Ahhhhh trying to stay away from modding this figure but I'm going to have to. The body size is bothering me now. 
Here are some pics of my modded figure:
I really like this shot I got:
The fatsuit, which is great, but not really all that accurate to Hopkins' body IMO:

Something is wrong, how can that proto have a fat suit on?, and the straight jacket looks 100 times better on the promo,.
Wake said no bald spot, can't be, and thinning hair, just can't be wake, Hopkins hair is unmistakeable thin, how do you have a full head of hair lecter with no balding spot, I need to see your sculpt...there is no way it was botched that badly...then again the proof is in the pics, show it wake..
I have bought both twd figures based off the proto pics, those are huge figures for me, please Denny take whatever time you need to get them right.

I'll post pictures. I sent Denny a message regarding the hair already. No response. But then again its really early in korea.
The bald spot was never in any of the promo pics. I've asked to see it several times with no response
Nope, definitely full head of hair 
The inaccurate shape of the mask is bugging me most

Really ray, full head of hair? How can that get messed up? Also the mask looks wide, is it ray? The pics of the straight jacket so far really bother me..,
Just my opinion but I think iminime are just going to fast with too many figures so close together,,, quality will no doubt suffer. Denny could tell us better, maybe it's us? When I mean us I mean the custom community putting pressure on Denny and his team to pump these figures out as soon as possible so we can get the next hot item, I mean I love wake and all, but the guy is going just way too fast, he has an iminime interest list for 2 more twd figures, 2 fight club, training day, and that's just iminime, lol,, he has stuff on the burner with Kato, Snyderman, moe, bro slow down to the speed limit,
,,, don't get me wrong, great ideas and much thanks , really good stuff wake,, just the customs section is going 150 miles an hour for awhile now, maybe I'm wrong, maybe everybody likes the fast pace.

Lol. You are blaming me?!
If anything I've been this forums biggest ally. Denny asked me to create the walking dead thread. Other than that I have die hard and memento. The goodfellas project doesn't look like its going to happen.
I have NO projects currently with kato. I HAD the sherrif Rick clothes. That was wry successful.
The Snydermans Joan Holloway is a niche project.
What am I doing?! I shouldn't have to defend

I don't think that there is anything wrong with interest lists personally. I think that they are important for Iminime to gauge what the community wants. From there they can choose to green light the project or not. I understand why some guys are concerned about taking on too many projects at once... but what kind of company can they be if they did 2 figures at a time?
Interest list are necessary to give them direction. If all interest list were axed this very second, what would be next? Besides many of those interest list sit around for quite a while AFTER they're green lit before Denny announces that they are going to get started. For example Fight Club was a go for months already and Denny just recently posted that WIP pics were coming soon.
I'm not sure that the amount of interest lists or even the amount of projects currently being worked on is the issue. I can see many other holes in the way they are doing things that is hurting them. I've been wanting to say it for a few days but I've been keeping my mouth shut because I don't want Denny to get offended or misunderstand me.

Mike if you have concerns voice then. Directly to Denny. He listens. He's awesome at that! Just be courteous and polite. For some reason people here get nasty when they don't like something.
I finally got the mask fit perfectly. Here is my experience. Wish that helps guys with similar issue.
I followed Denny's instruction and was able to put the mask on but suffered the same issues as karamazov80 where the lower strap is tight, pulling the mask down a bit and leaving the upper strap loosely.
I saw the length of straps Denny posted here, and measured mine. They are exactly the same as what Denny described. I wondered what caused the misfitting.
I then inspect the mask closely and found that the cheek part is slightly rounder in one side than the other and the upper part is slightly lower than the other. Looking it from the back of the head (mask on the head), I found slightly larger gap on one side than the other side. My guess is that the mask is slightly twisted when it is casted. This is very common when material is hard plastic, check your mobile phone or cameras with plastic case.
Therefore I used hair dryer to warm up and soften the mask a bit, and then slightly twisted it to get the shape right as well as to pinch it from both side. The lower strap was warmed up too and become softer and a little more stretchy. After that the mask can be put on more easily and fits in the perfect position as in PopCultKid's picture. The upper strap was right in place, fitting on top of the hair line.
The extra room of the lower strap after all these is probably 1 mm, but this slightly difference does make the fitting of the mask very different. I am now very happy with the mask on. It looks awesome.

Yeah, no one put a gun to Denny's head and forced him to take on so many projects (that I know of!). I wouldn't blame other members for being excited about a great custom artist and lobbying to get their pet projects made.
Oh I know bro. I've been speaking to Denny for quite some time. And I've frequently shared a piece of my mind with people who aren't smart enough to speak respectfully to him when they are trying to discuss an issue.

Of course I'm not blaming you wake, did you see where I said "us", maybe we push for too many projects, but some think its a non issue, and it probably is, pop cult kid says its bigger than that, it has to do with denny and the co., well then what your doing with the lists is fine, keep it up then, or how about this, we push to much for perfection,,,, I
know these figures aren't cheap, and people want accuracy for their
money. Sometimes it just doesn't happen. Maybe we should just be happy it's made go about fixing it to our personal taste and move on. We can't give them back.

I shoul add that anybody that talks with Denny privately pop c, or anybody else, could only be a good thing, if the end result is a better figure, maybe pop or whomever can tell us what their ideas are, maybe somebody else can add to it and make the fixes even better. I know it defeats the purpose on private talk, but were talking 12 inch figures here. Nothing more. Yet if you guys want to keep your talks private no matter what, so be it. That's your right.
I'm not taking sides as I really like all of the boardies in this discussion but without pointing fingers in the slightest I'm aligning with mightyq. I do think there are too many interest lists. Way too many, the pause button has to be pushed, but to popcultkids point Denny does not have to make so many either, lecter has come and gone and its about 60 percent my expectation level. Only to make room for a million characters a few I like many I don't. I don't like that. I waited 6 years for a good 12 inch lector is wait years more for rhe perfect one.
Mightyq to answer your question, the mask is too round yes and rhe description about it being twisted in casting is probably accurate taking a hair dryer gets it to fit but even on the shape and colour is just too inaccurate to Lector mask in silence,
I rigged a custom strap situation where the top and bottom slip on but the middle one has a buckle, i looked at pics and the behind the scenes video and iminime got the strap system right but we never see the back of his head, some of these props and such have a buckle in the back so I figured its accurate enough anyways I have no problems getting it in or off now and no risk of scraping the paint, ill post pics in a bit

I think its aimed towards my post bro. Cause I name dropped Wake. It was more of a jest not an insult at Wake hence the lol. Its just hes the one been dropping the last few threads so thats why I wrote that. No hard feelings bro.
