The DIE HARD Thread

[earthdog]

To anyone using a Temple of Doom body, how do you attach feet to that?

And what feet are you using?

Well, after months of pulling together parts here and there and some help from various board members, I've finally completed my two John McClane figures.

My buddy is still looking to get the IRIS clothing set and an MJ Choi head if there is any one out there who is selling.

Sorry for the point and shoot pics. All my cameras are on the camera truck for my current gig.

The MJ Heads are a perfect fit. I really don't know what the body is on the second one, as I never asked. It was purchased mostly complete.

I'm super happy with the way these came out. A great addition to my collection.

Another SDCC goes by without official Die Hard figures.

Anyone have the MJ clone head they want to part with? I didn't quite like the paints on the current ones on ebay and prefer the earlier release version. PM me. Thanks!

I had the original MJ Choi for sale. $ 200,00.

I'm thinking about attempting a custom McClane from the first movie.

This seems to be the best sculpt available but can anyone tell me which bodies work best?
The weapons and vest seem easy enough to find on eBay but not sure which pants I should be looking for.

Hi everyone, need help! Where I can get the accurate 1/6 Walkie-talkie in Die hard 1? Thanks

 

[sj2106]

Has anyone seen this?

Looks pretty good for a third party but wish they'd do a part one version....unless they have and I missed it.

The HT Phil Coulson walkie talkie is pretty similar to one in Die Hard, here is one on ebay.

Just need to snip off a bit of the aerial.

I got mine on a Art Figures Soldiers Of Fortune 3, body. Pretty good joints and kind of matches Bruce's physique.
The trousers are just regular business grey trousers would be able to find on ebay.
Hers what my two figs look like on the AF body.

Thank's for the info. Body looks great and the realistic looking feet. Love the blood effect to. Sorry to be picky but shouldn't he be holding the gun in the other hand?

 

[shells075]

Yeah your right I always forget Bruce is a lefty.

Sorry for necro-bumping this thread, but I wanted to ask what everyone was using for their pants? I wanted to update my McClane, and all the suit pants ive found have either been the wrong color or too baggy.

For a while people were using Harvey Dent pants, they seemed like a good fit but I couldn't find them. Then I saw a post on facebook by Chris Donaldson, he had painted some black pants with a grey acrylic paint and they looked great. Not sure which pants he used but it seemed like an easy way to get grey pants.

I did the same to a pair of black suit pants from the wolverine MMS220 figure and I'm really happy with mine. It was just a neutral grey that I airbrushed onto the pants.

I don't have a pic of mine yet, but here is Chris' version (I saved the pic from his post on One Sixth Republic):

Wow, that actually looks pretty sweet.

I'm a bit OCD when it comes to details; and John's pants have a pretty unique looking fit (well fitted without being too tight) that looks wrong if its off. Its hard to tell how something will look in 1/6 unless you actually have it in hand.

A lot of people previously used ACI Mao pants. I used HT BR joker pants and they were perfect ! If you want to have a look, I'll upload some pics once I'm home.
