Nathan Drake by Sideshow Collectible

[im8041]

are those holster & straps made of pleather or real leather?

If you're talking about this photo, I'm not sure

Guys, did SS end up changing this figure after the negativity towards its initial release? The reason I ask is because I was watching a few videos today on YouTube and a few people commented saying that they ordered this figurine recently and that its a lot better than the original run and that it doesn't have the awful looking eyes and puffy face. Im not sure if they're being truthful or not to be honest, but thought you guys would know the score.

If the face has been changed/improved, I would be interested in picking it up, but I wouldn't go anywhere near it if it was like the original release.

I've had my Drake figure since sideshow started shipping but I barley posed him. I went to pose yesterday and when I tried adjusting his right arm it had a crunching sound a it rotates. Almost like a ratchet joint. I know it doesn't have ratchet joints so I guess it's getting ready to snap. I doubt sideshow has replacement bodies anymore. Has this happened with anyone else. Thanks

Always fully inspect a figure after you get it, never wait on it. Unfortunately, you're probably SOL.

I figured as much. I'll just keep. Him in the pose he's in. If it brakes I'll search for a new body.

Sometimes buying Sideshow is an American marriage.

it's probably pleather looking at the thickness. oh well save the trouble worrying it will flake one day, would be difficult to replace.

Im pretty sure the joints are ratchet type in the shoulders. Your Drake is good going by the 3 drake bodies ive used before. Most had crunchy sounding click when the shoulder is roated.

Yup, this is true!


There's not a whole lot of the SSC figure left in this build, but I just wanted to share some new pics of my UC 2 Drake with the Kai sculpt. It's not a ringer in the likeness department, but I really like the character/expression that Kai sculpted into it. It's kind of the same scenario with the Kai Joel sculpt.

Completely agree! Great shots too

Okay, so I lied about the December run being the final one... but really this time is the last one

So, I'll be taking a final run of themodifications, with a start date of March first. If you want in you'll need to have your head shipped to me before that date. After this run is done I'll be retiring the service as it's a lot of work and I'd tired of Drake heads

Drake Mods

A WIP of the 3 ones I currently have... mind you there is no weathering or gloss applied to him at this point:

And in case your forgot about it...

[Snake Plissken]

Those are excellent! I still can't get over how bad the stock head is...

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, it makes Snake look like a masterpiece

I had another Nate so I decided to do a battle damaged version, never painted a figure before.

Received my repainted/modded head from galactiboy. My Drake is complete. Thanks again to gb for the amazing paint job.

Amazing work Joseph! Thank you so much. My Drake is complete.
