I might do the same, if it isn't too difficult. The vest looks like an easy fix, but the shirt he's wearing underneath looks like it'll need to be tailored to fit more snugly on a regular TT's arm's. As it is, it doesn't even fit snugly on the Chris muscle body. Funny thing is, he'll look awfully weird next to the roided out BSAA Chris.

There is a chance that I'll just leave him as is. For some reason, I feel as if the STARS outfit actually makes the figure's proportions look better than it does on the BSAA figure.

Overall, I feel like HT got the proportions totally wrong for the character (the inexpensive NECA toy got it right). But I can understand the reasons behind it. No point in engineering a totally new body for one character (although they did it for Hellboy) when an existing one would do.

I wonder if I could reshape Chris' chest by shaving off the huge Dutch-y man breasts.


Don't think it will be too hard. I'm more worried about the vest than the shirt.
the shirt i can tighten up using some fabric glue along the back of the shirt, and the arms can be tightened up in the armpits in the same way. The vest is going to be the clincher. it will either work, or it won't.
 
I wish HT would have given him (and Sheva) his melee and bulletproof vest gear. Same with Leon.
 
generaly 3-5 months after everyone else with hot toys stuff.

When Leon kennedy came out in november of 2007, sideshow shipped him in Feb of 2008

Does this mean chris will be at sideshow within 2 days?
 
Well, they will process the order on 11/6, and they usually ship the same day, so I would say yes, they will have the Chris Redfield figure in two days...I suspect they may be in the warehouse right now, getting prepped for shipping.

They are probably shipping them today. I called Sideshow customer service yesterday to ask Sideshow to hold mine for financial reasons until my next paycheck. The rep I talked to said I called just in time as my order had already been pre-authorized and was ready to ship. I have mine on hold to be shipped next Friday, but I'm almost positive that all orders pre-authorized yesterday shipped out today.

Looking forward to your review! This is one of those figures that I like in spite of the source material. I didn't love Resident Evil 5.

I'm not even a gamer, but I know a cool figure when I see one, plus, when I saw Sheva I knew I'd have to get her, then it seems silly to not to get Wesker... sigh... abandon all hope, ye who collect Hot Toys!:lol

I like this pic most.
Speaking of his muscle arm, my Chris's right shoulder is a bit loose. One day it pop off while I was posing. I inspected inside. No surprice, his ball cup crack. :rolleyes: just like someone Goemon ankle joint.
