Not yet.

OSK received their shipment and processing pre-orders.

Mine should hopefully arrive January 2022/February 2022.

 

[Warpig]

Got my invoice from Giantoy today, already have her new sculpt in hand. Few other subtle mods and I hope this will make a passable Scarlett.

Mine arrived today. It’s OK for the price. I hate putting gloves on the hands. They only work on 1 set. Thats a huge fail IMO. I had planned to mod the shotgun into a crossbow but it’s too nice to do that to.

 

[YT74]

I head swapped her straight away and have Beachhead’s crossbow standing in for now. Far from perfect but I think she looks good in the collection.

[Warpig]

She looks good with that sculpt change. Thanks for the pics.

Yeah, looks nice apart from the stock head and lack of a crossbow. Without the yellow bikini deal it gives off a Zero Suit Samus vibe.

Then again how come there have yet to be a proper 1:6 Samus Aras figure in her body suit and amor suit?

If you don't mind the inquiry, how much was it shipped to you?

I've been looking at this. Depending on how difficult the outfit is to remove without destroying too much of it, I'm probably going to put a tbleague body and steampunk sonja head sculpt with it.

 

[Kallor]

Just saw a video (below) and it looks easy to mod so I'm going to grab one.

The video review was fine, but the reviewer annoyed me a bit because of lack of patience in futzing/setting up the figure.

He definitely conveyed valid issues with the figure, but based on personal experience over the years I know whenever I set up any figure I make sure I have the right tools (i.e., tweezers, etc.) for the set up.

 

[Kallor]

Agreed, I think he was too harsh on it since it appears to be very customizable with little difficulty, but his video did show me the various angles I needed to see regarding the blue suit and what the sculpt looked like, so I got what I needed.

 

[DeltaForceChung]

I'm working with a customizer friend to create an appropriate modern 1:6 crossbows and quiver to use with this figure.

Once the final renders and test prints are refined and I receive my finished sets, I'll post/share the link for my friend along with pics.

 

[DeltaForceChung]

As for the rooted hair/ponytail problem, I'm finding a 1:1 scale hair bead that opens where the rooted hair can be done into the ponytail.

My mom used to operate a beauty/hair supply business many years ago and I remember seeing hair beads that would work.

Once I find/source it and apply it to my Scarlett figure, I'll post/share pics.

There are some hair beads businesses in my local area I can check.

I had picked up the same set and went with a GACToys GC042B head. It does look a bit like Taylor Swift, but more importantly has a good natural red hair color already in a ponytail, and a decent expression.

Timewalker has this one in stock if anyone wants the same head:

[screamingmetal]

That does look natural. For some odd reason foreign 1:6 manufacturers have a difficult time making natural looking redheads.
I won't get this Scarlet figure though, I like the more natural muted colors of the original action figure than these bright superhero looking colors.
