Useful items for sixth-scale environments (continuously updated)

1/6th is not a popular scale for these miniature brands. Almost everything is 1/12th scale.

in the case of the ones I posted I think most are 1:4 scale by the looks of it but some may be close to 1:6

This Bluetooth wireless, rechargeable speakerphone is made to clip to a hat brim or visor, so it’s small enough to fit inside a figure’s  1/6 backpack, or virtually any desk, vehicle etc.   It cost me $4 Canadian (roughly $3 US) at our Dollarstore Dollarama.  I am sure other Dollar Stores may have it or something similar.  Cheap instant remote controlled audio features, added to any figure or diorama.

I can be cruel    I showed my HT DeLorean to someone who also owns one – except, mine can play actual Marty and Doc dialogue, or Huey Lewis Power of Love, by remote control on my phone.  I told him that all the early HT DeLoreans could do this but the feature was discontinued because HT didn’t have rights to the music, and he believed me.

So to put this in perspective – for a cost equal to 00.16% of its current value, I upgraded my DeLorean with a cool feature of remote control audio features (and really it’s not even a permanent $3 cost, because I can instantly swap out the speakphone to any other purpose).

I've enjoyed some of these as well.  Virtually all of the Brand items reproduced by this toy are available in different sizes IRL, so in most cases, what they intended to be a 1/4 scale "Small package" simply becomes a 1/6 scale "Medium size package." My guys shop at 1/6 Costco.

Awesome find! I love that prank story... sometimes you just gotta do it!

That is what I was hoping to hear! I may pick up some of the UK versions when I next happen to be in town. last time I was in town was back in Jan/Feb so might be a while....

You are cruel! (I hope you let him know you were joking) But you're also lucky and inventive.

Someone on a Barbie FB group posted these - in the right setting they could look fantastic!

fantastic find! I think that could work very well in dios but especially for 1:6 model shoto shoots, the classic ounging on the stairs look

The link above looks rather messed up on my computer, this should lead you straight to the item on Aliexpress.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33039751621.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.

Nice find! I could see like a Hellfire Black Queen walking down the stairs with this.

Those are pretty cool; now I wish I had a reason to get one. I wonder if Don could use something like this in his Mid-Century Modern dioramas...

The "staircase" looks great! It makes a diorama, all by itself -- accomodate multiple figures and display them interestingly, while staggering them literally on a staircase for full visibility. Particularly, this could look cool for someone displaying figures on shelves that are about 22" apart, as it could function as the architectural connection making the shelves into one big space, ground floor, and first floor.

Has anyone seen a pic with an actual 1/6 figure, or at least a Barbie? The scale seems about right at 22" height, but I find it hard to visualize precisely. I suspect the "railing" will look a little low, but probably it's close enough for jazz.

This was the only shot on the fb post that had any dolls in - the steps are obviously a bit out of scale in terms of size and positioning and you’re definitely right about the low railing but it definitely has potential!

Yes, it definitely does. If you took away that doll crowd stacked up obviously for display, and substituted one or two, naturalistically going up or down the steps, it will look pretty good. I was right to think the railing might be low but it's better than I expected. It helps visually that it falls at the height of a person's hand -- that's lower than it would be IRL but has a kind of visual logic to it.

you could add height to the railing with a bit of patience and some suitable materials... but to be fair I have seen staircases just like that before in real life, complete with low rail and large steps, so honestly it still works

Great find on that staircase!

Disposable plastic liquor glasses make great 1/6th trash cans.

Brilliant!

good call! I personally use toothpick containers myself for bins with lids

Same line of thinking, paper cups make great laundry baskets. Plastic cups will fold easier, hence less suitable.



Now guess what I used as a baking form.

Inexpensive high-quality plastic boxes available at Walmart, Kroger, and Cotswold Collectibles, coming in several colors (clear/white, green, red, blue, purple) and sizes.

Ooh, the boxes are perfect for storing head sculpts. Although it's a bit creepy to see Agent 13 and Cap keeping decapitated heads in their belongings.

Question though, what heads and bodies did you use for Agent 13 and Cap? I tried searching for heads for Emily VanCamp, Agent 13 and Sharon Carter but came up empty.

First time I'm ordering overseas (KGHobby). I can get 3 female bodies for ~$150 shipped (Registered Airmail) whereas just 2 would cost me ~$180 on ebay from a US seller. I just hope shipping doesn't take forever.

Oh there are better boxes for that purpose (well, for mostly male neck-less heads) -- I think they are featured either in this thread or in the OSF Funnies thread (where Darth Vader surprises the emperor for Easter). Those boxes have 12 compartments and are carried by Walmart.

Anyway, this is Agent 13 on the left? I had no idea. Always thought of her as Michelle Pfeiffer. It has been too long for me to remember exactly what brand and product she is, but I do believe she is one of those that came with several different versions of hair. Come on, someone, help us out.

Thanks for the tip on the boxes!

Lol, I'm bad at faces but to me, she looks like a cross between comics and MCU Agent 13/Sharon Carter.

I see. I wonder if one of the third party Brie Larsen head sculpts might not work for this.

Or maybe KIMI KT004 or KT010?

I’m pretty sure that’s one of the “wannabe Charlize Theron” heads — but I can’t remember who made them.

Alas, I can't not think of Brie as Captain Marvel so I'm unable to use her for Agent 13.

Also, what bodies were used for these figures? I was thinking of getting a Phicen/TBL M33 for Cap but I wonder if it might be too small. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Found one that will work quite well.

Found it! It was GAC Toys, as I suspected but at first couldn't confirm. There appear to have been two issues with several different hair variations using the same head sculpt: GC006 and GC019. Here are some eBay links to some of these, but you can look around.

Edit: Crossposted with rui. You have found one of these indeed. And now that I look at it, I can see Charlize Theron in there.

Thank you for the kind words!

In the photos the Chris Evans head is definitely on an M33 (which is actually quite muscular, even if relatively slender for the TBLeague bodies -- only M31 and M32 are more slender), and Michelle/Charlize is (if memory serves) on an S23B. In fact, I think I remembered to use the same head on the same body in the catalog thread,
