I cut the top portion of the boots off. Now I have full range of motion and you can't even tell that they are cut. Also, it's not easy, but you can loop the belt through the belt loops on the harness to prevent it flopping around. It also helps hold the leg strap up. Great review!
I was thinking of slicing the front, back and sides of his boots so that I could articulate his feet. To me, this was the only real change they could've made. So necessary for this character.
I think it's a shame we don't get a 1998 costume iteration of Blade. I like the simplicity of the original vest and much prefer his first matte black machine pistol.
Hello Justin!! Without a doubt this Blade is a great figure, due to the quality of the material of the clothing and the amount of accessories, plus the sculpting of the face is amazing, it is 100% Blade by Wesley Snipes. I also have this figure and I am delighted with it 🤩. Good video. A greeting from Spain.
A worthy effort, but I passed on this one for the SooSoo Toys "Vampire Hunter." Preorder, due Q3 2024. TWO headsculpts (that aren't bug-eyed) and trousers that are more accurate (not leather, as you correctly pointed out). Thanks for your excellent reviews, Justin.
Looks the business. When he has the long trench coat. Looks all in proportion. When he goes down to the bomber jacket or just shirt… suddenly his head and neck look out of proportion to his body. It’s like the head is set too high, or the shoulders aren’t bulked up enough. But! Soon as that trench coat goes on, he looks perfect. I think this figure looks better with the shades on, without… it’s passable. Good review.
Great review i totally agree with you this is the best blade figure out there and yes better than the Hot Toys. Wesley snipes is not a tall guy in real life his uperbody was quite muscular in blade but i understand why present toys chose this body otherwise the clothes would look too bulky. With the clothes on and the right pose this figure looks really Good in my opinion. For the people that say the Hot Toys head sculp is better no way this one got more details and texture and the right skin tone. I'm happy i got mine three weeks ago. I'm looking out for your review of the soosootoys blade figure when it comes out.👍🏻
I’ve had mine for awhile now and finally unboxed him and put him on display today. Love it. Also glasses on. 😅Makes it even better after Deadpool & Wolverine.
100% with the shades. Blade without shades is like Batman without a bat or Captain America without a star IMO (also hearing Justin swear so suddenly and abruptly almost scared me lol)
Hey Justin! I'm so happy to say I just purchased this guy. The online store I frequent had him in stock so, yeah, I jumped on it. Since I have the SooSoo Toys version on preorder, I think I'll display this version with the puffer jacket. He looks amazing with the puffer. Man, I'm so glad he became available again. Can't wait to see him in person.
This is why I prefer your review videos. I watched a few others and people just bashed it and said they would give the head sculpt a 3 out 10, I bought it regardless and will get the Blade Trinity one from Soosoo toys but I feel better now lol
Got it like 3 weeks ago. Amazing figure for the price ! I agree with the display base lol is for a 1/4 scale figure. That's sade i came to copy some of the end video poses hahahha !
@@JustinsCollection great poses , i copy the last one with the katana ;d !! Don't know if you like the walking dead, but Rick grimes season 1 version from Threezero is a fantastic figure , i got so many threezero robo-dou figures recently ,premium quality voltron/evangelion/transformers
This figure looks incredible, I do not own any 1/6 scale blade figure, I am definitely getting him, blade is one of my favourite marvel characters, I think that a second angry headsculpt showing the vampire fangs could have been perfect, great review Justin
Incredible figure, my only gripe is that it looks it's based off of the 'Trinity' version meaning he should be wearing a red top, not a deal breaker and easy fix if you decided to change it, does look awesome though. Ive noticed Present toys have started doing really good suits for their figures.
I'm looking at your posing.... just think how much better this figure would pose with split cut boots. They'd make such a huge difference. As always, Justin, a very thorough review. Thanks.
Arguably one of the best Hot Toys movie figure and Present Toys improved on it? Color me impressed. Too bad I didn't PO this. With glasses on, he looks perfect; glasses off kinda iffy. Looks like people are snapping loose parts eagerly on ebay.
The thing i like about present toys compared to other third-party companies they are remaking old hottoys figures. Most of us new collectors are missing out and so expensive and feel outdated to buy it. I can't wait for Ghost Rider, my holy grail of all figures
Pretty good figure I really wish he comes with those UV grenades that were in the film Including the box with the wire up ones To replicate like they're about to go off into a big explosion to kill all the reapers.
I definitely prefer the soso toys headsculp from what we've seen of it...but its blade 3...and...yeah, no thanks 😂. This looks great with the shades on. But not so much without them. But the genuine leather suit is a huge selling point for longevity. I just wish they/someone made a blade 1 version. Like why do they all avoid the best film and the best suit?
My Favorite Blade's Quotes from part 1 and 2 Movie. Blade (1998) Scene, "Daywalker's" Quotes. Blade - "There are worse things out tonight than Vampires!?" Dr. Karen Jenson - "Like what?" Blade - "Like me!" Blade 2 (2002) Scene, Daywalker's Quotes. Blade - "Keep your Friends close, keep your Enemies closer." Present Toys is almost up there with Hot Toys. The New Blade 2 Figure, really Screamed Wesley Snipes. I truly love his Iconic Black Shades, Black Leather Trench Coat, and inside Outfit as well. I also dig the New Accessories. And lastly, my Favorite of the bunch was Blade's Iconic Sword. 🤩😎😃👍👍
Hey Justin would you say this Figure would look good next to the Deadpool 3 figures? Or would you prefer having another version of this except with custom Deadpool 3 accessories?
Hey Justin, how good you think Present Toys X-men line will be? I'm really turn which collection to start - Mondo, Hono or theirs cause cyclops (or mutant man c) looks great as well as Magneto. but still the unlicensed gonna bugs me a little bit for some reason
I tentatively disagree that the Present Toys Blade blows the HT one out of the water. This is based on comparisons I have seen of the two. I was able to get my hands on the HT blade and will do an in person comparo with the Present Toys Blade (which I have in hand and have been displaying in a Midnight Sons display with Dr. Strange, AOS Ghost Rider and Moon Knight hee hee). The differences / negatives I have noticed just off comparos are as follows: * Definitely the Present Toys sculpt seems better then the HT's one, but it still doesn't capture Snipes in Blade 2 to a tee. Its ok. Def not a HT re-cast, and has better paint then HT but still not there least imo. Especially when you take off the glasses. * HT, Present Toys, and some other 3rd party Blade makers seem to get the mounting of the scabbard wrong when it comes to putting it in the long trench coat. You should not be able to see the sheath when he has it in his trench coat. You should only be able to see the hilt of the sword. * I agree with others when they say Present Toys Blade is short. Its not that he is Wolverine short. He's just an inch or so off. The HT one is taller. You can tell. And lPresent Toys looks like they used the wrong body. His head looks too big for it. Body should be more muscular and filled out. Wesley was not a skinny dude at all in Blade 2. And the almost non existent ankle articulation. Come on now lol. * Present Toys using real leather vs pleather...hell yea. They definitely upped HTs on that. Overall the Present Toys one is a cool pick up if you missed out on the HT Blade imo and aren't willing to ay aftermarket prices for it for what I have seen. Again will do in person comparo. I was able to get it for a decent price but that's not always the case for everyone, and the HT's one doesn't have leather soft goods. I'm highly anticipating the SooSootoys Blade. That seems like it will be the best to date of Blade figures. Now lets see if SooSoo actually releases it this year (you know how soo slow does 😁). Sorry for the long post. I type too much sometimes. 😔 Thanks for vid as always! #jusiceforwong, #justiceforokoye, #justiceforthedoramilaje, #justicefornamor, #justiceforcrossbones, and #justiceforbaronzemo. I'm going to keep saying it until HT's takes notice 😁
All good! Thanks for the in depth analysis! For me it comes down to, better sculpt, more realistic proportions, genuine leather outfit which means better longevity.
I'm not fan of this head sculpt. The eyes are too buggy. The lower lid should have been brought up to the lower part of the iris. The nose bridge needs to be more flaired. The ears are too large and are too high up, they should be lower. Once you put the sunglasses on, i can see Wesley. Without, i don't! Good review!
I want to pick this up but it’s hard for me to figure out the listing that pc005 and ones that say present toys. Also did you get yours from china. Looking for Ellen in US. Any tips?
That f bomb was a little forced wasn't it lol. that head sculpt was fine, the lips completely ruined it, but it definitely does look better than the hot toys one
Quite good, but with that figure make sure the grabber is not up against the suit long term, just have it hovering close enough to catch him if he falls
justin. blade 1 wesley is more bulky. hes body on blade 2 is less .so the body on the present toys is acurate. the present toys is 100% more acurate as the hot toys body and size. wesley snipes is not tall. the only flaws is the sunglasses totally inacurate. .to big...
Unfortunately for me, this does not beat the Hot Toys version. It's not as detailed, and the head sculpt is not as good. You need to take a look at the Hot Toys one in a side by side comparison before you make the decisive conclusion.
hahah totally wrong bro...ht is not snipes at all. please wear glasses and watch blade 2 and compare again...I have both. and hot toys is way outdated. present toys beat 100% hot toys..
Somebody always want to ice skate uphill
Lol
Hearing Justin Say "Dont Fuck Around" was the highlight of my day. 🤭
Haha nice!
10:40 bro cussed 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was in shock and thought I missheard
You sent me to an ad you liar
I was in shock too 😮 lol whenever Justin cusses It feels like Captain America cussing , it feel odd 😂
Yes!
@@JustinsCollection
Are you going to review the Soo Soo Toys Vampire Hunter BLADE figure?
Wesley snipes looked shook the moment you took his glasses off 😂
Lol
😂
Loved this review. The original Blade is one of my favourite movies. Purchased him from onesixthkit. My first 3rd party figure, couldnt be happier
Dope film honestly
I cut the top portion of the boots off. Now I have full range of motion and you can't even tell that they are cut. Also, it's not easy, but you can loop the belt through the belt loops on the harness to prevent it flopping around. It also helps hold the leg strap up. Great review!
Oh great idea!

@@ssmartin6671 I thought about doing that but didn't want the leather to get pinched.
When Blade made his debut on Deadpool the whole cinema went crazy ,loudest pop ive heard
Yeah same I was at the Melbourne premiere and people went off
I already have mine here in the collection, I thought it was a fantastic figure, with glasses it was perfect!!!😎🤩😍
It really is!
I think it's a shame we don't get a 1998 costume iteration of Blade. I like the simplicity of the original vest and much prefer his first matte black machine pistol.

The SooSoo toys blade trinity figure fixed that extra sword hilt problem
Cool!

All good! I’ll cop that one when it drops and we can compare them both
Love the puffer jacket look, but the holsters are massive looking. If I pick this up, the holster rig is definitely coming off
Fair!
So excited for this review been waiting for it for a long time
Hope you like it!
CAUSE OF DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE...IM GONNA GET MY BLADE FIGURE LIKE THIS...GREAT REVIEW
Nice!

When he has the long trench coat. Looks all in proportion.

It’s like the head is set too high, or the shoulders aren’t bulked up enough.

10000% agreed e pet the part of snipes body .on blade 2.he wasn't bulky. check the bath blood or the fight scene with the ninjas .I not bulky
Thank you!
The display base is so bulky like the hot toys bases but at the same time it's neccessary with him not having ankle movement.
Agreed
I’ve had mine for awhile now and finally unboxed him and put him on display today. Love it. Also glasses on. 😅Makes it even better after Deadpool & Wolverine.
Glasses on for sure!
100% with the shades. Blade without shades is like Batman without a bat or Captain America without a star IMO (also hearing Justin swear so suddenly and abruptly almost scared me lol)
True he needs them. Sorry about the swearing lol
Was shook w the F-bomb drop, c’mon Justin lol 😂
Sorry haha

Can't wait to finally get it in my collection ! Some more patience....
Nice!
Nice to see Darrius from Mortal Kombat getting a figure
Lol
Somehow he transformed into Chris Tucker as soon as you remove his glasses 😂😂
Oh lol
Incredible figure, my only gripe is that it looks it's based off of the 'Trinity' version meaning he should be wearing a red top, not a deal breaker and easy fix if you decided to change it, does look awesome though. Ive noticed Present toys have started doing really good suits for their figures.
Fair enough

Legit!
Another awesome figure, partnered with Morbius and Dead Strange! Superb stuff Justin again, constant, quality reviews!
Yes! Dead strange too, I didn’t think of that!
"Bloodbath glaive of the Daywalker" / I believe it is Blade's personal insignia on it. Great figure and price. Thanks for the review.
Oh cool!
I saw Blade right after basketball practice when I was in Highschool.
Dope!
Think I’m gonna wait for the SooSoo toys version to come out first…NEED a squad of 1/6 Deadpool, Wolverine, Blade, & Gambit 🔥
Yeah we need them!
I definitely prefer the look with the sunglasses. It gives that extra umf for the resemblance to Snipes.
For sure!
This looks great, but the SooSoo one looks just slightly better
We'll see how it turns out...
Arguably one of the best Hot Toys movie figure and Present Toys improved on it? Color me impressed. Too bad I didn't PO this.
With glasses on, he looks perfect; glasses off kinda iffy. Looks like people are snapping loose parts eagerly on ebay.
Ah damn!
Looks great although idk why I don’t like the legs and boots

that Morbius deleted scene in the movie will always be memorable
Wot
he looks much better with the sunglass on, hope they make a Wesker
Agreed
Would have loved to see him standing next to the rami Spider-Man since it’s the spidey closest to when Blade 2 was released
Oh true!
Ive been wanting this one, forever!
Damn!
That looks BA, love Blade! Might have to get this.
So good!
Pretty good figure I really wish he comes with those UV grenades that were in the film Including the box with the wire up ones To replicate like they're about to go off into a big explosion to kill all the reapers.
Fair

Also. Blade 2 outfit didnt have leather pants. Looking at the film used suit, they were like a matte neoprene like material.
Interesting
The two handheld blades are called glaives
Dope!

Sculpt on the throwing knifes are just the blade ‘logo’ the headsculpt seems a bit oversized for the body imo though
Oh cool
It's a very good fig at the price point. But the lack of ankle articulation is a travesty.
Agreed

Anybody got a suggestion for replacement boots that allow ankle pivot? That’s my biggest gripe with this figure, otherwise it’s great.

He looks slightly small. Feels like a bigger body would work well.
