BBC Sherlock Custom Figures Thread

Let's just hope it turns out ok. These small bootleg companies don't always get it right. Hopefully casting and stock paintwork won't be unkind to the sculpt.

At least their paintwork is better than Big Chief's:

That is better, but still pretty doll-like IMO

Looks like a Tonner doll.

Is that figure for sure getting released? How long ago was that photo shown?

Forgetting sculpts a moment, what's everyone's feeling about the clothes and body etc? Who did it better? BC or POP?

I'm looking at redoing my Daco Sherlock. I never did pull the trigger on the Pop one, but it's still £105 (at least) and BCS have sherlock on at £150 now.

I've Pop Toys figure, and I think the clothes are way better than BC.. I can take pictures of him, if you want

 

[HAL9000.]

Yeah, that would be cool, cheers. I have the BCS and then I've just got the Daco in a custom suit. Just seeing if it would be worth my while getting that Pop one.

 

[HAL9000.]

C, what does your's look like now after all your futzing? Can we see?

 

[cmiller99]

My Sherlock hasn't really changed since the pictures I posted on page four.

I think I might have taken more photos since then which I never posted though, I'll go digging.


The Pop Toys suit is what I used, and I'm very happy with it. The coat does require some futzing to hang convincingly, but overall it's a sharply tailored, well made suit that ticked most of the boxes that I required. There was a list of mods that I made on the first and second pages of this thread which worked really well for me - the only thing I've added since is a pair of socks.

 

[HAL9000.]

Ah, sorry - I forgot about page 4. I remembered your comments about bands etc.

Here are the other pics:

None are full body shots, I'm afraid, and they're pretty low lit. You can't see a lot.

 

[BLNadal]

Awesome pics!! What gloves are those?

 

[cmiller99]

I took them from my Hot Toys BD police station T-800. They're not all that screen accurate but they'll do.

 

[HAL9000.]

Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

 

[cmiller99]

Thanks, you're welcome.

I ordered and paid for the door and Moriarty last year. They've changed the release date at least 3 times since then, delaying by months at a time. So, my guess is sometime in 2021

Hard to tell from that shot, but I think I like that more than Daco's, which is a relief as his is so expensive this time around.

I hope it looks that great in production.

Any word on release date yet, BLNadal?
