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

As a buyer I shouldnt have to specify I don't want recasted items! There entire website claims everything is 100% original when it is clearly not. How about being honest on there listings and saying right from the start these are not the real deal buy at own risk. Terrible seller with a terrible attitude chances are most of the figures you have purchased from storerooms are recasts you just havent realised it yet. Not the whole figure but elements certainly will be. Also to claim there recast work is of a high quality is a joke what I recieved was made from very brittle plastic and looked like it had been painted by a child. I don't know about you but theres no place in my collection for substandard recasted parts.

I was referring when they sell spare parts..with no brand name..i have never got problem with them, maybe I like to them ...anyway I am sorry for you but I am waiting for another purchase from them ...the black shirt for my custom neo...

back on track....... i got to see these in hand for the first time today, and i gotta say MIGHTY impressed! i would recommend buying better shirt ,shoes and hands if you have these, but these are tedious quibbles, about an extraordinary set of figures

speaking of mods fellas, i just did the Mills to Slim TT swap I've been considering for a few weeks. Ray and I usually consult and bounce ideas off each other when it comes to mods, we usually end up with identical mods on each our figures, and this was one we talked about. We all know how small the head is, and this is always the logical choice to fix that problem, but it does present a problem with how the outfit will look. Ive got him half suited up and its a HUGE improvment. Ill get some pics out to show you guys ASAP

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

apologies for the photo quality, really not my strong suit in life haha, but I think you guys can see the better proportions. I used a slim body with normal legs to fill out the pants, but I still plan to swap the pants out regardless.

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

quick shot of mine before any kind of modding. still want to add socks to mills and get a vest. found one at store-rooms but they refuse to ship to the UK!! apparently we're all thieves and villains.

I like how you posed Mills. I was thinking about posing mine similar. Last time I watched the movie I kept noticing he fiddles with his hair a lot.

Proportions look much improved here

Yup we worked back and forth yesterday and landed on a new recipe because i told him the neck was too long there...

The final ended up being a total Frankenstein but it improves things beyond belief, his head looks almost in proportion now...

- Red Skull from the waist up (Red skull is a thin body with narrow shoulders and biceps)
- narrow shoulder TT from the waist down
- original imimime forearms (this is so his peg system can still work)
- finally the red skull neck ball was replaced with a regular normal shoulder neck plug. this is because it made the head sit much too high like in the above photos. Now it's perfect but it does hinder the side to side movement because of the shoulder joint interception (does this a bit on red skull too though)

Coupled with a new shirt and pants and an added police vest for good measure we are really in business now!

That's nuts but well worth it it seems

Anyone have an extra vest for Mills they wouldn't mind selling?

incredible!!

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

Can anyone recommend a good holster to switch the standard ones out for? Something similar to the onscreen version would be cool, but I really just want something that doesn't feel like its going to break anytime I barely move it.

I'm planing on getting custom rigs done for both of the boys. I'm sending over screen shots to the customizer after the weekend and I'll have all the info like prices, availability and lead time soon. If any one is interested let me know so maybe it could get cheaper for all of us if we pool together a decent sized order.

I'm down for that. I take it you already have some good reference shots? Keep me updated and let me know if you need anything. I was trying to watch the movie this morning to try to get an idea of what they look like but my 3 year old daughter kept coming into the room and the wife said I can't let her watch it until she's 4.

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

Yea I have all of the details and a good screencap site to get the right shots. Just haven't done it yet because it's a lot to sort through. I'll post pics here after a get the best caps and highlight them, within the next couple of days. If it sounds like something some of you dudes are into, then we could group up and see what can be done.

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

Cool. I'll keep an eye out too.

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

Alright so here's a heavy dose of fanatical accuracy research LOL.
I actually have a lot more reference shots but I'm keeping this as short and sweet as possible.


MILLS' RIG:


-All black leather
-Off centered figure 8 style
-Horizontally mounted open holster on his left side (he's a righty)
-Rig connects to his pants belt on both sides



***I'm having a hard time figuring out what the other leather case is under his right arm is. I'm almost positive it's not spare gun. I'm thinking it's for his hand cuffs.

SOMERSET'S RIG:

-Vertically mounted closed holster on his right side(his a lefty)
-3 different colors for 3 different components.

- sling that goes around his left arm is off-white
- half circle portion that sits on his right shoulder is beige
- (everything under is right arm) holster that connects to
top beige portion is medium brown leather

-Brown leather holster part or the rig connects to pants belt

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

I'm waiting to hear back on how long it would take, how much it would be, and how many he can do.

If anyone want's to take a walk down this dark twisted road of being an obsessive accuracy whore with me, let me know.

I'm doing all of the work as far as getting the pics together and figuring out with the customizer how to make it work and look right. If you want a rig(s) that will be as screen accurate as possible, feel free to jump in.
