I got the e-mail from sideshow this morning that he is shipping soon, has asmus fixed the issues with this guy? I'm not a customizer and don't want a project. Should I keep or cancel?
 
A little something Mike had brewing up for me should be arriving soon:

I'd like to grab the asmus torn shirt eventually as well. I like to think of the non-torn shirt as the "groovy" version lol
 
I actually planned to get a spare shirt with sleeve and weather it up again and tare it up as I'll be able to give it a better look then what Asmus did. Lol
That's definitely a better plan, that way you can add more accurate rips as alot of the excess material from the torso rip is tucked to the side under the webbing and has a few pieces hanging over

The stock figure is still sub par and only shines with extensive mods, which you can clearly see by all the talented folks displaying theirs on this thread. I myself cancelled the figure since it looked way too toy-ish for my tastes.

Makes sense, yea. Maybe I'll go that route as well.

My SS order is apparently arriving tomorrow. Had to pay $77 for duties (in Canada) :(
 
I got my Ash from SS today:

I swapped that terrible body out first thing. I still need to add the stomach scratches and grime though. I got the bald Henrietta with my set and in a separate box the improved version.

For some odd reason I like this set after opening and displaying it. Maybe because I like the movies so much, I don’t know. If you were on the fence about this figure like I was I recommend getting it first before deciding to return/cancel your order.

In the end I can’t help feeling what this figure could have been. I’m definitely keeping mine though. Like a toxic relationship or something I think I can fix him. 😂
 
Whelp, he finally arrived from SS today. Delayed 6-7 weeks, for reasons unknown. :unsure:

Courier almost forgot the smaller box on his truck, and showed up a few mins later to deliver it. Oh boy, a free give away! What could that be?

SS sent the stickers unapplied, as well as the correctly haired and painted Henrietta in a separate box. Can't decide if I'll apply the stickers or not.

They also sent the original bald Henrietta. It wasn't just the hair that was missing on her. The paint apps are completely different, and there are more visible seams on the arm. Also, it appears to be cast as one solid piece, whereas the revised edition ships with the head and arm separated. I'll be removing the regular head at some point, and attaching the pee wee version from SS Ash, in a non-permanent way.

Threw everything together very quickly, just to suss out what I was going to use. I'd always planned on giving the base to SS Ash. That vice stand is super wonky btw.

Used the rest to make a Possessed Ash (I'll tuck the shirt in once I figure out how to undo the belt). Ordered a more poseable body, and pointing left hand, from Monkey Depot. Also ordered an axe. Wish I could find a small magnifying glass necklace though.

Here's how they fit in a detolf side by side. Quick & dirty. Haven't futzed, or customized anything yet.

As for the leftovers, I do have plans so that nothing goes to waste ;)

As for all my complaints about the wonky eyes, they're so small that you really don't notice them in person. It's really only in photos that they show up so clearly. All in all, for what I plan to do with these parts, I'm fairly satisfied. Was it overpriced? Hell yes. But I'm too big an ED nerd to have ever passed this up.
