Castings came in today. Did some body trials so you could see how they would look.
Check out these pictures. They look even better in hand, because they are so full of
detail that doesn't always get picked up in the pictures.

Regular full neck white resin castings

These came in about 1.5 mm to long(as they always do). I went ahead and made the adjustments, so they look perfect
and fit perfect on a Hot Toys short peg. No griaffe neck here :lol:

Flesh tone resin no neck casting

Now these are made to fit the Hot Toys long neck peg perfectly.
They also fit very nice on the Perseus body neck(as pictured below)

Now a body trial I did.

The Wolverine & Comedian bodies are great, but the necks are 1 to 2 mm wider than the other HT bodies.
So you have to take out the clear hard plastic peg holder inside the neck. Then grind or sand it
down to get those 1-2 mm off and you'll be able to use it for these heads. I also dremeled the
rubber part down a little on my Comedian body, still a little high, but that's
an easier adjustment than the width. I still have plenty of room to drill it out deeper and make it sit down
on the neck more.. So it is possible to use either of those bodies if you have them. It will just take some
extra work. The Perseus body has the best fit with little modification for the no neck, but remember, you have
to switch out the legs if you want to use normal HT parts on them. Otherwise, you have to
do some mods to make the feet area work. The no neck sculpt also had a lip running along the chin that
made it look like a small double chin, so I went ahead and fixed that as
well, as I will on all of them. So it will take another day or 2 for all the fixes to be done,
but they will be perfect when you get them.
The Arnold & Chris RE bodies, I didn't bother with, because they're to big and the neck
looks bigger. So you're on your own on those... :D

Well that's it for now. Got 30 more heads to clean up and the tattoo stencils came today too, so I'll
be having lots of fun with that. It will be another 24 hours before I start listing the heads. I will
update the thread and add a sales thread as well.

My ebay store: One_sixth_global.

Let me know what you think.

First back tatt test spray. Keep in mind, this is fresh and
I have not cleaned or touched it up yet. I think I also
sprayed a bit heavy, there was a little bleeding. There
are still little details of the tatt that are not on there yet
that I will do freehand. Overall, I am very pleased.

What do you think. Here's a picture with it
next to the real thing.

this project is really coming together & looking good. great work.
 
As noted throughout the thread I said I give some warning before
I started listing the extra heads. Well, here it is....

I will be listing 3 types of heads on my eBay store: One_Sixth_Global
ONE SIXTH GLOBAL items - Get great deals on Hot Toys, DOLLAR STORE 1.00 or less items on eBay Stores!
I'm starting to list some of those heads tomorrow 8-14-10, around noon MST.
Nothing personal, but everybody keep in mind, certain countries will be blocked to help slow down recasters from getting their hands on them.

There will be the following.........
1) 5 regular white resin versions with neck(HT short peg ready)
2) 5 regular white resin versions with neck(standard Dragon neck peg ready)
3)10 flesh tone no neck versions (HT long neck joint ready)

#3 is not guaranteed to fit other HT bodies without modifications. Though it
may come close on some, It is only ready to exactly fit HT long neck joint.

After that, I will list 10 to 15 more in the same type of format.
There will be no direct sales, because there is more demand than the
amount of heads that will be available. Doing this is the only fair way to
make sure people get a fair shot at the heads.


I will also add a sales thread.

Thanks
Ike.

Thanks for all the interest, links good after 12 noon today.
 
Just wanted to share some pics of Daniels awesome
paint app on the new Van Zan head. Just a little taste
of what to expect out of this great sculpt.

Here's some updated pictures of some of the Accessories that
will come with some if not all the Van Zan full figures.
Including the final crossbow, arrow, dragons tooth and others.
Still have some final paint & weathering to do on a few things, other than that
these are all ready.

Lots of thanks goes out to AJ (Witekite) for helping me finish
the accessories. He did the c-4 arrow head, Dragons tooth, Flask
and St Patricks medal. Yes Van Zan did wear a St Patricks medal...
kind of an ironic (drive the snakes out of Ireland = Drives the Dragons
out of the United Kingdom) metaphor if you will.

Heads are at the painters. Once I get them back I will start final
assembly on the Special Edtion and 2 others figures right away. Then the
final 2 the week after. The Special Edition is going to blow your mind..:explode:

Wow, just unreal!! What types of bodies are being offered for the full version? Muscle bodies (like Comedian or Wolverine), or regular truetypes. My preference is the muscle body.

The Special Edition is on a customized HT Comedian body.
It has the Perseus legs, which fill out the pants and look
more natural. This thing looks amazing.

I will also be doing at least 1 maybe 2 on with a HT Perseus body, because the arms look perfect for the arm tatts.

Both the Special Edition & ones on Perseus bodies will cost a little
more because the bodies cost more.

The regular versions will be on HT TT or Triad EVO.

So tere will be 3 price points for full figures?

1) One Special edition
2) Two with Persious bodies
3) The basic bodies


The regular versions will be on HT TT or Triad EVO.


Didn't the triad have better arms for this because of having no cut bicep?

Yeah, but we won't be getting the EVO most likely until the
second week of Sep. So I am doing at least one on a HT TT
because it still looks good on it. (pictured right)

If I had my choice I would do them all on the Perseus, the arms are perfect...check out the gun show....:lol.

The neck looks to be lacking on the Perseus body, not sure if it's a futzing issue or not. Shaping up nicely though!

I think the neck is more natural like this. Based on all the screen shots
I have, he looks just like that. You almost never see his neck much until
he takes off his vest in the fight sceen and at the end.

I think it's because of the army shemagh he has around his neck,
but that's how he is most of the movie, so that's why he's presented
this way.
