IRIS: Raiders of the lost Ark (Closed)

[Luisenigma1]

Yeah from what I'm readying, the JX still has a pretty broad chest on it. The VTS one I'm using has a slightly narrower chest, which makes the shirt fit a bit better. Although it's still more form-fitting than I'd prefer.

Looking good so far. I suggest getting the AC Aguilar body That's similar to the Bloodhunter body.

So how did Iris create those permanent wrinkles in the arms by the way? I'd love to create some more folds and wrinkles in the front of the jacket too, but nothing I try seems to work. And I wouldn't want to risk ironing this material.

I really don't know how I'll ask her about that. Also man those Creg boots really turned out well. I hope to add it to my Indy soon. I also should have told Iris to make the shirt a size bigger but it never crossed my mind at the time as I thought it looked good.

Yeah, its becoming too challenging to find the right body for those slim sleeves. I'm going to try stretching them...

Luis, can you post a picture of exactly the arms you put on the figure you sent Iris please?

And yes, I already lost one of the shirt buttons somehow. So be careful when futzing everybody.

Not sure how she managed it, but when Jacob did my Yunsil with more wrinkles he used Stiffen Quick spray. I'm about to do my third round of spray on the Iris.

Just put it on a body. Push up the sleeves and crunch the jacket a bit to create more wrinkles and spray. More layers the stiffer you can get it.

They are basically ttm18 biceps with the forearms from the John wick HT figure.( you can also use that bodies arms as they are also very slim) should be easy to get that body and switch the arms out.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with the boots. I was worried at first because they're much bigger than the HT boots and almost look like clown shoes in comparison, but once painted and put on the figure the size works perfectly well.

Interesting. The John Wick arms don't look that slim. I wonder why the Solo and VTS and JX arms seem to bulge in the Iris sleeves yet they all have slim arms?

The jacket on JW is very tight so it doesn't look that way but trust me compared to HT banner biceps they are alot slimmer. I belive the VTS body that has been show is the single jointed arms and those are indeed bigger, jx toys arms are fine but the chest is a bit bigger for the shirt.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, I looked at the body of the John Wick on ebay (no clothes) and the arms didn't look particularly thin -- clearly they must be though if that's what you used. Maybe there are two versions of HT Wick? Not sure which I saw.

In any event, this shirt requires exceptionally thin arms. From what I've seen so far, not ideal for Cairo Indy. Best to use this shirt with jacket on.... if you can find a slim enough chest now.

I'm hoping the shirt can be stretched somewhat -- probably doesn't need too much. Either that or replacing the magnet with a strong snap.

So, received my Iris set today. Haven't had much time to futz with it but here's some initial thoughts:
Really glad we went with a small zipper, much better than the 1st concept.
The outfit fits really well on the generic body I am using:
https://www.scifi-toys.com/collecti...1-6-parts-standard-male-narrow-shoulders-body
Didn't have any issues with the shirt popping open at all, magnets pop close easily.
The jacket is nicer than I imagined. Really nice soft material and a great colour. I think in the hands of a talented custom artist the collar could sit flat and would look better if weathered, but still really nice. The length is good.
The pants are not really made from the material I would have liked. It creases just by looking at it in the way that linen creases, but Indy's pants were wool and didn't crease like that, that's a bummer for mine.
The holster is "ok" but not better than the MFisher (pictured here) imho. It's very thin, but not bad for the price.
Overall summary: Given the price of sets from Yunsil & Kato, this is a really nice set for the price point. Certainly WAY better than what Hot Toys came up with and a certain upgrade from that.
Lastly thank you to Luis & Iris for making this possible.

Looks awesome, Dave!

Really need MFisher to make whips and belts/holsters again.

Looks good man. I see you were able to get that collar down too. ?

 

[corellianfive]

@Rzeznikk , I did....I futzed it down a little and then added a small amount of double sided tape to keep it down. I actually quite like Iris's jacket...even more than my Yunsil I think & that surprises me. The Yunsil is lovely.

 

[Timemeddler]

BOOM!

 

[davejames]

I encourage everyone to spray the pants with water (once on the figure) to get them to drape down better. Makes a world of difference and helps get rid of those ugly wrinkles too.

To hell with spraying them, I’ll be drenching mine later!

 

[Ecklectic]

I got my set today. Finally!

I have only tried the jacket so far but I love it. It is just like my full size Wested jacket. I actually prefer this to the Yunsil one. The length is perfect in my opinion. I just need to find a way to get the collar flat.

Here is some quick pictures of the jacket on my favourite custom Indy.

 

[Luisenigma1]

I'm happy everyone is excited to own this set. Though there are some issues. It definitely came out great and I'm glad to see everyone's customs already.
