Definitly an awesome sculpt.
Waiting on batch 2 ^^
BTW save for those spirit shoes any idea of an easy available alternative for replacement?

I too was trying for those Spirit sneakers, but had no luck...so I found something close to the Adidas Ford wore in the film on eBay...these are by 3A...should get them in the mail by ends week and paint them up black and hopefully it all works out
Success! 
Sneakers arrived today in the mail...applied a few coat of black paint and did a terrible attempt to paint some water effect on toes of sneakers
But all in all they look great on body...I was worried 3A shoes would be a bit on the big side. I've seen this sneakers pop up on eBay once in awhile...a lot more frequent than the Spirit sneakers...so keep an eye out if your still in search of sneakers.

Perfect!
Found some but the shipping cost is prohibitive

just got mine this weekend,
after seeing pajji's above was considering getting the bbkill sculpt, but found the battle damage sculpt exceeded my expectations and now i kinda like it, so am in two minds.
Gives me an excuse to watch the film again though

Anyone have any tips for the best neck peg for the bbkill sculpt on the brother production body?

yep... throw the body in the garbage and put it on a TT..
LOL, yeah paid to much to junk it though...
I bought a hot toys neck joint that seems fit fine, though I'm not happy enough with my paint job to attach it to the head sculpt yet....
This is where I am with my BBkill Deckard sculpt, not just right yet, but getting there...

Yup...mine is on a TT as well...threw that BP body right back in the box

Finally finished repainting my Deckard sculpt, had to strip the first attempt off and start from scratch again but I think I got as close to the skin tone I wanted as I'm capable of.

Thanks guys, just need to get him his own stand, a decent pair of shoes and maybe replace the body with a true type.
What body will people be using for this figure to replace the standard?
Also does he wear sort Adidas training shoes?

Blade Runner shoes were a pair of Adidas officials... I think they were official referee shoes at one time...
For the film the wore them down a lot...

Those shoes may be a bit big, as they are from the DC Direct figures, which were actually around 13" tall.
I'm sure somebody mentioned the spirit figure on here?

Finally got a chance to open mine since my wife held on to it for my birthday.
Overall it looks pretty good. The sculpt doesn't look much like him but it's a nicely produced and painted sculpt. The quality and colors are nice. Outfit is okay--a little ill fitting and the overcoat is way big. But with some futzing it can look decent.
I did have a problem right off the bat, though. When I first got it a few months ago my wife let me get a quick inspection to make sure everything was there and nothing was broken. I did notice that the left arm bicep joint was stuck. But no biggie, I thought. I'll take care of that when I open it in December. Well, the first thing I did was check that joint, of course. I stripped him down so I could get a good handle on the arm. I very slowly, carefully and gently twisted it and it gave way. But by the time I was halfway through putting his shirt back on, the arm had fallen off at the joint. Seems that I actually twisted the peg clean off. I really didn't feel that much force when I moved it. It honestly felt like it was the swivel joint.
Anyway, I had always planned on changing the body. This just moved up my time schedule.
He's on a TT now and looks pretty good. Glad I was able to snag him for $150 even though I grumbled at the price hike from the pre-order price. Especially since he's now going for $200+!
