Can't wait to see what you all do with your sets!
I just put mine together so I want to give some tips so you don't make the same mistakes i did
First off the outfits are incredible and I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance but I wanted to make sure I posted these tips before anyone tried to put their set together.
Everyone on here are very experienced but I just wanted to give you all a heads up just in case as this was definitely
the most challenging Yunsil outfit I have ever encountered and I have bought so many yunsil outfits over the years (she even did a one off Bret outfit for me years ago and it was so easy to take on and off).
1) the outfits are extremely tight (as they should be) and there is very little give in the singlet piping area, it is best to remove the arms before putting the outfit on as Yunsil suggested. I tried to put on one of my outfits without removing the arms and it pulled at the singlet piping tearing the piping ever so slightly. I was sweating bullets putting this thing on.
For my second outfit I opened up the ganghood body first and swapped out the arms with arms from a starlord body which has screws in the shoulder. this made it easier to remove the arms. I'm sure you guys will come up with better ways to do this, but please be VERY cautious as the piping is delicate.
2) i suggest doing your padding of the body before sliding it on. It will be very hard to remove it after you put it on.
3) The backside of the body needs padding if you're using the ganghood or starlord bodies. I found these "butt enhancers" on ebay that add padding to his backside (currently it is way too flat), though there are other underwear style padding options on ebay or I'm sure you can figure out other cheaper methods (I had planned to sculpy my own padding before finding this online and went the lazy route).

I superglued it to the body.
4) If you're using the ganghood body make sure you put on the thigh enhancers. The starlord bodies have the thigh enhancers already attached.
5) The calves need the most padding as they are a bit slim. The shoes will fit really well with the socks (the sailor rabbit socks on ebay), however the exposed calf between the kneepad and socks will be a bit slim if you don't pad ahead of time (I used pink athletic tape to pad the calves, though I realized after the fact that I didn't pad it enough).
6) The bottom tips of the hair are a bit fragile, please be careful. I've dropped one head and a tip broke off on both. I also was too rough with the jacket and a tip came off as well. Probably won't be an issue for those going with real hair.
7) I think the Bret likeness comes out pretty nicely with a slight side glance, like the yelim paintup I posted here. I've gotten the head painted a few times and so far that's my favorite.
P.S. Thank you all for being supportive and easy to deal with (some of you have supported my my various Bret prototypes FOR YEARS and I'm very appreciative). I also found someone to put together a Bulldog outfit prototype and I think you will all be very pleased with the quality.
