Hey, everyone. I wasn't totally happy with the shape and size of the lenses. A new prototype is being produced and should be completed in 1-2 days. If it's looking good this will likely be the final production model and I will ramp up for sales. Thanks!
 
As promised here is the WIP on the new lens shape. The old is on top, new on bottom. I'm thrilled with it. I hope to complete the full prototype tomorrow.

As promised here is the completed prototype of the new version of the glasses.

The lenses have been widened left to right, narrowed top to bottom, and had their overall shape slightly altered. No ear pieces are included as the Hot Toys figure is made without their need.

Pictures on the figure coming tomorrow. Available for order in the coming weeks.

So does he wear the same glasses in all three movies? I've never really studied it that closely before.
I he doesn't. And as a matter of fact he appears to wear two slightly different pairs in the first film alone. He wears one pair throughout the entire movie, and then puts on a different pair in the very last scene right before he flies away.

You can see in the images that thr final scene glasses (first photo) are rounder and less "sleek", whereas in the rooftop scene, for example, they are thinner, less thinner, and sleeker.

I inadvertently modeled my original pair of the final scene so i wanted to correct that.

Still want satisfied with the glasses so I added a clearcoat to smooth everything out and give a nice shine. I love it. I'll be taking photos with the figure tomorrow... along with a little.... surprise...

A very cool surprise man! That looks incredible.
I won’t be taking part in this but felt the need to say this is badass. I’ve been creeping on this thread, as I do with your others. Lol Your work, and dedication to quality and accuracy always blows me away. People like you keep this hobby going.
