Great figure overall, I hate the wrist pegs had one snap off but other than that no complaints great figure!

What kind of pegs does he use, might need some back ups.
Exact copy of HT ones for muscle bodies.
Might have some of those sitting around somewhere then.

Picked up my Boy Black after work. Nice figure, also broke a peg, took forever to take it out.
Don't know what to do with that additional blade, whatever.

So is this the "official thread"? or the other one?
I'll share my "review" and pics here aswell
1/6 Art Figures 018 – Boy Black aka Vin Diesel as Riddick from the Riddick Trilogy.
I had my doubts after the first promoshots of ordering this figure,
But after having it in hand, no regrets at all!
Art Figures hits another home run!
like-emoticon
Sometimes the headsculpts of Art Figures, are not quite accurate, somtimes they have a cartoony feel to them.
But with Riddick I haven’t had that at all, he looks great!
Only his eyes could have been done better, with a different paintjob (something that would shine a bit more maybe) that would pop, but it isn’t bad for sure!
I am affraid tho, that with the goggles, if you maybe move them up and down too much, that it can rub the paint of the headsculpt or if you keep the goggles on too long, it can leave paint of the goggles itself.
But that’s something that can only be found out after a while to be sure.
The body is great, especially the skinetone goes great with the headsculpt, the only thing that bothers me is that his upperarms seem a bit thin.
It could be that they chose for this on purpose, cause that way the arms look more flat next to the body, instead of giving it the look he is carrying something around under his armpits all the time.
From the side, you won’t notice it that much, but when your looking at the figure from the front, you will notice the skinny upper arms for sure.
I also broke 3 handpegs during posing, so becareful of that!
Be sure to heat up the arms/hands before changing them.
What surpised me, is that you get a total of 5 hands, 2 voor the Ulaks/Knife/Dagger, 2 bendable hands (which is a sure thing for Art Figures) and only 1 right fist, why no left one?
About his outfit there isn’t much to complain about, his tanktop forms nicely onto his body,
The armgauntlets are a bit tight, but with some effort you can use them to cover up the joints at the hands and elbows.
His cargopants are nice, not to tight and not to baggy, only his boots, don’t really allow you to pose.
His boots don’t come with their own peghole, but there is an actually foot inside the boot, so it can move around quite a bit in the boot, which can cause it to stand unstable, since there isn’t a display stand provided.
The weapons are really nicely done, the Irgun knife is sadly made of plastic, where as the other weapons are made of metal like the Ulaks.
I don’t know the name of the other dagger/sword, it looks like a saberclaw, but not quite.
The handcuffs are made of plastic, and you can take them apart, just like in the movies when Riddick breaks out of them, which is a nice touch and offers some more display options.
His backpack with waterhose looks good, and you can store the Ulaks in them quite nicely, the only missing thing, is his breather on his belt, which would have completed the look.
In short a really well made , good looking figure with very few cons.
I am already looking forward to what Art Figures will bring us next!
Enjoy the pics!

Got back from holidays and riddick was there to greet me.
Cool figure wich needed just some extra work to be awesome.
I already customized mine but first my feelings out of the box, then i talk about What i did.
The quality is up there with hot toys, tailoring and sculpts quality is top notch
First the body is great on its own, i love the sculpt and paint app but its completely wrong for riddick, way to skinny.
Would have loved to see the same sculpt quality on a bigger body as hot toys ttm20 (wich kinda lack muscle définition, are too smooth).
The hands are a bit too big for my taste, and i hate the gap they have with the wrists.
The headsculpt is almost there, it works ok with the goggles but without it its a bit meh.
I have the simplz toys headsculpt and its been my favorite vin diesel hs so far, the yet to be released ace toys hs looks like a winner too.
The boots are a bit too soft, but its kinda cool because it gives a bit more poseability.
The pants, harness, blades, shirt, blades, goggles, handcuffs (wich i Will use for my pitch black riddick) are perfect.
Sadly they forgot the breather that he has on his harness belt
So What did i modified?
First i changed the body, i used a ttm20 with single elbow joint muscular arms from Bane´s body.
Its fits much better riddick ´s physique.
I cut the extra flesh on the hands and dremeled them so that they dont show such a big gap with the wrists.
I took ttm20 hands as reference.
Im still toying with the idea of dremeling the headsculpt a bit to have a better fit on the ttm20 body, but ill wait for the ace toys sculpt first as it Will probably be the one i end up using.
iPad pics so proportion are a bit frakked up

That does indeed look very nice. Bane body seems to be the way to go.
Where did you order from in Europe? That was an extremly fast stock for Europe.

Hey guys I did a kit bash bane with this body. I may need to get another boy black figure lol I might keep him this way.

Thanks.
Précision its not a bane body, but a t800 body.
Its a ttm20 with the double jointed arms swapped with single jointed bane arms i had around.
You can also try a body that was sold with the mms136 (tech noir TERMINATOR) or mms117 (TERMINATOR 2), they come with the single joint arms.
I ordered from hk kghobby, try them or onesixthkit
Nice pics, LEENART! You've got some camera skills - how's your customising work?
Sizes don't work (in my opinion), Olbert - putting a pea-head onto a large body I mean - you need to come to the darkside and I'm speaking from experience here... RECAST RESIZE & REPAINT them to better match!
