If this is the one you are talking about it is cloth (or some kind of leather). Skip to the 12 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erndog Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 When you look at Hot Toys (or any statues/action figures for that matter) I find it helpful to youtube some reviews and unboxings. People are REALLY good at explaining them, showing you the key features, giving you a good look at the figure, etc. I do that for every figure I buy now. Speaking of which, I am going to be pre-ordering the HT Iron Man Mark 3. I think thats the closest to the comic book version. Also, ordered me the Batman PF! Should be here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 +1 everything said above, and as a general rule, HT uses fabric for clothing, with accessories being hard plastic. Hair is generally sculpted, but there are a few rooted-hair exceptions like Black Widow. Not many, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdoginohio Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has anyone ever been disappointed by a statue that looked great in the preliminary stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has anyone ever been disappointed by a statue that looked great in the preliminary stages? Absolutely. An original hand-painted prototype photographed in the best possible conditions is usually going to look better than when you're holding the factory-manufactured item in your hand. As much as I like Sideshow, they are incredibly hit or miss with their quality control. Sometimes you get a perfect piece, sometimes you get a lot of slop or damage. It's kind of a shoot.

AnthaiHERO Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Has anyone ever been disappointed by a statue that looked great in the preliminary stages? Yes, it's called Sideshow. I kid, not really. You'll encounter this with most companies no matter if you're spending $300 or $2000. I'm just more critical of sideshow since the majority of my statues are from them. I'm excited for new companies like Chronicle and XM. Their QC seems to be better and reminds me of Sideshow before they got really big. Keep in mind companies like XM you're paying for it with their prices and crazy shipping fees. Chronicle on the otherhand seem reasonably priced and so far they're quality looks great.

kdoginohio Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just went to XM's website. WOW! Really like their Widow much better than Sideshow's. Doesn't look like Scar Jo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthaiHERO Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just went to XM's website. WOW! Really like their Widow much better than Sideshow's. Doesn't look like Scar Jo. Yea they're all awesome (except hulk), but unfortunately their Marvel license doesn't allow them to sell directly to the US so you're paying around $300 for shipping. They have a new Top Cow license that they're starting with Witchblade and they'll be able to sell direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violentluke Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) My first Hot Toys piece, very happy with it. Didnt realize the size of this thing. Cant wait for my sideshow pieces to come in as I know they are twice as big Edited March 26, 2015 by violentluke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
