Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Funny Man Outfit - Purple Coat Pre Order Started!

This is one of those never ending screen accuracy versus real life accuracy debates - on screen it was darker a lot of the time due to the blue tint of the film, lighting, and various stages of dirty'ness

Personally I think the Kato shirt colours are great, I will darken mine up a little around the collar with some sort of weathering/dirt though, but I won't dye it
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Funny Man Outfit - Purple Coat Pre Order Started!

i actually really like that. what color dye did you use and could you post a more accurate color picture of that shirt? i kinda want to try this out.

It's the denim blue RIT dye. I dipped it for literally a second then pulled it right out. I was afraid of the pattern disappearing. :lol
I'll try to post better pictures soon.



While the dyed shirt looks closer to the darker shade of the original, the pattern on the shirt got subdued, hence it looks blurred/not so good.

EDIT: Just my opinion :wave

The pattern is VERY much still there. You can't judge it by the iphone pic. I can see all the small little patterns and details. Trust me it's there.

It's not just on screen though. It's dark in every single promo/display pic as well. Considerably darker than Kato's shirt.

Ive seen that display costume in person, the darkness is due to how weathered and dirty the shirt is, believe it or not.

Underneath, it looks more like this, and these are the raw shots Kato's shirt colour is based on:

But even in the pics you posted the shirt is considerably darker than Kato's.

I agree with, Devil.

It looks darker in all shots.

Color me blind but am I seeing greyish color on Kato's, while the screen used ones are light blueish?
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Funny Man Outfit - Purple Coat Pre Order Started!

Screen used ones are dark purple and light purple. You see a blue tint though due to the blue tint of the film.

In hand Kato's are not grey at all - basically its more or less these colours:

Anyway yeah it could be a little darker sure, but i'm happy to weather mine to achieve that on the collar of my full suited joker, and on the interrogation setup im gonna leave it as is because it looks close to the shots I posted above from that scene to me.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Funny Man Outfit - Purple Coat Pre Order Started!

Katos shirt, (mine), looks lilac.
Actual costume shirt is lilac, I have some of the fabric.

Could have done with being a little darker but not as blue as the dyed one.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Funny Man Outfit - Purple Coat Pre Order Started!

Here's a quick pic of what it looks like in comparison to the reference shot used.

Could be a taaad darker but generally I think it's pretty close, i'm more than happy with it anyway :D

Ok updated the first post with the latest payments received as well as the order in which they were received.

Only question is - Shortround paid for his first coat a while back, but the 2nd coat just now, doesn't make sense to send his coats in two separate packages so either his 2nd one gets bumped up with his first one, or the first one gets bumped down with the second.

I guess if everyone below him can agree, i'd rather bump his second one up with his first
