Wez arrived today! I think this is the first figure I've bought that I started customising before I'd even assembled everything. Even still, he's a fantastic figure straight out of the box, the initial shots of him in hand really didn't do him any justice. So far I replaced the body and...

Top stuff, Marine Boy! Marvellous! Mine's arriving today, according to the tracking, so very excited here.

Oooo hopefully mine's in that batch.

eBay.. I'm sure you can get some locally. I'm not sure if they're the 'best' option, but definitely worth a try for the outlay. I was looking for the small feathers used in cushion stuff/upholstery but couldn't find any in my country; and didn't see any black ones, so they'd need dyeing I guess...

I've ordered replacement feathers and some material to get the shoulder pads to the right shape. Looks like they'll be getting here about the same time Wez does. The feathers will still need to be trimmed, but being softer and finer will hopefully mean a closer look to the original design.

That's an intriguing direction for them. I got 'my Bond' being the DID Roger Moore a couple of years ago which I really love. I'd probably be tempted by a Lazenby, which is my next favourite. Doing the Bond girls would be something really amazing if they have the resources for the proper...

Is anyone not happy enough with the suit colour to dye it more purple/magneta yet? Wouldn't be hard to do, but the amazing pop this colour has, which ever present in every photograph I've seen on here, means you'd be losing some of that vibrance.

I ordered this body as it was cheap and local to me as a possible replacement. I really wanted a one piece upper arm design as I don't wante any sleeves on Wez and many bodies have that shoulder rotation joint. It also has a decently realised set of buttocks in the back as a nice bonus too. I'm...

Yeah, but that's what I mean, he shouldn't be cut in at the stomach. The angles on the figure at the sides should be straight, not cinched in. Some fabric to pad that midsection out would help a lot.

I'm going to try and hack a body together from my spares first, but I'm really thinking a fat-pack to create a belly shape under the midrif pieces would go a long way to filling out the shape. Even just a some folded fabric would work.

Premier had no valid excuse for the tshirt full stop. It's just a misread of the costume. If you look at the image of Wez from the back I posted above there's nothing underneath the shoulder pads. They read the shoulder pad inner layer as a seperate shirt, not a part of it. It's a shame how...

Thanks for that info Wor-Gar! Much appreciated. I can't believe how little research they did on the shoulder pads, there mustn't have been any beyond watching the movie all of once. That 'vest' for want of a better term is not even close; but I still think I can unpick that top seam and then...

Indeed. He's not even muscular, to be honest. It's all in the shoulder pads.

Without seeing the figure in person, it's a bit hard to work out entirely, but I've come up with something in in my head using thermal plastic sheet and extending them up higher, then covering it with a similar material. It looks like there's a visible join already at the top of the shoulders to...

I went totally hardcore on the Dark Toys Deckard and still love and appreciate the results today for all the work it was. There's hardly a part of that that wasn't reworked or customised or repainted or resewn. But that was a dream figure I've been waiting forever for, Wez isn't on the same...

I'm still deciding how 'all-in' I need to go to be happy with this figure, but hoping there's some parts out there like the proper should pads, or something that requires less work than scratchbuilding.. but the more I think about that the less it seems to be a problem. This is a good little...

Mine's made it to .au already, which is a huge surprise to me.

I really wish the shoulder pads were a bit wider and higher.. I think I'll need to rework that whole piece cause the whole Wez look hangs off them to my tastes. This isn't a surprise though, they weren't big enough in the promo shots either.

Really surprising there's nothing anywhere online. Some collectors have to have them by now and with this protracted gap between release and evidence you'd expect somone would want to be the first to say how good/bad it is? Gotta say though, it does add some extra excitement to checking in here...

Just paid my invoice to Kit. This is definitely the most 'going in blind' purchase I've had thus far in 1/6th collecting...
