Hmmm. Not my thing. But I prefer the old one. I like the roughness, the larger feet, more detailed feather and the small touches like the stitching on the headband.
The new one is definitely more cartoony. I'd prefer to have the old one, but I might have to get this one until I can find an old one.
Yes still Magnetic J! For the moment prefer the old scuplt too. Who knows with which great colors Jesse will paint it...
I really like the new one better, it's a much cleaner simplified sculpt. I get that some of the charm with resin is it's roughness, or subtle handmade qualities but the new sculpt looks perfect and so clean. The cartoony feel is actually enhanced by this and the whole thing looks very rubbery or squishy, even though I know it isn't.
That would be so awesome if it was one of those rubbery poseable guys. That would make this one totally blow away the original.
i prefer the toenails unpainted. spray and subtle gradation look nice. hope a new hobo is on display at the soyal meltdown show, would like to see in person..
Really beautiful. Reminds me some the multiple color figs i had in Germany as a kid where they were Indians and cowboys with different colored cast plastic parts and you could take them apart. Arbito has the best taste in color and form out of anyone on the face of the earth. Blows my mind every damn time. Light years ahead.
I agree on the unpainted tonails. And I really like the new sculpt. I'm a big fan of really simple, clean work and while the first version was really cool, this second version appeals to me even more.
the only toy thing I did on vacation was click my way through the order process for one of these. I got him today and he rules! Way nicer than the 1st version in my opinion.
