Nope, but I did consider Regina once, then realized there weren't any 1/6 dinosaurs for her!
Y'know what's weird? When I first saw Final Destination when it first came out, I also first laid eyes on then young Ali Larter and thought "She'd be perfect for Claire!" Then when they announced her to play Claire in Extinction I thought "No way!" Of course, at first sight of a leaked pic of her as Claire I was in utter disappointment, they didn't even try! She looked more like Claire in the first FD! It's like when Mummy Returns and Spirits Within came out close together and I considered the Mummy Returns more of a Final Fantasy movie than Spirits Within was

I don't know. I think they had pictures of it on their site, but I could be mistaken. Now it's just listed as coming soon with no images right now and I can't remember how it looked.

Exactly, and to answer your question Project A, that's what I'm waiting for as well. Should be good!

If the outfit comes with boots, they might come in handy for all of us trying to get a suitable alternative to the Sheva boots for our Jill Valentine figures.

That is unless they base her off the DC look. Do we know for sure? "Early 2012" is kind of past now lol

I don't think any of us can say for sure since it's just a custom site with limited resources I'm sure. Hopefully, it just got delayed or something.
I was hoping they'd do the Resident Evil 2 outfit and those boots would be pretty useful for Jill. Maybe not exact, but close enough.

As an afterthought, I realize Joseph's vest may just be dark grey after all. In the original artwork, dark grey to black colors were drawn comic book style (ala Venom) where blue was used. Even in the REmake artwork it looks legitimately dark grey. Oh well, I'll look at it like I do Batman's color scheme in Arkham Asylum/City, looks black or blue in certain lighting.

I considered Chris, but not Leon. I still may...for fun though and a one time deal. Reason being, for Chris the extra khaki pants is going toward Nicholai and the bomber jacket will be used for my Ryo Hazuki custom.
For Leon, I could do his other alt. outfit. I do have two green cargo pants, one was gonna go towards my Ren Wuying custom. I could just throw on Billy's tank top and Jill's baseball cap and voila!
Funny how two of the parts will go toward my Shenmue customs

Copy Pasty from OSW on my method for coloring the vests should anyone take an interest in creating any STARS members in the future:
I used the blue and red from this set to brush paint on two Chris STARS vests for Forest's and Barry's vests. You can paint over the STARS lettering and be fine:
This set is slightly different in color shade in that the shades are darker, but from the same company and will work as well:
I used Folk Art Fabric paints "Pure Orange" and "Yellow Light" on two Chris STARS vests for Richard's and Brad's detailed in the instructions I posted earlier. You can paint over the STARS lettering with these paints too. When you bleach the vests, the color becomes one with the vest and the STARS lettering remains intact and black, if not even more pronounced than before as you can see in my Brad vest pic:
This is what I used on a STARS Wesker vest for Joseph. I mixed in a little black fabric paint to darken it to the desired shade of blue I needed for Joseph. Don't water this one down, as it'll make the paint more "sparkly" and therefore would make your vest sparkly. With this paint, you'll also have to paint around the white STARS lettering, which can be difficult, as the paint will completely cover the STARS lettering and it'll be lost if you're not careful:
Luckily for Kenneth and Enrico, I don't have to paint their vests! Still deciding on what to use for Edward, though. No, the paint does not make the vests hard. However, prolonged bleaching will definitely make it stiff and kill the padding inside the vest as I found via my extra, backwards STARS lettering vest I used as a guinea pig.
The cool thing is if you do'em all right, they'll turn out as if they looked like official vests to begin with! As in, they'll still feel as though you never dyed them at all; soft texture and padding remain in its new color. Joseph would be an exception as his is a bit shiny and looks/feels like it's painted, but it still won't be stiff.

Would be pretty easy though! But nah, I'm already doing way too many as is lol. Like I said, I may do a one time photo shoot. I'll even use my mini photo studio for once!
For any Shenmue fans, as I mentioned these two are on my list as well:

Well thanks to a little inspiration and push from Project A after seeing his Alice custom, I finally got arond to completing mine. I had abandoned this project a while back and sold my Harue dress and was going to sell my Spencer Milla/Alice sculpt. After I painted it I really liked how it turned out so I decided to invest in finishing the figure after all. I may sell her down the road but here are a couple pics of the finished product. Also I'm sure it's been mentioned but has anyone used D-art studios Resident Evil outfits for customs? I see he has Clair, Jill and Ada available now. I've ordered other outfits from him and they are all top notch.
