Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
I used the photo on the box art to setup my sash. It appears to be tied correctly (based on the box) but due to the stiffness of the material, it doesn't fold over in scale. I'm sure if I use an iron on it, it will look much better but I just haven't gotten around to doing so. (and I'm a little hesitant to risk damaging it...)

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
I use a combination with the belts to get it on right.
Granted this is a 1 belt shot from Curse, but it's a good reference and large.
What I do is wrap it a couple times around the waist such that I have enough excess left to have the long bit hanging down to his boot and the flap to fold over his scabbard.
Once I get to that point, I fold the sash so the excess runs down to his feet and I put the first belt on to hold it in place.
Then I pull up some of the excess to make the folded bit to go over the scabbard and I lay that on his abdomen and put the second belt on to hold the fold in place.
Then i put the scabbard on, put the fold over it and walla.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
thanks sean, this character is like my Indiana Jones... i keep on wanting to customize him till i get the perfect jack... i'm hoping for a defintive Jack sculpt, but as of right now i'll have to settle with the HT smiling sculpt.. but even that has a bunch of flaws.. one of the main flaws that bugs me is the bandanna, its way too big, it covers too much forehead, if that even makes sense lol. i hope to add real hair to this guy, can't stand the sculpted hair. and with jack it seems pretty easy since his hair is long.
anyone got any good johnny depp sculpt suggestions?
and heres some pics of my jack sparrow headsculpt.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
The biggest flaw I find with the smiling head is just that, it's more smiling than smirking, which doesn't seem right for Jack.
This is Johnny Depp smirking, one side of his face looks almost pissed, only one side is smiling, but the HT sculpt is a bit of smile on both sides.

Get the xenoviper faceplate.
Looks absolutely perfect to me. Jack is the Depp likeness master.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
That looks great. Did you repaint it? I do prefer the smiling face sculpt over the AWE sculpt. Which is the one I have. And I cant find a Cannibal Jack for a decent price anywhere.
That is true. Hopefully Hot Toys will do a better Jack sculpt with a DX edition around the release of the 4th movie!
Info on this please?

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
That's pretty good. Especially the PERS, but it looks to be a lot of work even after getting the sculpt/cast. I think Ill just wait for HT do (hopefully) do a DX. But that is a great custom alternative!

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
Might have to pay someone to make it for you, I don't imagine HT'll ever use a sculpted neck for Sparrow, and a lot of customs like xeno's will be geared towards people wanting replacement options for the HT figures.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
Slim is the way to go, I was glad I could score one for each of my Jack's. If HT makes a new Jack, if it's not on the slim, I just hope the tailoring will allow it to be transplanted, the v1 Jack clothes really don't work on the slim, that's why I use my Medicom coat, that and it's just the better of the two.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
i also notice the different looks jacks has between part 1 and 2,3.. especially the bandanna.. i think jack's bandanna covers more hair in the later movies, even with that said the hot toys covers wayy too much.. makes him look like an alien.
compared to CotBp, its not the exact angle but you get the picture.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
Pirates was one of the first full iicenses once Yulli came on board, she's certainly made strides since then. Hell, between 2009 and 2010, her work on T-800 looks even better than her Dutch portrait.
One thing that'll really be better on Jack's portrait done today will be the paint, the old Jack's were pretty monotone and looked like it was his skin color, rather than a mix of tanning and dirt and such, with the weathering paint they do today, it'll look stellar.

Re: Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Thread
It's pretty good, but the pulled back shot showing the whole head shows the hair looking like too much for the head, his face looks tiny relative to it, and I even feel like the HT hair almosts seems too bulky compared to the face.
