Thanks for the tightening tips, Ray . I was having a hard time getting the plugs out so I didn't do the chest yet. The shoulders, knees and elbows are a BIG improvement. Definitely a great option for those who don't want to spend that much on a real TT, but IMO even after tightening, they're still not exactly official TT quality. Maybe the new batch of Headplays that I saw on ebay may be better. But the shinny skin tone of the hands takes away from the realism and these bootleg hand pegs aren't compatible with TT. So you loose posing options by not being able to use other types of hands(gripping, etc).

The one thing that I do like about them is the fact that they are a little taller. To me, that makes them look awesome side by side. S is taller than M in the flick so it looks accurate since I put M on a TT. That's the only thing stopping me from porting S to a TT too but I think I'll end up doing it.

And Ray's right about the head. M is really undersized. I compared S to a few other sculpts and if he is oversized, is by VERY little. M's little head is annoying but not enough for me to go ape s__t. Side by side they are SO KILLER!

I watched Se7en again this morning and I'm so pumped on this set! They do need some tweaking and upgrading but when that's done whoever got in on this has a sick, rare set! I'll post pics in a couple of weeks when I'm done sourcing all the upgrades.

I know Iminime is just getting their start, so I hope that some of the few things that are lacking are part of their growing pains. I hope in the future, some things like better holsters, guns and shoes(for example) can be offered at this price point. (I wish they made Somerset's coat around an inch longer, too)

You are right PopCuptKid we are all definitely lucky to own this set. The presentation attention to detail and original Acessories is what makes this great and as you said the community is greatly benefiting from iminime.

I have to say that the set could have not been done any better. I've owned the bootleg HT mills for years and never felt until now like I had se7en figures the photos gloved names and box just help them feel that much more official. I was actually trying to put together a somerset together for years and it was always the vest that tripped me up so I'm so glad Denny included that, I can't stress this enough.

Glad to hear the tightening worked PopCultKid to get the plugs out of the back peirce it with an exacto Knife at an angle and just pull it right out. I agree tightning helps but won't bring it to TrueType level bu with TrueType hands put on there it also helps.

For somerset I'm actually got enterbay Agent J hands on the way. Generally I find TrueType hands too big and enterbay did a great job the palms are actually lighter than the backs authentic to most black skinned people and there are knife holding shaped hands too which make a great display when he's on one knee slicing open the booooooxxx.

Thanks bro, some more good tips. Gotta grab me an exacto today. And I was looking for TTM-10 or advanced hands for Somerset but I'll check out EB's J's hands. Sounds good with the realistic palm color and those are perfect hands for the switch blade.

Iminime definitely is a HUGE asset to this community. I think they can only get better from here!

So i have been thinking about the SECRET PROJECT. Maybe it is another character from this film?
He is clearly missing but maybe i am way off.

I think the secret project was actually Michael Keaton??

But in any case I want John doe super bad...

Apparently that is not the case according to some board members that are in the know.
I guess we just have to wait patiently.

Guess so, why do so many people know Os what I want to know. Defeats the purpose of a secret. I have a pretty good idea through process of elimination.

Like many of the collectors here who love their custom figures, I once again took advantage of the talents of fellow Freaks member Evilface to do my stands for my set. I've just gotten so addicted to his wonderful work on these stand decals, I often look forward to them almost as much as the custom figures themselves!

Blank stands come with official HT TT like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Toys-1...2603?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item51a0a4e71b

There's other options like this with a raised name plaque:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/TA58-21-1-...2645?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item4d035a2ad5

There are different style stands too. Search things like"1/6 figure stand" on eBay.

If you're really a stand guy and want to make them look official, contact EVILFACE. He makes custom lables to go on the base(movie logo, character name, etc).

Thanks guys - those are bad a$$!

Re: SOME AVAILABLE! [iminime] Serial Killer Movie (7) - Detective 'M' & 'S'

Looking at all the pretty pics and writhing in envious agony, I was wondering if the "small-headed syndrome" of Mills couldn't be helped with a (dare I say it) better tailored shirt?
The collar looks awful big on most shots. Maybe with a different shirt the head won't look so small.

Please post more pics guys, these figs are amazing and I so wish I could've afforded a set!

Re: SOME AVAILABLE! [iminime] Serial Killer Movie (7) - Detective 'M' & 'S'

Yup switching othe shirt was the first thing I did and it did help some, not as much as i was hoping but a definite slight improvement

 

[PopCultKid]

Re: SOME AVAILABLE! [iminime] Serial Killer Movie (7) - Detective 'M' & 'S'

That was another improvement for mine by switching the body to a TT. The whole sculpt sits a bit higher on a TT so more of his neck is exposed. This helps improve the look by not appearing so neckless, but doesn't much help the size of the sculpt itself. It's just undersized and nothing can really change that. Still looks awesome though.

But I can't say I don't wish that Iminime would re-do the sculpt bigger, and offer it to their VIP's. I'd definitely use one of my sculpt slots on that.

Re: SOME AVAILABLE! [iminime] Serial Killer Movie (7) - Detective 'M' & 'S'

Question for you guys who received your figures.

I was looking to switch heads on the Somerset figure from the currently attached hat-free head, to the cooler head with the hat.

So, I popped off the head which had an attachment stuck to it. This would be the piece that connects to the ball joint in the neck.

Problem is, I can't get that attachment off. I'm assuming that it's glued.

So, how are you guys dealing with this problem? I'm not sure why we would have one head with an attachment permanently affixed to it, and another head with nothing attached at all...

Suggestions for a noob are most welcome.

Re: SOME AVAILABLE! [iminime] Serial Killer Movie (7) - Detective 'M' & 'S'

Seems like both would have a neck attachment, or that neither would be glued. Seems like you're gonna have to get a neck joint and mod it yourself. Is the head drilled so you could insert a neck plug?

Yes exactly it's quite simple just get a TT neck adapter and glue it to the hatted head. This is the least complicated fix to the set. If you don't have a spare TrueType laying around just get a loose adapter from toy anxiety they are about 4 bucks.
