Finally! The pics aren't great...seemed no matter what I tried I just couldn't get consistent quality or a completely crisp pic of the entire figure.
Of course my favorite look is the Sunbow/'84 figure look, but the sweater and knit cap look grew on me, too.
I miss the tattoo, but I didn't want to mess with changing arms and all that...haven't explored how the joints are put together and if they come apart. I do wish he had the hinged hands so he could hold his guns better. I'll probably try to find a better shotgun at some point.
Various head shots:
For some reason in these pics, he looks sad to me, like at the end of Springfield part 2.
Close ups of Polly:
Just a plastic parrot I got in a package of birds...don't even remember where. Everything that's now green used to be blue, and I fixed up his eyes and feet. Probably not accurate to any real parrot out there and isn't 100% the Sunbow version, either, but I like how he came out.
I doubt I'll really do any other 12" customs...who knows...it was just one of those things I needed to try because Shipwreck just wasn't himself.
It was definitely easier than the smaller scales, but I just don't like the proportions of these figures. Barrel chested and skinny hipped, and toothpick legs. I had to use superglue in the ankle joints (moving the joint while it cured) to stiffen them up so he could stand on his own because he's so top heavy. I'd love to know how the Sideshow figs compare! If they come out with Shipwreck...I'm all over that!
