Everything looks crisp in this pic. I'm really impressed with this figure.
By the way, I have the same base/stand on my custom Deckard. I'll most likely be using it on this one, too.

Did he say how much it would cost to do the belt and holster?

I have a pair of jewelry pliers that use in this situation. You can find them at hobby stores.
I usually take the coat and any undershirts off first and stuff the sleeves into the coat before putting back on the figure. I then use the pliers to pull the sleeves down inside the coat sleeve. Jewelry pliers are small and have smooth jaws that won’t damage the fabric.
No, he needs some reference pics first so he knows what he’s making but I think it’ll just be a simple belt in a similar material as the holster.

Well guys, received mine two days ago from KGHobby, shipping took 15 days with no additional customs fee, so that's a plus. Figure out of the box is impressive. Main defect is the body, clearly a chep one, even if the double bend at the elbows is always welcome. I'll have to retie the tie and water treat the coat.
I really think that the tie and the coat and the coat's belt would benefit from some wiring. I might try to insert some small metal wire along the edged, even if I have no clue on how to do it as I never did it before.
Accessory wise mine came with a unglued badge and the origami horse is all twisted, paws and horn are all bent, will have to heat it and try to straighten them.
And then of course there's the sculpt opacity problem. You get some pretty interesting light effects by sticking a led inside of the sculpt...
I'll share pictures in the coming days.

Does the head paint job or color look really bad? I see most collectors pics have been great but yet almost everyone say the head has to be posed in certain lighting?

Sorry for the late response. Ive been pretty busy at work. This is the body I am using, the one on the left . I have no idea of the model name or brand. Also a pic compared to the one Dark Toys gave us (I am not sure if this is, since I threw it in a box with other bodies 
. Someone can confirm?). The head sits lower and closer to the body.

The paint job looks great in person and low light pictures but for some reason with flash the paint looks weird.

I think I'm near the end of this customising odyssey.
From the top down the only thing I haven't changed/customised/painted is the sports jacket and the badge (which I may make a more accurate bi-fold later on). Really happy this figure exists and for all the work its been, I look at it and love the representation without question.

Amazing work! You really brought out the likeness in the sculpt and the body looks great too.

Brilliant! If they ever did a Deckard 2.0 they could use yours as a template.
Finally ordered one of these...looking forward to having it in a few wks
That’s a COO Model body. Probably a 001 their standard body. I have at least 10 of them on hand, it’s my usual bodyswap go to.Sorry for the late response. Ive been pretty busy at work.

What was the neck mod you did, again? I could use it on a separate figure I've been working on. Thanks.

Ahh I took then inner ring out, then sliced about 4mm off the base of the neck, cut a section out of the ring to reduce the size then pop the ring back in. You've then got to reduce the size of the connecting piece that goes inside so that it holds but doesn't stretch out the neck. Then heat up the connecting piece and reconnect it. This someone elses method that was posted in here, which I adapted mine to. So credit to the original poster of this method, it's far better than my hacky one.
