Just sliped his legs into the boots.

Before I do it. How is the best way to get the ankle extenders off? Do I need to dip them in hot water or pry them off or both? I don't want to damage anything.

Okay, so what's the second part of the lesson. I've popped the extenders off of Jack's legs, so how do we attach the extenders to Elizabeths legs. Do we need to pull the pegs out of her calves or what? And how do we get them out (there sealed in there pretty tight)?

PM sent to you asking how to add extenders to Elizabeth.

Well me, I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always count on to be dishonest, honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for, you never know when they might do something incredibly....stupid.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?

Not sun set... sun down. Up!

Keeping this afloat, and safe from Davy Jones' locker.

Got this from Customizerwannabe (thank you) for my soon-to-be custom Swann:

Excellent figure actually. The detail on the clothing is remarkable, so much so I almost hate to strip her down... but I'm just not a huge fan of this look for Eliz.

But I'm glad to have the outfit. I could make a great "Chinese Warrior" or something out of it. Or, in the event I upgrade to a custom Swann head some day, I can always put her back in this outfit.

You don't often hear a guy say he would hate to strip down Knightley.

If it was the real Keira, I'd have no trouble. In fact, I've imagined that often.

Never hear or read those words from me, she's GORGEOUS.

Are you making a DMC custom WG?

Pirate garbs?

Yes. I hope to get started on her this week.

The DMC pirate outfit certainly isn't as elaborate or detailed as the AWE one, but I found Keira to be at her most adventurous in that gear. Just seems to suit a Pirates line-up better for me.

I'm also planning a Will Turner DMC figure to go with her. Just need to pick up an HT body and have the Will sculpt repainted appropriately.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

Please keep us updated. I'm sure she will turn out awsome. I always favored the DMC Liz to the AWE version also.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread

So I picked up the Cannibal Jack yesterday at a show for $120. Pretty nice figure and yes that is a dead on likeness of Depp. Now I need a tutorial on how to best put him together. Any help would be great fellas. To me he is one of the best figures of the year!

Well, I actually got around to stripping Swann of her AWE outfit today just to try a very rough TEST of the outfit parts I've collected to build the DMC outfit.

Here's a pic of the TEST, no futzing, just thrown on:

I have a lot of work to do now: a lot of stitching and sewing to get that outfit more fitted, some painting, some dying of course, and adding all the correct buttons. The scabbard belt is incorrect, just there to get an idea.
