Art Figures - 1/6 AF-029 Edward Scissorhands

[Gipetto0812]

It's an endurance test as well I spent more time on the wire than I did on the belts.

Same. I actually got the belts on pretty easily. That black wire took quite a long time, however.

Mine came in today from TNS, so I went to work right away on modifying the head to fit on the Hot Toys Body. I am very happy with the results. I like the Hot toys body/outfit a lot better, so I'm happy I was able to do this without much issue...

I opened mine up the other day, took one look at the straps and parts, put it back in its box

I'll tackle it on a calm day

I did the same thing when I recently unboxed a 1/6 horse with a saddle and a bunch of various straps - set it aside and kick the cam down the road.

I wonder why they don’t just assemble these difficult pieces for us at the factory.

 

[Stryker2011]

If the factory did all the work, these things would be even more expensive.

 

[Chopper Face]

Exactly. Saves time which saves costs and prevents workers damaging the materials, leaving all those pleasures for the consumer.

This thing was very affordable though; I really need to get around to opening mine!

It's definitely much easier to start the thigh belts off the figure first. Then, take the boot off and slide the belts up the leg and tighten them up after you get them in the right position.

Just curious, was this $220 from the get-go on OSK or did the price go up after the first batch?

thanks for the tip.

need to unbox still, been dreading opening this figure.

i guess i'm in the minority, i'd rather pay more for the convenience rather than DIY project.

I'm factoring in "opportunity cost."

That's one aspect I prefer about statues - they usually can be popped on the shelf right away (without posing, futzing, etc). I'm a lazy hobbyist.

This was $212 on OSK when it first went up.

Received mine from SugoToys today. Gotta say, what an amazing figure! Really captures the character and Depp’s likeness very well.
Scissors weren’t too tricky to set up, but those leg straps! I’ve achieved one so far and will attempt the other two tomorrow. I found pulling up the “collar” reduces the giraffe neck too.
Overall, really blown away by it. Extremely glad I pre-ordered. Great to see 3rd party companies getting to these classic characters.
Anyway, I’ll post some pics over the weekend when I get to those straps…..
Oh, and if these guys could do a Beetlejuice, that would be amazing.

 

[ebag27]

just ordered mine from TNS

 

[blazio]

Mine Is on the way! Can't wait !

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Well, haven’t got around to the last 2 leg straps, but here’s a few pics. Absolutely love it.

 

[blazio]

Love it!

 

[jamescoolber]

Look forward to receiving mine!

Do you have to analyze the image to figure out where everything goes? I just opened mine quickly and realize there is more to attach myself than I originally thought and don't see any instructions. I'm too tired to try to figure it out now, so I thought I'd just ask those that already have theirs. Is it easy to figure out where the scissors and straps go?

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah, no instructions and assembly is definitely something you dont want to attempt if you’re tired.

I had to go by the pics on the box and other people’s pics on this thread. I needed a magnifying glass app on my phone and tweezers (plus A LOT of patience) to get the job done.

scissors attachments are pretty easy to attach - just refer to the prototype photos.

i would recommend putting on the straps first since the scissor attachments can get loose while you're handling the figure.

straps are a lot more time consuming - took me about an hour but YMMV. the longest one was relatively easy but the 2nd and 3rd took forever. Good luck!
