I have looked around on the site for any discussion for this but I couldn't find anything. Hope this is in the correct category to start this thread. Sorry if it is not.
I just wanted to comment on anothers users comments on the new Baroness figure coming out which has the spider woman web paint effect. The comments ranged from her looking like Harvey Potter and so fowarth. Others didn't mind.
I am in that category. I thought the figure looked Ok.
However, the guy made a good point in that Hasbro is making all kinds of repaints of figures already made.
The first couple of waves needed alot of help!
Flint to me looks like Mr. Spock with a beret and without the pointy ears!
We finally got a cartoon accurate Lady Jaye in the DVD pack without that annoying hat. However, her cheekbones are a little too pronounced.
I finally have come to the conclusion that Hasbro isn't really making cartoon accurate faces for these 25th anniversary characters.
And why not?
The cartoon faces looked great or that is what I am used to anyway. Perhaps there are more guys out there like me?
I know Hasbro has their sculptors struggling to make something look good with a piece of plastic no larger than 4" in height. I cut those guys a lot of slack as a consequence. Then they got a bunch of Chinese guys trying to paint in the whites of eyes and irises. Most of the time they miss and they look like Sloth off of Goonies.
But I still cut them slack!
The guy made a good point with the cartoon Baroness looking the best or at least the most familiar.
Hasbro should take their ques from the cartoon if they haven't already for the most difficult to please figures.
Take Scarlett. Both the Pilot Glenda homage and the first Scarlett both look nothing like the cartoon and the cartoon face looked great.
It may not be human accurate but that is what we are used to Hasbro.
What does everyone else think?
