Hot Toys 1/6 Godfather figure arrived.. and wow!

I got this earlier this morning. Opening the packaging was almost like opening an Apple product. Beautifully presented. I kept going "oohhhhh...." my wife was laughing at me 'cause she could hear me from the other room.

I don't need to add anything else than what's already been said on many websites and forums already. Make no mistake, this figure is a piece of art. Hot Toys and Enterbay are spoiling us at the moment. Each version has something that's better than the other... but you know what? ..if you get either of these then you're in for a treat.

This hobby certainly has come a long way (and gotten more expensive!!)

I love the face on this, I love the paint, I love the clothing (although the tux Jacket does look a little like an overcoat sometimes... have to see if I can fix that), love the chair... damn, that chair. I thought it was a molded seat.. but no, padded!!!! and the back.. and the armrests!!! ....padded armrests??? unbelievable!

The carpet base with brass name plaque and rear walls just complete the "oooh...." factor, and take this to being something more than just a well made figure. This does exactly what I always try to do with my customs, which is to get the actor in 12" form... and make a bit of a musem display.

But Hot Toys took that, and ran with it.

Incredible figure. Absolutely incredible. And for my first purchase since..... wow, since probably my wedding last year (!). .... this was a good one to come back to!
