Well tbh I don't really care, if it's sculpted I will replace it with a fabric one. So i'm fine with either.

Help Support Custom One-Sixth Figures Forum:
I wouldn't use that garbage as an indicator for how a truly high end custom figure would look. Check out Elvis's customs instead.
Cloth Bandana painted with wire inside
I just know you're going to mod the hell out of it, no matter what :lol

Full figure so yes.
What is the most important parts to me is the bodysuit material.
It has to be in two parts. Pants and shirt and I really want some kind of diving suit material. No spandex please.

I've seen the fabric ones Elvis has done and they look ok yeah. i just don't think they look as good as the sculpted ones
They never look as fluid like the wind is blowing them, even in that picture you just posted it looks like its being artificially held up. No sense of realism other than its cloth
I know that is down to the owner doing it right but what if you cant ever get it to look how you want it to
I think the Naked Snake tails look better honestly. It's no offence to Elvis in any way it's just personal preference. Sculpted on a ball means you could have it straight down behind him, to the left or to the right, whatever. Sure it'll stay maintain the same shape but if the shape is fluid and actually looks like the wing is blowing it that's what i'd go for
That being said if the majority want it cloth that is the way we will proceed. I'll just ask John to make the hole in the back the same as the one on the HT Snake head so i can use that instead

The sneaking suit is two parts, it's not a body suit.

I like Naked Snake's better too.
That is why I said pants and shirt.
Well one thing to consider is that the HT one was a rubber-type material. Presumably this one would be sculpted in resin. That would seem to make getting a ball joint to work more difficult. Rocco's Slimer was made that way, and had some trouble in that area. And you would have to wrestle with potential paint wear. IDM may have some means of getting that to work. But considering all that, I assumed that any sculpted bandana would be made to glued to the back of the head.

With a port in the back of the head, it only needs a little resistance to stay in, I don't see it being a problem unless you're going to constantly fiddle with the back of the head :dunno
It just needs a well and a plug. And if it ever become loose throw clear polish on it.

If thats the case i guess we'll go with the cloth bandana then
Let's just wait and see what John says, as i said i'm easy really
Either way it'll end up how i want it to look haha. Even if i choose to use the Naked Snake Bandana, if the holes the same on both size i can just put the cloth one on him
Whatever's the best option we will go for

Fabric looks very artificial like that, it just looks like a cloth appendage on the back of the head. It has no character.

Well i mean to be fair, if a cloth one can be done to a high enough level that it looks just the the sculpted ones but is fabric. Then i have no complaints
Similarly if it's going to be a ballache doing a sculpted one with the material or pump the price then the sensible way to go is the cloth and swap it with the Naked Snake one

Well it all depends on how John wants to approach it, I guess in the end if he wants to do a fabric one I'll just bite the bullet I guess.
If it drives up cost then its pointless its expensive all ready.
