Piecing together a Matrix Neo

[agonistes86]

All my shots are also on the advanced TT.

I used a ttl 2.0 for mine, I foudn the arms to be the perfect length, It fits really nicely.

 

[MarfMaster]

I actually used a TT advanced body with TT narrow arms. I like the torso of the advanced more, and the narrow shoulders/arms look more like Keanu's. Granted I don't have the coat, so I'm not sure how the fit will be yet

Seriously? You jacked the advance body and replaced with slimmer arms? That's dedication.

I like the shape of your Neo, Marf, very much. It's the one I have stuck in my head to try to emulate. Not sure I'll go the distance with the arm swap since mine will have the coat on most likely.

Thanks Wor-Gar, that means a lot I'm definitely trying to go the extra mile for this bash! I still want to do some work on the shoulder harness, but I kind of want to see what Stevo comes up with before I put in any more time.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Any word from Stevo?

Any word from Stevo?

Sent him a follow up email today actually, just waiting on a response

 

[Artoo]

Marf, this looks perfect!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hate it when this is on the 3rd page...

Finally bought my Sarah Connor pants and that special shirt from 7toys7 for Neo!

With agonistes' glasses having arrived today I'm on full swing here now. Of course it may take the clothing 3 weeks to get to me.

7toys7 had the pants? ...

Man i'm searching for them so long now but still no luck

 

[noisetrigger]

I think the bought the Sarah Connor costume bundle. I have been searching high and low and a Sarah Connor pants and haven't found any recently. I bought a loading toys secret service pants instead. One of the guy here used it on his Neo and it looks great and tight fitting.

No, the Sarah Connor pants just popped up last night by themselves. I've been looking periodically over the last couple weeks and just got lucky. The pants weren't from 7toys7 though, just the shirt. Some other asian seller was offering the pants (listed under worldwide).

That would be me. Loading toys pants look great...and you don't have to dye or paint them.

LT pants are really too baggy IMO. If you cut the inseam and tighten them they should work. Thats the way it goes with these things when someone gets on board and has a good idea for a custom they all vanish

It took me forever to get the damn Jill Valantine gun for my Leonardo Inception

I held out for the Sarah cargo pants because I do like that tighter look they gave as opposed to the Loading Toys version (or HT Barney Ross) which bag up a bit especially when you get that fitted harness on.

Patience and a pair will appear.

Now, my dilemma continues as to whether to get the TT ADVANCED body or the NARROW body. In theory I would think the narrow body would work better for slim Neo. But several of the pictures guys posted of the Advanced body looked terrific... so I'm torn.

I will eventually get a coat for Neo so it may not make much of a difference in the end.

 

[MarfMaster]

In my humble opinion, a little bit of extra shoulder width, even under a coat, can make a difference. I like the torso sculpt of the advanced a lot more than the narrow, but I do think the shoulders are a bit too wide. That's why I combined the bodies like I did, but if I had to pick one I would go with the advanced, since the superior torso sculpt will show through the tight shirt

 

[Raymond F.]

I just don't understand how that coat can possibly look better on an advanced. It;s just too small which is why it fits poorly on the narrow anyway, the bulkier advanced is supposed to fix this? I don't get it.

Anyways there's no way Neo is that built in the chest or the arms as the Advanced. I had to consider the look all around, with and without coat and was not willing to bulk him up too much,.

 

[toylion]

The Triad coat was made for the Triad body, which is taller and slender. Triad male pants also fit very long on other figures.

 

[MarfMaster]

I agree that the advanced is definitely too bulky all around for Keanu's build. I just think the narrow torso (without modification) looks awkward with the tight shirt, IMO. From straight on the advanced torso doesn't look too bulky, but in the profile it is evident how large the pecks are Now the arms are a different story...they're too massive no matter how you look at them, that's why I used the narrow arms.
