Looks like you have the same blue shirt for Desmond that i have,i would love to have a less baggy shirt for Desmond,any advice where i can find one?All i can find is Wolverine's red shirt,perfect size but i want a blue one.

I found everything on ebay. I have been looking at fashion doll sewing patterns (haven't seen any for Ken), to make shirts for Juliet & Sun (what a pain it's going to be if I have to go that route). Maybe there is a sewing pattern for a Ken shirt? I would think the size would be a bit smaller...

Any chance you might be able to dye Wolverine's red shirt??

Could you not just scale down a regular shirt pattern? I'm not sure if that's how it works...

Thanks! I really wanted to finish something before I put pics up, but I changed my mind.

I LOVE seeing w.i.p's. Thanks for sharing!!

I'm pretty sure you could. My only concern would be it coming out purplish. If someone was to go that route, I'd suggest using a colour remover first to take out as much of the 'red' as possible.

Any leads on the prison coverall saturday toys set? I really need one for my Desmond bash

 

[EdwardNashton1]

What body are you using?! It looks awesome!




Also, are there any Man in Black customs? I always admired his character before they destroyed it with the Locke thing.

I could try,but like Beeshaw said it might come out purple.

I'll see what I can find. I found a set a while ago and grabbed it for my Juliet. It was a bit pricey though. Then I found a decently priced set, posted it here but they sold out shortly after.

BBI G1. they're cheap and plentiful. but be warned, you lose quite a bit of articulation with the rubber arms. They're just wired, not articulated like the new Hot Toys bodies.

Haven't seen any MIB bashes yet (not in Locke form). Maybe after SDCC and those Mego style dolls are released.

I appreciate your help & input. The whole reason I joined this forum was to be able to get the Lost figures!!

My preliminary Charlie, Desmond, Jack, Ben, Sayid, Locke, & Sawyer...

Looks great! Do you have Charlie on a shorter body than the rest?

I used Skipper's boyfriend, Kevin. It's not poseable at all. I'm not sure how I'll stick his head onto it. I know I have to figure out the baggy jeans issue. Just preliminary, so far...

 

[beeshaw]

Jeans (and pants in general) are easy to take in (leg wise anyways). Just flip them inside out and then take in the seam that's already there. The waist is a little trickier, but if you have a shirt or sweater covering it up, I say just pin the back.

Ok - thanks!

 

[beeshaw]

Not a problem! I had to do the same for my Ben bash since he's on a slim body and all the regular 1/6 clothing are pretty baggy, and I used that same technique on the Dharma jumpsuit for Juliet.

Fat body for Hurley...
Can anyone tell me if they think this is likely a fatsuit or could it possibly be a fat figure?

It may not matter much because I'm not sure I could find this to buy, anyway...

 

[beeshaw]

Not sure, but the one on the far right looks right for Hurley proportion wise in the belly area...

Urban Samurai apparently is making their own fat suit available for sale. I emailed them about a week ago and the only info I got was that they were waiting for another shipment for them to come in.

Allison what do you think of the Hurley ada head? Bee are you going to make a hurley using ada's hurley?

 

[beeshaw]

Bee are you going to make a hurley using ada's hurley?

I passed on it. Took me a while to talk myself out of it though. I'm still working out the body so I'm in no 'rush'. Ada's heads are always there anyways so it wouldn't be an issue with missing the casting run or anything.

But I'm very interested in hearing AA's thoughts on it!!

Are you holding out for someone else to sculpt him or do you know something we don't

 

[beeshaw]

Well, dashopkinsfan has formally announced the rumor (??) that the sculptor who is working on Juliet may tackle Hurley next.

 

[tbay]

sorry, I just looked at the first page of this thread where you updated that rumor. I kinda feel like I'm one of those people that are constantly preparing for a potential natural disaster. I'll have to buy that fatsuit your recommended just in case!

I know he might be in the pipeline, but Nek he can't wait much longer...
