How the hell are you gonna tackle Fat Man, Elvis1976?
You will see soon enough, but he's shaping up really nicely.
How the hell are you gonna tackle Fat Man, Elvis1976?
Here is my WIP PlayArts Snake head rework version based on original concept images (not the in-game look).
First, I disassembled the head to identify the areas I want to work on. And I gathered some reference images for head.
Basically I want to redo the whole head plus front side of Bandana. I don't know about yours, but mine has off-centered wrinkles that look really ugly..
Based on various concept images, I sculpted the new head, made new eyeballs and didsome minor epoxy work on front of bandana. I recasted the rest of head parts.
and this is how it looks before painting. I'll do some small putty work on his hair as well.
This is mostly how I wanted from PlayArts, so it could be different from how you guys envisioned it .

Recieved Play Arts Snake today, it's awesome but not without it's flaws imo.
This was my first play arts figure so I didn't know what to expect.
My initial reaction was the scale is awesome. It offers something different to 1:6 and the neca type of figures! Then after taking out I was pretty let down by how he was positioned in the box, his arms were bent inwards and the pistol silencer was warped, plus his belt sits in a funny position. The knee joints are loose already and i've barely touched them. The paint on the head is also lacking, only slightly, with a small bit of grey on the ears, cheeks and around the mouth area. His pupils are also an orangey colour.
I've watched all the reviews on youtube and looked at countless pics and I don't really think it's a bootleg. Does anyone know how to spot one?
All said and done though it's a great looking figure and i'm happy I bought it! Think i'm going to order Greyfox and the rest of the line!
Man.. are you sure is'nt a Bootleg figure??
I received mine last week and the whole figure is awesome, I can't find any flaws.. all the joints are super tight, (including knees) and the painting is great and detailed, (specially the headsculpt)
However I got Gray fox, and I found some minor painting flaws, but it's great anyways
Edit: The pistol silencer was a just bit bent, but I could straighten it easily and quicly

There are a few points there that pretty much confirm mines a bootleg but how much of the above is true I don't know as i'm pretty sure the bandana isn't poseable!
Does your box have an indented serial number on the bottom of the box? Mine has nothing. Pretty much all the points I posted from the website mine falls into the bootleg category. Oh no lol
