6" Scale TRENCH COATS - suggestions?

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi everyone,

Since moving to Korea, I've be to think really, really far ahead in what figures or parts I get - as they get shipped to me here on the other side of the planet.

I'm wanting to do some more customs that wear long coats, and wanted peoples suggestions on styles of coat that are in the 6"/ML scale, and are flexible.

My current list of parts that I can think to source out are:

[list]-NECA 30 Days of Night vampire figure (really nice flexible long-coat, fits slim 6" bodies well)
-HML Nick Fury (good coat, but has a pretty wide lapel on the coat that's ribbed - not what I'm needing)
-Movie Xmen Cyclops (really nice Black plastic trenchcoat, but really sweeping - I used one for my ANGEL custom a while back)
-Movie Doc. Ock (brown plastic, but has slot-holes in the back for the claw-arms, hard to fill correctly)
-Random Wrestling Figure (reverand-style collar, 'american flag' printed black plastic long coat, almost 7" scale)
-DCUC The Question (very refined/almost DC Animated universe style, blue plastic 6"
-Movie Xmen Nightcrawler (swept back 3/4 length long coat with a reverand collar)
-ML Movie Punisher/Blade (fabric long coat, doesn't suit a 6" figure in my mind - coat needs to be plastic)[/list]

-Movie Ghost Rider 'Caretaker' trenchcoat (brown flexible plastic, has a ratty 'hole' effect throughout)

Other suggestions:
-Hellsing alucrad figure's long coat (red plastic, fexible)
-NECA The Spirit Trenchcoat (black plastic, flexible and fits muscled 6" bodies well)



... and that's where my weird memory for figure parts taps out. I'm trying to find a good coat for a custom of the Warren Ellis character Sgt. Gravel, the Combat Magician:




This character (by Avatar Press) is literally a combination of two characters Warren Ellis has written really well: Hellblazer's John Constantine, and Marvel's The Punisher/Frank Castle. It's bizarre reading the comic, and seeing both characters in there as the same person - but it works well.

I'm thinking I'll go with the NECA long coat (also used on my Cyberpunk Punisher custom), but I wanted to have some variety in coat-types.

Any addition to the list of 6" figure long coats would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone,
