No idea. I posted it in the Star Wars section and it was moved here.

I just took this photo to show how the color matched the rest of his body. I know he is not perfect, but I think for now I will hold off. I'd hate to get right back in there and actually make it worse.

This was the main photo I was using to try to match the color palette to. It was pretty much the clearest photo I can find of his upper torso and head. I definitely see what you mean about putting in a little more orange. I might just go very lightly on there so it stands out better but not go...

Thanks for pointing out the orange tint. I did some very light tones at the end but still need to bump it up. I added a little darker detail to the eyes, but nothing major. I'm deathly planning to go back in there and put in a little more detail. I don't think I'm going to touch the lower...

Thanks guys! Many many layers of washes, layering and detailing. Not a complete repaint though.

Thanks guys. I'd almost be afraid to track down old Ben and palpatine because I assume hot toys will do them both.

I've been enjoying repainting a few figures recently and was hoping to come across a few more figures that were sculpted well but ruined by a cheap paint job. I have already reworked Jabba and Bib Fortuna so I'm hoping to find a few others besides them. Any suggestions?

Re: Hooper's Bib Fortuna Re-paint Had some time to kill so I took my first crack at Jabba tonight Feedback is very much welcome

Re: Hooper's Bib Fortuna Re-paint Thanks guys. Here is a side by side for anyone who isn't familiar with the original paint job.

I LOVE my Jabba set, but as you can imagine now with the Hot Toys quality of paint jobs, the Bib Fortuna leaves A TON to be desired. I got sick of looking at his pasty, pale plastic look and gave him a little life. I hope you enjoy. Comments and tips welcome. This is my first repaint...

I came. Across that tread last night. I was bummed I missed it lol. If anyone has this set for sale, lmk :)

Looking to pick up a few statues before the new movie hits. I don't have any one in particular in mind, so if you have something and the price is great/good/fair please let me know.

I am going to start the insane task of collecting Marvel Hot Toys. I had a few questions: 1: what are the top 3-5 pieces (figures and/or sets) that are considered must haves? 2: which pieces are worth avoiding? Either poor production or poor likeness. 3: how often should I expect to need to...

Does anyone have both this figure and the Avengers version in hand together? I have the chance to pick one or the other up at around the same price, so I am not sure with which one to go with. I have seen the avengers version in person when it came out and I loved it, but haven't seen TWS in...
