I adjusted the Mr Toys head to work with the hot toys neck. I probably will never use it but it’s nice to have an option with the blood under her eyes. There’s just something that the Mr Toys head lacks in terms of sculpt and paint that is throwing it off. The hot toys sculpt is far superior in likeness and more realistic.

This kinda works too. Though it doesn’t sit very secure on there of course.

Here is the final look. I don’t know if you can see much of a difference but I gave her a trim and her hair is now not touching her shoulders anymore. I could probably have gone even shorter but I’m afraid of going too short.

Really happy with how it turned out. I’ll probably do some final futzing tomorrow and add some hairspray or gel to style it a bit more like the movie.

God damn this is beautiful, it kills me that I am not brave enough to do this.

Okay looks like you'll be starting the commissions list now.
You don't mind doing this 15 more times right?

@niekgrijz you are a very brave individual and i have to say, all the effort and anxiety you have invested have been worth for this beautiful looking result. CONGRATS! I might go the same route...some day

Looks good

Nothin’ yet

 

[OneSixFix]

Play Toys is notorious for delays. I still have faith :-D

 

[niekgrijz]

Can you guys help me decide?

I was putting together some generic villain Alita can fight in my display. Found this cheap robot body. Deciding which head goes best with it but can’t make up my mind.

What do you think? Robo-boy or killer twin?

 

[OneSixFix]

i'd say the bald head, since it makes no sense to let Alita fight herself

 

[Zurdo95D]

So Alita: Battle Angel II is going to purportedly happen!!!

Posting here in case any of you want one.

The only Alita art print I've seen in the past 4 years. Pricier because it's an AP variant but I still bought one. Came out to about $150 shipped to the US.

Man I really hope the sequel happens. It was such an enjoyable and unique movie on its release and set up an even better sequel honestly. I definitely think James Cameron and his team have as much pull as any director in Hollywood right now so hopefully it leads to the result we all want!

To me this is one of those Hot Toys pieces that really shows their high end abilities. She had the rolling eyeball feature that they’re doing on essentially every figure now! Beautiful figure and wonderful movie.

Right on!!

Yeah if I’m not mistaken, Alita was one of the few previous non DX figures to have the rolling eyes feature before it became more prevalent.

Yes these work and are accurate proportions to the hot toys body. And the seamless arms and legs are the only difference. But if you want to use a hot toys head you need to modify the neck for it to work.

The poptoys body has industry standard proportions. On aliexpress there are a lot of unbranded bodies that are half the price that will work just as well and look the exact same.

Really?

I'll use the HS JXTOYS on it.

Thank you.
And so mid bust is ok?
Because for the Poptoys you adviced the small bust?

Mid bust works too. It’s not a big difference. If you want small bust I suggest looking around on aliexpress some more. Im sure they have a small bust option as well.
