He looks pretty good, mostly. I agree on the shoulders looking too low, and the scarf looks a bit odd. I do wonder what his head will look like without the beret, because Flint looks a bit weird without his. On a related note, I wonder if it'll be the same mold as Flint's beret.

Stalker is personal favorite of mine. The digital mockup is decent, but could use some tweaks. Maybe these can be corrected before this gets into our hands:
1. The head looks a little big, could use a slight shrink else he looks small overall. But I like the sculpt (maybe less wide a few mils?). 2. Camouflage is OK, but I hope they can push it to be a little more complex with a bit more contrast. They should be aware that the original's paint was limited by budget, and look closer at the Garrido art, then turn it up a notch or two (bend don't break). 3. The shoulders aren't low--the scarf is sitting too high, likely on top of the web gear on the shoulders. They probably set the head a bit higher too to get up over the scarf. Hopefully they can carve deep grooves into the bottom of the scarf so it can sit lower. The web gear tends to be a little thicker then needed visually probably to ensure no breakage, and is something I like to tweak with my figures. 4. Maybe a little more stuff on the belt? Scarf can be a little top heavy on the torso. If it's an issue, I guess we can just toss the scarf ourselves, an hopefully the shirt collar looks good exposed. Just my thoughts. It will be really nice to get him, another boxed checked for my 6" T13 as well as O13. Wonder which will be completed by Hasbro first (hopefully at least one of them)? |
