Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

[Drake]

Alright maybe they can try actually tattooing the arm lol in all seriousness though I do hope they can find a solution somehow

Unfortunately, from what I understand that isn't viable, as the ink would just bleed and soak into the rubber over time.

Joel and the Clicker are out for delivery today.

4PX/Yodel is a pretty good reason to choose Kit over KGH.

(GianToy was almost as fast, and they have some sort of mysterious arrangement with the UK for deliveries).

 

[Asta]

They arrived this morning, but I started on the third figure that joined them on their journey: Young Rich's Michelle Jones.

I think it was this figure, also from OneSiXthKit, that delayed Joel and the Clicker by a day. MJ was going through the system a day later, and I think Yodel were waiting for her to catch up so they could deliver both parcels together. lol

I didn't buy her for the Spider-Man: Far From Home connection, but rather with The Last of Us in mind. Also because of the Zendaya connection, and due to the relative rarity that it was a figure of a black girl with a body that actually had a matching skin tone.

I had plans to use parts of her to upgrade my kit bashed CC Toys Ellie #3 and #4, since she had dark blue cut-off jeans which would be short enough for Ellie, and a pair of Converse shoes. As it turned out the shoes were quite big, so I ended up using them on Ellie #3, who I imagine as TLOU part 1.5!

Both these Ellies were previously wearing TS Toys' Rowdy trainers, but they never really looked right.

So, Ellie #3 in the middle is wearing MJ's shoes:

(Ellie #4 is wearing MJ's jeans, and the small scale boots that came from DML's Winona).

MJ, the survivor (or Riley if she'd lived:

Spoiler

Looking face on at this sculpt does it no favours, but it has an interesting look for the sides and at three quarters.

 

[Lawrence]

Still don't know what I'm going to do with the Clicker yet. Really odd that they opted to dress it like a fungified Ellie.

I was annoyed at this, before I played the game. I seriously thought this figure was a spoiler for Ellie.

I'm just about ready to open up the CC Toys boxes now that I've finished messing with MJ.

I'll have a look at the Clicker and see what inspiration comes to me. lol

 

[Asta]

I opened the Clicker.

First problem: the oblong base that's supposed to be resting across his legs is missing!

Second problem: he has two duplicate left hands, and no left trigger hand. (Not such a big problem).

So I opened Joel to make sure he was okay, and thought he was until I looked at the guitar. One of the tuning keys is missing, and nowhere to be found in the box so it can't even be glued back on.

Dammit I hope that doesn't happen to me, when I got the part 1 figure bundle last year Joel's angry headsculpt wasn't even in the box and his nameplate for the stand was ellie I ended up having to buy the second headscuplt on ebay to make up for the loss.I was worried that the same issue with that would possibly be prominent with this release,sorry that you're missing a base

I haven't had these sorts of problems with figures in years.

I had two sets of their original Joel and Ellie, and everything was present and correct.

The base wouldn't have been such an issue if it'd been the standard black oval they advertised, but instead it's quite unique.

The missing guitar key is also quite prominent, especially since I was going to use him in the guitar playing pose. However, I think the guitar that came with MT's Ellie is finer, and even has the keys sculpted at different angles which looks pretty realistic.


Still annoying that things aren't as they should be considering the price - especially for the Clicker who doesn't come with anything anyway.

Yeah definitely shouldn't be missing stuff for the price I believe on onesixthoufitters I ended paying $474 for the full pack so here's hoping everything is fine and dandy when mine arrives

 

[Space Jockey]

Yeah, that shouldn't be happening considering how long they've taken to be released.
I see loose parts have started showing up on ebay. Got a spare jacket, shirt and headsculpt so I can make some changes, though on images of the shirts between different sellers, some are with four buttons others six...

Fingers crossed!

 

[Monsterjo5748]

I think when my clicker arrives I'll definitely grunge it up a bit more do some work on the arms and hands to make it look like the whole body is filled with fungus and dirty the clothes up a bit more ill do some weathering as well on Joel and ellie when they arrive and when they do arrive and I've done some work on them I'll post some pics here

Mine has six buttons. There's also bags with extra buttons.

I'm just looking at Joel's sculpt for the first time, and it's really quite good. It doesn't even look like a lot of the in hand images, which must be down to lighting picking out the wrinkles in his face and the depressions under his cheekbones.

In hand, under normal room lighting he looks very naturalistic, not so old or gaunt, and the wrinkles are a lot more subtle than in the promo photos.

Really hard for me to photograph though, as I have to use the flash. I tried a few times from further back but it still didn't depict what my eyes are seeing.

 

[Monsterjo5748]

That's good you always have to put lighting in effect when to know how the headsculpts look

 

[Asta]

Yes.

I meant to add that the sculpt is quite tanned, whereas a lot of photos make it look more pale. Which indicates the effect lighting has on it.

 

[Asta]

On the shirt buttons, I miscounted. It's actually seven because I missed the collar.

I was going to pull the rubber cup out of the head to put blue tack on top it, but it's glued in tight.

You can normally yank them out with pliers, so I'll have to trying heating it up instead.
