Oh, and one more thing I noticed (Sorry, I know you just sent them fixes 
) - the fishās lips, like the duckās bill, are a bit too pink and need to be more redorange-ish.
That also might be the pictureā¦iāve talked about this with othersā¦we think the picture might be off, and real life might look betterā¦once again, thats also being looked into
Just wanted to thanks those of you that provided input!
OMG they look amazing 
Those look amazing!! But i think the dogs eyes are spouse to be a little bit closer to each other.
Yeah I know, that is one of the things they are correctingā¦stayed tuned, hopefully prototype 2 will be ready soon
Wonderful! These are looking very classy 
As I say, count me in pending further updated pics. I imagine with the lacquer theseāll look fantastic. They already look the most screen accurate to date.
However, as a likely customer with a desire for screen accuracy it would be remiss of me not to mention the following points in order to get these looking top-notch. I know itās your aim to strive for screen-accuracy too so I hope these points benefit the final outcome:
The big splodge on the rear of the dog Troika (and all the splodges on him in fact) should definitely be one solid colour as seen here:
and here:
The border around the duckās beak on your replica is either too thick (wide) or too black, I canāt quite tell which from looking at the film still. As seen below it is either missing entirely, very fine, or of a closer colour to the main beak:
Also, looking at the above comparison, your replica duckās beak is off colour and needs to get wider, quicker as it tapers down (only by a fraction). Eyes have been mentioned but just to confirm, your replicaās eyes are too round and a bit wonky in height and distance from the beak (pupils are slightly askew too). Maybe a production issue.
Fish - colour is definitely off. Yours is far too yellow and has a lot more contrast between the main āscalesā base colour and the top portion / face area than the screen version:
Scale positioning is a little off too but itās not even worth mentioning as its such a minor point and must have been hard enough to get as good looking as youāve already got it.
Weird blue thing and ladybird are looking very nice indeed. Maybe a bit of colour correction on the muzzle area of blue guy (a tad more yellow perhaps?) and watch the path of the whiskers (bit of a nit-picky point there!):
The above points are not to be taken as personal criticism of the work youāve achieved, simply a list of constructive ideas that would improve these already fabulous items. The main āissuesā relate to colour, which is hard to gauge accurately from the photos alone. when these have a bit of a shine on them it could totally alter the colours because of the specular.
Also, just wondering about the rings on the base of your replicas. I know theyāre necessary to have these stand upright. When these toys are alive in the film Iām guessing they can balance themselves upright of their own accord. I feel sorry for the ladybird though. When these toys are sentient she must just be alive in the dark centre, claustrophobic and panicking but unable to get out unless all of the other four open their mouths.
I look forward to updates.
Booh88,
The Dogās Spot is already being corrected. In the high definition blue ray shots of toy Story 2, when the toys are gathered around Mr. Spell, the dog has a pattern on itās back spot. This is what they tried to replicate. Actually, they tried making it more āscreen accurateā based on the pictures I sent them. However, it does look sloppy and this will be corrected to a solid color
The color of the Duckās beak will be changed, it is too pinkish and not reddish. This will be corrected. As far as the border and the shape, Iām not sure those specific things can be corrected. The darker color beak will make the border less noticeable for sureā¦but I believe the shape is a little off due to the shape of the wooden eggs being slightly difference then the shape of the plastic eggs in the movie. I believe it will, in fact, look worse if they try to change it. The eyes will be fixed and made closer together, which I believe is the problem with the way itās face looks. I believe the eyes are fine, its imply their position
The Fish is also going to made darker orange, that will be the most major change.
The small bases are needed so they can stand. So unfortunately canāt be changed.
I appreciate the constructive criticism as they will help improve the item.
I would like to think after the next prototype, most people will happy enough with them to buy them, if they are interested at all
Look forward to giving an update when I can!
On a side note, your comment on the catās whiskers. I know you are nitpickingā¦but if you notice, in the movies, the troikas expressions actually changed. The dog scowls and the picture of them that you comparing them too, they all have a slightly āscaredā look their faceā¦itās right before Sidās first appearance and all the toys are scaredā¦so as far as little thing like that, the faces actually moveā¦so donāt assume that simply because they donāt have little nuances from one particular picture, that they canāt be screen accurateā¦i honestly donāt know what exact screen accurate will look likā¦no one really does
Woahā¦way to blast a lurker out of the shadows. Never felt any need to post before, but have read EVERY post in the TSC and Replica threadsā¦great info in both threads. Iāve checked this forum regularly this past year since Toy Story 3 made acquiring these toys essential in spite of being way too old (kinda). haha T
Only problem with purchasing these Troikas would mean acquiring Wheezy, Lenny and a bunch of characters (mostly rare and expensive) Iād became perfectly content to pass on. The new TSC Bonnieās Toys are getting my ābuy nowā trigger finger kinda itchy as it is though so might have to bite the bullet on these and get a set sent over to Scotland 
Iām a definitely maybe.
Are they made out of woods?
Yes, they are painted wooden russian nesting eggsā¦biggest one is 4 inches tallā¦but hopefully after the plaqcer is added, theyāll look shiny like plastic
Welcome out from the shadows!
I felt the same way too when I went to Toy Story on Iceā¦did I want to buy a Lenny? Because I knew if I did Iād want all the minor charactersā¦well I bought itā¦and it lead to wheezy, mr mike, etcā¦
itās been a little expensiveā¦but in the end, iām loving my collection
Lookin good, I think the inaccuracies have already been addressed. They look great at first glance, but once you get them side by side some of the color differences are what stand out to me. The goldfish especially.
Edit: one small suggestion I have would be the sand down the edges a bit where the two halves come together before painting.
Iām actually surprised but any gripes about them seem to be universal. Iām willing to accept theyāll never be āperfectā thoughā¦heckā¦not one TSC item is āperfectāā¦but if they fix the goldfish color, duck eyes and beak, and the dog adjustments I mentionedā¦iāll be estaticā¦
I have no problem saying iām very impressed witht he first prototype and think the 2nd will be that much better
As far as your editā¦what purpose would that serve? Iām trying to think of where you are going with thisā¦as the company is doing thisā¦not meā¦not sure if I can tell them to do that anywayā¦but iām curious where you are going with itā¦
I would totally understand if you thought it was too insignificant to bother asking them about, but it looks to me like the edges are a bit too perfectly sharp. See how they are beveled a bit in the screen shots? You can see the seam even when they are closed. In the the real life versions the seams are almost invisible.
Again, totally minor and wouldnāt make or break the thing the slightest.
Hmmmmā¦I always thought that they looked like that in that one scene due to them ālooking scaredā
and when they are closed the line was invisibleā¦i suppose that would help a bitā¦but it seems a little needy since they are redoing the replica thats already paintedā¦I suppose I could ask, but iām leaning against itā¦i already feel kinda bad that they are changing an already excellent jobā¦and i think they are only looking for modifications to the paint jobā¦
Edit: looking at all the pics I sentā¦your absolutely rightā¦it might be worth mentioningā¦hmmmmmm
Donāt forget you would also get the added advantage of them being easier to open. It may be a bit difficult to open them if you canāt find the edges with your fingernail. Of course I donāt have any myself to say, so I could be wrong about that. I also think it could help the illusion of looking like plastic. The rounded edges would catch some light making it appear shinier.
Hey Slink, sorry to be a buzzkill, but you already have one thread regarding your custom Troika replica, so we kindly ask that you stick to that. The fact thereās already a Toy Story Replica thread means that you should really be posting your works in there, but weāve let you already have your own special thread without shutting it down. Please refrain from creating duplicate threads. You may post your images in the first thread, just like how every member is entitled to one fan-graphic thread, one fan-art thread, etc. (The exception I can think of is regarding fanfics, since some of them are long enough to merit their own threads). Thanks for your understanding.
