Nice to see some more takers :clap

There has to be a few more serious buyers out there. Don't be shy :wave


I was thinking about the casual outfits. I know that a lot of collectors like to keep things consistent with the flicks in terms of outfits and how and when they appeared. I agree that it's necessary for certain characters and films but I had a different idea that I wanted to run past everyone and get your thoughts.

I'm not sure there's a single scene where each one of these characters are wearing they're best casual get-up simultaneously. Would everyone be open to agreeing on what the coolest look for each character individually is, regardless if they all wore it in the same scene or not, or is the majority looking for 3 outfits that all appeared in the same scene?

I only suggest this because I think that the latter is tough. Like this pic for example; This may be the best choice Jimmy but there are other better choices for Henry & Tommy, possible none of which are on screen at the same time in the entire movie.

I agree also. The outfit DeNiro has on is great. I would like to see Ray Liotta in the bowling style shirt, and Pesci seemed to always be dressed very nicely, usually with a sports coat.
 
I'd rather recreate a scene. But that is my MO. Pck, I love ideas I really do but Denny and iminime have a way of getting easily confused. For the sake of keeping it simple I think it's best
 
We will be working on this now.

The main one first, I would love to hear the main expression of him
please post expression photos~~ so that I can check ^^
Also outfit suggestions and accessories.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE....

Iminime will begin work on Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) with the other two to follow later!
 
It show time!!! :clap :clap


I'm more for the idea of picking their best individual outfits. I get going scene specific but it's not the best idea to basically downgrade a character just for the sake of staying faithful to a specific scene.

I'd rather kick around ideas and agree/vote on what each of their best casual outfit is individually. If it turns out that 2 or all appeared on screen together then that's great but if it doesn't, then it's for the benefit of the figures appearance anyway

I agree, best outfit for each.
 
Alright fine....

SO BE IT....

If we are picking costumes I choose:

BRUCE What do you want? They get closer. BRUCE (annoyed and menacing) Hey! ****o! You want something? With absolutely no warning, HENRY reaches out and grabs BRUCE's hair with one hand and pulls his gun out of his waistband with the other. In almost one motion, HENRY Smashes the gun across BRUCE's face. Teeth fall from BRUCE's mouth. The TWO BROTHERS, still not seeing the gun, start toward HENRY, but HENRY continues to pound the gun into BRUCE'S face like a dinner gong. BRUCE's head is still off the ground only because HENRY refuses to let go of his hair. BRUCE'S BROTHERS realize HENRY has a gun. They freeze and back off.

Its my favorite bad *** Henry Hill moment.

Plus there's already a great write up i found detailing all the elements of the outfit... FOUND HERE

Just some snippets:
The jacket itself is medium brown in color. It’s styled like a typical single-breasted blazer, with notch lapels, a 2-button front, and a ventless rear. A casual sportcoat is evoked with the patch breast and hip pockets. The lining is dark brown with a jetted inner pocket on each side.

Henry’s shirt is a black knit long-sleeve casual button-down. The buttons are large and white and the turndown collar is very soft and flappy. The shirt buttons seven down the front with a double button fastening at the bottom. This is a very retro ’60s look, when shirts like this were meant to be worn untucked but still look neat.

The pants, which are a little tight for my preference, are dark brown flat front trousers. The material looks like a polyester or similar blend. They are very retro-styled with plain-hemmed bottoms, frogmouth pockets, and a unique extended tab built-in belt that fastens through a brass squared clasp. There are no rear pockets. This sort of clean waistband is good for Henry as there are no bulky pockets, clumsy fly, or extended belt for him to catch his gun on when drawing it.

Henry’s accessories are the usual: his gold Catholic cross necklace, gold pinky ring on the right pinky with a dark ruby stone, and a gold watch. This watch is more casual than his Rolex Day-Date; this has a dark brown leather strap and a gold squared case and face. Underneath is his usual white sleeveless A-style undershirt.

On his feet, Henry sports a pair of black tasseled loafers, likely in Italian leather. His socks are thin silk – as you’d expect – in brown with black thin stripes and black heels.

His weapon:

Henry carries a – what would you expect – snubnose .38 Special revolver. More specifically, Henry keeps a Smith & Wesson Model 36, marketed in its early years as the “Chief’s Special”, in his waistband or under the seat of his car. The Model 36, introduced in 1950, quickly developed a following amongst gangsters looking for a small but deadly weapon for close quarters shooting. The Model 36′s 5 round capacity, compared to the 6 rounds of the Colt Detective Special, was actually preferred by mobsters as the smaller size made it easier to conceal. Since mobsters rarely got into shooting scrapes as much as the movies portrayed, they often just needed something that they could whip out and use to intimidate or – as seen liberally in Goodfellas – to pistol-whip.
