Just came to share this. Looks loads better already. Maybe I won't need to do a complete rehair on him afterall. Great job. There's definitely potential here for a solid figure at a fraction of the price the customs or HT/IA were to charge for this guy.

Wow, nice work!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yep, I'd be satisfied with that. Good work.

Night and day difference amazing work! My question is how easy would it be to add the eye area parts?

Gives me hope this figure can be salvaged. Thank you!

Yep a full repaint and messing with the rooted hair does it wonders as expected. Problem is a majority of people don't know how to repaint and won't be able to come close to that. Most will be stuck with the pale pink NECA production quality sculpt.

Just received and photographed with absolute minimal futzing IMHO this figure is so much better than people are saying
it’s actually really very good !
so if you got it on order feel good about it if you didn’t get it, you can either take my word or just go without

You switched out hats though.

Holy moly, what a glow up! I'd love to see that repainted head from a few different angles. Can definitely see Devito in the eyes now.

Amazing work! Why couldn't the factory do this?!? Does he take commissions?

Thank you ptassler for showing those pics, yours are the first photos to show the stock figure with his hair not just left pulled back like a ponytail of an aging rockstar.

It makes a major difference to how the face looks when it is placed correctly around his head.

That repainted and hair work is what I am plan on doing too. The "ink" from his mouth is still the original paint so looks like it was maybe a wash more than a total redo.

Even for a barbie doll head, it has some decent DeVito likeness in it

 

[Godfather1408]

For those of you who have it in hand is there anyway of taking the outfit off/ opening up or is it stitched shut?

 

[Mike86]

Also came to share that repaint. Looks so much better. Maybe it can be saved?

 

[DioramaMaker]

In seeing the side by side posted on the last page, I think one of the big changes is the proto had traditionally glued hair on a resin head, and then in production they went for the barbie-esque soft plastic head with plugged hair.

That's a huge change in materials, going from one that can capture lots of fidelity to something much softer and distortable.

The mods are looking good tho!

Here he is with the coat and gloves, but the hat is horrible. I have to customize it

Can you share a few details on painting the face? i.e. colour, dry brush or wet? Did you also darken the eyes?

All they said was that they dry brushed the paint.
