Sideshow Snake Eyes Photo Thread

[Darth Cruel]

OK...I just want to ask this question in order to kepp from having to go all the way back through this thread. 3 Questions:

1) How many versions of the Albert Wesker manequinn are there? (Edit - By this mean how many different TTs were used on AW?)

2) If there are more than 2, which is the one that is popular for Snake Eyes?

3) Why is the Jack Krauser manequinn not popular?

1. There are 2; the STARS version from RE1 and midnight version from RE5, the RE1 version was recently released following the RE5 version.
2. Both, they're both the same body; but nevertheless, Hot Toys will release that body for all. Although, I'm pretty sure the new Blade has that same body but with a different skin tone.
3. There isn't that much articulation; they're hard to come by too since that figure is very old. And since the upper torso, I'm assuming most of it to be some type of rubber; putting on the shirt will be hard.

Thanks Kibagami. I do hope they release them by themselves. So there is no issue with the rubber on the Redfield or Krauser bodies tearing?

I don't know. Not a lot of people have them dressed as Snake Eyes. So far only a few I've seen have done so. And I don't own one of those bodies either.

 

[Darth Cruel]

OK. Thanks for the help!

 

[Kibagami]

Welcome. =)

Is there a TT body that matches the wesker body. I can't find that one anywhere.

Just wait a bit. The Blade and the STARS Wesker have the same body type but then Hot Toys will have them for general release.

 

[spiderbo]

Thanks very much.

I just picked up a Wesker body, I don't believe it has the neck adapter, wrist pegs or ankle pegs, I have my SE on the stock pro, any tips or suggestions before I get my Wesker this week. Will the SS neck adapter work on the Wesker bod?

 

[EVILFACE]

Neck will swap over. You will need to trim off a few ribs from the SS wrist post.

 

[Skiman]

Nice, thanks Evil, that should be easy enough. I can't wait to upgrade my SE, I'm tired of him hiding in the loading toys sweater

I got a spare pair of HT ankle pegs that I never ended up using, you can have 'em if you need 'em.

 

[Kibagami]

Yes, no need for a connector. Neck might be loose. If it is then duct tape the neck peg.

Actually, don't use duct tape. Over time it'll become a gooey mess. Use plumber's tape. Works just as well and there's no adhesive nightmare.

Good tip. Plumber's tape for the win.

I suggest using TT wrist pegs, just wrap some plumbers tape around the peg that goes into SE hands. He won't look like he has monkey arms if you use TT pegs. SE neck adapter will fit just fine and TT ankle pegs will pop into SE boots fine after you soak them in hot water.

The only thing about Wesker's body is that it is taller. The ankle extesions are almost twice as high as the regular TT. I dont know if it matters to you, just passing the info.

Simply break them off and swap them with those on another TT.

Or just simply swap out the entire leg from the knee down. I did some mods to an old style true type, and when I wanted to give SE newer boots that required the TT ball-joint ankle pegs instead of swapping the entire body over I just swapped out the lower legs. Either way, the procedure is fairly easy if you find the Wesker body too tall for SE.
