I have been searching for a tiny leather jacket for years. Wrestling figures also provide that! I got it here if you also want one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Leather-Jacket-for-Wrestling-Figures-TNA-WWE-Accessory-/132070007753
Finally I can have William Shatner on his bike!

Awesome! I should go into business making things like that. I used to make doll clothing for my own dolls.

Very cool! I have a hard time finding good clothes in 1:12 scale.

Yeah, there really doesn't seem to be much other than selfknitted sweaters and hats. And most dollhouse figures are of Victorian age anyway so modern stuff is even harder to find.

But the Wrestling figures do seem to come with some capes and coats etc. and that's where I found this.

Thanks! It's a tiny tad too big for him but given the limitations I am really happy I found it!

Sexy is true, but it is the small one. Only 17 cm high ;)
Getting clothes for the big one is easy, not so much for the small ones. That's why I was so happy I found this.

A cool guy with a cool bike needs a cool leather jacket ;)

As you know I can do lots of things with my hands but sewing isn't one of them! I wouldn't even know where to start, to get the right measures and pattern etc.

But yeah, there are quite some people providing miniature clothes on ebay or etsy. Why not? If you have fun then it does not feel like work and could be a nice income.

Do you have any pictures of what you made? Just for fun, I don't want to buy anything. Although I was wondering about 1:6 scale Christmas sweaters in December...

Cool characters need leather jackets, don't they? If they have motocycles, it's a must-have :)

They definitely do! But it's really hard coming by clothes for small figures, as they are usually made of plastic and don't need extra clothes.

There is a famous picture of William Shatner, dressed as Kirk, driving on set with his motorcycle, while reading the script at the same time. I should try to re-create that ;)

Here's the pic: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cq-RJKfWcAI2vqj.jpg

I really think he should concentrate on driving!

Somehow I knew you were gonna say that! And I actually agree. Bad example and all that.

I can only hope that he was only fooling around for the journalists / photographers and not really driving.

As for why there was a motorcycle on set in the first place... They had very strict time schedule, to film as many scenes possible, as they had to finish at 6 PM exactly. And only half an hour lunch break, but it was far to walk. One day Leonard Nimoy started to go there by bicycle to be first in line. And apparently one day Bill upgraded ;)

Yes, it was probably just posing :) I guess it means when you drive for your lunch instead of walking, you get enough time for a short photograph session!
