Great honest comparison. The Hot toys version still dominates on multiple levels. The head sculpt shape and likeness , even with older paint , still captures his darker skin tones more accurately. (i wouldnt repaint mine) Westley has even darker toned lips, not pinkish red as on the present toys. Also, the lip shape and features are just not him. It doesnt capture Westley's likeness-- + bizarre expression. Hot Toys experience, budget and refined process with 1/6 detail, still continues to produce a certain high end well researched aesthetic. Mine happens to have zero pleather issues since i bought when it first released waaay back. Aside from the negative threat of possible flaking, the fineness of the pleather will always look more natural in scale with the figure. As soon as you use "real leather" ( if it even is..) the clothing appears too thick, with larger stitching, and the leather pattern/veining too large for the scale. Example: The "leather" pants on the Present Toys look like thick tubes that cant wrinkle on the way down the leg naturally like the lighter pleather ones do. There's a finer smoothness to the pleather that fits in the scale, draping and wrinkling more naturally on the figure, that is, if you can keep it in good health. ---Also, If something is labeled as Genuine/real leather, it doesn't mean its 100% real. I could be 1% real and the rest synthetic. -- can always run a test for the fun of it- cheers
After seeing Deadpool 3, I've convinced myself to build a 1/6th Blade if HT doesn't make one by the time my Wolverine Deluxe & Deadpool pre-order doesn't physically arrive.
Some motherf#€kers are always trying to ice-skate uphill. 😂
Tbh the proportions of the Blade Warrior is great imo
Shame Hot Toys would never do a 2.0 or a Artisan version or a DX version😑
A DX would be amazing! Especially with today’s technology!
The best chance of getting another Snipes Blade is if HT does the current version from Deadpool & Wolverine which i'm hoping they do.
Hot toys seem to be delving deep into the Deadpool line! So fingers crossed!

HELPFUL VIDEO THANK YOU
I actually prefer the Blade Warrior version
Great Review!

hot toys should make a new blade figure specifically from deadpool and wolverine
Would be cool! I would prefer a Blade from the first two movies! Way more iconic!
Neck is too long on the HT. I’d just get the HT head repainted, and pop it on the PT and keep the HT waistcoat. If it fits.
@@Matman2099 yeah the Headsculpt was always too long without the jacket. But I think the end result turned out great!
Blade (Present Toys) 👍🏼
Blade (Hot Toys) 👎🏼
Brother, one question. Could Hot Toys head swap with Present Toys’s body?
I think so, also the Present toys body is smaller so it might not work proportionally.
