Just got my custom painted head back from Mike (Hydeous). I'm really happy with how it turned out. No matter how many times I looked at HT Ben and tried to see Guinness, I just couldn't. SS sculpt isn't perfect, but I can see Guinness there. The paint job was holding it back, but now it...

Re: Hydeous - [Paint Work] : <Open for Commission> Mike - I'm really happy with how the SS Ben paint job came out. This was my first custom paint commission and I'm glad I went this route instead of getting the HT Ben. Thanks for the great effort!

Dude, that's hurtful. :rotfl I was trying to evoke the image from the early trailer. Visceral, stalking. I concede that it didn't translate through the camera lens. It looked better on the shelf and gave off the vibe I had in mind. Right up until your comment, at which point I found I...

Just by hand. Didn't want to break anything. I believe you're correct about the looseness, after seeing your photos inside the hand.

Re: SSC 1/6 C-3PO Modification Thread Nice job. I'd have done this had I seen it before doing the hair dry and twist method on mine. It turned out OK, thumbs and forefingers are loose, but I applied some Future/Pledge to the joints with a toothpick and letting it set up overnight. Original...

Got mine the other day. I was fortunate... nothing broken, eyes are centered, and the head/neck just slid right out with no effort. As others have done, I hit the thumbs with a hair dryer and twisted them. Like the others mentioned, this made the thumb and forefinger loose. I applied some...

What is the ballpark rate for a head repaint? How does one go about getting this done? Just PM some of the folks identified as the painters in the thread, and see if they have the time and willingness to do another one, and agree on the price? I've ordered the HT Han, Chewie, Leia, and Luke...

I've been making my way to the exit for awhile. I was an exclusive completist from Jedi Luke through 2009. As prices continued rising I started buying non-exclusives. Then started cherry picking. Of course, once you give up completism, it just gets easier and easier to pass, especially when...

Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure Let's not get carried away. No regrets on getting this figure, although I did put on an ANH suit and some forearm tape. I'll get the HT Vader, but my SS Vader won't be going anywhere.

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Figures from Episode I-VII + New Interviews I understand the symbolism. I was speaking strictly from a medical point of view. The ability to be dressed and mobile any time soon relative to the severity of the damage impacted my suspension of disbelief...

Re: Hot Toys - STAR WARS 1/6th & 1/4th Figures from Episode I-VII + New Interviews I never thought about that. I was too preoccupied wondering why Luke needed time in a bacta tank after getting smacked by a Wampa, but they just slapped a leather suit over Vader's charred necrotic flesh and...

I wonder if they made a running change to the body? I did the torso swap on ANH and got him down to 13-7/8". My ROTJ is 14". I've had him completely disassembled. There isn't anywhere to take out height without cutting.

Thank you. I got my replacement helmet yesterday which looks fine, and just now went to collect everything for the photo you requested. Sadly, I've realized the replacement cape I received does not have a chain. When I destroyed the original I cut through the chain as well and threw it all in...

Are you recommending a different body, or saying body swaps in general lose the proportions?
