Possible commision thread for Spock, Kirk and Mc Coy by Chris Howes!

[**16k**]

The trouble is that they sold out a long time ago (5 or 6 years I think) and I can only think of Ebay, though I'd suggest you read that thread for an unusual yet cool solution!

I'm having trouble finding the Cy Girl version. Do you know where I can find one?

Ebay is probably the best bet. You might be able to try a trade/buy section over at MWD or OSW.

I checked Ebay and didn't find one, but I did find some pics posted on a review site and she doesn't look as good as current Cy Girls.

Perhaps, but current CG's don't come in AA.

For those who are interested, I bought an Official ST TOS pattern and I will ask the production company to "rip" it into 1/6 scale. Moreover, I don't think they can finish these uniforms in a short time because the economy is bad and the manufacturers will scale down their work force. They told me if I confirm this deal in mid-Feb, the production will complete in three months.

That's fine with me. I know Chris is working on several commissions right now and it should take him some months before he's done with the sculpts.

Not in a hurry either!

 

[Ironman1188]

Well, I am!!

Thanks for the efforts made on getting the uniforms together for us. I know I appreciate it, and I'm sure some of the others on this commission do too.

Per our PMs with each other "nanjin" you know that I'm VERY interested in some high quality 1:6 scale Starfleet original series Star Trek uniforms for the crew. Please put my name on your list as being interested in buying them from you. Thanks again for your help with this project!

Question: what body would these uniforms be fitted for? DML? HT Truetype?

 

[samueljd]

Well, so far Chris will be sculpting the heads to fit Hot Toys TT bodies. So I believe they will be fit to those bodies.

 

[abake]

Hmmm... a Truetype might be a bit beefy for Mccoy and Spock.

 

[samueljd]

I considered the same thing, but the Prometheus might work, since it has slimmer shoulders. Also, I know that later this year Hot Toys will be releasing a slim body, so I may use that one for Spock and McCoy.

 

[abake]

Hmmm... interesting idea.
I was toying with the idea of using three different bodies for the characters: Kirk on a TT, McCoy on a DML and Spock on a Buck. That would also help the differences in heights, although I think Kirk was actually shorter than McCoy.

 

[samueljd]

Hot Toys TT bodies come in a few different shapes and skin tones also. I'm customizing a slightly bulkier and more tan body for Kirk (it was the body of the Battle damaged terminator), a slimmer tan looking body for McCoy (I believe it was one of the military bodies), and a pale-olive skin slimmer body for Spock. I've noticed that the generic TT body looks a little bulkier in the chest, while the body for specific packaged figures has a slightly slimmer torso.

 

[Ironman1188]

I used a DML for bones and Kirk, an old BBi G1 for Spock.

 

[abake]

Hadn't thought of the BBi, interesting idea.
Anyway, I guess I'll just have to stock up on some loose bodies and see which works best.

Well, these heads should work with any body that uses a neck joint adapter like Hot Toys, so I would love to see how they work on different bodies.

I have a Hot Toys Truetype with the more slender chest/torso that I thought would work for Spock and Bones and the Truetype with the fuller chest that seems more appropriate for Kirk.

Any good places to get some TT's?
