I know! That's why I like to show a ton of angles in my reviews so folks can see how it looks in various conditions! But that's also the fun part about art! We all see it differently!!
Probably the best Keanu sculpt Hot Toys has done so far, but still pretty soft. Kind of looks like if they made a John Wick video game and then Hot Toys made a figure based on that. Your right that his likeness seems to be difficult to capture, but I've some a few custom head sculpts that have totally nailed it.
I think Hot Toys is going to make you curse again by giving this figure the Artisan treatment. It’s a popular character and rooted hair on a Keanu would sell.
I got two of these and loved them! Hope it helps! store.asmustoys.com/products/copy-of-asmus-toys-1-6th-weapon-racks-setgrey?srsltid=AfmBOopdKAsBKOyr4XJ8wtQuVvR_HEUY0sAH3uk7y1MqLe-RaJhGun9k
I have the first one.. and all the Keanu figures hot toys has released. In my honest opinion i think the matrix one ( the newer movie ) has the best likeness. I also have two custom ones with custom heads ( that cost more than a complete figure😂) that looks so much better that the John Wick 4 one. I think the problem with the head is that Keanu’s beard ( or most hot toys head ) is that they make the airbrushing on the beard too obvious.. so soft and always lighter colored that what is supposed to be. This seems like a common problem( even the blitzway statue couldn’t get the beard’s color/darkness right ) and im 100% with you., the prototype looks so much better. I dont like sweeping/action hair it looks silly. I mean ill still get it but i don’t dig the head.. godwilling hot toys will make an artisan version down the line. Two heads one slickback hair and the dog. Boom!!
I agree with John Wick losing realism after 1&2 (which 2 is my favourite), especially in 4. And I also missed out on the original. Whilst there's a downgrade, overall I like it.
Yeah, the wrist pegs are annoying, it automatically takes away the believability to the 1/6 figure and poses ….why not create seamless forearms? Is it too much for overall cost or not worth the RnD?
I think they are cheap to do. But they have mass production to consider and wrist pegs will always keep overall margin slimmer. And until we stop buying they won't start giving hah
I would love this figure but there is so much to collect. As someone said about Hot Toys it’s not Pokemon and you can’t collect them all unfortunately. I definitely tried lol. 😂 I do like this but at some point you have to know you can’t buy everything even though I want to.
You can't judge the likeness on the promo photos hot toys puts out. I've seen this figure reviewed by a Chinese youtuber and it looks way better than this. It all depends on the lighting and of course in hand is totally different again because your eye can see more detail in the real thing than in a video or picture. I'm not a john wick fan at all but the actual figure looks alot better than these photos.
100% agree! It can give a solid gut check but figures like my days of future past wolverine looked way better in hand than the blogger pics did! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!!
For some reason, I don’t like his head sculpt at all, but I showed my wife who I just shown the whole franchise and she says it’s spot on …..so I am just confused but I am gonna pass on this
That's not Keanu Reeves, that's JOHNNY f*cking SILVERHAND !! But joking aside, I think they reused their strongest Keanu headsculpt they had and tweak it. I'm saying because Johnny silverhand has sharper nose than Keanu, and I can notice that in the JW 4 figure
You’re so right, spot placement and lighting can really be make or break for a good piece…Great review!

You might be 1000% right lol
I love how Hot Toys does the tailoring 🧵 their 1/6 figures always looks amazing, I love how the clothing looking in those action poses
So good eh!!
OOOOOOOH man I love Bengals! I had a silver and a brown like 15 years ago and they were the best boys.
Hah thanks buddy
Hey man you said to hit your up for the link for the gun rack display I’ve been looking for one for ages 😅

I had a feeling this would be coming out soon once Caine was released.
Heck ya! It needed to!

Agreed! I've seen some say it doesn't look like him at all which i think is harsh lol thanks for watching!
I think the hair throws it off, some rooted would have been great.
Yes maybe!

This one might be one that hangs out for a little while
@@TheBenThomasShowThanks Ben. Hopefully I can pick it up eventually.

@@astrohilfiga6966 soon as I’m done with your mother. 😉

I really like it but many people feel how you do! I plan to get it in and I'll review it once In hand!
