Hot Toys MMS243 - 1/6th scale Captain America & Steve Rogers

[spekerol]

pspoke to Kidulttoys and he said its this week. So My wallet is cocked and loaded. I asked him and he said by the end of this week that may be thursday or friday but either way I'm ready.

My flex pay goes until January... I'm still on the original schedule.

 

[Stachel]

I don't think so. Kerberos Panzer it's my guess.

Yep, I was viewing that on the phone and didn't see the lenses. Sorry for the false alarm.

 

[skizzoid]

So do I have any hope of knowing whether or not I'm getting an actual Hot Toys shield?

From Ebay

That's definitely not a Hot Toys shield- the straps are some black fabric rather than the brown rubber from the official version. It's also lacking all the little buckles and snaps that the official straps have.

 

[RiggsMcClane]

I'm personally gonna have him with the helmet on. Leave the civilian body without a head or posed with the helmet sculpt, that would be a waste

Does this not come with two heads or are people just unhappy with the civilian one?

Each figure only comes with one head. Stealth suit = helmeted & Rogers = unmasked.

 

[RiggsMcClane]

Ah, I see the conundrum. A third head would've been nice. Maybe with a little battle damage. A part of me wishes this was his normal suit. Still pretty tempting though.

Really? then why tease the panzer figure and release it today? never seen two releases in a week before?

Cloud and Loki were released in the same week. Cloud on a monday and Loki on thursday

 

[spekerol]

so maybe tmrw we might get amazed

sweet didnt take any notice of his release

 

[spekerol]

Panzer Cop is not a major U.S. figure not many people know about him. Same as Cloud from Stormriders. But it is hard to tell what is what, Kiddulttoys aka Tony Chueng eBay listing say released within this week so that is a prettttttyyyyyyyy bold listing to put up with out solid concrete assurance. But then again Hong Kong suppliers are pretty broad and vague on their listings.

I didn't expect (although I wanted it to be) the sculpt to look as good as this, but I did kinda want it to be closer to it.

Not as impressed with how the sculpt looks in the newer batch of pics. Although I like the decision to go with a seamless neck. I'm still ok with my decision to pre order, but (for now anyway) I'm a little bit disappointed with the sculpt I'm seeing.

Not disappointed enough to cancel though

.... Please don't use JC Hong's personally painted sculpt for comparassion

He painted that professionally, can't be compared to something that'll be mass-produced.

Why not? Hot Toys can get pretty close to their proto's. That's not even a rare thing, it's actually the norm I think. If you think it's unfair, forget the JC Hong sculpt only pic, the newer pics of the sculpt doesn't even look like the promo's (or is that the same thing? ).

Maaaaybe it's the lighting, pic quality, or usual panic before release lol). I guess we'll see when better pics surface.

 

[bransen2099]

I actually think it's pretty close to the proto and I PO'd expecting this, if people start freaking out than jeez you must be new to hot toys

in HK they only ever know the day before release... a week is speculation

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I don't know why people keep saying with certainty that we'll get review pics this day or that day... no one knows. They'll show up when they show up.

but if you say "it will be today" everyday, eventually youll be right...
