If you don't wanna bother trying to color the vest, you might wanna try this one that I picked up for mine on Evilbay. I just hope it's a good fit when it comes in hopefully next week.

Hey gang! I finally got my vest in from ebay. Those of you that also ordered from the same seller and were wondering, I think the vest is perfect and with some proper futzing around, looks great! It even had some nice extra details that I didn't count on, like the label in the inside of the vest. Even had Det. Mills name on it. Just kidding about that last part. Anyhow, some pics...

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

Can anyone point me in the direction of trying to make these bodies tight?

I have no experience with messing with these (I prefer to just take them out of the box), and am not sure of what to do.

Thanks guys.

Orri~

Here ya go. Or port it over to a narrow TT. That's the best bet for Mills because his bandaged hand fits perfectly on a TT wrist.

When it comes to customs at this price point, unfortunately they probably need some mods, tweaks and upgrades. They're not gonna be perfect out of the box like official releases or higher priced customs.

Yup hot glue is the way to go its the most forgiving in respect to it can be heated up or peeled off to be removed

Those like me who are disgusted with paying 50 bucks for a regular old TrueType these days And want to use what they have can do what I did...

If you unplug the plugs on the nude body on the back and back midsection you can twist the screws And put the plugs back in, chest is now tight!!

Twist the tiny exposed screws on the back of the shoulders... Now tight. Now unplug the forarms from the biceps by yanking, and then yank the forarms from the elbow joint. Then tighten the screws on he joint itself there will be two, right overtop of those screws lay a thin layer of hot glue when you plug everything back it's nice and tight!!
R
Top half all tight! You can use the same method on his knees. Now it's just the hip joints that are loose. No easy way to correct that. It I had a bunch of those overly huge shoulder old true types not bein used so I just ported the bottom half over by unscrewing the lower backs of both. And swapping the top.

All in all took about 30 mins and saved myself like a hundred bucks from ordering new tts.

The body complaining honestly I don't advocate the money went into here production o the sets and it was a fair price better than most unlisenced stuff that comes on junky dragon or buck style bodies.

Why I don't get why there aren more complaints about is the size of mills head. I looks so damn nice and so much like brad but not only is it super small by 1/6 standards next to freeman his head looks like he's about 12 years old by proportion. Literally my only gripe about this great set.

Yup popcultkid you are right, need a little love but there's so much greatness here!,

Fooled around some more with them today the quality of the heads is just insane.

Let me see what I've done with them so far...

1) swapped/tightened the base bodies
2) gave somerset his proper revolver style pistol
3) gave somerset other shoes so they are not wearing the same thing.
4) tightened and shortend simersets tie
5) replaced mills shirt with a colar that made his head look less incredibly small
6) gave mills the blue police vest
7 swapped somersets hands with enterbay j hands also includes a great knife holding one
8) replaced mills pants with hot toys friend. Looks less dragon or sideshow like and accurate to the baggy crappy 90 style pants he wore in that film
9) padded up somerset to give him an old man ponch. Makes all the difference in the word.

Hopefully ill find a more accurate suit to replace somerset but if not I'll live with this.

Looking forward to pics Ray, particularly of the beatles.

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

Nice Ray!! You and I did some similar upgrades. Although I'm not good at shortening ties and stuff, so I will just buy a new black tie for Somerset.

My upgrades:

Mills:
Blue police vest
New shoes
Black socks
HT T 1000 hand cuffs
HT Royce 45.
Potred to a narrow TT
I'm in talks with someone to make a screen acurate gun belt & holster
Still hunting down a watch and braclet that's close enough.

The HT Royce is the cloest gun I found for him. 3 hole trigger, black with white plated handle. I plan on getting the handle painted to look more acurate(the black zebra like pattern) and paint the hammer and chamber cover silver. If you can't find Royce's then HT offered the same 3 hole trigger 45. with a few other characters but you'd have to do more paint work on those to get it accurate

Somerset:

HT Indiana Jones revolver
New shoes
Black socks
Black tie
HT T 1000 hand cuffs
Also custom making an acurate holster & rig
Still hunting a suitable watch
HT Captain America long foot pegs(to keep his height after I port him to a TT)
