I would recommend her if you like the character/movie great figure clothing/accessories etc but the headsculpt is meh..: better than the re1 Alice one that sculpt is awful! But I swapped the the Swtoys for the HT one. Hopefully apocalypse is next since I just need the gear for my second apocalypse custom.

Here my posing needs a lot of work but she looks great to me

The Milla figures are alright if they have to categorize her as Resident Evil. The first movie one is prob the best in my opinion, BUT shes just a rip off of Ada. Wish they would focus more on the game stuff / cgi movies then the live action stuff.

2.0 'Becca depicts her in her Director's Cut bonus outfit, which is also available as paid DLC for the RE0 HD remaster on current consoles.

After some consideration I decided to get one as to not miss out and having had my offers ignored on three different eBay listings from China, I managed to find and nab the last one that Planet Action Figures had here in the UK for an excellent £99 with free post.

First impressions were: Not a bad figure; does a decent job of filling the gap on the STARS shelf, but it's a poor representation of Rebecca all in all: The face looks more Jill in my opinion. It's hideously plain and empty looking... needs more work in the eye area with some paintwork and airbrushing to giver her some eye shadow. I may even redo the eyebrows to look less angry and a little more soft or anxious. She just looks so... dazed and way too neutral, otherwise - Almost creepily so! The headband also seems merely painted onto her forehead with the rest of the sculpt being the same as the 1.0, so it's inaccurate to the in game model of this outfit. Hair has been given a wash of... grey? Looks terrible, needs repainting.

As mentioned by others she's definitely over-scale and the body is very naff, with one wrist breaking already and pose-ability limited; I struggled to make her hold the included shotgun and she's now wielding a spare Smith & Wesson instead. Wouldn't recommend replacing as it's not worth while thanks to the chunky noggin she has and it does the job. A bit of toning and shading with the airbrush may improve the look of it, too.

The clothing is as to be expecting from a figure of this sort and like the head also needs work: the buckles on the various straps don't hold tight and loosen after a few minutes. The ends of said straps like to fray apart - consider super glue to avoid further damage. The weirdest bit: the white parts are filthy as heck for some reason, like they've been splattered with weak coffee or they've used some old material they had lying around the warehouse. It FEELS grubby as well... eurk! It's on all of them by the looks of it, so not just me. They'll get a wash at some point, it's disgusting. Shirt also lacks the STARS logo so that'll need to be added by yourself, strange since the red crosses are present on both pouches...

The accessories comprise of a shotgun and walkie talkie. Both are done very well with the radio featuring a clip as to slot it onto Rebecca's belt. Very nice. The shotgun is modelled after the one found in Zero and looks great, but held together by just a moisture of glue - it split in two on me whilst posing, between the reciever and barrel assemblies. Otherwise fine, but the lack of a handgun or first aid spray is seriously offensive and makes this figure seem so lacklustre. You don't even get a stand... I mean, what? I could've done without the spare hands as they're bare and therefore useless to this figure.

All in all, pretty meh but worth grabbing if you can save on the usual price. I wouldn't pay the £130-150 asked for her. I glad I got her in as I'm personally a fan of Rebecca and she looks good alongside my Chris kitbash. Ideally I'd recommend her for those who are keen to customise or mod and so, have a stock of spare bits and bobs to outfit her with and know their way around a paintbrush.

Dang looks like alot of work to be done but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. The mr winters will be my first official sw toys fig, so I hope everything comes out at least decent when it does release

I would say HIS LEFT eyebrow inner eyebrow is slightly too low, might have to bring it up a hair and drop the whole thing a hair to compensate. It's nearly perfect to me, and adjustment is goign to need to be really really fine and delicate.

The nose tip area, I don't know what it's called, but the bulbous cartlige in the tip that tends to make a ball but otherwise much closer going by the reference posts you made earlier. It's gonna be tricky though since it's not consitent across every image I see. It looks off but I've no idea what to say about how to change it.

Mouth looking way closer. Hairline outline is now good to me, but it's sitting a bit too high. Like one eye's length too high. But if you do that, you'd still need to taper it in. Corner of his hairline where the sideburn meets the scalp should be right over the arc points in his eyebrows. Skill cap in general is a bit too thick since Marvin'e got more of an oval head from the references.

It's much closer than it was when we first saw it.

Probably a longshot, but with how many people in here have made or own numerous STARS members, I'm sure I could get somewhere:

Hands. Not bothered what pose as long as it's the proper STARS gloved ones. I'm wanting to get truly invested with my figures this year and would like the hands in stock ready to be fitted to my eventual Barry, Enrico, Brad, etc. These hands don't exist on eBay or otherwise and I don't wish to use generic goods that aren't accurate. Considering the number of releases of STARS Chris' that have been made - namely HT, ZCToys and MomToys - as well as Wesker by HT and MoeToys, there must be a few spare hands in y'all's stashes!

Please respond if you've any or even PM me to discuss a fair price - they're only hands at the end of the day. I've had no luck for years and If I don't find any soon, I plan to cast the one pair that I have in plastic which, although would mean unlimited hands, is an expense and potentially tedious process I'd rather put off, if possible.

@Brandoloneous has both Bravo and Alpha team. As far looking for the right or accurate parts most of those parts are long sold out at this point. Hopefully some members have extra parts they’re willing to sell. Good luck.

Yup, been a few years now since these such bits were within normal reach. Oh if only I was into this stuff when it was at it's peak...

Hence really why I've been forced to consider casting what I've got in plastic. Also considering a 3D printer.

Now I think about it, I suppose making castings will pay for itself if it works out since I could sell any spare results...

A litttle tips if anyone want to cast/recast something small for themself... there is alot of ways to do that but probably the easiest way is using silicone molding that usually use in Gundam hobbies... some brand is called "Oyumaru".. its a small silicone rubber that u need to put it on a boiled/warm water to molding things, after it dried it will be hard again and can be use forever...

u can use resin bottle that dried on UV light to cast anything, like this..

Oh man, I almost forgot this existed. Not heard about it in years! It's also available as Blue Stuff, made by the same folk who make Green Stuff putty.

Ordered some via Amazon and plan on casting the boots from my Wesker figure with Miliput to test the waters, so to say. I'll have to look for something soft and flexible for the hands, though... does such a thing even exist?

there is a thing by "Cosclay" brand, its a clay but flexible when dried.. but i dont know will it work well in detailed casting since its not liquid..
3D printing option will also resulting in hard plastic and not flexible, except if u cast it in a silicone or the hard way in PVC, either way its an expensive way for just a hand...

or... if u had sculpting experience u could sculpt a gloved hands from a normal hands that already existed, this is the cheap way that i do for almost all my customs gloved hand.. since its hard to get the exact gloved hands and weirdly any gloved hands that already exist in the market is far more expensive than a normal skin human hands...

I actually tried this already and my Chris Redfield has worn DIY gloved hands for months now! It's something I will likely do for other figures though, I agree that gloved hands are an expensive problem.

Problem with the STARS gloves: they have rather prominent wrist straps, with the left hand wearing a watch around the outside; I'm not sure how to secure the wrist straps using epoxy clay. Unless I integrate some rolled up sheet plastic to give the clay something to grab onto next time, my work will forever look chunky or way too fragile. I'll try again at some point if I can't get the hang of casting them.

I just need to practice sculpting more and try different clays (Milliput is great but has it's limits I feel) to get better results. It's something I did a lot of as a child and wish to continue amongst not just figures, but my other hobbies where making stuff myself is a must. It's great fun; there's a few bits and bobs in my collection that I've made myself. I'd like to get to the point of sculpting heads one day too.

I like how clean you managed to set up the pouches, what did you do for the eyes? How did you manage to do his outfit so well?
