The OFFICIAL BLADE RUNNER Thread

I guess this Batty WIP belongs here to...

First: the old custom, using the "not so good" Toy Syndicate sculpt

Now, the new one, with this new custom sculpt with hair.

As you can tell, the new one is going to raise the bar high over the
last one I did. Should finish him in the next week or so and will update
pictures when I do.

Damn, I should've posted in this thread, rather than the really long one. Oh well!

To make up for my dumb post above, I shall share with you a story.

I bought a doll from eBay and an amazing head sculpt from Spenser for a friend's birthday. I couldn't resist playing with him while he's in my care.

Story begins!

Deckard is depressed. He doesn't like it on my dusty shelf.

"It's not all bad," says Original Head. "At least he cleared some dust away just for you!"

It didn't help. Deckard was still stuck on a mostly dusty shelf, between Cranky Kong and Original Head. He didn't like O.H.'s new body transplant, either. He had to get away!

He toppled over a nearby deoderant can and clambered onto it. Freedom!

He whizzed past Original Head, taking a few potshots as he did. The shots punctuated his curses, none of which I can repeat here.

Deckard could hear someone coming. The 'Law of the Toys' states that every toy must be inanimate around humans. Deckard didn't care. He was gonna blast whoever walked through that door!

Unfortunately, he was no match for the mighty human. He was restrained and posed under coloured lights, as is customary for sci-fi characters.

Again, I am amazed with Spenser's head sculpt. I've even considered keeping it for myself, even though my friend is more of a Blade Runner fan than I. Oh well, at least I got to play with it!

That Batty with hair looks really good, too...

Dude, that's a great Decker sculpt, can anyone get it?

I got everything else for a Decker, just not a great head.

Anybody seen this? I've searched around, and haven't seen anyone talking about it. Looks great! Seems akin to the "Screaming Jack" from a few months ago.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Yes. It was seen in this thread here:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/custom-made-1-6-scale-Blade-Hunter-Redux-action-figure_W0QQitemZ200342485416QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item200342485416&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

Pretty neat, although a little pricey, (even with my deal).

Looks better than the Android Hunter in my opinion, so I just pre-ordered with the view to swapping out the head.

and has a thread of its own here:

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I just found it titled Blade "Hunter." ABC has it available for pre-order on eBay, so maybe this means it will be out soon.

Batty with hair looks pretty sweet!

Thanks. I have him finished, but I'm not happy with some of
the clothes now that I put him on an Enterbay body. The leather
trench turned out well, but the shirt blows now that everything else
is at a higher level. So I going to try a new shirt and shoes.

The shoes were correct, but I damaged them. I had made them into
bootfeet for the HT body it was on, but the Enterbay has good pose
ability in the feet. When I tried to convert them back to fit on feet,
I ripped the side of the shoe in half...

I'll post more pictures in a few days.
The Enterbay body really brought Roy to life.

Cool, can't wait to see him finished & how that hair looks!

Very nice, man. Very nice.

Okay, I made adjustments to the neck hole, so the head sits on
there and looks natural now. Plus, I gave him the paint job
and drove a real carpet tack through his hand.

I dremeled the carpet tack to look like it is in the movie.
I painted him based off a bunch of freeze frames. I didn't
put as much of Pris's make-up on him. in the freeze frames
I was looking at, it had almost washed off completely.
I let the blood and sweat run down him in a natural fashion
based on where it was on his body in the freeze frames. Just
like in the movie, the rain diluted the blood in some spots.

Take a look, as soon as I finish the shoes and shirt, he'll be ready.

 

[Master Wayne]

I was wondering if you were going to add the blood and nail. Looks even better now. Even the hair looks just right. Fantastic work, man.

I still haven't seen this movie yet.
