1/6 SSC Destro

And the necklace is an easy swapout. The hardest part is going to be figuring out a shirt.

This might work.

Didnt even see the issue w/ the neck in swapping out for a new body. Maybe it pops off.

Not really seeing it. Maybe V1 SE's REI sweater with a red collar?

No, the neck is separate, but the issue (we discussed a while back) is having a "collar" for the mask. The Sideshow neck won't work on a muscle bod as their necks are sculpted.

 

[snakeeyes171]

you will have to probably sculpt a neck cover over a bigger body. i think altering the coat where it will tuck in the pants will do and belt will hide the rest.

You can unzip it and show off some chest and the collar is short enough to hide underneath his vest.

But ... if you get some sewing skills ... you can sew the vest collar onto that diver shirt.

Looks good, add the collar from the vest and you got Disco Destro from the 80's I don't think the body/head and neck swap will be that much trouble either.

The material looks great, someone with skills needs to mod that.

I was thinking the materials used on the vest could match this divers' wet-suit top.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I think the neck isn't going to be that tough for most. Between some costume jewelry rings or simply sculpy I'm thinking its not going to be a big deal to add to a muscle truetype

Can't we just cut the rubber neck part off of the TTM and just simply pop in the sideshow neck into the underlying joint? or is it not rubber?

If it's anything built like the TTM 19, then that might work ... might.

 

[spiderrogue]

i just po'd him...will give me time to figure out how to mod him once he shows up...lol...he def. needs the chest showing with the collar...so a new body for sure...

That would look like wide-open, unwiped ***. Especially with it being exposed.

I think its possible to make it look seamless. My concern is whether this is even possible as an option. also, I don't plan on having him bear chested...don't need him to look EXACTLY like the original 3-3/4 fig.

If you don't plan on him being bare-chested, might as well just roll with the stock Sideshow look.

 

[Lord Piper]

I would except the Pro body is crap with those rubber knees, which don't allow the figure to stand on its own. and before you ask, I don't use figure stands.

The days of the floppy Pro bodies are behind us. I've found the rubber knees to be quite the opposite of floppy and loose. They're harder to pose than the clicky knees.

 

[Lord Piper]

I absolutely agree that their bodies aren't floppy any more. however, both my Zartan and Bludd wouldn't keep an upright pose without a stand for longer than a day. It was always the rubber knees that would give. Maybe this is a more isolated issue than i think but its been my experience nonetheless. anyway, I prefer the TT body and I kinda enjoy the futzing that goes with this line anyway.

The ball peg on the TTM-19 sits higher on the torso than on a regular TT He might get a case of giraffe neck.

That's easily countered using a HT neck. The problem is, butchering the torso to use the sideshow neck completely defeats the purpose of going with the exposed look.
