Like the Appleseed figures I reviewed last week, the skin tones for a ‘virtual’ character can and indeed should be more graphic, but as these characters become more and more lifelike in both movies and games, it means the quality of the paint application has to come up in line with them. The hands are also a nice sculpt and are a great representation of the fingerless gloved hands seen in the game the right hand is trigger grip and the left is in a general gripping position, they hold most of the accessories well with the exception of the small knife, but any problems and a small ball of Blu-Tack goes a long way. The hair is sculpted as a separate piece, but it’s virtually seamless and because of its graphic styling it works much better than the recent POTC Elizabeth Swann or SST Aragorn. The hair is nicely executed as well and has a very graphic Anime/Manga feel to it, and as Capcom is a Japanese company, based in Osaka I guess that’s not too surprising. The heads have nice clean chiselled features with a slightly frowning, determined, expression. I do, however, have a lot of friends both real (I know, hard to believe) and online who are hard-core gamers, and they all seem pretty blown away by these figures, and still screen grabs I’ve seen show that these sculpts capture the look of the characters fantastically well, as you can see here -īoth Leons come with identical head and hand sculpts.
I am however very interested in nearly all areas of pop culture and as such these were just too cool to pass up, especially as they are HT first release in the VGMS line.
I’m not gonna lie to ya, I am first and foremost a 1/6 collector, I’m not a gamer by a long shot. So two nice boxes that do a great job of protecting the contents, in truth I think the Asian colour-way is a bit classier, but that’s just personal taste. The back of the box has pics of the two versions of the figures and their accessories. The inside flap also carries an atmospheric image from the game of an abandoned boat hut and log pile next to a misty lake. The only difference between these two boxes is a red sticker on the front that says RPD version on the ‘you guessed it’, RPD version. The facing flap has a blister card (don’t worry, all collector friendly, as it is held in slots by low tack clear stickers), this holds the impressive array of firearms and gadgets that are shared by the two The main box holds the fully dressed and assembled figure alongside his character/game specific accessories. They’ve taken their lead from the SST, Star Wars line, as they are flap fronted with a wrap around side panel and held shut with magnets. I’ve spotted that these all come in two colour ways, black boxed with the Biohazard 4 logo for the Asian market, and white boxes, which bear the Resident Evil 4 logo, as it is known in North America and Europe. Here’s the HT spec on the regular version,

I shall be reviewing the full line-up eventually, but thought I’d kick off with the most anticipated, our hero Leon, in both his regular outfit and his Raccoon Police Department

Hot Toys has brought as much love and attention to this line as they’ve brought to the Movie Masterpiece Series (MMS), and with this much attention to detail fans of other games like Halo, Half-Life, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill and Final Fantasy to name but a few, must be praying that HT get the license to bring their heroes to life as well… all be it 1/6 life. It’s shaping up to be a great addition to the recent Japanese CG movies, Final Fantasy: Advents Children, Appleseed etc., and will probably make these figures even more desirable after release you can view the Where you’ll find out that Capcom, the company behind the games is working on a CG feature-length movie, Resident Evil: Degeneration, set seven years after the original game. You can bring yourself up to speed on RE4 by visiting Wikipedia The subject of this release is the multi award winning Resident Evil 4 (RE4), a game series that has already inspired three live-action movies, and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. We live in an age in which virtual stars are fast becoming as important as the flesh and blood ones that we idolise so much, and the release of a much anticipated game can be welcomed with almost as much fanfare as a blockbuster movie.Īnd so Hot Toys (HT) has released the first five figures in their new Video Game Masterpiece Series (VGMS).
