At that time will show the final product/price! I have to out source quite a few peace's for this project so I will collect 30$ In advance and then the remainder before shipping about 20-29 days after the pre order has been placed. The 30$ dollars does not even cover 1/3 my cost for producing the out fit and out sourced peace's.

This is my very first full figure custom. Some of the confirmed parts may change slightly but I will update that before pre order's begin.

I look forward to making this figure a reality in your collection's and i thank everyone for the patenice and interest .

Re: DARTH Nihilus INTEREST thread Updated

Ok i got a sample of the body im hoping to use today. Very similar to the ttm18 body except the joints are a little looser and the hands seem to have a different plug. For 1/3 the price i would say its a great body. For the people interested in this id like to hear what u all think or anyone who has handled one of these before?

Side by side with the ttm 18 one on the left is the knock off

Re: DARTH Nihilus UPDATE

Just a little update. The sculpt is in the mail an the tailor is perfecting my prototype as we speak! I had a look at it today and its looking really great everything is very clean. I would hope with in two-three weeks I can show U all a full reveal with a final price tag. I also updated the confirmed parts list!

Until then I can throw everyone a bone and say the price point will be in-between 190$-250$ For the fully finished figure!

Hopefully once the sculpt is shown we can gather some more interest!

Re: DARTH Nihilus SKIRT TEASSER

I wasn't planning on showing anything more till i had the actual sculpt in hand but im board and i haven't had more than an hour this weekend to work on anything substantial. When i was at the tailor's yesterday she gave me her first version of the skirt to play with. I laid a layer of weathering to it. Keep in mind the tailor is still revising this!

Also I haven't decided if i will offer this weathered, Pristine or customer choice.

Please don't mind my bad photography my pictures are almost not worth posting cause its looks much better in HAND.

PLEASE COMMENT (GOOD OR BAD)

Re: DARTH Nihilus SKIRT TEASSER

Looks good to me mate, maybe a tad tight around the waist (have to allow for the shirt tuck) but the scale and hang looks pretty natural

This is not the body the skirt was made for!

Re: DARTH Nihilus TUNIC WIP

So the sculptor was pretty busy and was late shipping the sculpt witch should be here Tuesday if I had to guess. I don't want u guys to think im just sitting around doing nothing so here's a little something to look at. I'm dedicated to making this all that it can be. So were trying different things till its right!

So his tunics are pretty simple from all the references I have. The middle sample was an attempt to make it as plain as possible and its UN hemmed at the bottom so I can weather it properly. I will be doing the same with the bottom of the weathered version of the skirt. Im just waiting on some special clear glue so I can weather it properly an UN hemmed with out it fraying all over there place.

Im leaning toward using the mix of all three tunics for the final version. Basically the out side tunic not hemmed at the bottom. The people that do not want this weathered there will be hem's everywhere along the edges.

Please comment.
