Colour me impressed.

Wish he had the western gun holster and blue hoody though. Pants should be tucked in. And where's his hat?

This is very exciting. With both PCS and Three zero doing 1:6 Horror is absolutely great imo.

Very true. I hope to God they make some Freddy and Jason soon.

Looks like MacReady to me!

Re: Pop Culture Shock: The Thing MacReady

Well they are realising the SoA figures soon so I bet they will release macready too! Although if all figures sell really well I wonder what kind of new licenses they would buy or figures they would create?

The sculpt doesn't look like Kurt at all. Perfect Rob Bottin tho...

My friends and I thought this looked really cool at Wondercon. I immediately thought it was way better than SSC Plisken but I am not familiar with this company so not sure how their proto to production stuff comes out. He is a bit squinty eyed but still recognizable and the spider/head/Thing looked freaky as it should.

Likeness is absolutely fantastic. With a better paint job (that is odd saying that considering SS painted it) this will look a ton better as well.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I think the likeness is the only thing hurting this figure. It's a generic long-haired bearded guy and not Kurt Russell. But at this point, beggars can't be choosey.

I do hope it brings the holster belt, pistol, hat, goggles and some dynamite sticks. Might as well throw in a bottle of J&B.

I wish we could get some crisper pics. I can't get a handle on the sculpt yet. The Clay & Jax pics aren't much better but I'm getting a better sense of what's what with them.

Like AJ & Wor-Gar said, there are some pretty necessary missing bits and some tweaks that could improve this

I think the likeness is the only thing hurting this figure. It's a generic long-haired bearded guy and not Kurt Russell. .

I agree. The rest is hard not to screw up, I mean, it's just a jacket, pants, etc. Simple. The head sculpt was the only thing they had to nail and I think they failed fairly badly - by today's standards.

I disagree. I see A LOT if Russell in that sculpt

 

[FlyAndFight]

Head on, "maybe'...

But profile appears to be way off. I don't expect a HT type sculpt (Michael Caine / Alfred Pennyworth-like, for example) but it's just not up to today's level of recognition detailing. (if that makes any sense...)
