1/6 Threezero - Breaking Bad - Heisenberg Collectible Figure

[DioramaMaker]

Thanks everybody, I agree with Diorama Maker, if you take your time futzing this fig it looks great. Nice work.

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Great futzing! Glad my tip about rolling the undershirt has helped someone.
Where did you get the blue crystals from? I've got the baggies and the containers, but no idea what to use for the meth. One container I bought from eBay came filled with blue candy but it's impossible to find here.

It was you! Thank you for that, it was the first thing I did. I made the crystals myself. Sea salt, dyed with blue (and 1 drop of green) food dye, water, and then crushed it down into smaller crystals (once it dried out, spead it on a baking sheet over night, get excess residual water off it too) so it properly scaled. Yeah it's a bit more tedious, BUT you can get the size that looks most realistic. Plus they have translucency still.

What great advise! And so simple once you know how. Thank you very much, DiormaMaker.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, so apologies, but does anyone have the links to bags and containers on Ebay? Any help would be appreciated. I've seen them filled and at a premium, but never empty. Always checking my local Craft Shop too, but they never have them that small. I have a couple I bought with a kit, but would like some more.

Just search for 1" zip bag or ziplock

Glad to help, Anx10us!

I got mine on Amazon, 1000 pack to be precise. $7.99. The catch with these ones is that they are actually a bit smaller than 1"x1", so they scale even better once you cut the excess zip top off. The boxes are called "really useful boxes", and are made in the US and UK. Office Max carries them in the smallest size, what I used, but I've seen the larger ones at Hobby Lobby, so you might be in luck to find the small ones there.

 

[HAL9000.]

Thank you very much for the info. I shall search it all out. I'm in the UK at the moment, but going back to the US soon, so I shall check Hobby Lobby too.

The 1" x 1" bags seem to be easy to find in the US but not UK. The really useful boxes are sold in Hobby Craft, but I've not seen them so small. Any idea the dimensions/size? The smallest I can see that look correct are the "0.14 litre External: 90 x 65 x 55"

 

[DioramaMaker]

You're in luck! The boxes actually are shipped and sold from the company in the UK.

The baggies though, I'm not sure. You might try looking at places that make jewelry. Or even a pharmacist. I couldn't find them in person myself, actually. I had to order them. The smallest I could find in store was a 1.75", and those were too big for sure.

There are dozens of sellers on eBay selling the ziplock bags, including sellers from China and Hong Kong that ship globally - it doesn't matter where you are, there shouldn't be a big issue to get these things from someone.

Thanks, Pixel. Being on Ebay UK, despite setting "Worldwide" it doesn't always show everything. All of the ones I'd seen so far were bigger - 1.25 etc. I hadn't gotten around to checking ebay.com yet, so you have saved me a search. Thank you for that.

*EDIT Now I've just found them in the UK on Ebay FML!

Hobby craft do sell the 0.15l tubs, it's just my local one was sold out, so I'll wait for a restock.

Sorry to be a pain, guys, and thanks once again. + Sorry to hijack the thread too! It wasn't my intention.

No worries. What does and doesn't get listed on eBay's regional sites largely depends on how people have created their auctions, but also 25% voodoo.

I know. One trick I've learned is to look on the ".co.uk" first and if it doesn't show what I want, I then go on the .com. Once I find the correct item, I then replace the ".com" part with a ".co.uk" and I get the price in £ and a shipping estimate to the UK. Stupid that works, but it does - especially for China sellers. ordered a lot of items that way and never had a problem because China generally ship worldwide, just doesn't show on UK Ebay for some reason.

Anyway, ordering the bags and boxes for this bad boy. Gonna look great when Jesse arrives too. I need to go check that thread. . .

I finally got around to opening mine up and taking some photos:

WOW! Brebro, your setup is amazing.

 

[Rambler]

Damn, love the lab set up!

 

[ZsaszSays]

Finally picked mine up. I gotta say I wasnt disappointed at all. Its a great figure, good quality. ThreeZero did great job. The only issue is what has been mentioned before, the feet are huge. And the glasses are pretty bad. But overall its a great bang for your buck. Ill be modding mine and post pictures when Im done.

 

[batmanfan23]

I'm looking to buy the hat and sunglasses from this set if anyone has those parts to sell!

 

[ZsaszSays]

So here's my Heisenberg. I did a lot of mods/changes to the ThreeZero set.

-Swapped body to Hot Toys TTM Narrow Shoulder body
-Fatsuit removed
-Jacket lining/padding removed
-White undershirt replaced with Hot Toys T1000 shirt
-Hands replaced with Hot Toys Tony Stark hands with handmade real gold wedding ring.
-iMINIME glasses
-New pants/belt
-Double Play shoes (painted black)
-Bag of Blue Sky
-Custom handmade environment stand made with genuine pinewood, poplar, Arizona brush and dirt.
