Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit First Update

I'm keeping an eye on this. Would be cool to have a nice 1/6 wampa...
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit First Update

I'm interested in a full figure. The wampa seems a little too offbeat for Hot Toys to do despite their success with a fully-haired Chewbacca. I'd consider taking the plunge on this since the risk of getting an official version is low. A wampa would also go well with Sideshow's Hoth Luke and Tauntaun.

Yeah, I find it very unlikey we will see a Wampa from either Sideshow or HT. And if it's from HT it would likely be a large statue.

I would expect nothing less from an "Imperial Spy" :lol
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit First Update

Bump for interest... added a few names to the list since last time.
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit First Update

Updated the interest list.

No specific updates on the project at this time. I've got a body I'm tinkering with but aside from that we'll just be waiting a few months until the casts are ready.
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit First Update

I finally found a place that has the Coo Models body in stock. More places should have it in March, but for now I've ordered one from KGHobby.

Once I get the body in I'll shorten the legs and lengthen the arms to get a idea of proportions and the quality of the body. If that all works out I'll send it on to Caine so he can sculpt the head, hands and feet to go with that body.

I'll keep you guys posted :duff
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

It should be a cool project... Caine is not only an incredible sculptor, but his casts are very high quality.
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

You can add me to the interest list :) Happy to support and I'd love one of these guys :woo
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

Oh wow! I totally forgot about this project. Looking forward to future updates.

Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

Added the names... and again, this is just purely an interest list.

The plan is:
1) Get the body modded
2) Create a mock-up fur suit
3) Send the body and suit to Caine to properly size the sculpts
4) Once sculpts are shared and approved that's the time when payments will be requested and decisions will be made regarding what types of sets will be offered and how many.

You got it Comatoast... and sorry if I forgot to add your name :duff
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

Put me down as interested in the full setup!
 
Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

Got in a faux fur I think will work great, it's an off-white short pile and I think the look and length are spot on for the Wampa.

Body Update:

So the Coo Model 1/4 Body came in today and I'm quite happy with it. The hips are a little loose, but overally it's a very nice base body and I think it will work great for the Wampa.

As it is, the body is too tall... I have it pictured next to a regular TT body and the Echo Base Han (Han is on the slightly taller body that came
with Luke).

Here's what I'm proposing to do... basically removing a chunk of the thighs and calves to drop him down to a shorter height and give him that more simian look. I'll also extend the forearms a bit. This should allow him to retain all of the original articulation, yet be the right proportions and height (like the behind the scenes photo below)

Re: 1/6 Wampa Project- Full figure or Kit

Decided to go ahead and chop up the legs... I like the height. And I think after the arms are lengthened a bit he'll be great.
