yeah dunno what's goin on with the prices... $250+ for a third party paint plain clothed figure is nutty. The paint apps are no where near good enough to justify that. Yeah it has 3 sculpts but I wouldn't even use 2 of them as they look weird.

The price didn't even increase though. Where are you guys seeing a price increase.

It went from $254 to $255 on OSK. I wouldn't really call that a price increase 
. I never checked anywhere else, so couldn't say if anyone else increased.

Bearded sculpt looks like a recast of the TZ figure, only with worse paint apps
Got mine today set is fantastic!
I also had a spare mars sculpt sitting around, I really can't say enough how good the tailoring etc is.
Few cons
Eyes are too over glossed.
Hat has already left a mark on sculpt.
Glasses are not the best.
However it's a really nice set and plenty of variety.

Mine arrived today also.
Been doing plenty of prep since the PO dropped so I could assemble an ep1 Walt straight away.
Started by getting a body with single jointed legs and decent details. Only problem was the upper body having a neck so did a transplant which actually worked out great as the top half appears it’ll be ideal for a Chester Bennington I’ve been intending to make for ages. So many tattoos to draw…
This helped shorten the Walt body as well which was very much needed.
Those legs looked very pale and plasticky though so I painted them up and drew some hair on. Walt also needed a bit a chubbying up.
Once the Topo set arrived, he also required some more upper body mass. More traps and gut.
I ended up removing the arm pads and one circle of belly as I went way too buff.
The legs really shine in natural light imo.
I wanted to use the Topo gun holding hand, which has a magnet fitted inside- so I just shoved a small screw in the wrist slot and it attaches to that great.
Wish Topo included a second left hand and another pair of glasses though.
The finished Tighty (Walter) Whiteys figure.
Really happy with that.
The shoes and socks aren’t a perfect match so I may mod them further in future but, for now, they look more than good enough.
The actual Topo figure itself is better than expected. No need to swap the sculpt if you don’t have a custom already imo.
Oh, my box was beaten to hell when it arrived- but I got a $10 reward on my scratch card from OSK so that makes up for it.

That's awesome stuff turned out amazing! Definitely paid off modding it for that look.
Chopper where did you get that Chester sculpt? Been trying to find one for a while on eBay. I've got an oversized singing version

Couldn’t tell you at this point.Chopper where did you get that Chester sculpt? Been trying to find one for a while on eBay. I've got an oversized singing version
I bought it off a Chinese eBay store a a fair while before the pandemic. Maybe it’s still available on Ali express?
Had an outfit almost as long. It’s purely the time and labour required to draw all of his tattoos that’s been holding me up all this time.
I could just fully dress him but don’t want to cop out like that.
At least this body finally means I now have a satisfactory canvas for all that body art.

Mine was delivered this afternoon. I'm impressed. Particularly with the tailoring. I've got several plainclothes-type suit-ish figures -- Two Face, Bank Robber Joker. This is the best and most natural tailoring I've seen. Comparable to the Blitzway Tyler Durden, which is great. Sculpts are solid. Plenty of variety. The Pilot sculpt is better in person than it looks in the pics (the glasses throw it off a little). Good detail -- the wedding ring is a nice touch. Good scaling -- no clown feet or anything. I don't know if I'll bother changing the shirts, even though I kinda prefer the dark green, nose bandage, post-Gus look.
Accessories are good enough. The sunglasses look better than the eyeglasses ... might look to upgrade those. Otherwise, no complaints. The wood base is really nice.
Been waiting years for a decent WW -- never could quite get myself to pull the trigger on Mars or Threezero. Finally found one. And, the price wasn't half-bad.

See my more detailed post above that could start you off on the journey to a tight whiteys Walt.
The legs come from the parted out body of a ZCWO figure.
Socks are readily available of AliExpress and I bought the undies and shoes separately as well, although they technically aren’t the correct style since they have an arch and defined heel instead of a flat, single-piece sole.
They’re fabric though and look good enough that it doesn’t bother me.

Received a new regular pair of glasses for this today.
I decided I really want the ‘Say my name’ look and to show off the excellent stubble of the Topo head.
Definitely worth it for a few quid.
Only just realised Walt has a bit of an evil smile when you look at him head on.
But appears completely frowny from the left side.
Now I feel the character arc is properly represented.
We start with plain old tighty whiteys Walt just beginning to break bad, then we see the Heisenberg persona being crafted and worn as an alias and disguise; an alter-ego to distance himself from the criminal component of his double life- represented by the transitional bust- and finally, Walt sheds the costume and façade, for he and Heisenberg are now one and the same.

Hey Chopper Face, great photos and setup. You indirectly convinced me to pull the trigger. Quick question, where did you get the custom eye glasses?
Chopper Face

Thanks. You shouldn’t regret it. The mere presence of the Topo figure even elevates Present Toys Jesse.
Got the spare specs from Ali Express. I went with silver frames.

That tighty-whitey Walt is just one of the best customs I've ever seen!!! It's just awesome, Chopper! Great job!
I can just imagine how those bare legs 'pop' on the shelf.

Cheers.
I’m really proud of it- and his bare legs are now more eye catching than most of the sculpts in my collection.
The knee seem isn’t even visible at normal viewing distance.
If only Mars Toys could release that damn Gus to complete the set.

Wow, that's a lot more work than I expected. Nicely done!
The pilot episode Walt is awesome mate, great job on the legs.
I want to like this but i just can't, i hope a good company does justice to him one day. Maybe Inart or Mars Toys revisits again i dont know... I just can't believe there isn't a good Walter White figure out there.
