Hot Toys had released several characters from this film, with John Connor, T-600, T-700 and the T-700 diorama, but my favorite is Marcus Wright. When I saw the preview release I thought Hot Toys had produced one of the best coat in the 1/6 world. The fitting and material for the great coat is just amazing, there is a thin wire in the bottom of the coat for you to adjust the shape. The weathering on the jacket makes it more realistic but the overall weathering of this figure is top class.
The Marcus Wright box set comes with an extra damaged head, extra hands shotgun, knife and extra leather jacket which is again very good quality. The True Type body that came with this figure seems to be an old True Type, with big chest, but the arms are cast in rubber, the right arm being damaged with the exoskeleton showing. I feel HT have put a lot of effort into this, trying to make it as authentic and movie accurate as it can be
The paint work Hot Toys have improved vastly, they added extra texture and layers so the head looks more realistic. It doesn't beat Enterbay's yet but it is getting there. With the extra head and jacket, I got myself another True Type body with narrow shoulders so I can get two Marcus Wright one undamaged one damaged. For the damaged Marcus I purchased an extra set of leather gaiters, a pair of Toys City CIA molded boots, which were the same as Hot Toys and I used the leather pants and tee from an old Saturday Toys Biker set to complete the figure. Looks quite cool, though not movie accurate.
The leather jacket is just amazing and HT have done well in sourcing soft leather to make it look and fit like the real thing. The jacket in the film was designed by Belstaff and was original worn by Blair Williams. If you seen I AM LEGEND, you'll noticed Will Smith wore a similar jacket, which Belstaff was involved in.
(Tee that came from Saturday Toys biker set, no pun intended!)
