A work in progress...

I'm using a body from the Disney Krennic figure...size is good but it needs a little tweaking around the neck, shoulders and foot pegs(cut/bremel)

 

[Wor-Gar]

Nice work. What is the actual height of the figure as its stands now?

I can see now with a narrower body the need to tighten up the jacket in the back.

Yeah that looks pretty good there, except that his arms might be looking a little long. I considered using the Krennic body as well, but the torso joint on mine is just way too loose.

These sculpts are extremely fragile. Mine are no longer photo friendly.

Really?! Wow. That's a shame.

Really?! Wow. That's a shame.

Yup. It?s not a big deal. I?ll get over it. But just handle them carefully. I wonder if toys era is willing to replace them. But damn.

He's about 11.6 inches which i'm happy enough with...but the suit will need a lot of work/re-tailoring. I'm wondering if it's all worth it as maybe another company has a better fitted and more accurate coloured suit already lined up...

Yes the arms will need shortening a tad. The torso was loose on mine too (as were the legs) but it's easy enough to tighten them up. I've had lots of practise over the years on all the awful BCS and SS bodies

That is the question.

How do you tighten up a torso?

 

[davejames]

Was able to use the iron on my suit without any problem. Had it on the polyester setting.

In fact my lapels had a couple faded white dots created by the packaging, and running the iron over them briefly made them disappear.

Was able to use the iron on mine no problem, for anyone needing to do so. Had it on the polyester setting.

Pics of the results?

What exactly does this mean? Paint? Head broke?

Once I'm done taking in the suit I'll post pics.

The gun will fit in a left hand. Just gotta have the fingers grip the trigger and the lower three will hold the gun.

I?m sorry I didn?t see the notification

I don?t know how it happened, as the sculpts weren?t dropped, but on the serious face, there is a slight piece of paint/ sculpt that looks like it came off. So there is a faint, but very noticeable up close spot right above the left brow. You can see it in the pic I posted it you zoom in. The smiling sculpt seems to have a scratch on the bottom of the red make up lip. I don?t know if it was there the whole time, but I tried taking a zoomed in pic and noticed it. Now I can?t unsee it.

Like I said, it had to happen from just handling on the beginning , so when you handle the sculpt, handle it by the hair and not the face.


I?ll get over it, the nick and scratch are only visible if you look at it up close and no what to look for.

I assume Hot Toys won't be doing anything for Joker?

That is the question.

How do you tighten up a torso?

It's usually the ball and socket that's the problem so you need to open it up and slip a piece of felt or leather inside the socket part.
