i was glad to get mine over a year ago almost two years ago. still a great figure to look at. almost part of me wants to take him outside in the snow for fun.

Cheers guys! I wanted to try to keep my collection to Jabbas Palace and the Cantina but now I gotta at least get a Hoth Luke to go with this dude. He towers over everyone and is so much fun to just look at.

Nice! How was the body suit created? is it sewn along the back?

Thanks guys! Yeah! Seeing how I elongated the arms, I first made sleeves for them and the legs. Then the chest with an open back, attached all pieces and made a velcro strip so I could put it on after padding the body!

 

[LoveMinusZero]

The sleeves are made with velcro? I'm asking as I'm thinking about doing this myself.

 

[Son Of Dengar]

I phrased that incorrectly! The limbs are sewn separately, then sewn to the torso which has a slit down the back and that part has Velcro on it so I could take the suit on and off him as I was padding him up. Lol My bad.

For those of you that have this figure, is this pose possible? From the moment I saw this in a book years ago, I imagined that the Wampa that smacked Luke, stalked up to him in the snow like this.

Yeah dude, it is possible! This is the body I used, and they are not as scarce as they were a few years ago.

[spiderrogue]

[LoveMinusZero]

What's the type of fur you used, Spiderrogue?

 

[spiderrogue]

not sure...GB is the one who bought it at the time...

 

[spiderrogue]

if anyone can find fur and wants a suit, i will sew up any that are needed..just pm me...

 

[generalgrevious]

wonder what happened to GB and who all didn`t get there`s

 

[spiderrogue]

i can get fur for suits, but would need a few people committed to buying them , since fur isnt cheap..

I'm about to start work on mine. I finally got a 1/4 Coo Models body of eBay for $100, which is the cheapest I have found it for. Theres one dude with two accounts on eBay selling the 1/4 body for around $112 on what seems to be a perpetual preorder situation, which made me apprehensive, since I contacted him every couple months to see if any were in stock and they never were, not in a year, so I just waited for another seller to get one, and my patience paid off. The body should be here in the next few days. I'll post pics of the progress, here and in my customs thread. I've never applied "rooted hair" before, so wish me luck!

 

[generalgrevious]

yeah good luck on this project. but still love mine.

What seller was that? I got ripped off by eBay seller lwstore2013 over the purchase of a 1/4 COO models body for a wampa and only just just got my money back (he sent bogus tracking data to my CC company.)

What sucks is I had some momentum on the wampa project - he showed the body as in-stock so I thought I'd have in a few weeks - but going through all of this was time consuming.

Right after I paid he messages me saying it's not actually in-stock but will be in a few weeks - which became a few months, then he sends bogus little envelope and uses that tracking data to show delivery etc etc Bottom line - my Wampa got totally derailed, and will stay that if I can't find another 1/4 body.

Iwstore2013 was who I was repeatedly messaging about when the Coo Models body would actually be in stock, and it never was. He eventually stopped responding to me. Sorry you had to go through all that nonsense.
