Piecing together a Matrix Neo

[IKE-CON]

i just went through this entire thread page by page and decided to make a Neo of my own.

I already ordered...

Headplay Headsculpt
2.5 Coat
Boots (the custom ones you guys were talking about)
Body (https://www.ebay.com/itm/280834211679?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)

I need some input though on a few parts...

The Sarah Conner pants dont seem like a viable option anymore so what is a good alternative? I'm not too too worried about the pockets being there or not but i do want them to fit nicely.

What glasses are the best to get?
What's the best undershirt these days?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After working with the 2.5 coat, I find the sleeves are to tight.
If you're going to use it you'll need to have them taken apart and
opened up a bit and then put back on.

However, I did find the Black shirt that comes with Triad Black Bullet Ballet outfit works out really well for a Neo shirt.
The sleeves are a little long, but an easy fix.
I'll take some pictures and post them later. If you like it I may have some extras I'll throw in my ebay store.

Also, the pants that comes with Art Figures "save" figure, work out
as well. You can find them parted out on ebay every now and then
and also some other online stores.

i actually got the 2.5 and i have no issue with the sleeves. The bottom however, was too long and way too big. I cut out a good amount in width and length and added the wire. Now it looks damn near perfect! I will have pictures up soon once I get my harness and sun glasses!

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

I got the Sarah Connor pants and am fairly happy with those, although they are very snug around the waist.

As for the shirt, I look forward to seeing your pics!

Cool thanks for the Info Lion!!

agonistes86 made those. I know he made about 10 and was working on another set of 10, but don't know if he ever had the time to finish as he's very busy, I believe with school.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Last he told me, he might start up again soon

 

[agonistes86]

where did you get thous glasses?? thye look very cool

Yeah as toylion and IXI Nick IXI said, I made a run a year ago and am currently in the process of making the second run. Unfortunately, it's already a closed list and these are definitely the last ones I'll be making. If anybody drops of at the last minute and I have a spare already finished, I can sell that, but it is rather unlikely.
However, if you want to make your own, I'll answer any questions you might have. As I've already often stated, these aren't really hard to make, they just require time and patience.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Did I make that last list or was I too late?

 

[agonistes86]

Did I make that last list or was I too late?

No don't worry, you're on the list. Everbody that was on the original waitlist and/or contacted me up until April 19th (4 days ago) is on the new list. Not everybody on that list has confirmed that he's still interested, but I won't drop anybody off the list until I have word from them that they aren't interested anymore.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Ok cool. Definitely still interested. My Neo needs some shades! Lol

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Obviously not done yet but well on its way!

Also, does anyone know where to find a left trigger hand? All I can find from Hot Toys for a left trigger hand is a relaxed "pointing" hand

 

[MarfMaster]

Lookin' good!

I'm using the left relaxed hand here, it works well enough for a trigger hand

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

is your coat wired?

 

[MarfMaster]

is your coat wired?

Yep! Helps a lot with the presentation I think.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

just the bottom or up the front too?

and what wire/gauge did you use?

 

[MarfMaster]

just the bottom or up the front too?

and what wire/gauge did you use?

Just the bottom, and I'll have to get back to you on the specific gauge.

Same here, that hand works great actually IMO.

thanks I know nobody going to pass on these very cool glasses You really did a great job on them....and they really not hard to make??

few more tweaks, different body...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks great! What's the new body?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Its the New Goblin body instead of the Landa body. I think its just an Adv TT instead of the narrow TT
