So basically a no on using this figures headsculpt on the ROTS body?

I did this photoshop a while back on the prototype where I made the lips darker and the whites of the eyes more pronounced, in the hope that maybe the final version might make similar tweaks. It's a shame they didn't bother to at least tweak the paint apps from announce to release. I mean...

Yeah the smile is way too over the top. He looks more like the Joker. He's also not fat enough in the face. It's all a bit too much, which is a shame because they nailed the last couple Palpatine sculpts.

Oh, do they actually tell you the real estimates if you ask? Thanks a lot for doing that, I've ordered off Popcultcha too.

It feels like an old sculpt, like something they did in 2017 or something and left in the cannon. It certainly wasn't made in the last couple of years at least, judging by how stiff and symmetrical the sculpt is and the lack of PERS. I want a "oh ****, Inart" sort of attention paid by Hot...

This is honestly one of the worst Star Wars figures Hot Toys has put out recently. Re-using the famously bad ANH sculpt for an older luke figure is already so utterly bizarre and moronic, but then to take that sculpt and dedicate an Artisan edition out of it for our first Artisan Luke... If I...

Yeah it's meant to be the Star Forge armour but they went the cheap route hahah. I still think it's a problem that there's a more accurate sculpt on non premium figures though (not specifically about the visor thickness, but more the mask details in general). I don't think we should be settling...

Just to note, the visor here is meant to be the pink/puple line and not the section above it. It's meant to imply the reflective glass of the visor reflecting the lightsabers light. So it's a skinny visor here (in the art moreso than the actual figure) too. Here's the actual figure the art is...

But would you really want the main reference for long term canon to be a gestural/ smudgy painting? I mean its to the point that, despite these both being key art from the same game, they both feature completely different masks. The inconsistency across versions is due to most of them using...

I did an edit to the mask in Photoshop to make it as accurate to KOTOR as possible. Essentially, Visor made thinner, added the additonal missing details / fixed the incorrect details, added some slightly coppery scratches, and added some texture/weathering to the silver part of the faceplate...

The most important issue clearly is, outside of the giant fat visor, the Hot Toys depiction just isn't detailed enough. Every other depiction outside of cartoony ones has it with more panels, more texture and a more complex paint job all around. A another issue with the HT mask is the use of...

Yeah fair enough, I think I just have more of a sometimes dead is better feeling when it comes to this game. I'd rather not endure the potential remakes failures regardless of whether the original still exists hahah. As far as the figure goesI just hope that, if they don't make alterations to...

I wouldn't argue that Resident Evil 4 is a good comparison point though in regards to there being space to expand the motivation of a character (although I do agree that was an improvement given that Luis was killed off super abruptly in the original RE4). Every character in KOTOR has an...

I don't know, specifically relating to story I don't think it's the case for pretty much every remake. Dead Space is considered a good remake, and yet they made significant changes to the story which made it worse (More story isn't a better story, and it ends up negating a lot of the mystery...

Yeah I'd genuinely prefer the game to be cancelled. I don't want amateur developers going through the game with a fine tooth comb finding things that they now don't approve of or want to change, and hell, I don't want new voice actors either. Fundamentally KOTOR is about its story and...

I get triggered looking at the modern, post Rogue 1 Stormtrooper helmets more than anything. I ended up selling all my Rogue 1 Stormtroopers because their helmets were so flattened (plus they also seemed far less posable than other Stormtroopers like the Jump Trooper).

Damn, cancelled my pre-order at Sideshow for Popcultcha. Managed to save around 60 USD before even using vouchers ( I live in NZ so the tax+shipping is brutal).

I don't know, imagine a Darth Malak with the detachable mouth plate as a feature.

Malak and Bastila first, Nihilis, Kreia, Sion second. I'd also take a Canderous Ordo hahah.

Someone else will have to do it before me hahah, I'm a long way away from receiving mine from Popcultcha sadly.
