Some may notice he is currently wearing a more traditional " loafer " that seemed to be part of his wardrobe from time to time in season 2 . When I started building these , I had envisioned the espadrille style since those were the most prevalent during year 2 which is what his head sculpt is based on . I found a pair of that style in black so I will have to do some paint work on them . In the photo you can see " stitching " around the top and sides of the shoe so I will have to do some light sanding to smooth out the shoe before applying paint . Should take a couple of days to get that done but once complete , should yield a fairly accurate replica of Sonny's footwear . Very cool - thanks for posting Party_car1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party_car1 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 These are the newest photos of my figures . Tubbs is now wearing a navy blue suit ( looks black in the photos ) with the same black shirt as before . I have a lighter blue shirt coming soon . Crockett is still wearing the telltale white suit but the new one is more linen like whereas the other one was a lighter material and much thinner so you could see through it a little . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to get feedback on this stuff . As a Miami Vice Community , we have all paid attention to many details from the show . Input is a great tool to maximize accuracy in projects like these . Trying to talk my sculptor into doing Switek , Zito , Castillo , Gina and Trudy somewhere down the line . He's resisting but tells me he may do 2 more versions of Crockett . One depicting his 3rd year hairstyle and one depicting the longer hair from season 5 using actual hair for both . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zidders Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 These are amazing. My only critique would be Sonny & Rico needed to be smiling a bit more. I can see how they're perfect for action shots though. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdiegolo78 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) On 10/12/2017 at 9:11 PM, Party_car1 said: So , I'm such a Vice Head , I bought the Crockett and Tubbs toys from Mecca Toy manufacturers but was never satisfied with the overall look . This past year I found a sculptor and had them sculpt more lifelike heads . I then spent about 3 months trying to find the right body builds , clothes , shoes and weapons , right down to Sonny's spider rig shoulder holster ( not pictured ) and Ricco's hip holster . All total , I think I spent 100 dollars on each . Next is a 1/6 scale Daytona Spyder these 2 can actually sit in . They look as real as it gets! Where did you get them? I mean was it from Mecca toys site or eBay/Amazon? Edited February 22, 2021 by sdiegolo78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
