Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

I'm all in for a head if the price is right! I have the Messi figure that was sold on Ebay a few years ago, but would love to upgrade it!

Woah! There is one! any pics please? Im already wondering and working on where to get the rest of his kit...

EDIT: I guess yours is the Argentina kit one from Store-rooms

Also Ada Chan did a Messi sculpt and its being sold on ebay with a body attached

heres the unpainted sculpt, looks great, but the painted one looks weird

Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

Thats Messi in full flow

Its the only way to describe him. Its some call and I didn't think I would say it but for me the best player iv ever witnessed play the game!!

Genius!

Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

Never heard of this guy until today and after watching a few clips of him... I am impressed to say the least.

His goals to game ratio reads fairly well too.

Genius!

Ive never seen Maradona play in my lifetime properly (I was 2 years old when he was already set towards his retirement/decline) let alone Pele. The only people Ive seen and rank as greats are Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldo (not the Portuguese one), Zidane, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta, Scholes and Messi

However Messi just made me fall in love with football even more, the way he injects true flair and skill in the stoic modern game is certainly the mark of a genius... he too for me is the best player I've ever witnessed play the game! Hala Messi!

Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

Awesome idea this Defo need to stick him on a hobbit body for authenticity though lol
As much as a genius he is AND one of the greatest footballers who has ever lived, as a Man Utd supporter, the one player/icon I'd ever want in 1/6 scale would be Eric the king Cantona. Facking legend

There are more chances of Becks being made from Man Utd than Contona, because Becks is more marketable popular for figure owners. Being a Barca and Bayern Munich Supporter Id like to see guys like Rivaldo, Effenberg etc guys being made.

Of all the Man Utd players, I only liked Paul Scholes, honestly even the biggest anti-Man Utd chaps like me cant hate that guy. He a role model for any footballer from his conduct, to work ethic to consistency.

Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

Scholes is a genius as is Giggs, Best, Ronaldo etc. Utd have been blessed with some true greats over the decades.
Cantona for me however, was phenomenal. He had an aura about him on the pitch and off. He's a hero of mine
Back to Messi though, can't wait to see how this comes out. I'd like to see the figure in a barca shirt though, as opposed to the Argentina one...

Never seen Best, but yes alongside Scholes, Giggs too comes to mind.
I have talked to Denny about the possibility of tailoring a kit although limited quantity for Messi, he said he'll think about it and hasnt decided

IMO the Bruce Lee HT body is perfect for Messi as its the correct height to scale. so hoping the sculpt is a neckless version. Its going to be quite difficult piecing a kit for this guy together. Unless some of us who do eventually get the sculpt decide to chip in and commission someone for it.

Denny's team can surely make more footballers in the future so I dont think seeing anymore of your or my favourite players in 1/6 is a far off reality!

Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

Denny sent me a WIP pic of the sculpt, however it was too small as it got resized automatically by mistake. I requested him to send me larger pictures or post them here directly.

However from what I saw, the sculpt looked tops!

Will update this post in case he sends me the larger pics on my mail
