Yunsil Toribox - Bret "The Hitman" Hart (SOLD OUT)

[tbay]

Thank you to everyone that has made payment. There are two spots remaining, I will go with the first person to pay so please pm me before making payment in case the spot has been taken.

I wasn't really familiar with Mark Simpson as a painter until I saw the Prince Akeem he painted up for dwill. Needless to say he's a talented artist. Here is his paintup of Bret (Silentsurfer is painting one for me without any the added hair strands so I hope to post that soon and I will post the Sinag full rooted version so you can see the various ways to approach painting):

As you can see here, this is the Starlord V2. I didn't mod the head that I sent him (you can dremel the back of the head, underneath the hair, to get it to sit lower) but so you can see that it sits higher on the neck. This space between the hair and the traps is where the jacket would be and it can sit perfectly on the jacket this way (with a little modding of course).

My profile pic is how the head sits on the Ganghood body (aka Starlord V1, Barney Ross, Bane). The hair drapes around the neck and lays on the traps. This body would be better for those not wanting to display him with a jacket. The head was made to fit this body, not the V2 I have pictured above.

Btw, this looks like a really great option for the jacket:

Also, anyone interested in a high quality Intercontinental belt? There's already a WCW big gold and eagle belt out there.

In for sure.

Thanks for the support guys.

Robbiethepainter needs at least 6 belts bought to move forward. Chilipep66 and Levit05 are also both in for the belt. I'm paying for the remaining two belts so we can move forward with the commission.

Robbie has confirmed that he has us on his calendar for July, thanks guys!

 

[Bravomite]

I'm in for the IC belt as well Tbay

 

[Jbeltram4]

Of all the projects I’ve had to pass on, this one is most painful lol. 80/90s wrestling will forever be unmatched and a huge part of my childhood.

Awesome! I'll update the interest list.

Hi folks, if you have not fully paid your balance please do so ASAP. The costs for the production run (and sculpts) were already fully paid much before I began to take payments so there will be no additional waiting times outside of the usual wait time for Yunsil, so it would really help me out to get those balances ASAP. If you paid the balance I have marked you as fully paid on page one, thank you again!

Here is my last email correspondence with Yunsil in May (I had asked her if I could purchase the sample and was confirming the start date of the production run):

[ Bret Hart project ]
Yes, we will start the Bret Hart run in June.
I'm sorry, we don't sell the sample. The sample is not for sale.
We make a sample just to check the design, fabric, size, color, etc.
Compared with the final product, the quality of the sample is poor.

 

[Raymond F.]

Get your payments in guys. Without tbay this project would not have happened. Please be sensitive and support him, it takes a real labor of love for the subject matter to dig so far into pocket on your own.

Thanks for the update on the outfit bud. Will look forward to the final outfit!

 

[chilipep66]

get em in guys! Thanks for all your hard work here tbay

 

[ymba]

Absolutely agree

I have no horse in the race here and I know
tbay went all in to get this for you guys.

Don’t let Bret down!

 

[karamazov80]

Excited for this guy. Still the best. Kenny Omega has nothing on the Hitman.

 

[tbay]

Thanks for all the support guys. I'll have to set a deadline for final payments now, please get the payments in by July 5. As with all custom runs the deposits are not refundable. If I don't receive final payments by July 5 you will not be receiving a set.

Everyone else that has paid has nothing to worry about in terms of waiting for final payments as everything has been paid up front by me so your sets will not be further delayed.

As discussed in previous posts, the head is fitted for the ganghood bane body, but I used the Starlord V2 body because I thought the longer neck looked good with the jacket.

He actually still looks good with the ganghood body with the jacket if you tuck the hair under the jacket and futz it a bit. No need to mod the neck if you go with this option.


Here's a quick snap I took of Bret on the ganghood. The ganghood is readily available on ebay for 30 bucks or so shipped.

One more gift I'm trying to get for you guys, Evilface was nice enough to do these little Hitman logos for the shades despite how difficult they are to do. He's agreed to do ten more for me so I can throw that into your package as well (no extra cost on your end). If he's unable to make that many for some reason you can always contact him to see if he will do one for you but I do hope that I'll be able to add this to your package. I just don't want to guarantee it until it's in my hands (however if you know Evilface he is one of the most reliable people in the hobby).

Just really blown away that he was able to do this as it was a pretty challenging request at this scale!

Additionally, Bad Mother Tattoos has the hitman logo files for the jacket so he can make decals for you if you'd prefer a waterslide decal for the jacket rather than the jacket stickers I'm including.

Very cool! Evilface is the man. Turning out to be quite the tailor, as well.
