Bashing a civvie Bucky - WIP
So it just annoyed me I couldn't stuff an HT Bucky into the Super MC Toys civvie set jacket (that arm!) and went looking for a body - preferably cheap (but good). ZC Toys muscular body had good comments on YT (and it's cheap):
Yeah, I knew about the different leg colors - seller sent pics and told me. Body comes w. hands but no extra pegs, no underwear, and the hands are Captain America HT (but any plain gloved hands will work). Don't know if all ZC Toys are like this or I just got parts...
Jeans fit thankfully. Once again ankle pegs are too small for MC outfit boot holes, so some Tack-It to the rescue...
IMO, getting there. The custom sculpt is really designed as Winter Soldier Bucky so the hair is frizzed/wavy and IMO no amount of futzing is going to smooth it out - it's a cheat here stuffing it here and there, but besides dying a shade darker it really needs to be re-wigged IMO.
Except IMO it's a rooted sculpt for a WS, really - don't want to wreck it
, so probably will try another head I have that I was going to put rooted hair on. Re the body - weeeeelllll, it's good, but the knees and thigh/hip joints are kinda floppy. Everything on the lower part seems too loose. I'd try another of these tho and needed a sort of floppy body (cheap) to make a Special Forces guy who is getting taken out, so I'm not upset. Think this upper torso was kind of geared for a Wolverine figure - the elbows seem of stick out too.
Just don't want to pay $$$ for a body that's mostly covered. Might have to tho
re staging the fight scenes (or fix the joints).
But a peek at what the ACPlay Bucky might look like (if/when it is released - think this is ACPlay sculpt)
. And I've got some painting/dying/futzing to do. As well as dealing w. the too-large Henley buttons. (Hopefully the ACPlay civvie fig will have Bucky without fingerless gloves, which he wasn't wearing until the airport fight.) Sculpt is better in-hand than I thought it would be.
