Show Us Some ASH

[galactiboy]

I think now it's time to also start working on the AOD Evil Ash figure... stock one isn't too bad; but I think upgrading the body, dirtying him up a bit and repainting some areas will really make him shine.

And it gives me another project to tackle

Evil Ash's head is just so big. I look forward to seeing your progress!

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, it's a pretty giant noggin'. Probably can't do a lot for that, but I plan to swap the figure over to a Pro 1.1 and do some weathering/repainting to make him at least a bit more polished looking.

In all honestly the parts on him (armor and what-not) are pretty impressive; but its an older figure and suffers from many of the same issues older figures have.

 

[mmmmBrains]

It's still an impressive figure, especially for the price it can be found. I'll always have a love/appreciation for the SS 1/6th horror line. They're still some of my favorites in the collection.

Re watching the blu ray extras for ED2 and I gotta say, if you haven't seen them, go buy the blu ray right now. Really fun watch.

 

[galactiboy]

Are they better quality than the DVDs? I know a lot of films are getting released, but look like *** since no one bothers to clean them up for the transfer.

Also, I love my Book of the Dead packaging, so I'm reluctant to give those up

 

[mmmmBrains]

I only have ED2 on blu ray ATM. Waiting for them to release a box set on blu which is bound to happen sooner or later. The quality difference is for sure there. Worth the $10 I paid through walmart.com. You of course have got to keep the BOTD versions. I will never get rid of mine, such a good idea. Have you ever seen the Necronomicon hand puppet?

Wow he didn't hold on to that one for long

He should have no problem selling it i still had people pming me about it even after i sold it.

 

[galactiboy]

I thought that was the one you just sold

 

[mmmmBrains]

Does that guy buy figures just to sell them? Seems every other week he's selling the pieces he just bought.

 

[galactiboy]

Well, I started about about 8pm tonight and finished up around 12a. Had a little marathon of customizin old Evil Ash.

So first; here's the before of Evil Ash taken right around 8p last night:

[galactiboy]

And here's the after...

And on display:

In all I did the following mods:
Body swapped to a Pro 1.1
Reshaped and glossed the armor
Gave the clothing and cape a tea bath and weathered with paints
Repainted the head, helmet, hands and sword.

Pretty much a redo from top to bottom, but with the excecption of the body its all the original figure.

That evil ash looks awesome Joseph!

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks Seb, glad you approve

Thanks Seb, glad you approve

Nice job!

Which headsculpt is on the shirtless Ash? I think that's my favorite. Is it a Beto? If so, which version?

 

[galactiboy]

Yes, that is from Beto and I think that was the first Evil Dead one he offered. So maybe the 2nd Ash head... it was painted by Elvis1976 to match the Wolervine body.

Once I get my harness in I'll be finishing him.

 

[cplhicks]

Great job on that Evil Ash!

Makes a big improvement!

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks Hicks; so turns out the Sideshow figure had the sword on the wrong side of the body. So I switched sides and removed the scabbard as that was also incorrect. But interesting the leather belt and holdler for the scabbard was correct so it ended up being a very easy fix:

The belt and sword w/o the scabbard:

I so badly regret purchasing an evil dead Ash from darkartist over 3 years ago. 170$ lighter, and havent received a thing at all.

Luckily there's this thread to keep my spirit up, great job Beto! Hopefully one day Darkartist will come through so I can put your headsculpt on the body.

Some truly epic Ashes in here!

Sorry to hear that... were you not part of the massive project to return items. A lot of people basically got boxes with parts in them, but it sounds like that would have helped in your situation.
