GIMLI Customs...

[King Darkness]

Buuuuuurrrrrrrnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

Screw you Marc

Oh and I scored a "soft" verion too

 

[The Ween]

I didn't get one!

 

[Indiana Fett]

I think they're sold out of the cloaks now.

Ahhh man, what the?! That sucks, I was really hoping to score one there. Anyone know where else I might be able to find one?

 

[thenammagazine]

I have one order, it just got sent to my old address and is still being forwared, ass

Ah, forgot to update that PayPal address? That's one of the most common mistakes I deal with in my business is subscribers who forgot to update their PayPal account with the post-move addy.

 

[King Darkness]

Ah, forgot to update that PayPal address?

I guess, I have ordered over a dozen things with that account and all made it here fine, not sure how my old addy ended up on just that one order.

As silly as it sounds, if you can get a $50 gift certificate cheaply, you could just buy one of the hobbits from Sideshow for the cloak. I'm sure you could probably sell the rest or use them for other things. I was considering that, but then I figured that I'd also want a cloak if I make a Merry or Pippen custom, so I'd need an extra in any case. I don't think there are very many other places parting these figures out.

Got my soft Gimli. I broke the neck post trying to get the head off though.

First impression: Its a bit too small but I think after changing the boots and futzing around it will look good (it must because we've seen pics where it looked right)

I'd go in and delete it. Sometimes ebaY chooses the wrong address and if you don't doublecheck everything during checkout (I rarely do either), they'll put your old addy up there.

Yeah, I deleted it.

I guess its my fault, but I will blame ebay!

F'n EBAY!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

First TB madness, then DiD Gimli madness, now its cloak madness!



I'm just gonna use Frodo's cloak. F- him! He doesn't deserve one...when he got to Mt Doom he turned evil anyway. Failure!

 

[pixletwin]

Frodo = F A I L

 

[Darklord Dave]

For Merry and Pippin, none of the existing sculpts really work to be blown up or reduced. But I will probably undertake a project to get portraits done.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Howes would probably do it, if there's enough of ya.

Someone needs to start a list of those interested to see if you got enough guys.


Here's a comp to see what you got.

I think Frodo's wardrobe works for Merry -- bleach and dye the vest yellow, similar coat just needs to be dyed greenish.

Pippin needs jacket from somewhere else -- maybe DiD -- because the Sam sweater just won't work.

How will you approach your project and would you be willing to let others aboard?

Dave , I could start your fan club!

Just ordered a Hobbit Lothlorien cloak from Toy Anxiety for Gimli.

I almost did the same, but was disappointed with how it looked on him. Far too short, but better than nothing I suppose.

Ha. First things first, fellows.

I'm going to be making most of the clothes from scratch using the Sam/Frodo ones as a starting place for patterns. It's the only way they'll look right , IMO, and not cobbled together. After I get Gimli resculpted, I'm going to tackle the remaining 2 Hobbits.

EDIT: Do you think embossing, printing, or stitching the design into Merry's vest would look best? The real one is quilted but that won't really translate to 1:6 scale.

 

[icruise]

That sounds pretty ambitious. Are you willing to do it for other people? I'm able to dye and cut things, but tailoring is way beyond me.

I was thinking that printing on the vest to simulate the quilting would be the best way to go. Same with Pippin's shirt. I do think that Frodo's coat is close enough to Merry's, if it can be dyed. Merry's shirt has a collar similar to Sam's and Frodo's is close enough to Pippin's.
