Awesome. Are you going to use the DX15 serious sculpt on your other Artisan? Is the neck going to color match?

Asking cause I’d like to potentially do this too

So has anyone figured out a way to make the hat sit down on his head yet?

Mine sort of stays if I push it down all the way, but it covers too much of the brow area. It's just going to vary because these aren't sculpted molds.

I just use my DX15 hat because this new just sucks all around in shape and size. Tried DX06 but it's too small and don't want to force it and mess up the hair.

Also just realizing that the sculpted version isn't even a new mold for the hair, it's literally the exact same as DX15 but with wool hair and slightly different paint.

I just got a notice that I could buy the Jack Sparrow Deluxe but I'm also on the waitlist for the Artisan one I'm not sure if I should hold off and try to get the waitlisted artisan because I love Jack Sparrow and I'm leaning on waiting for the Artisan I know it's not guaranteed though.

If you’re willing to wait out the chance you get a conversion on the Artisan version I would. For now the deluxe is still available through some other retailers like BBTS. I think it wouldn’t be too hard to pick it up down the line if you don’t get the Artisan.

Do you have photos of the Rzeznikk's version?

Here's some recent pics of my custom

DX38 Is being parted out at Toyanxiety.com
Picked up another Treasure chest.

I just got the two belts, coat, wheel with base and the heads, prices were much lower than I expected.

I’ve been adjusting the outfit. I removed the crocodile belt (it didn’t look great) and moved the white/red band down so that it's mostly hidden by the two belts. By default, the band sits really high up on the stomach, and an inch of it is visible when the crocodile belt is removed.

I’m aiming to get it closer to the picture below, even if it’s not an exact match. I just feel like the front of the stock figure is too busy, there’s way too much going on there. Next steps are adding the trinkets and gun, and I’ll likely tweak the pants to make them more tucked into the boots.

Yeah it's way too busy in the later films. DMC/AWE had a perfect balance.

I plan to get rid of the crocodile belt on mine when I get it as well. I'll probably have to do a complete redress of the figure because I'll swap out the vest for the DX15 with the real buttons.

Are the boots the only thing that is genuine leather? Or did they say the belts are too this time?

 

[HyperDrive]

See this is great and all, but the vest should be different, no? It’s solid blue and doesn’t have all that embroidery.

And most importantly, are you planning to keep the same sculpt? He doesn’t have the ‘x’ tattoo and the hair is different if you’re going for an original trilogy look.

It's work, but I highly recommend breaking the belts down and redoing the sash.

For my Jack, took off all the belts and removed the sash, soaked it in water, squeezed out the excess water, balled it up, and wrapped it in elastics for like a day. This helps to add wrinkling and make it look more worn.

To tie it back on Jack, I followed the same steps from this tutorial that I used to tie my sash for my wedding.



You might have to try a couple times to get the right look you're happy with, but the results are great.

Doing this does mean that the magnets in the sash won't line up, but that's fine, you want a more natural look the the hang over the scabbard and belts anyway. I just slip a dime inside and it gives just enough weight to make it hang and look nice.

You also want the two ends hanging down from the belt to be different lengths, one is longer than the other.

Adding stiffen quik to the sash after water treating it and futzing will help hold that natural drape. No magnets needed.

the boots ironically aren't leather they are the same as Dx15 it's like a fabric material. The two belts and chest belt for the sword are leather though.

Oh weird. I thought they said the boots were leather?

 

[Rzeznikk]

I just went to check. Weird so they say they are real leather too...

He could probably do it as OST since that's the last time we see him with both belts.

Oh this video is great. The sash was bothering me with how flat it looked but I figured there wouldn’t really be a good way to make it look more natural without some modification. I’ll see what I can do following that video. Appreciate it!

I don’t care for it to be 100% accurate. The vest, as you said, would need to be completely different and that’s just not doable. I’m just using the photo as a general reference to get the figure down to a cleaner and simpler look. Stock figure is just too busy. The x tattoo on the face doesn’t bother me either.

I’m viewing the figure as a general one all be all Jack Sparrow. Not really tied to a specific look that needs to be fully accurate.

I was gonna pick up the DX15 vest but to be honest, you really don’t see the buttons much at all once the jacket and sculpt is on the body. I did pick up the rum bottle and diecast sword though.

Yeah I thought that was weird for them to claim that when they are the same material boots from before. If it was real leather they'd be suade leather but that tends to look thick in 1/6th.

Glad I didn't waste picking up new boots to get "leather" ones. I actually put DX06 boots on my figure, the DX15 material is too stiff and I couldn't get them to look how I wanted, always liked the DX06 boots though.
