Worse comes to worst, it doesn't look like you would lose any articulation by glueing it.

Yes, weird in itself too...no ankle articulation?

Very interesting a similar kind of set-up connects the neck socket piece to the outer head of the 10th Doctor figure. I know, because mine wasn't glue or not glued properly and it comes right off.

It wasn't an issue because the head stays on just fine, and if I needed to I could always glue it. I just thought it was interesting versus making the head one piece.

The reason why I am swapping all of mine to Hot Toys Slims.

But how will you transfer the shoes?

You just have to find a similar kind of shoe...

Ah. SIMILAR.

Someone a few pages back swapped them for some New Line WWII officers boots. They looked much better and a big improvement.

He wore different shoes in the different seasons with different coats, I am sure that there is 1/6 footwear that would be correct for his red coat attire.

Took the wire out of the scarf on mine, it was just irritating the hell out of me. It still doesn't hang quite as nicely as I'd like due to the material selection used, but at least it's a bit more natural, and it actually wraps around properly now.

Unfortunately Tom has the floppiest body of any 1:6 piece I have ever owned, so displaying him is already a bit of a worry.

The ball joint is just above the "ankle". I assume they did it that way so the socks tuck into the shoes and look nice, and they do.

Just glue it back into the shoe and call it a day.

Wonder if any customizers out there can take on a custom scarf with some heavier/thicker material.

As soon as I get Tom some new boots, I'm porting mine over to the Hot Toys Slim. These bodies are just too wobbly and so are the joints.

Ouch! Sorry the figure arrived that way, Bloodgear- what will
you do about it?

That is just the ankle connector (where the ball of the foot peg fits inside) it should be glided into the the shoe. It just needs to be glued into the shoe again. Articulation is the same as hot toys. The sock should just be pulled over it so it looks like an ankle

Plenty brown brogues on ebay.

I may try out a TT slim, just to see.

I'm almost tempted to get a second one. I've wanted something like this ever since I was a kid and I'd be crushed if something happened to him. I think I have a problem rofl. Wish they weren't so expensive

I have just been contacted by Daron Woodward's wife Sharon. Apparently Daron suffered a massive heart attack last night and sadly passed away. Daron was a true gent and a great friend of BIG Chief. Our thoughts are with Sharon and her family, even more so at this time of year. Rest in peace Daron, you will be missed.
