Interested! Hope it wont cost half of the figure, haha)
I would like to get the plastic more, rather then leather to lower the price/

I won't let that happen, don't worry

Hey, everyone, I don't want to hijack my own thread here but just a reminder I am working on this.... and I'm almost done with the model...

Thanks guys! I took another look here and believe they brand/style of boots is Tony Lama Caprock Western Boots in Black Cherry. I have updated the reference pic and info in description of thread. These boots use Teju Lizard skin which is akin to crocodile skin. It appears the reference pics Hosam provided show the lizard skin texture more pronounced than stock photo because of the dust accumulated on Anton's boots. Let me know your thoughts!

Ok guys, so are the boots pictured now accurate, or are we still a bit off? The boots on the front page are listed as snakeskin, with very small scales, but crocodile boots would have much larger scales as you can see in some of the photos you all posted. Since we don't really see much of the leg portion of the boots there's no way to tell if the crocodile skin extends up or if the pattern that is in the reference image is correct. Anyone have any bead on this specific information? I want to make sure to get this right for you all!

So apparently the boots on the main page are Teju Lizard skin which is very similar to crocodile skin based on what I've read online. Here is a better reference pic of the texture.

Yeah the scales just seem a bit small, especially compared to the reference images from the film. I see much larger scales... hmmm....

There is also this style of boots I discovered that has larger scales but similar style. What do you all think? The style/brand is: Lucchese Handcrafted 1883 Black Cherry Crocodile Belly Cowboy Boots

There is a scene where Anton takes off his boots and you can see the top of them. Based on initial viewing, it doesn't appear skin texture is on top of boots but rather looks like design in set I posted. I'm going to try to grab a good screenshot of it later this afternoon to confirm this and will post here.

Ok so I found this picture that shows the boots very close up, at least of the lower portion. So now we know the scales are of the larger, more square variety. Now we just need to confirm the leg portion.

And a zoomed in pic, lightened up a bit. So now we have the lower portion texture down. Let's see what we can find about the leg portions.
