Status (January 2021): I tried to confirm a price with Yunsil, as the original quote expired. She said it was too complicated an outfit for her to accept at the moment. I may ask Ropa Studios.
To go with DWill's Akeem, I would like to get a Semmi (Arsenio Hall) figure going as soon as possible.
I consulted with DWill before starting this thread. He is not planning on doing Semmi.
This will be the outfit to pair with Akeem.
Headsculpt: Inigo.
Outfit: Yun-sil Park (Toribox).
Accessories (chain and shoes): Star Puffs.
I may also consider making a custom stand to jointly display both figures (sort of like R2-D2 and C-3PO).
This would be a great figure to put on a DAM 2.0 body, as it is a bit taller and about a 1cm narrower in the shoulders. They are still reasonably available on eBay (at least 30 available at present).

I will also be offering a McDowell's uniform set for both Akeem and Semmi.
1. Set will include: hat, vest, bowtie, pants, belt, shoes, and nametag. Akeem will include both a mop and a second "unscrewed" mop handle. Semmi will include an apron and maybe another McDowell's-related item.
2. The bodies will be: Akeem (COO BD-001) and Semmi (DAM 2.0).
3. The hat will need to be sized to either Inigou's heads or the Joy Snyder's (Snyderman) Akeem head.
4. The accessories will be offered painted. Painted or not, I will assemble the mop head (it's very difficult, as it is a mix of metal parts and 3D printed ones).
WIP:
Improvements planned or to be attempted:
1. McDowell's logo on vest will be heat set vinyl (real embroidery looked terrible at this scale).
2. The fabric is the best you can get for directed printed designs available to consummers, but I'm exploring more expensive professional fabric options to get a nicer red and clearer lines.
3. I'll create his 1980's Adidas high tops.
4. I'm still fiddling with the bowtie.
5. Resized name tag [done - waiting to be painted].
6. Body pictured is DAM 2.0 (so Semmi's pattern is done minus the hat size); I'll be making Akeem on the COO BD-001 to keep in sync with Dwill's set.
Price will probably be under $300. You will need to supply the head, white shirt, and body.
Interest (McDowell's set - Star Puffs):
Re-confirmed interest in 2019.

Finally I will eventually do a Lisa McDowell figure.
