I have nothing against the Sideshow version, which looks good in its own right. However, the Hot Toys version is far superior when it comes to Brandon Lee's likeness as Eric Draven. The head sculpt is the most important thing when it comes to any collectible and the Hot Toys version is spot on accurate no matte which angle you view the figure from. However, the quality of the faux leather trench coat is much better on the Sideshow version when compared to the Hot Toys version. There is no excuse for Hot Toys to charge so much money for their figures and to utilize cheap faux leather material in return. Overall, I would prefer the Hot Toys version, which still looks great, even after all these years. It holds up rather nicely. Thanks, Dean! As always, I really appreciate the hard work, passion, and dedication! Keep it up! God bless and stay safe!

Heck no there’s not😂 before I even clicked on the video the clear and obvious winner is the hot toys one which that head and body just looks superior to sideshow which isn’t really that much of a surprise

Hello Dean! I thought Hot Toys & Sideshow done an Outstanding Job on the Eric Draven Figures. And both looked Unique in their own Way. In other words, you got the Best of Both Worlds. You made the right Decision getting both of those Figs, Friend. 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛👍👍

I worry about the jackets also. The Mezco one came damaged and weathered. 😆 so you could say it’s part of the design.

You did a good job repainting the eyes of the Sideshow version. Looks way better.

The one on the right looks more like Brandon Lee but I love both figures.

I just want a replacement jacket and pants for the Hot Toys version. It’s complete bullshit that the Hot Toys figure is falling to pieces.

I'm curious on how you got the Hot Toys necklace to lay down and not twist up? Thank you for the video comparison.

Hot toys looks a lot like the Mezco also. 😆 and the Mezco comes with all the accessories.

The Crow universe and lore in comics is amazing. I really like the Hot Toys version I think the price is going to increase after the reboot.

The Hot Toys one as far the face matches Brandon Lee's likeness a lot more. Also the hair is a lot closer to how Brandon looked in the film when he had his hair extensions in,giving the longer layered look. Not really a fan of the teeth though, and the neck is way too tan. Brandon had a fair complexion in the film, as he wanted to look like he just came back from the dead. The body, jacket, and overall accessories look better on the sideshow version. So overall I guess it's all up to ones preferences.

For some reason, Sideshow often makes their figures with abnormally short arms
@matrixz68 ай бұрын
Sideshow eyes are closer together than hot toys. I own both but hot toys definitely has the likeness.
@Chris_Corcoran8 ай бұрын
The Hot Toys one has black underneath his eyebrows / above his eyes, whereas the Sideshow one doesn't Maybe that makes the HT eyes look better too

Great comparison!!! Hot Toys one for me hands down. That head sculpt is undeniably Brandon Lee. Sideshow has the better accessories though.
