Hot Toys - IT: Chapter 2 1/6 scale Pennywise

[ScoobyDoo]

Dean’s review is the only one I trust. I just watched his mod video as well and he did a much better job than hot toys did.

If it’s 410mm tall then yes. That’s a little over 16 inches. I believe the max height for each shelf in the IKEA’s detolf is about 15 3/4 inches

well , I doubt I will display him standing ramrod straight anyway.

Dean is a brave man for what he did
The collar mod is a must though. He looks soooo much better with the collar raised

 

[Wor-Gar]

Dean Knight's work is stellar. I loved this figure before his mods, but he really took it to another level... and with really 3 simple mods: raise the collar, weather the suit, dump the bodysuit.

Yeah looks like the really flubbed any weathering attempt

Ya gotta get your eyes checked friend.....

So you're telling me these two sculpts are spot on?

Anyone get a shipping email?

Not me. I PO'd day one, literally as soon as SS put it up for order so I thought I'd be in the first batch but nothing yet unfortunately.

The display base is one of the biggest selling points for me and it’s also the one thing I most want to change.
You could easily lose an inch from the bottom section and it’d still do the job amazingly and fit in the majority of detolfs/display cases/shelves etc.

As is, it’s a bit too much of a giant podium. Also, are curbs really tall in the states? Looks like this one would end up being about 7 inches at full scale. They’re only about 4” here. (I know I’m just inviting some ‘that’s what she said’ comments with this topic.)

I’ll potentially pick this up next month- if there aren’t too many Star Wars announcements- to stand beside my Asmus Ash because that also has a massive base and is horror related.
Ash vs Pennywise. Dream match.

US curbs vary a lot.

The collar mod is great, but I'm not a huge fan of that weather technique; the hard edges always feel a bit DIY to me. I've found in the past that if you first wet the material you're weathering, the colours will bleed in and blend with a much subtler and appealing gradient

Yeah generally where I've lived (New Jersey and California), it's at 6-8" typically.

Yeah I soak the whole garment first so that's the weathering flows into the recesses. A dry garment tends to stay on top, especially if the costume has some stiffener in it to aid in sewing.

If I ever pull the trigger on this, the collar and fat suit removal is a must. Like a commentator mentioned, I wish he would have shown how that looked by itself before doing the weathering.

Personally I think you'd get better results weathering the outfit with chalk pastels than paint. But hard to know for sure until I get the figure in hand.

I bet a combo of both techniques would work great for a variation in types of dirt and stains

There are quite a few techniques that can be applied to weathering the suit. I may go the route of using Tea or coffee to give it that older, used distressed look.
