Super Freak
Been waiting for in-hand pics. Hope it turns out well. Would be a great character to have.
The prototype doesn't look to be on the same level as high end companies like Hot Toys or Blitzway in terms of accessories and clothing. And finished products rarely appear better than the prototype. So I'm expecting something on the order of a mid range Sideshow figure as a best case scenario.It seems like some of you think the MacReady will just be okay. Does Mondo not have a great track record with 1/6 figures?
The hair is a bit lacking in detail but the beard looks really good, the likeness is strong and the paint app is quite lifelike. Pity about the jacket and the absurd omission of the blue hoodie, but those can be sourced from elsewhere. I wonder why the second head isn't on display?
In regards to the DiD jacket collar, I found using self-adhesive felt in brown simulates the fur without looking off or out of scale.The jacket does still look outdated and unworkable in the collar area. The tailoring there is comparable to 1/12 scale.
It rides up too high so the end of the zip is above his chin instead of below it.

Might work better completely unzipped, as he wore it at times during the film. That'd also show off some more of the flight suit.
My other option is to use the spare DID A-2 jacket, but that means messing with fur.
(Mondo's sample is also missing a pocket button).

That's the Thing though, really, Who Goes There with such heavy customising. Better to maybe use correctly coloured trousers and a blue hoodie for minimal layers then jacket over. No cutting or sewing needed.Yeah, there's just too many layers. You could remove the white and grey undershirts and replace them with the hoodie, but you're still dealing with three layers of too-thick clothing. If it was just the flight suit and the jacket, maybe you'd be able to futz it to look ok, but the jacket would have to be zipped all the way up, and even then the tailoring wouldn't be amazing.
If you wanted to get ambitious you could try removing the white and grey undershirts, and trimming the blue hoodie and attaching the top of it to the flight suit, then zipping up the jacket to get the look in the picture below.
