Serenity/Firefly Dr. Simon Tam figure???

[cheetor]

Having dug out a Yana, it's not as portly as I recalled, and the clothing is pretty much spot on (well, waistcoat and a cravatt) - anevilgiraffe is right though, he'd need new hands and head...

That figure does look the most like what I am looking for so far.  Thanks for all of the feedback guys.

The Doctor Who Universe figs look slightly gangllier than the usual Copplestone/Hasslefree/Reaper/Black Scorpion etc figs (even though I have only ever even seen one Micro Universe fig).

Do any of you by any chance have both the Yana figure and the Heresy not-Firefly figs?  I know that its a bit of a long shot, but a comparison shot of Yana and those would be really great...

Actually, I do, I`ll try and remember to make a picture this evening when comming from work and relocate my picturemachine`s USB cable (in the process of changing computers, so its quite a mess in here  )

Was gonna say didn't reaper do one, also didn't black cat bases?

[Tomsche]

Roight, hope this helps



Tried to put their bases and slips `off` the black field to get an idea of foot to head size

[anevilgiraffe]

new head and hands, should look good...

[cheetor]

Roight, hope this helps

That was quick, thanks very much Tomsche!

That figure does look just about right, although a quick scour of ebay didnt turn up any results for "Yana".  Any suggestions as to where to pick up Micro Universe singles?

I cant get at the Pulpfigures site from work.  I will check when I get home, thanks!

I picked up Reaper figures for Zoe (Ellen Stone) and Jayne (Turk Space Salvager with the addition of the Hasslefree V.E.R.A. instead of the awful steampunk thing that he is holding).  I didnt see suitable figures for any of the others actually.  Which ones were they?  I dont recall seeing any Black Cat Bases figures that seemed suitable either actually.

Just in case anyone is interested I went for a Hasslefree "Miranda" for River, Black Scorpion "Governors Daughter" for Inara, Heresy "Engineer Adams" for Wash (needs a head swap), plus the three Heresy figures already pictured for Mal, Kaylee and Book.  The figures mix pretty well scale wise, good enough for me at least.  Zoe is a smidge on the tall side, but it doesnt bother me that much.

well that second auction listed 10 available, so it may get relisted soon - drop them a line, he might be a while relisting it as his other items for sale list in 4,000

Heresys' stuff is nice too. Te not Kaylee could do with a head swap But if you used Heresy I would used them with Hasslefree stuff and not Reaper there is a notable ferance but they all are nice figures.

I have a couple of the Reaper figures that you pointed out, not-Jayne and not-Zoe.  I hadnt seen their not-Mal before: he looks fine, although I prefer the Heresy figure.

I have the figure pack that you pointed out for use as Simon and River on order, but not for use as those characters.  To be honest they dont really look recognisable enough as the Tams for my tastes (I do plan to use the girl in that pack as another Joss Whedon character: Cordelia from Buffy/Angel).

The guy in the waistcoat there is a pretty good match for Simon, one of the best that I have seen so far.  He looks a little more stout and jowly than I would like but if I cant get my hands on that Doctor Who figure then this guy is running second.  Thanks!

I've not seen a  good Inara or Tam from Reaper, though I would like them to release a "Summer Glau Kicks Everyone's Ass" movie character.

While I certainly would be quite happy to get my hands on a "Summer Glau Kicks Everyone's Ass" figure I am pretty much equally happy with the figure that I plan to use as a "Summer Glau Stares Thoughtfully Into the Distance Spouting Gibberish As A Prelude To Homicidal Violence" figure


Pic from Hasslefree

Its not a perfect match, but it is pretty good I think.  As a Hasslefree figure the proportions are petite, which is ideal for a Summer Glau figure.  Additionally, the pose is probably more indicative of the characters behaviour through out the series than a figure that resembled the character as depicted on the cover of the Serenity DVD really.  I *think* that it was Gluteus Maximus that had the idea for using the Miranda figure originally.

For Inara I went for a Black Scorpion figure (also an idea purloined from a LAF thread on more or less the same topic).  Again its not a perfect match (in particular the bows on the dress are more "Kaylee at a shindig" than Inara) but I hope that painting the dress in a fashion reminiscent of Chinese formal wear will make it look a little more like the TV character.  The fan doesnt hurt the look either.

Whilst looking for something else, I found a possible Jayne:



that I thought might be of use to other peeps - head swap, gun swap, add a silly hat - bang! done!

[edit] can't seem to make the pic work, so here's a link: http://www.rafm.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RAF&Product_Code=RAF02811&Category_Code=USXMin

I'd originally got hasslefree's Miranda for a Summer like character. I think she fits perfectly, especially in the espisode where Simon geta kidnapped.
