Excellent customs! I can't wait until nanjin make the uniforms available and I'm glad to know the TTL is a smidge taller. I was thinking of getting the TTL 3.0 (when it is released) for my Spock as well. BTW, Scotty was skinny on TOS, so you might not need to use the belly padding on him (you can always save it for Kirk). Are the shoulders on the TTL body similar to the narrow shoulder TT?
You're right and wrong about Scotty
At the beginning, Scott had a tummy...he lost it somewhere between the second and third seasons, and he was really thin at the end. But he also had a different haircut at the end, so i just went with an early Scotty look. Actually, I'm also considering switching McCoy over to a TTL as well...he looks a little TOO thin for my taste, but I'm waiting to see how he looks in Nanjin's sweet uniforms. You may not have noticed, but I also painted on McCoy's pinkie ring
. As far as the padding, it's simple...it's a makeup removal cotton pad folded in half and taped to the bottom of the torso. Voila! So I can always make another, and I probably will.
The shoulders have a similar range of movement, if that's what you mean, but they do it differently. And they have this kindof...sleeve over the shoulder joint. But they work just fine. And as far as being similar in width to a narrow TT, yup. They're about the same width. And I have a narrow TT saved for Kirk.
I know Spock's head fit perfect on the Hot Toys head post. Was there any problem fitting the head on the TTL 2.0 neck? It looks more like a Dragon neck than a Hot Toys.
they're a little bit smaller in circumference than the HT toys necks, so I had to wrap a layer of electrical tape around the peg before putting on the head. But once I did that, it was fine. Now as a side note, it would look funky if the necks on the uniforms weren't tight...the color difference is noticeable, as is the change in size. but with the TOS uniforms covering the joint, they're just fine.
Thanks for the kind words, guys! If anyone would like me to paint their heads, I wouldn't mind doing it...I find it really relaxing. How much does that usually go for?
