CW has the faceplate swap which elongates the face.

I think AOU and WS are the same.

Of course.
sorry.
I didn’t think the helmet was different though.
But both of my CW Caps are still in sealed boxes, lol.

Anyone know of a good 3rd party head sculpt for this guy? Somehow the paint in mine got chipped and really don?t want to pay the high price of a official head sculpt if I don?t have to

Right on the hair

I would just keep the regular one and try and touch it up myself.

Mine came with the back of his head missing paint on a few strands. Contacted Sideshow and they sent me out a brand new head at no cost. They didnt even make me destroy the defected HS.

That?s nothing. I drybrushed my Obi-Wan sculpt for more definition and if you did the same, you would cover that up.
I certainly wouldn?t pick up one of those crummy bootlegs to cover the damage up. None of them are as good as the OG HT sculpt.
If you know how to dry brush at all, just pick up a sandy colour and dry brush over the damage.

Yeah, I wouldn’t decrease the quality of the entire sculpt just to have one that is blemish free. Often times the HT sculpt is the superior sculpt, so I’d just try and touch that up.

I have no idea got to dry brush. Guess I?ll try to look into and see what I can do. Thanks for the tip!

Also what sort of paint would I need to use?

It depends on the look you are going for.
For sure, look up a tutorial on YouTube.
There’s a repaint a bit further back this page. PM that guy and ask what colour he used.

Well that helmet seems very familiar to me.
Great pic!

Hello, the hands are very difficult to put on the figure, so by forcing it breaks the shield constantly. How do you do ?
I do like it says in the manual ...

IMO - other than warming hands a lot with hairdryer, as well as pegs, not sure there's much else u can do. IMO just one of those figs u need to futz.

If I recall correctly the shield handles come loose very easily but also aren't too difficult to snap back on. I'm pretty sure on one of them I assemble the loose handle to his hand/arm first, then snapped the shield into place.

 

[DioramaMaker]

I intentionally popped the handles off of mine when I saw how easily the first one came off. It makes it easier to put the shield over the wrist, put the handle in the hand, and then pop the hand on followed by locking the handle into the shield.
