Hot Toys 1/6th Resident Evil 5 NEW PICTURES!!! resculpted body and head.

Its totally fantastic that they've resculpted and revamped the head and body for both sheva and Chris from RE5. Sheva's looking mighty fine and accurate to the video game, though i must say Chris redfield doesn't look impressive. Though both headsculpts are good, chris falls short in terms of costuming, and his muscles look a tad' too shiny?....

Awesome pose










for weapons used against the zombie hordes, they look pretty new and clean...



i'm awefully dissapointed that the weapons i've unlocked and bought in the RE5 game did not show up here considering the costume isn't that impressive. where's the m3 shotgun?




i wish he used the laser sighted with acog scope mp5 rifle. would've been better.








the AK-74 doesn't look all that impressive but the headsculpt's decent.

with a somewhat tight and limited budget i'm still undecided about these figures, though i must say sheva looks more video game accurate in terms of costume and stands out more than chris. Somehow much of the awesome touch Chris had in video screens are lost on the figure...perhaps due to the lack of details on the muscled body? and its a tough fight between Chris and Dutch, both having muscled bodies.

I cant see any joint on the arms for Chris. it is articulated? They use silicon jacket? As for the sheva, they gave her a bra? Cool. I hope she also have some silicon for the....LOL

The RPG launcher is what I want here. But will not buy this figure.

@ leon - the joints are covered by rubber bro, muscular bodies mostly cover from the neck to shoulders and arms. in this case i beleive his legs are muscled too. including the ass.

Sheva i do believe use the HOT TOYS angel figure. and erh...yeah technically has rubber boobies.... lol bet you're rejoicing over at your computer!!!!

@ Desmond - yep...RPG launcher for your TONY STARK BASH BRO! haha that would be totally random and hilarous... why not? i like the sculpt but the body falls short to my expectations with DUTCH's

are you ordering dutch by the way?
