Useful items for sixth-scale environments (continuously updated)

Brilliantly spotted and carried out, Christine! And wheelchair Ken was so impressed he stood up and started walking!

That turned out great! Perfect shelves for 1/36 figures!

Awesome shelves, Christine. Looks perfect for a modern-industrial look.

Really clever stuff!

Great shelving idea, looks fantastic - and what a great use of bamboo plant labels, that’s a smart idea for all sorts of craft, I’ll have to look out for those. Thanks for sharing!

I recently purchased this Disney Cinderella accessory pack off of Amazon because I thought with a bit of new paint, it might work well for one-sixth scale people. It comes with a good amount of stuff and on Amazon you can buy it for $16.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BWH2JYC3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These look quite nice and seem to scale well.

Great pick up, it has so much potential!

They do look pretty well done.

Indeed. I have been assembling, partly customizing, partly making, some office pieces, and will add these, although they have a different look.

Beg-mail (letters asking for a donation) often contains small gadgets such as this plushy. I already posted a teddy bear somewhere but this  one is more Christmassy (and odd).

Cute.

Keyholder - taxi sign. With a little light inside but it's getting weak after all these years.

Now I only need a 1/6 scale taxi.

She tried to catch a taxi cab, got hold of the light, but the cab sped up, leaving her with... only the light...

Very nice, that taxi sign gave me a laugh thanks! Very useful thread and will be watching for things to place in the house build going on.

So, while at work I was fiddling around with one of my desk pens as I normally do, clicking it in and out and even disassembled it, when it dawned on me that the center ring might double as a bracelet. If I hadn’t just purchased a couple of sixth scale bracelets the thought wouldn’t have even entered my head. I have yet to try it on a figure, but the overall diameter is at 3/8 of an inch, so it looks promising.

If this has already been mentioned before I apologize.

Well spotted, Steven.

THAT explains this new notice in the office.

I'm sure Steven was using his own pen, and can do with it as he pleases.

The problem being a (Phicen) woman usually has 2 arms.

Excellent idea!

Everytime great to see your all inspirations in this thread. Thanks all !

Instead of pilfering pens you can also buy these cheap sets of rings in the "arts & crafts" department of Ebay. Just an example, find the cheapest and most reliable seller yourself :

Order the 10mm size.

Ah, yes. They can also be found in various craft/sewing/yarn/fabrics stores, or maybe in relevant sections of supermarkets.
They are usually called jump rings. 10mm seems to be perfect for 1/6 scale, 5 or 6mm work for 1/12.

I've also used nose rings as 1/6-scale bracelets.

8mm or 10mm are ideal options. They also have a nice variety of colors.

I recommend that latest batch of rings I linked too, these are easy to open and close. For other batches I had to use a tool.

I can't find the post back but someone mentioned that a figure was wearing " TeddyBear Pyjamas" from Elves Behaving Badly.
So I went looking for this item and found the (only) vendor on Ebay UK. They are British and selling abroad.
I found these pyjamas and a few more items suited for 1/6th scale. Each item costs £3.78.

Phicens are S51, S26, S28 and S22 (I think).

Teddy Bear and Elves pyjamas (pink and blue striped). The vests are somewhat too large, the "borrowed from my husband" kind of large. The pants are not too large though.



Blue and pink Elf dressing gowns. Also somewhat too large.



And finally the Elf Life Jacket. Looks large but could be the exact size. For a special night I guess.

Found this fan (which does fold in on itself) at HL as a jewelry making item. A quick snip of the eyelet and a quick sand to remove the sharp edge left by said snipping, and Koko has a new, on theme, fan.
