Hot Toys- Bio Hazard 5 Chris Redfield (S.T.A.R.S. ver) spec+pics

[Buttmunch]

Just got my Chris. Now I really want to finish up Brad and Barry to get a nice STARS squad. Come on HT! Make STARS Jill!

Now is it just me or are the straps on the pouches really poorly designed? A Magnet like Sideshow has been using would go a long way. For once Sideshow has something over Hot Toys!

And please don't tell me Asians really call velcro "magic tape" and need instructions on how to use it

still very on the fence about this figure, it would be great to pair him up with my STARS wesker, but I am not yet sold on it. Also does anyone have pics with his jacket thing on?

 

[Buttmunch]

The jacket doesn't go with this figure. Its meant for the BSAA version.

I feel the same way because he was not that built during the STARS days.

I'm digging STARS Chris much more than his BSAA version.

A little off topic, but here is the current WIP of my Brad and Barry customs using a lot of Chris' parts.

One of the biggest hold ups for me right now is coloring the vests. They are of a windbreaker type material so I'm sure they won't dye. The only other idea I've had is to use fabric paint, but I have no idea how well that would work. Any ideas?

Other than that, is just getting the right head/head to work. I got ahold of a Ray Stevenson Punisher head for Barry, but it obviously isn't mean to fit a Comedian body. And the best thing I've come up with for Brad is a T-1000 head.

 

[Biojex]

those look pretty cool as is...even without heads lol. As far as color change, maybe if you bleached em white first and then dye em. I dunno just an idea.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

Real nice so far.

A bit of a bump, but for anyone interested in what Chris looks like on a smaller body, (hated how he looked in the new ones, always preferred his RE1 look), theres some pictures of him on a Wolverine body in my BST thread, and I think he looks a lot better for it.

That looks good. I don't mind the extra bulk of the dutch body on Chris, but I do wish it had the articulation of the Wolvie/Comedian body.

Im curious, are you guys displaying him with the radio or without? Since Chris (or anybody else for that matter) didn't have a radio in RE1.

Since I have no idea how to fix it I can only give the "contact Hot Toys or the person you bought it from ASAP!" answer...really they're usually pretty good with this kind of thing.

I hope things work out!

 

[DEVILMAN]

A friend of mine know someone who can fix Hot toys figs and have replacment bodys and different parts (he sells them) soo my hopes are with him. If he cant help ill try to contact Hot Toys, i am in Mexico soo i am not sure if they can do something xD

Anyways, i am still open for tips guys (since hes not broken)!!!

You should know Dutch/Chris internal skeleton are cast over by the external silicon, with some patience and effort the "skin" should come off easy..... You may need to get the internal forearm out through the wrist hole.. The shoulder/upper arms through the other end. Replace the bendy metal for the elbows.

The "endo" skeleton arm and the skin... The joints..L to R.. ball socket, swivel point (below the metal band, at the darker to lighter interface), bendy metal strip/flat metal for the elbows, lastly the wrist joint.

 

[DEVILMAN]

Ok, this image would help thanks!!!!!

Mmmmmm.....soo the bendy metal is wath joins the arm???? Really??? Isnt.....too....breakable???? Now with this experience i am really worried, i didnt aply any kind of forse or push, i really tougth this figures were more sturdy xD

 

[Odowankenobi]

I got mine recently, and I'm wondering: Is there supposed to be some brownish dirt near the bottom of the sleeves, or does my Chris's shirt need washing?

 

[DEVILMAN]

Mine has the same brownish shadows xD

 

[bandito]

It's weathered (shaded/dry brushed) to not look pristine, to show use or dirtied by a working/action/killing zombies(diseased humans)/rolling in dirt
