Received a few days back (week + at this point?) two additional sweaters from the same shop I had tried out previously (EmbroideryDollsGoods on etsy). The fit is a touch big, but it honestly works quite well. I picked up a white sweater with pockets, and a pink sweater jacket. I now have the fall/winter wardrobe effectively made up for Kas.

Also pictured, some accessories I picked up from HL and the doll house section. Nicely size gift box, gingerbread man (came with two friends), and donut (there are more, with white and pink icing respectively).

there's is quite a bunch of nice lovely mail in the present today that ca be put to good use in a dio:

Thanks BAM!

Valiarde wrote:These look really well done. I'm no expert when it comes to military figures, so I don't know how many different parts you used here to kitbash these figures, but the result is great.

Thanks Valiarde, their uniforms are WWII german uniforms with the lower pockets removed and painted green, I use those cause Dragon made probably millions of those uniforms and are generally cheap.

Another beautiful educational entry, I like the lighting, looks like evening sun. First I thought the head of Trooper #2 is a bit large, but now I thin kit gives him character.

Thanks Ovy, perhaps the door bites, but to know that we need the ghostbusters or maybe a D&D group to see if the rogue gets eaten. You are correct in saying that trooper has a big head cause he really does, at the same time his pith helmet is also weirdly big but I guess it's one of dragon's early helmets that were made for their big heads.

Deathstroke (Slade Wilson) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez, and debuted in The New Teen Titans #2 (December 1980) as Deathstroke the Terminator.

In his comic book appearances, Slade Wilson is depicted as an elite operative in the U.S. Army who gains enhanced physical and mental abilities from an experimental super-soldier serum and becomes the ruthless mercenary Deathstroke. Widely considered the greatest and deadliest assassin in the DC Universe, he serves as the archenemy of Dick Grayson and the Teen Titans, and is also an adversary of other superheroes such as Batman, Green Arrow and the Justice League. Deathstroke's vendetta against the Titans began when he swore revenge for the death of his eldest son Grant; his two other children, Jericho and Rose, would go on to join the Titans to oppose him. A bicolored, black-and-orange mask that covers his missing right eye serves as Deathstroke's visual motif.

Not to be confused with Deadshot, another armor wearing assassin and mercenary, who is an expert in firearms and deadly sniper that boasts to have "Never missed a shot".

Funfact: at one point, Deathstroke and Deadshot where hired by rival criminal organizations in Gotham, resulting in an all out war between the two, that only ended because Batman managed to track them both down and put an end to it.

I picked up an AT201 a little while back and wanted to get familiar with how it worked, moved, and came apart before I made any judgement.

My first impression was "glad I only paid $40 for this." I was underwhelmed to say the least. Some of it is shock factor coming from seamless to jointed, but some of it was also in the already noted articulation (it is not TBL, but it has its merits).

The joints are also very stiff on mine, but not so bad that I think they'll break from moving them. The torso/chest on mine wants to stay loose, which is a bit obnoxious. The feet and hands are fantastic.

After some time I have grown to enjoy it. I found her a kind of gym-adjacent outfit (I don't own any pants that fit the hips, which is a thing) and made the mental connection that this is more a jumbo Figma than anything. I love Figmas, so that worked wonders for me.

All in all, after some time, she is now my #2 fav body overall. I have pre-ordered the AT203 and one of each for the chest swap parts so I can customize as needed. I love that they are doing that and it is a great move on Worldbox's part.

Here are some quick, basic photos with the headsculpt she now has:

Thanks guys for weighing in and because there are always two sides to a coin, I am sure choice #2 has their reasons (as mentioned above). Maybe my past experiences have coloured my expectations but nevertheless - I'm sure there will be someone out there who will be able to help me with what I would like to have made..I just need to keep looking.

davidd wrote:Hmmm... sounds to me like the maker has been "burned" by customers complaining about the colors of finished items after the work has been completed. If somebody simply says "red" or "blue" the Maker will pick red or blue fabric and get to work. Hobbyists are often trying to replicate an exact "screen accurate" look for a character, and might not be happy with what the Maker ends up choosing.

Additionally, even sending photos might not be sufficiently accurate, as video monitors are often calibrated differently. The Maker might interpret a color seen on a monitor differently than does the purchaser, which could again result in complaints from the purchaser when the final product "is the wrong color."

I could be mistaken, of course, because I'm not directly familiar with the situation, but I suspect the Maker is trying to reduce the likelihood of purchaser complaints that arise after the work is done.

GubernatorFan wrote:I suspect David is right about why Choice #2 made this demand.

Good point - but to be fair though Choice#2 could have said "hey buyer - we don't have the colour you need but we do have these colours for you to choose from as an alternative.." but maybe that's just my service industry experience getting the better of me.

Stryker2012 wrote:The gal who made the dress and fur coat for my Nika (Olga Kurylenko) figure, sourced everything herself. She’s a custom wedding dress maker by trade, but she/they make stuff for 1/6 scale figures. I was hoping to get a more “silken” material for the dress, as it was more or less a “slip”, but she explained that the material she chose worked best at this scale, and since she was the professional, I deferred to her. I can give you their Etsy store link and you can contact them (there’s 3 that work out of that store). This being wedding season, it could be a bit before they can get around to it.

Thanks Stryker for the recommendation - please do share their details and I'll drop them a line to see if they can help.

Fantastic find - great addition to your Matrix set-up. I definitely enjoyed the #1 story best, although #2 Trinity on that Ducati 996 would be fantastic, if a bit tricky to source in 1:6? Great photos!

Guys, do you think these neck pegs will work on Rukawa's head? Which one do you guys think is the best option?

GubernatorFan wrote:Why couldn't they call her Volcanic Warrior or something?

Maybe they did call her "Volcanic Warrior," and then it's another of those Google Translate things (though I suppose Google wouldn't introduce a geographical Proper noun).

Irony #1 is that the only connection whatsoever to Pompeii/Volcanic is the lava ground in the promo pics, and yet this is the one time (thankfully) TBL didn't make a base, so any connection fails entirely. Irony #2 would be that there can't even be any awareness whatsoever of Pompeii in any time period that would be consistent with her sword/shield/gear. It would have to be pre AD 79, or post 1693 (rediscovery), and nothing inbetween.

Inexplicable figure, with no feature (to my taste at least) that would engage me. The Orange version has a very Assassin's Creed look to my eyes -- was there maybe anything in those games about Pompeii?

Thanks Ovy! At this stage Dax, is fighting to stay in that jeep! BUddha on the over hand looks less than impressed!

GubernatorFan wrote:Excellent photography and poses. Daxter looks great in action, and the M32 body works very well, especially fully clothed, although I still prefer the M33 in general. I just noticed (again) that M33's arms are overly long, but that this is true for other TBLeague male bodies too, though perhaps a little less apparent. The bad guys are nicely done too. The head sculpt of the guy in the white suit and Hawaiian shirt looks familiar but I can't quite place it -- what is it?

Many thanks Ian! I will agree the 33 is a much more muscular body and probably my fave too, but the 32 works well for soldier types like Dax . As for the head sculpt, that came with a 1940's style adventurer set. That set was out probably at least fifteen plus years ago (Yikes!)

That is so kind to say, I do try to work out my characters before I show them.

BAMComix wrote:Dax is on a M32, less bulk as the 33 but nicely toned.

HE IS???
I actually have one in the box that I haven't used, because the Bruce Lee body seemed very specific. I had no idea he could look like this!
I guess it's time to take him out of the packaging after all!

Yeah, the M32 is more versatile than one might think. I think the promo pics focus too much on Bruce Lee and he is often posed with straight T shaped shoulders, but if you let him relax a bit, especially when you let the shoulders hang down, it becomes universally athletic.

I use is on the "Southern Warrior" for example and shaped the armor onto him and ReverndSpooky is using it for St. Crow for example wearing a biker vest, looking very lean. The Latissimus is still exploding but seems way less extreme.

Thx! The wooden furniture is produced by ButterflyFamily, a very nice polish shop on Etsy.

Ovy wrote:Nice set up, that customizable wall really pays.

Is the one in photo #2 that Harry Potter witch with a wig and face app?

Thx for your kind comment. The head sculpt is inspired by Cameron Diaz and yes, it is faceapped to achieve the aspect of a more mature lady.

That is her look without faceapp

Nice set up, that customizable wall really pays.
The waving floor is only noticable when you look for it, but maybe you could print the floors on heavier paper ? Or use wood or metal beams as physical bottom bars between wall and floor.

Asta wrote:After the encouragement of your message I reversed the robe on Tusken #2 this morning, so that the split was at the front.

After encouragement and inspiration from you, I couldn't resist and did the same. Have not yet had a chance to get and customize Kenner/Hasbro Obi-Wan robes. I did add some padding over the upper torso and shoulders, and segments of the arms, in the form of layers of kinesiology tape. May have helped a little bit.





Confident in his somewhat improved look, he took a stroll in the desert. And look! He's already made friends:

GubernatorFan wrote:Thank you for the additional information, Asta. Again, excellent work, both by yourself and Coco's talented seamstress. I picked up a Kenner/Hasbro Obi-Wan to try to follow your example with the inner robe -- and maybe see what I can do with the outer robe (since one of Coco's is not likely in the cards for me).

After the encouragement of your message I reversed the robe on Tusken #2 this morning, so that the split was at the front:



It's not perfect, but it does break up the solid outline of the stock Mando Tusken robe. In hand it looks much more appealing than before...




Taking his 'dress' off wasn't too bad at all, so I don't know why I didn't attempt it in the first place.

GubernatorFan wrote:

Stryker2011 wrote:Looks good. Like you, I’m so stuck on OT Raiders that it’s hard to get past the overly clean look of the Mando versions.

Agreed, while I realize mine is not the genuine figure (besides some of the accessories I did not pick up, I also don't employ any padding on the body -- largely lest it impede articulation), I'm slightly underwhelmed, probably because subconsciously I'm attached to the slightly different OT look. And unless I'm mistaken, the Sideshow version got that better (naturally, since that is what it was going for), and I am extremely impressed by what TheBooBomb was able to do with the Hasbro version. But it's good enough for now -- and never a grail character for me anyway.

The original designs are so classic, and instilled in my brain, that I knew changing at least one of my Mando Tuskens was going to be essential.

I ordered one of Cocoboloboy's outer robes before he started offering the inners, but when he showed photos of the figure upgraded with the full set I started to fashion something myself.

I took the inner robe from the 1990s Kenner Obi-Wan, put it on backwards and started cutting excess material away until it looked OT-like. I coloured it with a wash of acrylic paint, which gave it a grubbier appearance.




I originally planned to keep the second Mando Tusken as stock, representing a different tribe. However, the inner robe fashioned being like a dress rather than a wrap bothered me.

While searching for photos of ANH Tuskens I found a selection showing a screen used costume on display. One of them looked like they'd used the outer robe as an inner one, wrapped over with the belt fastened around it:



It corresponded to the look used for the bantha riders in ANH:




I tried it with the Mando robe, and it works for the upper half, but not so well for the lower as it's too short and not full enough:




So I put Tusken #2 into the background behind some Jawas, so only the better half is on show:

GubernatorFan wrote:Very cool. I love these figures (there have been a number of them, by Enterbay and others), but they really ought to partner up with TBLeague.

So very very, true. So often when I see these out there being resold they've been swapped onto the TBL AA body. The seamlesness and more realistic skin texture seem essential especially for something like the NBA, which is such a grounded and real world subject (more so than warriors or barbarians etc). People must be telling Enterbay the same thing all the time, so it's frustrating they are not listening. There was a time when Enterbay was so much at the top of the 1/6 field that it was considered exceptional the #2 guys, Hot Toys, would meet them head on with competing Godfathers. Both companies are arrogant, but Hot Toys tempered it with flexibility and some ability to evolve. So we rarely discuss Enterbay anymore except for the NBA niche where they still do terrific work but hampered by pre 2015 technology.

Obviously I need to work on Tip #2 within the context of Black Friday sales. These McDiscounts being offered on $100+ figures won’t even cover a trip to Starbucks. Fortunately, that puts me in very little danger of breaking Tips #3-5.

My Holiday Shopping tip? If you didn’t want it bad enough to at pay full price, then you’ll probably regret buying it on sale.

badass attitude on Cecile... makes sense to use different bodies to add realism (I am usually stuck with S16/17 and S24/25, because I like them best. Maybe I should reconsider that approach )

You didn't miss anything.
Cecile is Tanea's best friend and #2 of another team. Her main gift is agility, but she is also cunning and has a good sense for battle strategy.
Kaelee is mentally gifted and can navigate the Dream World. Her main gift is empathy, to the point of being a danger to certain elites in power...

More about them later, when their looks near completion a little more. ^^
