The head i used comes with a hat but again, it depends which head you use.
The easiest way is to use a piece of string to get the circumference and measure it off on a ruler/tape measure.

Sorry brother, I saw you asked the same question in another thread and forgot to answer you.
It depends on the outfit a little but I'd say you're perfect with a 6 1/2"-7 1/2". I don't know if your character's outfit or anything else about the belt would change that size but I'll give you an example. For the sheriff Rick Grimes belt I went with a 7 1/2" to go on a TTM18 with Kato's clothes (slightly thinner than some others out there). The old popular option for a Grimes belt came from the Officer Burns figure (not sure if you're familiar) and his belt was 6 1/2". The burns belt on the same figure closed fine and had about a mm of slack that came thru the belt buckle. The Stevo 7 1/2" belt had about 1" that came thru the buckle after being fastened, but that was easily and naturally tucked into the belt loop.
So I guess that's another question; how much slack is ok to tuck into the belt loop or does it not matter?
I have no idea what the ones under 5" would be used for but that's probably not even for 1/6 figs so you definitely don't want those.
just cut some string to 6 1/2", 7" & 7 1/2" and wrap it around the dressed fig to get an idea

Hey Yanouli, where is the holster from? (bgtoys?)
Thanks for all the advice on the belt and hat guys! - Appreciate it!!!

Yes, it's by Battlegear Toys but i bought it from another member here.
It's actually an amalgation of 2 holsters, the belt from WST-H-417-03 and holster from WST-H-418-01, which i think is what they've done for the Iminime figure.

Maybe i'm wrong but i thought someone said before that the rigs were being made by Battlegear and it looks like the one i got from you and which i was going to make myself.
That is correct based on my recollection. Now, does Battlegear make theirs by hand? Don't know.

That's correct, this figure features a modified Battlegear rig. I don't see any issue with it, if iminime "hand-crafted" theirs, there is a chance it wouldn't have turned out as nice (Denny has stated several times that gun holsters are not their forte). Look at Rainman's "hand-crafted" gun rig for example, it's pretty bad.

it looks similar to bg, but maybe i'm wrong, i dont remember anyone saying it actualy was? i thought for the price of the figure, that iminime were making it
For the price I think you're getting a pretty fair deal irrespective of how it's made. But the belt, boots, gun, and head were apparently all contracted out in one fashion or another. If you are looking for a custom work completely made in-house then you may want to look into other artists' work.
BGT is fantastic and their products are top notch. It's a good call imo that the gun rigs are from them.

I don't understand all the fuss.
Who cares who made the individual pieces? What matters is that people poured their hard work and enthusiasm into these pieces and it's ultimately up to Denny/iminime to select the best out there for the best Blondie we've ever seen.
And c'mon qbomb71... a company or a person doesn't always have to release products of equal quality. We all use google for searching... but don't tell me you use Google Plus over Facebook.

Then why not go ahead and have used their boots also?
Your asking me? They should use the BGT ones and scratch those platforms. Not my call or decision.
Don't even know what Google Plus is. I may have to Google it

Just confirming with you that I don't mind them using BGT's gun rig, nor would have minded if they used their boots. Bottom line is this is a great figure, will require a few mods or changes but I can't wait to get it all the same.
