nice.

 

You guys should get a commission every time you make some crappy factory sculpt look so good. I'd happily consigned myself to not getting an Android Hunter, but now...

rassin' frassin' :lol

 

Fantastic repaint, you really brought out the 'squinting' going on in the sculpt which the factory paint ops completely obscured.

 

Oooookay,

I take it the figure came with a Dragon body, if the feet on the body it came with are solid then it's an Adam and I don't think any other Dragon hands will fit that well. If, on the other hand, the feet are jointed, it's a Neo and any current Dragon hand will fit and BBI G3.5 hands also do as well.

If you really want to have something cool I would advise getting a Neo3, you get much more poseability and he'll stand better in any pose. The Neo 3 will mean that he can aim his weapon with both hands. If you check Monkey Depot or eBay, look for nudes of the following:

Hap Daley
Serge Bernier

Tom Grieger also had a Neo3 but these had floppier joints. I've got both Serge and Hap and haven't had issues with either.

BTW, if that's the original head you've repainted it looks awesome

Look forward to seeing him when he's done

CHEERS!

 

Fantastic!
It looks a bit rough on certain spots, but it is one amazing improvement. Hard to believe there was a Harrison Ford likeness there!

 

Is this figure one that actually says Android Hunter on the box?

I seem to remember Kidult Garden doing a Deckard that had a Neo and a vinyl version of Frontline's head. Having said that, I'm pretty certain the head you've got isn't Lonnie's.

CHEERS!

 

Wow, that looks realy amazing. I never thought that this head can be looks so cool! Verry impressive!!

 

This is indeed the Android Hunter figure. It came with two heads, the puffy-faced soft vinyl, and the vinyl one with the pink lips pictured on the left of the before and after (I have heard this head referred to as the "V3" head). I was as surprised as any of you that that pale, crappy head had a decent sculpt waiting to be brought out. The Frontline head was going to be my next stop if the repaint yielded nothing. I saw it as practice for the resin head. Now that it's painted, I really prefer this sculpt to Frontline's.

I'd have to check the figure when I get home, but not sure if it's an Adam or not. The hands do pop on and off very easily, with pegs that go up the forearm. I'm hoping to upgrade the left hand to an open hand (or at least not that curled looking pose) and maybe see if a pistol-grip right hand isn't a better fit for the gun.

Thanks for the feedback, and thank you Roger for the suggestions!

 

mark, i've had the v1 Android Hunter for a long time, and this is inspiring me to "upgrade" with a new better head.

i thank you but my wallet does not!

 

WoW! Decard is looking great! And just in time for the new 5 disk box set too.

 

Android hunter

Wow, I never even knew they made this figure. Great movie and your figure is just perfect, least the re-paint. Those close need some attention however. As for hands I think you have to give him the broken fingers taped up. Where would one go about finding this figure on line?
"All this will be Lost like tears in the rain"

 

That's the result of only a repaint?? Holy cow!!! I would have never picked that HS for the figure you put together, but you did an amazing job of making it work and work well!!!

 

Very cool. Nice redo.

 

Fantastic job on the repaint. It's amazing to see an actual Harrison Ford looking sculpt underneath that original paint.

 

Thanks fellers.

Boogie - do an ebay search for "Android Hunter". They're pricey, but for an out-of-commission 1/6 scale figure, you can't beat the clothes and die-cast metal gun. This one comes with the extra head, which is the one I repainted.

 

Fantastic repaint. :thumb

 

Fantastic repaint, it's totally transformed the figure.

 

Amazing repaint! :thumb

 

Awesome Repaint!!!!

 

wow, now that's what I call a transformation!!
Great job!

The one in the eBay link is definitely an Adam, I checked my old Hubert body against it, putting the wrist in similar poses and they matched what was in the pics. I tried the hands as well and current Neo hands don't fit the Adam sockets very well at all. The Adam hands look to pop off too easily and this will get worse with the gun hand, particularly as you say his SSG is diecast.

I think a nude Serge with his Neo3 and a few pairs of loose hands would be your best bet. A pistol grip will be the ideal for holding the gun and then take your pick of the other ones. Having other pairs of hands around means you have more flexibility when it comes to poses.

Only too glad to help

CHEERS!

 

Roger!

So I have a lead on a nude Daley Neo 3. If I grab that, any spare Dragon hands I see for sale should work? For example, would the hands from a DID Stroop figure fit the Neo 3 body? And any recommendations on where is the best place to find the right hands?

Sorry for all the newb questions. Thanks so much for your help!

 

That is astonishing! I used a Frontline sculpt for my upgrade, but yours is really great!

I'm heading to see the new BR "Final Cut" TONIGHT!

 

Yeah, Hap's good, some of the joints on mine are tighter than Serge's. The arms are the major points to look out for, particularly the arm to shoulder joints.

I haven't had much experience with DID hands, but any DML Neo hands or even BBI G3.5 hands will fit. Hap's are rifle grip and I think you're going to need a pistol grip for the hand holding the SSG. Basically, snag Hap then get some DML hands and you'll have a great Deckard in no time.

CHEERS!

PS (eBay is a good place to look for hands.)

 

Damn, Harrison Ford was in there all of the time! Great job with bringing him out!
