    Maybe the most memorable Gargoyles storyline was the one where Broadway accidentally shot Elisa with her sidearm.
    Her profession is a police officer, she absolutely should have a gun. I’m definitely not buying this figure for more than like $5, but that’s an egregious issue. These are not kids toys.

    The obsession with 'protecting children' from teeny-tiny guns with action figures reached the peak of ridiculous when the recent SDCC Deadpool/Bob 2-pack had to be labled for Ages 14 & Up *entirely* because they packed them with realistic guns
    Whatever you think about Todd McFarlane, his desire to work around this nonsense with 'accessory packs' is commendable

    I am absolutely collecting the entire line, human characters included; Elisa is, in fact, above members of the Gargoyles on my wish list.
    It's unfortunate that they released some other person wearing Elisa's clothes. Sure would like Elisa on my shelf, but I guess I'll have to wait.
    That face sculpt doesn't even look fully human, let alone capture the likeness of the character.
    Your honesty in regard to the positive and negative aspects of the figure is appreciated.

    I think NECA (just like they did with the gargoyles) made her more human body realistic. I agree that she is thicker than the cartoon but Elisa (E-Lisa) is half black (Father) and half Latino (Mother) (Even though Maza is typically considered a Latino name.) Growing up in that EXACT same bi-racial family dynamic and culture I can tell you that the curvy-er hips, breasts, booty and thighs are DEFINATELY more accurate to the real world body type of the black and Latino female. I know sometimes you are a stickler for body perportions, but there are also cultural perportions to be considered and in that regard her body is SPOT ON for the culture and probably one of the most ethnically accurate sculpts Ive seen to date of a real human female figure.
    As far as that face...well they went too cartoony on it. The problem is the eyeliner is too thick and goes around the whole eye and the whites of her eye are too white. It makes her face look like an Egyption portrait than a realistic human face. Remove the botton eyeliner, add a brown shade between her eye and eyebrow and that will solve a lot.

      CORRECTION: Her mom is black and dad is Native American Maza is from the Hopi Indian tribe.

    Not collecting them since I don't have the room but I did like the show as a kid and thought the characters were neat. I think they were going for a more realistic look like the other figures but I agree she could've looked a lot better and those hips are a bummer, hate it when the paint chips like that. Not including her gun is silly too

    @joehodgson9217 Рік тому

    I’m not as down on this one as you, even admitting it has problems. I don’t mind the toony face because it’s what I wanted from the line to begin with, but it is inconsistent with the gargoyles. The frumpiness of the coat doesn’t either because it is a coat, in the end. I do think there’s something off with the head in general, possibly too big, and the faces are way too similar to be worthwhile. I can’t say I place much value on any of the accessories. She’s at least slight enough that 1:12ish guns work okay. I gave her my old Toy Biz Deadpool sidearm and it looks pretty good.
    As for other human characters, I’m only interested in what I consider to be core characters from the show. Elisa qualifies as does MacBeth. Not sure if I need an unarmored Xanatos. I don’t need or want really any of the extraneous gargoyles or the mutants. The Pack would be interesting, but I have no room for them so long as NECA insists on not giving us better wings.

Lol, the face could've been better and sup with the hair!? Sigh, I'm usually down for NECA stuff but this line hasn't been productive but still better than Hasbro! 🤣
    Also, no gun?? Not giving figures guns is just dum.

    Neca’s gargoyles were made to look more realistic by adding extra details, they redesigned her outfit. Her pants, In the cartoon I don’t think she wearing jeans or maybe it’s a cartoon jeans, but Neca makes it a real jeans, so same with the jacket, it has to reference reality

  • @Mattyboy-dn4oo
    @Mattyboy-dn4oo Рік тому +2

    The Gargoyles just aren’t good figures to display. Their wingspans are too damn big that you can’t fit them together as a group. The cloaked wings are fine, but they’re not shown with that look too often. They’re nice figures, but they’re not good for display. I think Elisa is a fine figure. The articulation and accessories are a bit disappointing, but I do like the paint applicaiton, especially the faded look on her jeans and the highlights in her hair. Tbh, none of the Gargoyles looks like their animated counterparts with the exaggerated muscles. I’ll just get her, Goliath, and Brooklyn. Not really concerned about competing sets with this line

Figures I'm anticipating that have been announced are Coldstone and Macbeth. Hoping for an announcement of The Hunter and all their variants. There are so many great characters in this series. Fingers crossed, they all get made. I'm a bit disappointed at this Elisa Maza release, but I'll be getting her anyway. Have to complete the line. Hoping in the future they'll reissue her with improvements. Seems like this release was phoned in

Not being familiar with the source material was obviously a plus in this case. Unfortunately, there are too many other things wrong with this figure, so I’m going to have to pass, especially at this price point.
