Still wish HT gave us this as an extra. I like the Yuli one better bit this is still ace...

I wonder if they had planned to, but pulled it and the smiley faces when the pre orders were down.

After debating since yesterday on getting the flame thrower, I think I just bought the last flame thrower from monkey depot 'cause now it says out of stock.

Lov'n this figure. Got the smiley face painted on the body and it just makes the figure. Can't wait to get the guns worked out. Also for anyone that may have gotten a scuff on the lapel pin, the color is Diarylide Yellow from Golden Acrylic. Matches perfect, but does take a few coats to cover.

Quick question. I have an idea about getting the print on the guns of the Comedian but I need to know what it says. I got this image off the net. The text is yellow, is that right? Also is the text just on one side and just smiley on the other?

The text is yellow and you are correct that on one side it has text and the other has just a smiley. The text one one says "To edward blake-with gratitude" and the other "Richard Nixon-1976"

Sweet. Thanks.

Thanks again for the smiley stickers, Raymond!

He just didn't look "right" w/out them.

Sorry, not to de-rail a thread about the figure, but here are the .45's close-up.
White text, around both smileys, 1970:

They were made by DC Direct. Tried searching few online stores, corner store comics have them. Sure others will also

Thanks man!!! I appreciate it. I like the display very much.

Well it was tough but I got the words on the handles. My camera is at my office so Im forced to use my cell phone. You can read the words even though the pic is too soft to tell. Ill try and get better pictures tomorrow.

 

[Raymond F.]

Robbie even im stumped how you managed to pull that off. What did you do?

 

[Raymond F.]

ah is the whole handle a decal? smiley face, black area and words included?

My Comedian shipped today...

Yeah. I bought the white decals. I scanned the gun handle in and resampled the image to 1000dpi. This gave me good enough resolution to read the words when printed. I also created a little die cutter to cut out the handle screws. Its tough to keep the ink from smearing during printing so its hit or miss. But other than that not too bad. I touch up the edged with a little black paint after its mounted. Ill try and get a better picture later.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Raymond I can email you the file if you want to try it. Getting the letters to curve and stuff was a pain and I have all four handles done already so you can print them strait from my files.

My Comedian gets here Monday...

So does Sideshow pay every time we use a smiley post ???

I ask cause of the Hottoys Comedian thing...
