Resident Evil Customs Thread

[Senfi83]

Have been thinking about that. Would you repaint it yourself or go with an experienced painter?

Only problem would be shipping the whole statue, so that would bump the price up and the whole thing would at risk of damage or getting lost.

Think I'll do it myself. I only want to repaint the eyes and then some touch-ups on the eyebrows and maybe the lips. If it was a full repaint I would probably send it in.

Yeah, unfortunately there's always the risk of something getting lost or being stolen. Just happened to me recently. It's very unlikely imo but it's possible. 99% of shipments have arrived over the years with only 3 or 4 lost in the mail. I would advise to always use insurance if your sending something of value. Also ask the sender to use insurence too.

I have 2 sculpts currently waiting to be repainted by 357partment. Damtoys Leon and Ahsoka by v.collectibles. I try not to think about the possibility for one of those to get lost in the mail.

Question to everyone. Are most people only interested in the game characters or movie characters? I am thinking about doing a couple more movie characters and want to gauge interest.

I may be wrong but 99.9% of the people in this thread are only interested in game characters. Lol

Definitely game characters have a bigger fandom.

If they did a really good Milla Jovovich that'd be nice, but it would have to be artisan or Inart quality for me to consider it lol

Or a $1,000 custom Milla.

I remember wanting this:

Just managed to get the dress and skirt.

$1000?! That’s not good enough for $1000 imo.

$1000?! That’s not good enough for $1000 imo.

That’s a 2009 limited run of 10. They were $600-900 I think. Who knows how much these days tho….

Ahh 2009. That makes sense. We’ve come so far when it comes to custom heads.

 

[Project_A]

Yeah besides some custom headsculpts they haven’t done a really good re1 Alice.

I would love a good license RE1 Alice since that seems like the most “wanted” and asked for but I’m content with mine:

Forgot about that kit.

 

[Morgenergy]

Besides Alice and maybe Wesker I don't see there being much of a market for movie universe stuff.

A lot of the characters resemble bad cosplays too much.

I have a question about the statues box. Would it be possible to fit two of them side by side into a detolf?

Maybe Sienna as Jill and Ali’s look in afterlife. But I don’t see big demand outside of Alice.

No. Just one per shelf.

Argh!

I'll have to store the boxes somewhere and come up with something that has both logos that can be placed behind Jill & Leon on the same shelf. Either scan both boxes or find the logos online with an background image then make it into a stand that fits onto a detolf shelf. I might wait for them to arrive and see if I can lay them on the side and placed one on the other. Don't know if that would work?

Thanks for taking the time to check and show me, much appreciated.

I WILL BE DOING A MILLA HEAD IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO GO WITH SOME OF THE OTHER MOVIE HEADS I HAVE DONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.

Looks like Hot Heart is taking the classic approach.
Also, it's a set only, no body. I think that's a good choice.

I am an old fart and can't hear. Because I check typos easier.
