Custom DiD Jacket test fitted to figure
those are some serious CLUBS for hands
The hoodie is pretty big, I abandoned mine for now. Just FYI I believe it was the one mentioned before.I pretty much have this figure the way I like it:

I just need to figure out how to apply the fur collar and buttons to the jacket. I did order one of those light blue hoodies from several pages back. Just waiting for that to come in.
What body is that? Proportions look pretty good. Neck and hands look like a good match to the skin tone on the portrait.I pretty much have this figure the way I like it:

It maybe the flaws that make it interesting. So using a WorldBox body, managed to get the boots to fit too.Or you could keep it on shelf after a body swap and just accept it for the good but flawed figure it is. I mean, the 1982 movie was flawed too in many areas but we still love it even if it ain't as polished as a modern movie.
Just enjoy that you finally got a 1:6 Mac, it has been long enough. If I can happily display some 90's Kenner 12 inch figures I can sure as heck display this figure too. I say shift it only if you get a better replacement (custom, third party or officially licenesed).
Thank you my friend, you inspired me to take another look.Well after all the things I have read on this tread and the things others have achieved i decided to do my own thing without incurring any further expense. I shall.be tinkering with the pose, clothing, maybe the hair too. Waiting for Directed by John Carpenter name plate.
Mac is now part of my John Carpenters The Thing tribute.
So, current progress on my custom MacReady...
Completed a body swop & shortened the legs to be more accurate to Kurt Russell's actual body height (his legs were too long before).
Added my recently completed DiD leather jacket with fur lining & button mods.
Added custom Doggie Doc 'Michael Myers' boots.
Added green Jumpsuit from another DiD figure.
Added blue hoodie from Hot Toys Spiderman Homecoming figure.
Replaced flamethrower hose with more accurate braided version (phone charger cable).
Still more mods to try over time. Love working on this figure.

Yup, that's about the size of it.Looks great! Awesome work!
But basically what you're saying is: head, T-Shirt and flamethrower were the only usable parts of a 300 USD figure... That's kinda sad... Not a great look for Mondo...
So, I wanted to try something a bit special & experiment with the 2nd 'frosty' MacReady headsculpt...So, current progress on my custom MacReady...

Woah, that's a fantastic idea!!So, I wanted to try something a bit special & experiment with the 2nd 'frosty' MacReady headsculpt...
Whilst it's still a work-in-progress, I've removed the 'helmet hair' and intend to shape the underlying lumpy resin head with some air-drying clay to make it more rounded. Then, I'll put it inside the hoodie, to get that more frosted exterior-look of MacReady in the movie.
Here is a quick test-fit, to show what I mean..
