I agree with everything Jungle has posted. Ursus is truly a magnificent work of art. The fine detail of his face, his expression...they have captured him like he just walked off the set. So what if his metal plates on the most bottom part of cuirass is six instead of four? His sculpt is OUTSTANDING!!!!! Ursus is such great eye candy!!!!!!! Thank God Hot Toys got the helmet and cuirass correct!!!!!!!
The other gorillas...well...they could use some fixing. Minor issues, but nothing to complain about. It is definitely cool to see the apes in a different form!! Definitely the SS gorilla sculpt is better IMHO than the HT gorilla soldier.
My major beef with the HT gorilla soldier is really the missing widow's peak, giving the gorilla extra and unnecessary forehead, and the teeth are excessively long/bucky looking. The brow ridge needs minor tweaking, too...like it's too meaty or something. I can't explain, but it just looks off. It's not the classic gorilla I want to see. It's somebody's interpretation of one.
I would really love to see the side buckles of the gorilla boots. There is not one clear photo of them. Why? I wish I could see a photo and not be "surprised" after I have placed a pre-order or something!!
Bravo regarding the fantastic color choice for the fabric. They even went with a purple-looking leather too, although Apemania says that it is a gun metal color. And, very cool treatment of the vest. Almost accurate! Definitely up a notch from the Sideshow gorilla vest...but I can't really tell without seeing it in person. From the photos, the vest is pretty good.
Wish I could have a better view of the Captain, though. I would like to give him the once over, too.
