass,not an easy pass though.
