Let’s hope for Hot Toys that their upcoming Movie Masterpiece for Jake Gyllenhaal’s Prince Dastan from the Prince of Persia movie does better than its 6-inch and 3.75-inch counterparts from McFarlane Toys. Those Prince of Persia action figures have already seen sustained discounting at Toys R Us. At first I thought it was promotional, but I’m wondering if the relatively weak domestic performance of the movie has had an impact on figure sales.
As you might expect, the costuming and accessories are outstanding on this Hot Toys release, but I find that the head sculpt is not quite up to their regular standards. It’s only vaguely evocative of Gyllenhaal from certain angles.
