1/6 Toys Works - Jessica Jones

[davejames]

Just saw on Timewalkertoys that this is expected in a couple weeks, so looking forward to seeing what the final product looks like.

The sculpt on the Mantis figure turned out a bit better than the proto, so maybe this one will too...

Just got a shipping notice for this from Giantoy, so should have it soon, will post pictures when it shows up.

She was supposed to be coming into stock at TNS last Friday, but so far no indication that she did.

 

[Magnusstewardson]

Did you order at TNS, they do tend to usually get stuff in stock first, I usually go with Giantoy because I can pay full and not worry about missing an invoice email. I think Giantoy had these for order before anyone else, maybe they got the first shipment.

Yes, I ordered through the TNS site (rather than their Facebook Group). Both the group post and the email invoice I received said she would be in stock last Friday.

I've ordered from Giantoy a couple of times. Because they're in China rather than Hong Kong I've been ordering elsewhere, as my first order took quite a while to get delivered. Yet the second order, which included the long overdue Alert Line hyenas, arrived in about four days which is the equivalent of a good Hong Kong delivery.

I’ve noticed that my giantoy packages often have a US return address, so they must have a warehouse here. Plus one of my credit cards that charges a fee for foreign transactions does not charge the fee for giantoy purchases, but does for TNS.

I'm very curious for in-hand pics

Maybe it's a shipping agent they use to arrange returns? Odd about the foreign transaction charge, as both companies take the funds in US$.


I think these may have only reached suppliers yesterday, as OSK announced her arrival yesterday as well. This morning I got an email from TNS to say she'd been despatched.

I've been keeping an eye on the Reviews section of the BBICN forum, but as yet nothing.

Sometimes people have photos up very fast since they can go and pick up their figures.

Yeah I would bet Giantoy just has someone for only returns or something like that and ships them all back on a pallet to keep costs down.

Hello,
Still no in hand photos of Jessica?
Mine just been sent

 

[Asta]

None have the three places that sometimes open boxes and take photos (OSK, TNS and GT) have dones so with Jessica. Unless they did open one, saw it was terrible and decided to let sleeping dogs lie.

I don’t know, the tracking I got says mines shipping from Hayward, California.

 

[Magnusstewardson]

Unless they bulk shipped all their US orders over to what’s listed in the tracking as “shipping partner” then sent them out separately from there.

I'm super curious how this one will look in hand. I've never thought the face looked like Ritter, but it in the promo pics it looked kinda photoshopped.

I rolled the dice on this one because the Kingpin they released wasn’t too bad. Frankly there appeared to be at least 3 different heads in the promo pics, which gave me hope they just weren’t done with the first head they teased. Worst case I end up with most of a Jessica Jones figure and have to track down a better head sculpt.

 

[davejames]

Just got charged by Kghobby, so should hopefully get it next week or so. Not sure what to expect, but hoping it's at least better than the OSK figure.

 

[guyver1]

I think the custom I saw on Ebay has a better likeness to Ritter

I got Kingpin as well. I think the sculpt is better than the actor himself, who I couldn't take seriously because he just looked like an overgrown baby to me!

I enjoyed his portrayal of Kingpin. It’s difficult to get too comic accurate without doing something similar to how they filmed Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies. Or luckily finding a huge guy that can actually act.

The portrayal was good, but I couldn't get on board with his physical appearance.


Kingpin's had a rough ride on film. John Rhys-Davies played him with hair and a beard.

Vincent D'Onofrio has a soft baby face.

Michael Clarke Duncan was the best, but he happened to be the wrong race.

The Toys Works figure took Vincent's likeness and merged it with a more comic book likeness, eradicating the baby and bringing the Boss.
