That's great news! At this point, the very minor color issues can be fixed with mild dye baths or even lighting! lol...

(I'm just referring to the fact that the grid shirt should be light gray, and the vest should be burnt orange, not red orange. But of course, these are so minor, it's probably just best to do nothing.)

I love the new vest. I wouldn't want it any more orange than it is now. Looks perfect to me.

Ditto, literally!

[Maglor]

Hmm, I don't have any slim hands...

 

[MarfMaster]

Hmm, I don't have any slim hands...

I interpreted that as "slim scale," which I consider Bruce Lee sized. They're a tad bit smaller than the standard HT hands, I got a pair of relaxed for Marty.

I love the new vest as well... well, overall, that is. The cut, collar, and new material is absolutely beautiful. And although the color is definitely better than the previous version, the screen-used vest was indeed more orange.

I'd like it to be more accurate to the film, but I guess that's too much to ask for at this point. It will still look great, don't get me wrong, but it just won't be as close as it could have been.

 

[Maglor]

Guess I just like red better than orange.

A lot of guys moded their Joker overcoat liners to be orange, but I just like the look of red on my shelf better.

 

[Entropy]

Odd. I like the color purple but that doesn't mean Marty's vest should be violet.

on screen accuracy above all else!

 

[Maglor]

Shelf presence > screen accuracy.

Obviously purple would look retarded on the shelf and nobody would even recognize it as Marty, but an orange that is 2 clicks away from what it looks like on your TV is something else entirely. I think the new color is better than the first attempt, but any more orange and I'm afraid that I'm only gonna think 'traffic cone' when I see him.

 

[Entropy]

any more orange and I'm afraid that I'm only gonna think 'traffic cone' when I see him.

or 'life preserver'.

 

[Maglor]

Yep. I don't want a modern day life preserver on my shelf. (Although I wouldn't kick her out of my collection room...)

And although a side character thought the vest was reminiscent of a life preserver, it wasn't one and shouldn't look like one.
