I checked on your yahoo groups and saw that its a full sleeve jersey.
Since I didnt provide any reference of the full sleeve jersey of 2010-11 season that he wears in the previous posts (All i gave were the standard half sleeved ones)
Here is the full sleeved version he wore:

How big will the Kit and shorts be?Also,anyone know what options there are out there of smaller bodies?Sideshow's hobbits would be exaggerating a bit haha.

Last I heard from him, he would be using the yet publicly unreleases ZCWO 'slim' body whichs height is pretty much comparable to the HT slim which makes it as short as the HT Bruce Lee body which I think is correct 1/6 scale for Messi's height. Also as the jersey is going to be full sleeved and Messi's socks are really long so minimal joints will show... So I think if Denny's guys can get the kit spot on, itll be a phenomenal release!

Here is a pic of their Caucasian Slim Body, its pretty good size wise for Messi IMO

Hi, as I explained, Messi head is rather big to put on Slim body.
It's better to use normal hottoys body or narrow shoulder body.

Our fullset will be normal body which is a bit wider than narrow shoulder body.
With this, it looks fine.

Thank you

Denny

So Guess you guys will be using the Caucasian True Type Advanced body. Messi is kinda stocky now days, but maybe not that stocy... ah well, maybe Ill switch out the legs with the Bruce Lee body I have. Or maybe cut down the body at the ankle/shins etc etc and also shave out the arms a bit to toe out the muscularity.

In anycase since its a one of a kind figure, I would realy be displaying it in the same shelf as my other 1/6th movie based character. Itll be in my living room like an art piece in its own vinyl display box...

wow very nice!

 

[denny kim]

hi~ photos will be taken Sunday evening, so I can update photos Monday.

Thanks

Denny

 

[axecutioner18]

Great News Denny! Cant wait for the pics!

Im sure its going to be epic!

 

[axecutioner18]

By the way I just thought of something which might be a cool addition to the figure, but Messi has an official and unique logo (designed by Adidas probably). Maybe you guys can put it on the cover of the fullset box or the Certificate.

Here they are in two different background colours of black and white

Also for the costume in case you need larger pictuyres for the details and stickers here are some of them:

The Champions League shirt patch (as on the right sleeve of jersey)

The TV3 patch on the sleeve:

Finally what the full sleeve shirt should look like:

In case you need more references, please dont hesitate to ask!

Hi Guys,

[notice]
Please note that the material of the uniform may be changed to more thin one as the sample uniform looks a bit thick.

 

[intothevoid]

Awesome!

That ball looks too small though?

 

[Rock83]

Looks great,but yes the material looks too thick.It's like any jersey,a more smooth look to it.

 

[carbo-fation]

Looks good. Don't see much of Messi in the sculpt and the ball is too small.

 

[axecutioner18]

Honestly, Im a little disappointed

The clothing HAS to be much much thinner, I was thinking it would be of much better quality as the fittings look wierd.

Also I think a Narrow Shoulder True type should be used as the fittings for this... the shoulders of Messi look like Arnold Schwarzenegger at his peak during Mr. Olympia.

Dont want to sound too grim, but yes, I am a tad bit disappointed...

Please see what you can do about the clothing Denny, its the only thing thats bothersome about this potentially amazing figure...

 

[denny kim]

hi~
RE : Uniform

As I said, the material will be changed to thin one~ will show you early March(Maybe) again.

Re : Body

I will try to find narrow hottoys body which is not easy to buy and the cost is more expensive~
To make the good price, I used the normal body but it looks big, yes.
But if the uniform's material is changed, it looks a bit better.

if we changed the body to Narrow body, the price will be raised as in this set.

I will let you know again tomorrow~~

Re : Ball

Yes, it's too small, this is taken from a existing figure accessory.
We are trying to set up very reasonable price, so that's the main reason.
To make the ball and do some custom painting will raise the price more.

I will also set up this option for people who want custom ball.

THanks

hi, I found some body which is narrow shoulder body, so~~I will perhaps set up with this body~(it will be a little bit more expensive)

also, I will set up an option for custom ball.(we need to make it and paint it) it will be costing some amount too.

Thanks

Denny

Great to hear you will be working out to make the figure better..

Re: Body
Because of the head size, a narrow shoulder figure will look and fit better, also In case you dont want to raise prices, you can scrap the idea of selling a body with the figure. Make it maybe just the painted head and clothing set.
Collectors here and everywhere can easily get a Narrow TT or equivalent

Clothing:
The actual Jersey material is very thin but not transparent. I found a picture of how it falls on his body

So you can see its just thinner material and tailored to his proportions... the current jersey is too thick AND not tailored to his measurements much. Probably A Narrow TT measurements will make it look better. Also one thing, the red colour one the current jersey has to be on the darker side. more maroon than red.

Ball:
I dont think most collectors are concerned with the ball as much as the figure (personally Im not) A 1:6th Ball can easily be found in shops as a small rubber ball that children play with, can easily be repainted to look like a Champions League ball.

If you do want to sculpt something new Id say sculpt the Ballon D'Or Trophy which he won 3 times! Its the same size of sculpting a new Ball and honestly is a better accessory than a ball

Honestly its my dream figure and I dont care about pricing. I am willing to pay whatever it takes to make this the best Messi figure out there... ever made!
