Recondo kit bash suggestions?

[MrLawless1]

Thanks King and Nam! The more I look at him, yeah, that body is just too brittle... Any suggestions for a body to purchase that'll hold that head? TrueTypePro?

 

[King Darkness]

Hot Toys TT are great but more expensive. You can get Pro 1.2 for $10 from Monkey Depot or Toy Anxiety.

falcon body is needed, and another head would look better to match the rest of the line. but great job he looks killer.

Nice job. Glad you posted pics.

Picked up a nude from Toy Anxiety- a German WWI soldier from "The Battle of Leige".

I'm not crazy about his body, but his head is dead on and a lot more realistic than what I had previously.

Looks great! The only things I'd do is probably look for a higher-end cowboy hat and pin up one of the sides, and ditch the plastic case machete and try and find one of the better ones with a canvas sheath. Monkey Depot has them for cheap.

Thanks! Hadn't thought about the machete!

Yea that hat is a little bit PIMP looking. Otherwise, looks good.

 

[MrLawless1]

Any suggestions for a good cowboy/outback hat in 1:6 scale?

Thanks in advance!

(......pimp looking...... heh, yeah....)

Don Magic Juan Recondo edition?

I wonder if this'd fit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Ac...nFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item1e5bca324e

If all else fails, you can fire a PM off to MANDO. His Recondo was pretty much perfect. Especially for being bashed pre-Sideshow era:

I think 'Face said the hat wouldn't fit.

 

[EVILFACE]

I'm using a hat like Mando.

I agree. This hat is the best I've seen, closest to the original 3 3/4 figure. Same hat I used.
