1:6 TTL Suits on Hot Toys True Type Bodies

I was quite pleased to see the preview pictures of the latest offering from TTL and pre-ordered these suits as soon as I got the chance to, cos I can never get enough of 1:6 suits.



This is the 1:6 TTL Men's Dark Blue Men's Suit on a Hot Toys Slim True Type. The suit is too large for this body type.

















Here's the TTL Dark Grey Suit on Hot Toys True Type Narrow Shoulders Body

















Finally, here's 1:6 TTL Men's Suit Black with White Pin Stripes on Hot Toys True Type Caucasian Body.










IMHO, the best body for this suit is the Narrow Shoulder Hot Toys True Type.



The collars are oversized, the jacket's lapels tends to flare out and you need to tie the neck tie yourself, but the tailoring on this suit is very good and is on par with Saturday Toys' suits.



Overall, they're a nice addition to my 1:6 Men in Suits.

   Shaun, agree with you as the fabric used to make this suit is pretty good. I saw the suits yesterday but still considering to buy the black with white pin stripes..

   @arthur: you can look at them appreciatively from the comfort of a steiner recliner.
   
   @des: black with white pin stripes is the best looking of the lot.

   Shaun, thanks for this post about men's suits. The information about the best body for the suits is helpful, but I just LOVE the last photo of your Hot Toys guys in suits. They look great!

   You're welcome D7ana, hope u manage to pick the suits up, they're quite alright. I'm quite mad for group photos, hence the last shot. :)
