1/6 SSC Snake Plissken Figure

[Xenu2112]

Actually pretty impressive, digging the map.

Thanks. Took some of the gang names from The Warriors & Streets of Fire, since only a couple gangs are mentioned by name in EFNY. I thought it fit.

Love it Xenu! Nice job

Thought I'd share this with you guys. Been working on a diorama display for Snake & wanted to post some pics. Not sure how complete it is; I may add some more stuff (I'd really like to make some old-school blinky computer consoles), but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I know it's not exactly movie-accurate, but neither is the figure, so what the hell. Hope you guys dig it.

Bravo!!

That's a SAWEET diorama!

I wonder if Stevostoys might produce a good leather belt rig?

Just received Snake, first impressions mixed. I agree with much of Michael Crawford's review now I have him in hand. My main disappointment is with the quality of the accessories (those that I've looked at anyway) which seem desperately cheap. The outfit I can live with, certainly the camo pants aren't as freshly washed bright as they appear in some pics. Not sure about the body yet (May try switching it out), but the hands don't match in tone and are all different shades from heavy tan to deathly white - very poor. The headsculpt looks much better in person, but damn is that hard to capture in pics. As others have pointed out, Snake is far from photogenic but have attached a few initial pics. As a fan I'm glad I picked him up, but definitely looking forward to seeing what I can do to improve him.

Nice video.

Pretty cool showcase from DeanKnight . . .

Thanks for sharing that - reinforces that the sculpt is OK & it's the paint job that ruins it.

Yup that was a favorable review insomuch as it highlights the strengths of the figure, rather than it's weaknesses--that many including myself seem to get wrapped up with. Happy to have this in my collection.

Just got mine today... 30 seconds out of the box and applying the lightest of pressure I managed to break the left arm at the elbow! And what gives with the pouches? This could have been an epic figure, but the QC and the poor quality accessories make it useful as a base for customisers only.
Sideshow, why have you foresaken us???

 

[HAL9000.]

First of all - I like the figure. . . and I like Sideshow, of course. So, now that's clear - holy hell this figure is not up to standard. Such a shame. I'm just glad I snapped him up at a very good price and will watch this thread to get ideas for mods. I can't even bend the arms on my figure - does anyone have any advise for that? They're so stiff I think they might break with any force. So jealous of the pictures with his arms bent/angled! Ha!

 

[HAL9000.]

Yeah, but knowing my luck he'll end up like Mr fantastic or Mr Tickle. . . I'm going to have to sit down with him once I'm in a zen like state, with all the patience in the world, and have a few hours spare!

 

[EVILFACE]

Put him in the freezer, frees up the stuck joints.

[EVILFACE]

Laugh but it works.

 

[Snake Plissken]

How exactly? I'd think it would only shrink the joints and make them even more snug.

 

[Snake Plissken]

A few seconds with a hairdryer seems like a lot less effort, and a lot less dangerous...

People are getting that effect right out of the box. This thing LOVES broken arms at the elbow.

 

[HAL9000.]

I've just had another look = those arm joints are SOLID. Gggrrr. The shoulder joints click. . . sigh.

Like the Threezero breaking Bad argument - I personally think it's still good for the money and open to modding! Like I said - looking forward to seeing the mods, but I think I'll buy an extra jacket etc and rub it down/weather it, rather that wreck the one I have.

I will try all your advise about the joints. Cheers!
