1/6 SSC Snake Plissken Figure

[The Skull]

Good info and pics GB, thanks for sharing

Happy to oblige... and one word of caution, the little tabs for the holsters and ammo pouches are super easy to break off. I think they are separate pieces of plastic so you can glue the back together, but it's not an ideal design and easy to damage

Isn't the Banner body just TTM-19 with bicep swivels?

 

[galactiboy]

Actually I beleive the neck is a bit slimmer than a TTM-19, and it has both the swivel at the bicep and double jointed elbow.

 

[S. Griffin]

Could you (or anyone else) please confirm that about the neck?

 

[EVILFACE]

Just had a chance to open mine up, will have pics up tomorrow with daylight.

First impressions are good. In person the paint looks good. Not hawt toyz, but clean and even. Hair could use some dry brushing, but I'll leave it be.

I like the accessories. The gloss black used on the silencers and radio sucks, but that can be easily repainted.

My outfit is good. The neck on the top is nice and straight with no fraying. pants seem form fitting enough. Any more and they would hinder articulation. Jacket is nice but yea, right off the rack. Need weathered but I won't bother with that. Boots also have a slight forward lean, but some heat should take care of that.

The body is good, about the same range of motion as a TTM19. I like the arm build.

I think is worth the $150 shipped. Use a coupon if you can.

As far as the jacket being too tight, does it has an inner lining? You could try cutting that out. I did it with Indy and it helps.

 

[EVILFACE]

It has a thin lining on the torso part. I don't think it's removal would help much.

What is it about the black gloss that's so bad? Do you plan to still swap the body?

 

[EVILFACE]

For one, it's not needed. Matte/flat would have been fine on the accessories.

The one used is just super glossy and not applied evenly. It looks ok on the shelf, but when you look close at it.....

 

[Snake Plissken]

I see what you mean. Maybe I'll pick up some spares and repaint them. Does the paint work on the radio have a messed up button paint? I remember the photos from eBay, had it painted slightly in the wrong position.

Can you fit all his equipment in his belt pouches?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah, I plan to touch up the paint on mine. It's honestly not terrible. But I think redoing the eye and making the skin tones a bit more varied and adjusting the stubble will help a lot.

Sadly I only took one with the Banner body where he was fully dressed But you can have him smoking now:

Something does look off when you fully remove the shirt, it just doesn't have quite the right proportions to work for a completely shirtless figure IMO, but still a pretty good base body. I think maybe the head sits a bit too high, so w/o the extra layers it looks a bit odd.

And a quick pic using the standard body:

While he's far from perfect, on the shelf he looks really good.

Nice shots G'boy, it does look good on the shelf. It's just that damn eye...

Button is perfect on mine.

 

[Snake Plissken]

That's good at least. Not quite sure on what pose I'm going to give him for the shelf.

 

[space ace]

Received mine last night and gave a quick once over on him-I'm actually very pleased with him-for some reason, he does not photograph all that well-looks much better in hand. My only gripe is that his arm joints are really tight-I was afraid I was going to snap them. He won't stand on his own, so I'll probably heat the boots up and see if that helps. Been waiting for a Snake figure since 1981 and am very happy that I finally have one to put on the shelf. Hope Jack Burton and Mac are in the pipeline.

 

[Snake Plissken]

PCS is supposed to have a MacReady coming out in the future.

Yeah, the arms are where it's the tightest and that's just material. I will say the stitching and construction of the jacket is very good, and even though it's not real leather, it has a nice supple feel to it. My only concern is that the material does feel a bit fragile, so I could see it tearing or being damaged easily. However, it should also weather up very nicely... even with just regular handling it seemed like some of the edges started looking more worn.

Could you (or anyone else) please confirm that about the neck?

I'll check on it later today... I know I had one head that couldn't even fit on a TTM-19, but fit just fine on the Banner body. But, that could be just a fluke

 

[Snake Plissken]

Out for delivery.

 

[juanca33]

I'm looking forward to your first impressions plissken.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'll post them tonight, maybe with some pics.
