That's a decent amount of accessories to have. I'm looking forward to getting Jules now and posing these two together!

Robbie that briefcase is amazing! That's a great accessory for the Jules set. Kudos on making the most necessary accessory for the figure. Just beautiful work.

 

[robbiethepainter]

Thanks buddy. It was a lot of trial and error. What you see is the result of at least 50 working hours.

R,
Amazing work on the case, congrats

Found a picture of the real movie prop, so I made a few changes.

Top notch work Robbie! you are the accessory master!

Jules went up for Pre-order a month ago, turn around is like 2months right? Is the sculpt holding this up? Anyone know a current eta? Can't wait for this figure!

 

[robbiethepainter]

Thirty days is the target delivery time, but with the changes who knows. Its been at least one to two weeks longer the last few figures unless I'm mistaken.

 

[Ajkhunter]

Ya I thought 30 too but then I checked back to Vincent and that was early March per-order I believe and started being delivered early May so second guessed myself.

 

[robbiethepainter]

His website says 30 days but also notes that it could take longer

With the delay in production what stage do you guts think the tailoring is in?

Most of us know that the Agent J body wasn't the best decision. For those who don't know, just read the last 10 pages and you'll get the gist of how the rest of the thread went

I know it's late in the game but I have a suggestion to try and save this situation.

If the clothes didn't get started on then I'm proposing that we all send him $25 so he can buy the AA KO's + $XX for long foot pegs (they generally run around $11-$15 on the Bay) and scrap the MIB idea. If we're buying the new bodies he won't be taking a loss on the old ones. Here are links to the KO's and foot pegs (I didn't ask the seller anything about which versions these bodies are or joint quality. It looks like they are versions 3 & 4)

If it bothers you when the skin color is not accurate then you can go for these Nick Fury ones but the are more rare than the Caps or T-800's

Despite what some think these KO's are an infinitely better choice than the J body. Slightly better scale and better proportions for SLJ (after long foot pegs). Aside from all the other upside of this, maybe the most important is this will be the physique that the suit will be tailored to. If you are that against the KO then at least it will have the same physique as a HT narrow. You can easily find HT AA hands & pegs to put on a TTM08/14/18. So at least with this method there are options. The agent J body is meant for Kobe (I believe) so if the suit gets tailored to fit this body that’s slightly too tall and too built, then there’s no going back from there.

(I say the EB is slightly too tall because after you add the long foot pegs to a TT narrow it becomes pretty tall too. The EB maybe be like 1/16 of an inch taller only but every little bit makes a difference in this scale. Without a very specific mod there will be no way to get a perfect height difference between J & V. The long foot pegs add about ½” to a TT).

I don’t know if it’s too late or if any of you would be interested in exploring this suggestion but I’m just throwing it out there in a last attempt to better this set
