- This came out longer than I'd hoped so ya maaaaaaay wanna fast forward here and there(I'll forgive ya).
The paint peeling has gotten a lil worse, but I still don't hate it :D
Also, please forgive my hair for going rogue and sliding into frame. Sometimes its hard to contain, and a bit broke free from restraint, haha.
Thanks for watchin, and keep on kraken!
The figure looks good but you'd have to repaint them silver everytime there's a peeling. Rubber body don't take paints for long
Wow that sux lol
This looks like a great figure for artists who want to practice male figure drawing.
The body paint looks prety cheap, i mean there are black spots and its more like gray than silver
Great figure! But not being able to stand on its own is a headache.
Btw, that pownder is for metallic or mirror effect to apply on body, you shoud try in order to improve the shiness
Yes....spray him Tamiya silver, snd rub him with graphite powder...😮
A dude put magnets on his feet and the bottom of the board, it's not great but you cut open his feet and then you can pose him extremely well!
Thanks for this review. I've never brought an Add toys figure and been trying to find reviews everywhere but couldn't find any to see if it's worth getting. I'll probably get him now.
Happy to hear it!
One of my goals with this little channel is to try and explore smaller, third party companies.
As a collector myself, I know how helpful a quick unboxing video or review can be, and with some of these companies, there really isn't much out there.
Should have one from I8Toys and TBLeague in the coming weeks if you're interested :)
And thank you so much for watching, it truly makes my day!
To hold his pose, you should utilize the snake clamp base working with silver HERO base. He looks good beside the peeling paint. It look like they didn't allow the paint to dry good enough before putting him in the gray foam shell. That is what's on the body as well. I'm considering getting him. How is he holding up since it's now December 2, 2021?
I try to avoid using stands if I can (i just dont like the look) but it's pretty much necessary to keep him in an upright pose, so I get a bit more use out of his than others.
He's held up pretty well for me so far, the little blemish on his chest hasnt gotten any worse, and theres a few little spots on the back of his calfs.
I have noticed my fingers are a bit sparkly after playing around with him, so the paint is definitely sensitive. That being said, i try to avoid touching the body when I can. He's in a pose I like, so when im cleaning i just adjust him a bit by holding the stand and/or his head :)
@@figurekraken4317 Thanks your replying back and for the heads up. Now, I'm wondering whether they included that silver powder for blemishes. Just no clue about the application of it. Still, I think I'm going to get one soon.
Lol I was so mad when I got this figure he looks so dope! But that rubbery body killed me! I still did what I could to get decent pics of him!
great video, had been looking for one for this figure. How is the figure holding up now? An did you manage to make him stand ? Can you share a picture or video of how your pose looks now?
Thank you so much!
I've had a few folks ask about him so I plan to do a follow up video soon :)
All things considered, he's held up pretty well for the amount of action he sees.
I have the base out as a center piece on a table, so he's often getting played with, repositioned, or switched with other figures. Basically he gets handled a LOT.
There's a few safe poses he can be in without the clear stand (he ends up supported by the display base) but usually I have it on for extra support.
The base took a pretty bad fall, but a lil glue and it's good to go(was about a 4 ft drop, one on the planets popped off).
The figure itself has lost a little paint on the back of his calves, and theres a lil blemish on his chest which isn't really noticeable unless someone points it out. He does leave your fingers a little sparkly so I know he's losing color.
Fortunately no cracks or anything, just discoloration, which I'll eventually have to touch up im sure.
I believe the body is not tbl but the other company body
Good Video I was Dying when you were posing him in my head I was like lay him down like he chillen and you did 😂😂😂😂💀💀
Thank you!
Thats pretty much become his permanent pose. Took a little work to get the arm righr, but I laugh every time I see it :D
Not sure this figure is worth more than $100, it looks flimsy but that base diorama is amazing.
His feet aren't as stable as I'd like, but that's not too uncommon with seamless feet.
Honestly with 1/6 scale, I tend to think most people would say they're overpriced, and I'd agree to an extent.
But at the same time, I dont view these the same as other collectibles. They really aren't "worth it" unless you really love the character, and even then there are options like statues, props, etc.
For me, having a good looking, posable, Silver Surfer is worth a lot more than a hundred bucks, but I certainly wouldn't say that holds true for everyone :)
So its been several months now, hows he holding up?
Honestly pretty well so far, but I have been a bit more careful with him than my other figures.
Once I noticed my fingers got a bit sparkly after posing him, I started wearing gloves(unless im just doing tiny adjustments). While its probably a little excessive, it does seem to prevent the paint from rubbing off, so none of the spots have gotten any worse.
No noticeable cracks yet which is good, but we're getting into the hot/humid months, so that might change over the next month or two.
I might move him into more of a generic museum pose in the coming months, but thats just to try the base out with a little Serenity model I have :)
@@figurekraken4317 nice! Yeah i want to get him but wanted to see if anyone has had any issues aside from the paint rub but thats expected from silicon material sometimes
I don't think those black spots are splatter effects lol
The metallic powder bag was for touching him up. I unfortunately will keep mine MIB as its to much work to enjoy and maintain.
The curating and maintenance is part of the fun for me, so I don't mind at all :)
Granted, he'll likely take a bit more TLC than some of my others, but that's ok, I can live with that.
Great figure, never knew they did one. Do u mind if I ask u were dud u get the silver sufer
So sorry for the delay in getting back to you!
I got mine through onesixthoutfitters.com
They are out of stock at the moment, but they have a really good waitlist, so you may want to try going that route.
Ive seen him pop up here and there online for a little over original retail. I'll post a quick reply if I spot one at a good price :)
Nice figure. I wonder if the silver paint will flake easily though.
I do think it will rub off over time, especially in high stress areas like the joints, but I dont mind too much.
It feels similar to a latex paint in a lot of ways, so i would expect more of a peeling than a crack/flaking.
Fortunately, since hes just a solid color, I can probably touch him up over the years as needed. Even with my very limited painting ability, lol.
And since there aren't many other options for Silver Surfer, I don't mind giving him some extra TLC over the years 😀
If you'd like some updates down the road on how he's holding up, feel free to ask!
Hope you have a great one, and thank you so much for watching!
Do not spray paint it it wont hold, you need somthing specific to that kind of metirial
I know there are some good pastels you can get for silicone, but im all ears if ya have other recommendations.
To be honest though, with him not really needing any detail, save maybe a basic wash, i feel like hed be fine.
Dont get me wrong, im in no rush to do it, but a few years from now, an oil based primer and paint should be OK. Especially if im doing more of a pose, paint, place type of thing where I dont need to move him much.
And again, it would be at the point where the bodies cracked or the paints peeled excessively. Worst case I ruin it and body swap, which.. im kinda stupid, so theres a good chance thatd happen, lol.
For the love of god use the ankle pivot!! Lol
How can you charge so much for a figure that main feature, main gimmick, standing and surfing on the cosmic board don't work?
That's a much more complicated question to answer than you may think, lol.
While it is a bit crazy, figures in this scale are often in that price range(or quite a bit more in some cases) and it's not too unusual for them to have difficulties standing by themselves. Especially if it's a seamless body with soft feet like this fella.
If you use the clear grabber he comes with, it's not terribly noticeable and keeps him balanced well.
That being said, they definitely could have done something with magnets to solve the problem, and I've debated modding mine just to avoid needing the stand.
Great review but this is not a TB League / Phicen body- those have metal skeletons and do not have ratchets - which is what you heard when you moved the abs, shoulders and hips..
Thanks for the high quality video.. 👍
Great catch!
To be honest, I just assumed they used a thicker frame for the male bodies due to the size difference, and unfortunately King Tuts delayed so I didnt have any boys for reference.
You are absolutely right though, it is not a Phicen :(
Good thing about comment sections is when I'm wrong, people can fix it 😀
Thanks again, and thanks for tuning in!
The problem with the Surfer in the movies (and merch) is that in the comics he WASN'T actually sliver. To create that look, colorists used plain white and sky blue with heavy black lines for texture. As can be seen, he looks too robotic done othetwise.
Youre not wrong, and it is fun to think about. Especially when you consider how gold, copper, steel, etc are done in books but look fine in sculpts/movies.
Honestly think that just shows you how incredibly amazing Terminator 2 is.
The fact that we look at a shiny silver naked dude and immediately think "robot" despite there not being any actual robots that look that way is very interesting to me.
Thanks for share, a difficult character to bring into figure
Yea, the chrome/silver is tricky to do well, especially on a seamless body. Even on hard plastic it doesn't always come out too well.
But, all things considered, I think they did a pretty good job. I'm definitely happy with it, especially at the cost(was a bit more affordable for me than some of the statues that I liked of him).
And thanks for the tip on the powder, i'll definitely do some playing with it :)
Great review, it's a pity it takes so much effort to try to pose him on the base, I'd be scared of him falling over every time I look at him, the base would be cool to use with hot toys Captain marvel though
Thank you so much!
And yes, his feet definitely could be a bit more solid to help with balance. He did come with a clear grabber stand, so that helps a bit(just need to do some work so its not overly noticeable)
I've also had some luck positioning him to where he's using parts of the base for extra balance :)
You're absolutely right about the base, it would be amazing for Captain Marvel!
I'm kinda hoping they make a Watcher figure soon, cause I think it could work well on him to. Maybe even that sweet new Ultron 😍
You wouldn't happen to know what type of batties the base uses would you...? We never got a look at the bottom of the base in the video... 👍
Thanks...
Rookie mistake on my part, sorry about that!
It takes 3 LR44 button cells :)
@@figurekraken4317 - awesome! 😁
Because of your review (the only one I can seem to find also) I bought one and wanted to get a permanent power source so I can keep it on.. Arrives Monday..
Thanks a million man! 👍 😃
@@mams1701 Happy to help! I really like the figure and the display base is amazing, I hope you love it as much as I do :)
My hope is to kracken to a lot of third party figures down the road(should have one from SooSoo soon 😀), theres plenty of info on hottoys and such, but the smaller companies get overlooked, and I aim to shine some light on them :)
Thanks again so much for tuning in!
Great figure review 😎👍 #subscribed
Thank you so much! Welcome to the small, but steadily growing family :)
Superior figure,bro, where can I find it? Really for 200 USD it is excellent
Thanks, and I couldnt agree more!
I got him from onesixthoutfitters.com, but they did recently sell out of the deluxe(they have a waitlist option if interested)
Tnsfigures has him in stock last J checked, but they charge a bit more.
I visit onesixthoutfitters site a lot more than I should, I'll drop a reply if I see them restock :)
And thank you so for watching!
@@figurekraken4317 ok, man,I will try to find it, but I am from Serbia, and it's so hard to get any kind of quality statues,HT figures and that Silver hero is very, very good,in my opinion.
Shipping ruins me every move or good will to send money for the piece.Almost triple the price when arrive at my door
I will follow you in the future
@@darkorakix22 If you haven't tried them, you may want to take a look at Giantoy.com
They offer free shipping worldwide, and have pretty good pricing. Looks like the standard shipping time to Serbia is about 1 month, but thats not too bad, might be a good way to go :)
