Also I remember coming across a thread of someone who had a well done V mannequin that stood in his office!

And a little video from the film's costumer on.. the costume:

I've been putting together a V prop bust of sorts. Unfortunately the wig sucks, I might buy a better one with more weight to it - but that'll cost me maybe 2 to 3x as much ($12)

Cut the wig and repositioned the mask on the stand a bit.

The hair needs to be browner.

Yep. The wig is a cheapy, and I'm contemplating getting a much better, dark brown wig. I also thought about airbrushing the mask more white, less yellow - but in the right light it's not so bad (especially when it's right before you, and not on camera). Besides, by that time I'd of spent on an airbrush kit, + the mask... I could just get a better replica from the guy above for less.

I'd rather have someone pull some Vendetta moves instead of just impersonating the costume. The message of this comic/movie seems to be overwelmed by fanboyism.

What i'm trying to say is, i'm not impressed. Call me back when someone blows up Big Ben :)
