Looking for a good light coloured suit

[Mollins]

As the title said, I'm looking for a good quality suit in a plain light colour, as I need to re-colour it to be green.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on one to pick?

The Hot Toys 2 in 1 Superman/Clark set had a light tan suit but they've gotten difficult to find. Sideshow's Scaramanga had an all white suit though it might be a bit big depending on what base figure you're using.

not sure if its what your looking for..
you can probably get it cheaper than that somewhere too.

I think the scaramanga may be a bit oversized.

The saturday toys suit could be handy though, ta uscmhicks

Any more suggestions?

I guess you want it for the Riddler. As he isnt that buff lol) you should go with a Triad suit (they seem to be quite tight on regular TT body) and use a HT slim body.

How about this one?

Too right he isn't buff

i assume if I were to recolour the pinstripe suit, the pinstripes would remain?

I hope they wouldn't because that'd be a really good suit to use

As they are white I do not think they will remain but if they do I wouldnt mind. Just give it a try. I think it would be the best suit you can get for Riddler. Otherwise order one of Jons great selfmade costumes. They are amazing (look somewhere in the customs section for his thread or use searchengine for riddler custom). His Carrey sculpt is great too.

You can get the HT Prison Break Scofield street clothes version or even the SS Belloq suit, which would be very easy to apply color too (plus it's much easier to get hold of).

Just remember, many 1:6 scale suits will NOT dye. The Saramanga suit for example doesn't. I tried dying it BLACK and it only would go a light, light grey. I don't know what advise to give you since you won't know if a suit will work or not unless you try, but suits aren't the cheapest of 1:6 clothing.

I've got some dye that should work on synthetics at least a wee bit, so would use that to dye, and if it's not satisfactory, I'd waterdown some acrylic paint quite severley and stain the clothes with it

If you end up having to use a dark suit, you could always use some RIT color remover. I did that with a very dark gray jacket that I needed to dye red and it worked great.
