Any US retailers carrying the Jill set? I want to get an Ada body, but they're expensive.

1 6 Scale Female Body from Hot Toys Biohazard 5 Jill Valentine Battle Suit Ver | eBay

It's got a mark on it's left shoulder

Besides, I want to go the seamless route... I'm an idiot.

 

[Project_A]

Yeah those Ada Wong bodies aren't cheap.... almost $100 bucks. Might as well buy a whole figure.


You can wait for either Monkey Depot or Toy Anxiety breakdown.

I gave them a look and they're sold out, but Black Ops Toy restocks a lot.

My 1/6 RE3 Jill has been shipped, if anybody's interested I can take some shots when I get the set. Not sure what to expect though, never bought a bootleg figure before.

 

[Snake Plissken]

What body are you using, Ryan?

What body are you using, Ryan?

For now, I have an extra Phicen from my old MGS customs but it's a big bust size. I guess I'll make do with that until I can get a mid-bust version. Phicen is the way to go for characters showing a lot of skin, and the bodies are becoming much more durable with each revision.

BTW, did you bought the Jill set as well, Pliss?

Not yet, but soon.

They just need to be all positioned in a stand off.

I just got the bootleg Jill set and I have to say the headsculpt is... pretty good!

Here are some pics. The likeness is debatable but the paintwork is quite superb and I don't see myself repainting the head. The outfit looks great for what it is and doesn't feel cheap. I have to say, the paintwork doesn't look as dark as the promo pics and I might be wrong, bu it could be recast of the HT Jill head.

My only concern is the leather-like boots. They do look like they could deteriorate over time. Either way, I'm happy to finally get a RE3 Jill.

Just finished with putting up the figure, using one of the older Phicen bodies.

Wow! Great pics, Ryan! This clothes and sculpt are bought (well, they will be bought this week). Very nice work fitting everything to a Phicen body.

Thanks Solidus! Too bad I have such a crappy camera, I thought this bootleg is pretty well done, and the price is really good and the seamless body works perfectly for the character. I'm really happy with this one. Bootlegs FTW!

Anyway, I don't want to sound like the resident tater, but that pleather looks questionable. Judging from those shots, it looks almost exactly like the material that was used for the jacket on Subway's bootleg Jack Bauer figure. The pleather on the bag and jacket just rotted away on mine, and others have reported the same issue, too.

That was a perfect body you chose, and the head-sculpt and clothes are spot on. Seriously good job job with that semi-custom man!

Oh, I was just about to get to that, the leather-like materials- especially the harness, are really cheap and feels extremely fragile. On top of that, I think the boots would certainly deteriorate over time. The outfit itself is well tailored and is stretchable enough, but I'm really anxious for the other parts. Preeeetty sure it will turn to dust in a few years.

Btw, is the head a recast of the HT?

That custom Jill is swwwwwwweeeet. The body looks perfect for it too. My only complaint about the set is the skirt. Its not right! And i made one myself in the past but it was such a ball ache i never want to do it again.

Originally i swapped the muscle body for the TTM20. But after having it on the TTM20 for a little whilei really wasnt happy with it. Legs were so tight in the pants that the legs couldnt move at all. Head barely attached to the neck joint due to the huge neck ect.

My new favorite body of choice at the moment is a bootleg ttm19 because it actually has a rubber upper body and you can bring in the arms further due to the pliable nature of it. Only problem was that it is a bit skinny. So i just spent a hour building layers to bulk it up to what i want to be my happy medium between it being bulky, and not looking drastically different from STARS and Code Veronica Chris who are also using the same body.

 

[Jameson Rook]

@Kiva, thanks! You'll be happy to know that I've futzed the mini skirt to make it much shorter. It shouldn't be that long. Now I'm thinking of weathering th efigure, but maybe that's for another day. I've also added the pouches on her belt but I forgot the black socks for her boots.

That mod looks perfect for roided Chris!

 

[Brandoloneous]

Looks good Ryan! Only thing irking me is the lining on the top, they're lined up improperly. The two lines are supposed to line up with her breasts.
