They look better than the concrete ones.

That looks great, LT. Dan!

They look better than the concrete ones.

They are the correct scale and probably lighter. They are a bit "clean", but being resin, they can be filed to roughen them up a bit

That looks great, lt. Dan!

Thanks! I was happy with how it turned out and it fits in my Detolf.

Nice! Always nice to see Scott's V1 as well.

I just stumbled into this thread, is this figure still available for purchase?

I had the brother V2, some custom shirt tie shoes from a customizer here eons ago...
Didn't want to get into custom headsculpt route, and the clothes were crappy, Sold it almost a week after.

this one will do just fine.
I envy those who have the skill to touch up the paint.

Actually a question, when a head is flat, does it need a full repaint or just add some.
There's this one but also the onesithkit Henry Cavill sculpt that I wish were not so flat.

When the paint needs a bit of help its definitely subtle amounts of thinned paint applied that can really help bring the sculpt out. I had some great results doing this recently with the SS Jack Burton instead of a full repaint. I'll definitely be painting this one, but it looks like it needs close to a full repaint, aside from maybe the eyes. I'll see if I can document the steps somehow. I've been a professional model figure builder and painter for 30+ years, so lots of experience in this kind of thing.

Also did some custom display to my Deckard some months ago.

By the way, have the invoice pending on Giantoy for this Dark Toys figure, and I'm still on the fence about it to be honest. Bought mostly for the accessories and eventually the sculpt (if it was at least close to Buffy's), but I'm not totally sold yet.

Nice stands - where did you get the Deckard one?

The stand was done by a local seller in Spain. These were the design options he offered me back then:

That "Rick" stand is outrageous. What are you all going to use? I am trying to find a suitable stand.

Will contact display heroes page on FB that's who does all my stands.

Base/Stand? Not everyone cup of tea, I'm aware of that, but it's my desire to pose Deckard on a custom Police bike. I bought a 2nd Kaneda's bike last year especially for that purpose. Now, all I need is a customizer I can trust and who lives near me to make it real.
If it doesn't work for a Deckard figure, a 2019 policer could be a nice alternative.

Glad the figure is finally shipping. I was really beginning to think TNS were not coming though with this.

Great pic, DinoLast! Other than the subpar paint apps the overall figure looks really good.

I haven't seen a photo that is sharp enough to see if the paint detail sucks or not.

wow is that the DarkToys figure??

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, that's the first I've seen it look good.

I see it needs a couple of buttons on the coat collar.
