1/6 The Batman ‘the drifter’ discussion thread

It looks a fits better without any hair piece. The bald cap provided by Topo for the helmet works best you don't see his hair when he wears the cap and hood.

Being unemployed is perfect for spending time with my figures. Took me a 15 min to futz the hair to my liking, still is not as good as others have accomplished (Riley did a good work with the hair of his headsculpt).

Before

After

Riley's futzing on the hair

Sadly, the dye of the hair transferred to the face, which is annoying because I followed InArt's tutorial on how to handle the hair. Only used a brush with water and tweezers. Also a piece of hair from the back doesn't want to sit along the rest, will probably use some gel to get it to sit properly.

Using some tape to make the hood sit nicely over the bomber jacket, plus some small pieces on each side to give it a sense of weight.

I also got the damn jacket closed. It took me four tries through a whole month but finally did it, probably due to a defect with the teeth on the right. You can see how they detached bellow even after closing. I'm not sure if I want to unzip it as it's going to be a pain in the butt to get it closed again.

Managed to fit the cap on InArt's rooted hair. Did a small cut with some scissors on the back to allow the head to fit it, not sure if it's a good idea to leave the rooted hair under the cap for long. Still happy I accomplished it as I thought I had to get a Hot Toys HS to get that look.

Next step is weathering the figure, specially the pants. If anyone has any recommendation for a good tutorial or what to use, please let me know. After that, I'll try to do a proper photoshoot with a good camera and an extra light source (I'm only using my Iphone XS Max and a desk lamp)

Found this on ebay, looks pretty sweet.
Says it is 3d printed.
Wish a third party company would tackle the drifter bike

Ok so I ordered the TOPO drifter set through one mans hobby, it was supposed to ship in January, now it says delayed to Q2-Q3 2025
It's sold out absolutely everywhere else, even aliexpress.
I've never ordered through one mans hobby, is there any cause for concern or should I be patient and wait haha
Just don't understand if this is a second batch or something because every other place its been delivered already

I really thought OMH was a trustable site but I guess you really cannot count on any other store that isn’t OSK. Not my first time I’ve heard this kind of things from them, sucks.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s not a 2nd run of that set being made.

I definitely would have ordered from OSK if it was still available at the time.
Not saying anything bad about OMH I've also only heard good things but this was a little concerning.
I don't want to wait close to a year just to not receive the set.
I messaged william on fb last week and haven't heard back just wondering if anyone knew anything.

I've been hearing in multiple threads recently bad things about OMH. It sounds like that company/guy has taken a turn for the worse when it comes to fulfilling orders. At this point, you may just want to go ahead and file a claim before it's too late.

Hate it's coming to this but you may be right.
Welp since the topo set seems unavailable now (Unless I pay $300 on ebay), has anyone seen the justina chen/justina studios version?
It looks promising, although not a lot out there, and there is a set for around $160 on ebay
