Looking to have custom tie for hot toys joker made????

[BillyB]

I did something similar for Les' Joker, but instead of doing a sleeveless shirt, I made the inner jacket without sleeves. It helped keep the bulk out of the arms with everything on, but allows you to pose your Joker in just the shirt and vest.

Also, pm sent regarding shirt.

seeing how maulfan and several others took their hot toys shirts and removed the sleeves for better articulation, would yo b willing to make us some ^^^^s for joker with no sleeves? Also, drop me a PM with the info about the shirt....

Come on BillyB you gotta come through in the clutch we are counting on you. haha....... but seriously

So, I was able to reduce the pattern and ran a test. Turned out really nice. Pattern remains detailed in 1/6th scale.
Now I'll need to put it on the material and see how it turns out. The only thing I don't think I can get is the satin look that most ties have. Most of the silks and satins I've worked with have a big problem with the colors bleeding together so this first round will be going on a cotton blend similar to what I used for the shirts. I'll have the material made up tomorrow and then should have some pics ready to show within a couple of days.
If it turns out as good as the test, I think you will be pleased.

BillyB can you please PM me how to get the shirt and the tie you're working on right now?
I think I want one (the shirt plus the tie)

Just want to note, it wasn't the shirt I removed the sleeves on, it was the sport coat.

Any luck BillyB .......my fingers are crossed

Sorry for the late reply everyone. My internet was down all weekend.
Worked on the tie this weekend. Here are some really crappy shots that I just snapped.
Note, the shirt is the pattern and version I offer with a slight modification to the size and shape of the collar. ( This one was my first attempt)
Second note, this will be an actual tie, not an elastic band version. I still need to work on the knot and shape a little, but this will at least give you a sample of how the pattern turned out.
Last note, if I have not responded to your pm's yet, give me a little time.
With the my computer down, I'm trying to play catch up.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Billyb

Hey quick question for the Joker customizers out there.
Anyone made a cast of the BR Joker head they would be willing to offer/trade? Just shoot me a pm.

Thanks,
BillyB

 

[lerath666]

ok, i want.

 

[KBA]

Wow, that tie came out stellar! The pattern looks excellent. Best 1/6 version of TDK Jokers tie by a long shot imo

 

[BillyB]

The pattern came out really good thanks to the nice hi res image Iforigno supplied.
Now it's trying to tie a tie that's in 1/6th scale

Guess who suggested doing that but never got credit?

 

[casper]

awesome,
can't wait to see some photo with the joker wearing your shirt and tie

 

[agonistes86]

I'm also interested in a shirt/tie combo. How much are you going to sell these for, BillyB? The tie looks great so far.

 

[Reinhardt]

unbelievable work!!! I am definitely in for a combo shirt and tie please! Sending PM now.

 

[lforigno]

turned out great. I already sent payment BillyB

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Simply fantastic! I replied to your PM Billy.
cheers

The Tie pattern came out came out excellent Billy!!!

Very pleased to see... Looking forward to adding one of your finalized ties to my shirt order.

Great great work.

The patern turned out quite nice. Cannot say anything to the tie as we have to see it with the correct knot. But I am definitly in for a set of shirt and tie. I like the idea of a real tie insted of an elastic band...

Oh and is it possible to post a pic of the Joker wearing at least the shirt tie and west when everything is finished?
