What BL head is being used on the right Ahgnus?

It's Kato head with GOD hair piece. I plan on trying other hair pieces as well as I think it is one of the best BL head sculpts.

The camo hoodie + jeans + boots looks GREAT! I'm pretty sure bruce would not be rockin the late 80's one pant leg rolled up look though

The beauty of kit bashes! The possibilities are infinite!

Great job ahgnus and agree about the Kato

I know peeps have been saying it's one of the best BL head sculpts for a bit, but whenever I saw pics of the figure, young BL as Kato kinda looked on the chubby side. The hairpiece swap makes a difference to me

I'm thinking of buying it now.

Or maybe only the head sculpt.

What hairpiece did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Edit: I mean, which 'Game Of Death' figure hairpiece did you use. The 'Behind The Scenes' hairpiece, or one of hairpieces from the older 'Game Of Death' figures?

Larry pick up the Kato set while it's still cheap!

 

[Lawrence]

I was talking to a seller over here, who has Kato on an auction site where I'm at, & the seller can't seem to sell it Maybe that's why I'm not rushing. I checked again & it's still there I think he mentioned something about trading figures, but I didn't really have anything I wanted to trade at the time because I wasn't that interested (I wanted the FoF set ). My mind has changed now & perhaps I will offer him my WotD statue Using a currency calculator, I think I could purchase the figure for a little over $270US (shipping not included)

$270 is high imo Larry seeing 3 of the last 4 on Ebay have sold for $225 or less:

I'd wait personally

 

[Rogerbee]

I was bored. You all know what that means. HERE COMES BL BASH SHOTS! Tee hee~!

The EB smile head, is he wearing HT ETD hair? How easy a job was that?

CHEERS!

It's the shipping from overseas that gets me I reckon pricing would be similiar once I add shipping costs for the Kato figures you linked. But you're looking out, so that's wassup

CHEERS!

It's actually EB ETD hair on the smiley head, and it was as easy as WOTD hair mod...just lots of grinding away with Dremmel. It's trickier to fit hair pieces on the smiley head, because for some unknown reason, EB decided to fully sculpt the ears. It really boggles my mind, because the hair piece on the smiley head is not supposed to be removed, and no one will ever know the difference if they only sculpted the bottom half of the ear. And that is exactly what they did on GOD BD head. Remove the hair piece from the BD head, and you will notice that the ears are only partially sculpted. It really should have been the other way around. I am wondering if EB had originally planned to install the moveable eye system in the smiley head also, because all the slots are already cut out in the head to install the eyeballs. Maybe someday I will mod the smiley head and install moveable eyeballs.

 

[Rogerbee]

Thanks,

It does look good. Maybe, just maybe, the smiley head was never intended for the GOD set. Perhaps it was set for a future release and they decided to include it as HT had included an extra head in their ETD set.

Early pics of Arnie's smiley sculpt showed it with WOTD hair.

CHEERS!

Shipping, shipping, shipping. Always the thorn in our side!

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts...

A boxed HT Bruce in a suit for just under £75 shipped sounds like a steal! I will get a body with a full set of hands, but, unless I do an ETD Bruce wearing it, I don't really want the suit (He wore it, but never fought in it.), or indeed the head! (HT should have done a non PERS ETD head instead of re-using the smiler.)

Questions...

Will EB FOF gear fit a DX body? Ordinary TT feet would fit, but how would they affect the overall balance of the figure?

Things to chew over for sure....

CHEERS!

Off Topic:
Im looking to buy a BL3.5 body and and an ETD verB head to repaint and do customising... any help? YANK and co, you chaps manage to get BL stuffs SO FAST and SO EFFECTIVELY, pls help me out...

Worst come to worst I might have to settle to buy the whole EtD verB figure...

 

[Rogerbee]

It's not OT in this thread!

BL3.5's can be found on eBay still and are relatively inexpensive. The ETD head, that's another story!

This is the only one I've seen, have a stiff drink handy before you read the price:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Enterbay...ltDomain_0&hash=item336977868d#ht_2721wt_1093

Tell me about it! There are replicas of most other old EB heads, just not that one!

You can find the hair though, but you have to mod it before it fits other heads.

CHEERS!

 

[axecutioner18]

Hahaha I know about the The EtD head price blow ups, yeah on ebay people really exaggerate the price on those two. Though Im interested in the EtD verB ONLY... I HAVE to try repaint a figure with that 'wooo' expression... and add my own scars and everything to make it my ultimate EtD

 

[Rogerbee]

I think EB will have something up their sleeves regarding ETD, I sense they're not done with that yet.

CHEERS!

 

[Rogerbee]

Guys, help!

I've seen a pic recently of Bruce in the HT suit with an ETD head instead of the smiler, but, I can't find it now!

Does anyone know the pic I mean!? I'm considering getting the HT Suit figure on Wednesday and was wondering what it looked like with that head on.

If you posted it, please repost it below

CHEERS!

 

[GungFu]

I think I might have posted it - but I found the picture on another forum.... You might want to check through "HT ETD" and the "In Suit" threads The one I remember the most was In Suit dress, HT ETD head and sunglasses with Al Pachino/Scarface...

 

[Rogerbee]

Possibly, I'm sure the one I saw was standing in a collection and had no shades.

I'm looking in the 'In Suit' thread

CHEERS!
