Collection 24: Enterbay MIB Men in Black Agent J & Agent K! The Galaxy Defender
If I have not mistaken, Enterbay is the first to release 1/6 scale Men in Black figures. To be honest, this set is a little disappointed to me.
The head sculpts of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are pretty accurate. Not Hot Toys quality but very close. The only part that I found is not as good as Hot Toys are the eyes are a bit dull, not expressive enough. Otherwise, they are very good head sculpts.
As for the outfit, the suits do not fit the figures very well. The shoulders are too wide, the sleeves are too long. The pants is a little too long as well, especially Tommy Lee Jones' one is pretty obvious. Material used for the white shirts are not suitable. The material is thick, they feel and look more like a T-shirt or undershirt kind of quality. The worst part is there are un-trimmed tails (residues) have not been cleaned up throughout the costumes.
The figures articulations are pretty good! But the joints are super tight on some areas. It was so tight, I actually snapped one of the arm. Fortunately, Enterbay is willing to replace the body for me. Their customer service is excellent by the way! I was instructed to give them back the broken body in order to get a new one. But once I removed the clothing on the figure, there are flashes throughout the body, the mould lines are unpolished. However, the new one that I got is fine though.
Most of the weapons are in the Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) box set. Agent J (Will Smith) only has a very limited accessories, the neuralyzer is one of them and also one of my favorite.
The other accessory that Agent J has is the time jump device. The one carry by Agent K in the photo above.
The last accessory is Frank the pug (The bulldog), which is only a statue. It looks not quite on scale with the figures. This doesn't do anything to me.
For Agent K, one of the weapon is Noisy Cricket, which is my 2nd favorite. Tiny, detail, and unusual.
The shark gun, shotgun and pistol are all made in chrome finished, which are movie accurate! The down point is its weight a bit light, the on hands' feeling is not as solid. But the upside is they don't have problem holding all these weapons even with its sizes.
But the biggest problem of these chrome finished weapons are the obvious gate marks and mould lines! That makes them look cheap and toy-ish.
I am not that impressive with this figures set. Part of the reason is because they have a lot of flaws and majority of them are cosmetic issues, which should have avoid with a better QC. The other reason is that the majority of accessories are putting on one figure (secondary character) and the other (main character) barely has anything useful, psychologically it is forcing you to buy both in order to get the full sets of accessories. I completely understand it is a marketing strategy and a lot of other figure companies are doing that, for most case I am sure figure collectors do not mind this kind of tricks. But using this kind of marketing strategy on a figure with a price tag of USD200.00+, it is a turn off and annoying especially when you are not even getting the best quality figures.
