Hot Toys Blade and Comedian

[CessnaDriver]

Just a few pics. Lots of ones out there on the net.

I'll have to make some decals for the missing smiley on Comedian.

You think after making them so realistic they would put the Smiley on the comedians badge. Oh well...

Believe it or not, the smiley is copyrighted.
So I guess they didn't want to pay for the rights to use it, might have bumped the cost up too much.

I've got some clear decal print your own sheets, so going to give that a try.

Blade looks awesome . . . so many accessories :buttrock:

Did my self printed decal fix.
Not perfect, but I'll take it over nothing.
Now I have to do the guns. So that is four more, and smaller. Sigh.

Yeah, it's nuts.

You could easily buy two and set them up totally different.

It is an excellent likeness, and the rest of the figure is great, but I just can't get past the horrible goofy rabbit teeth on Comedian. Just spoils the whole thing for me personally. The lack of smileys, which both DCD, DC comics, and the film all had no problem in using by the way, is also somewhat of an annoyance, but at least that is rectifiable with a bit of work.

Also, how exactly is he supposed to be holding the cigar in his mouth with his teeth obviously closed together? It looks like the cigar goes through his top set of teeth... doesn't make much sense to me.

Not meaning to rag on your purchases pal, truly hope you enjoy them, just talking about the issues that personally stopped me from picking this one up is all. Blade looks pretty cool though.

I can believe it.

So did you pay to use that decal? if not I might report u :P. Just kidding....

Here's the artwork if anyone needs it.

I used clear decal sheet film from the Bare Metal Foil company.

And Microscale...

- liquid decal film (to protect after printing)

- liquid decal set to slide them on

- liquid micro sol as a final coating so they soften and conform, important on the button because it is curved.

That's the only way the cigar will stay in his mouth. It's optional and just jammed in there like the Predator Dutch figure. I just figure he's holding it down the side of his teeth. Works for me anyways.

Just got my Blade . . . sooo many accessories. He literally has every bit of kit from the Blade 2 movie. I also think the likeness is great. Only problem I have is which pose to put him in. Went with this for the moment:
