READ FIRST POST! [iminime] Wall Street Killer - Patrick Bateman

[PopCultKid]

The Walkman & nail gun would be my two highest wants in an accessory pack because like Ray said there are tweaks and mods that you can make do with available items on the market; the Walkman and accurate nail gun isn't out there.

I'd like to see the watch done to an accurate degree but I guess others could be painted to do the trick. The Coulson is farily close and if you just paint the center band of "links" gold you'll be pretty close to Bateman's two-tone. The Bruce Lee watch is actually supposed to be a Rolex DateJust but it's all gold and fit for the BL body, which has smaller wrists than the Narrow and other regular sized bodies

Has any body changed out the body and if so what did you use. I would imagine extend ankle pegs would be used for the height difference. The body these are on are total POS bodies and I know they are taller than regular hot toys bodies. Hands fall off, pegs fall out, foot pegs fall out. I can't stand these bodies. I'm thinking narrow shoulder with ankle extensions??

Anyone have any pics of a swap on Bateman?

 

[PopCultKid]

Wow Mish, I'm surprised you're saying that. You may have gotten a dud body broski. Both of my ZCWO bods (Bateman & Blondie) are pretty damn good. I dont think that theres a completely equal match to rival TT's on the market just yet, but these would be amongst the best of HT's comp. They sell for big money on The Bay too. this is the cheapest listing right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-6-Scale-...6017?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item51bbdb81f1

If your looking to swap it out then a TTM18 with ankle extenders will be the best fit. I was going to swap it to an 18 but not because I don't like the quality of the body, because I wanted him to be shorter. When I ported him over the pants were too long to futz into looking good. Throwing long foot pegs on would defeat the purpose for me so I stuck with the stock bod and mine is solid

You sure you got a real body mishu? Because after a long time Iminime finally used really decent quality body on this one. They are far from the loose and things that the earlier knock offs were like.

 

[PopCultKid]

Excuse these quick pitiful pics. There's all sorts of distortion going on; I promise the pose looks way better in person

I've had him in this pose for 2+ months without a stand. Leaning back, both knees and ankles bent and he hasn't budged a mm. Stiff as a board

Those wrist pegs though?

Not a fan of these bodies myself. When I first received Bateman one leg was 1/2inch shorter than the other. Denny was nice enough to replace the defective body though. I'd like to swap the body for somthing better and would love to see Kato finally take on the suit and do it proper justice with a more accurate 80's cut version of the suit.

 

[axecutioner18]

I think he is using smaller hands like Bruce Lee or something, as HT sized palms are actually way larger scale... hence the wrist peg is even more visible than it should be.

 

[PopCultKid]

Those wrist pegs though?

Yea maybe they can use a changin'. I forget if they'e the stock one's that come with the body or Indy pegs. Those are Indy hands

They don't jump out as much in person as they do it these pics

My biggest grip is with the hands/pegs. Always falling off. I put on the overcoat and the hands won't stay on, the hands that came with mine are rubber, but blondes hands are plastic. Neither of the sets of hands can come close to the realistic ness of hot toys. I am going to add a layer of glue to the inside of the wrists to help make a tighter fit. I picked up some Bruce banner hands for him which are a little tan, but Bateman was hitting the tanning salon for sure. Much improvement. Trying to make him better to keep him from hitting the sales thread, lol.

I have used the body on customs also, but not thrilled with them on the customs they are on as I have to tighten them periodically.

 

[Queromarvel]

By any chance someone is willing to sell the overcoat?

 

[mishu2nite]

I bought the Chicago gangster coat, I like the way it looks on the figure better than iminime Evan though it isn't quite accurate. Pm if you can't find one.

I can't remember now because I gave him the pegs and handset when I first got this so IDK if these were the stock pegs or Indy ones. I'm starting to think they're Indy's because I'm vaguely remembering the hands falling out with mine as well. Upgrading hands and pegs are 9/10 a given with all customs. It's a little upgrade that always adds a lot to a set. I'm surprised that you've been using the stock hands for this long. From what I recall aren't the stock painted like a ghostly white?

I must have changed the pegs too because I've had him in a bunch of different poses since I got him and he can hold all the accessories with no problems. I'm starting to remember going with the bigger HT hand peg because the smaller version didn't look right with the big forearm/wrist socket of the ZCWO? Maybe?

Is this still available to buy?

 

[EdgarFigaro]

Hard to believe Denny still had this available, but sure enough, looks like I bought the last regular set. Stunning piece!

 

[PopCultKid]

Woah! You're a lucky son of a gun Edgar! I'm surprised to hear that there was one left after all this time!

Just to add, it was a while since I reposed him but I did right after these posts a few weeks ago. It jogged my memory and I remember that the stock hand pegs used to fall right out. I have Indy pegs in which are slightly better in the way that they can hold accessories and not just fall out, but they are still a little loose and come out easier than they should

I believe Denny said it was buried behind a stack of empty boxes! Apparently someone stacked a bunch of empty boxes on the box and no body knew it was even there…. until they started packing the new boxes with figures.

Congrats!!!! That's one hell of a find for you!!!!

Holy cow. Well Denny should go digging for gold in the office/storage and tell us what else is left!

When I spoke to him about 1½ weeks ago he said that there was still 1 Angry Bride FS (clean) left so who knows if there's anything else lingering around

 

[EdgarFigaro]

Thanks guys! It's definitely a really sweet score, bit reminiscent of how I got my Plainview actually
