Otherwise it is very well done. You may find smaller zippers at tinyzippers.com... Personally I am thinking about going with a "reverse" zipper that is hidden a little more, however I havent found these as tiny as the ones from tinyzippers.com... Have to make a test I think. If the size of the zipper bothers you, you can always remove the clip from the zipper. HT did it on their Wolverine and added a small ribbon... Looks allright.

Thanks jsut checked out the site and looked at the pics with the measurements. measured mine they're exactly the same maybe a millimeter off. Its 1/6 so im not gunna get any closer i may go back and try to make it so the fabric folds over the zipper but i don't know the top of the zipper will still be too big so may be a loss cause. maybe ill dremel down the the clip but im content with it so who knows. I maybe making more of these if there interest so that maybe that will be chance to experiment . Who knows!

The shoes are a hughe improvement! I would say this is the way to go! What did you use for filling the holes?

i used wall spackling paste and then i sanded it down and touched it up with paint.

Cool. That was what I was planning as well. Though I did just pick up the same pair that KG used on his. I'll post pics of both when I'm finished and I'll let you all decide. =~)

 

[hhhaney1234]

bad news. Since the Spackle is hard and the crocs are soft plastic when taking on and off the spackle cracks and fell off. Gonna try 2 part epoxy instead.

 

[KingGrayskull]

Sorry to read that.

BTW: The boots I have used to do my crocs arent available anymore. These are as close as can get, maybe even a little better. I have purchased a pair myself too. YOu just need to cut the in shape and paint them wait.

@ myersfarms:

If you are planning on doing casts, I would recommend to use these boots as base. maybe fremel the sole a little. Dont have them in hand yet. The big advantage of a cast would be that the paint would be able to dry. These boots are made of very cheap material. Even if you paint them with high quality paints it wont dry. If you dont know how to cut them, I can do that for you and send you the finished pair.

 

[myersfarms]

Those are the ones I just bought for the project! What are the odds? Seriously though, I bought two pair just in case I mess one pair up. I'll keep everyone posted.

Ok so i'm trying out the DX Cop Joker Head - Modded to fit on the Perseus Body .

This is a WIP - i will change the belt , add the correct name tag , and finally fix the clogs .

Paint will come later -

 

[Maglor]

Looks good so far.

Thanks Brother

 

[Maglor]

Surprised you were able to squeeze the wig over that HS.

yeah it fits better on that head than the Bank Robber head .

The BR head has that mud flap hair for the BR mask' strap to sit

This head is silky smooth


It does fit 100X better

 

[Maglor]

Nice! I would have guessed just the opposite.


A suggestion for the wig: A repaint goes a long way with it. It comes with too high of a gloss.

i already tested out some "rust" and Burnt siena colors . i also have a spray flat clear coat that will give it a dull look , no more shine Thanks for the tip buddy

 

[myersfarms]

Ecko-
I think it looks great. In fact I was planning the same mod myself. Great minds...lol.

 

[spazzy]

looks great! This would sell so well!

Hey Gang-
Just curious, has anyone considered using the Bruce Lee bodies that HT put out for their Nurse Jokers' body? Here is a link to an auction for the type I'm talking about: https://cgi.ebay.com/Hot-Toys-1-6-12-Bruce-Lee-MIS11-Suit-Muscular-Body-/220805848957?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33690ddf7d
I was thinking that they might be easier/cheaper to get than the Perseus bodies and may be even a little more screen/scene accurate seeing as how BL was a skinnier man kind of like the Narrow True Type bodies used for the Joker. Just a thought, please return to your regularly scheduled posting.

 

[KingGrayskull]

Yes, I was thinking about it too, however this wont solve the ugly knee issue but just the arms. BL body + Perseus legs = win.
