Medicom RAH figure arrived today. I LOVE the coat, as well as the Tricorn and baldric buckle. Pics soon! Also received a second set of DX15 headsculpts. Having so much fun!

Just picked up a Medicom figure via eBay for $120. looking to supplement my existing Sparrow figures!

Without pics to support this post... I received my DX15 today. I'm also an owner of the DX06. I love Captain Jack so very much that I paid a king's ransom for this one. I'd always wanted it, but missed out at the time it was selling for retail. My quick reaction is that I'm completely...

Looks fantastic. How?d the ears and rangefinder turn out? In for 2 copies, if that?s the route you take. You should also think about scaling it up for the 1/4 scale figures. I?ve purchased several from a trusted vendor, but it was through Shapeways and the thinness/scan lines made it unworkable.

I have the Sideshow scout and the speeder bike. And now have the V2 Luke. I haven?t attempted to put Luke on the bike yet, simply because I fear that the ?all in one? head/neck sculpt won?t allow him to recreate the film (looking upwards). Similarly, with my scout, in order to have things look...

Holy cow. Sideshow is a mess. The figure is decent. I?m excited for mine. But it was cringeworthy watching this (I watched 49 minutes of it). Helmet is okay, at best. Better than their first attempt, but still behind Hot Toys ESB/PP2. Armor looks REALLY nice. Light years ahead of their first...

I?ll get something up. Right now I?m just checking it out. I didn?t get the previous version, so this is a completely new figure for me.

Mine shipped yesterday and I just picked it up a few minutes ago.

Matrix, yes, the helmet order is 2007 Sideshow, Custom 1/4, Hot Toys 1/4. I honestly don?t recommend modifying any of the 1/6 helmets. There?s no way to make them accurate, at that scale, because for every improvement you make, you?ll be throwing off some other aspect of the helmet. And...

Same helmet as Ahab's, above. Yes, it's really that rough. Some material that is offered is higher quality, but for the 1/4 scale, this is the only material available. I spent about two hours, first with sandpaper, then a hobby knife, just trying to get the lines off of the dome. I eventually...

Matrix, I?ve purchased several. They were created by a friend of mine on TDH. They?re VERY hard to work with, for several reasons. One, the scan lines are atrocious, and the material they?re made from is very difficult to sand down without significant loss of detail. Second, the helmets were...

But you?re using, as reference for that analysis, two COMPLETELY un-futzed figures. Had either one of them been in ?natural? poses, with the cloth parts futzed with, instead of straight out of the box, I think things would look QUITE different. This desire for one to be better than the other...

Oh, Matrix, you wily devil...you think I wouldn?t see this?? Lol, kidding. Looks phenomenal. I?ve been quietly getting multiple versions of Boba Fett together from various sourced parts. First, I LOVE you incorporating the Marmit gloves. They?re vastly superior to everything but the Medicom...

Full helmet repaint in ESB colors...

What exactly were you going for, and what mods have you used? Looks like the Hot Toys helmet on the Sideshow V2? If that’s the Hot Toys jetpack, it looks like you used the SS V2 rocket?
