Your Latest Purchase...

The Flirty Girl wolf isn’t as detailed as the Mr. Z versions (though I don’t have the Mr. Z, but judging from their other animals I would imagine that to be an accurate assessment, since I have that Fliety Girl wolf — came as part of a figure set).

My Shaman got an animal companion: A "Smilodon populator" form Rebor. It's actually 1/11, but I feel it scales well enough to act as the Shaman's magic familiar...

Wow, that diorama looks really cool. I have ordered the ‚friendly’ shaman version, so I plan to use another head sculpt and tattoo it a little bit. A smilodon in 1/6 scale would really be a monster figure.

Hm... that doesn't sound good. Thank you for the warning. I'll go look for photos before deciding.

Well...    ... this arrived today via eBay:


Halloween Party Barbie & Ken Gift Set featuring pirate costumes was a 1998 Target Stores exclusive. I picked this one up fairly inexpensively through eBay. It's always a surprise to see sets like this, marketed toward collectors, that are twenty to thirty years old selling for next to nothing. Too bad that doesn't happen with recent release figures from the "action figure" companies.

I got to thinking about pirate figures a while back, and my intent behind this purchase is to evaluate the costumes for use on other action figures. Poor Barbie and Ken - for a quarter of a century they've been well taken care of and kept mint in box, and now most of their packaging is destined for the recycle or rubbish bins, and their sad naked bodies will be banished to thrift store purgatory to be unceremoniously mauled by grimy little rugrats.

Or not. It's such a cute set that I may have some trouble bringing myself to open it.

LOL, fun grab. I think the best part about this one is the fact that they aren't actually supposed to be pirates, but rather dressed up as pirates at a Halloween party.

I like it. Good luck making it fit on high end figures, but you never know...

I say leave them where they are. Nothing wrong with not “damaging” a sealed box like that, especially since most of it (let’s be honest) is really unusable for 1/6th figures, as it more than likely won’t fit any bodies.

It is a cute set, and it brings back some fun memories of Halloween parties past.

I would keep it intact.

I finally received the head sculpt of Harley Quinn from the BBK Harley Quinn's Revenge boxed set (seen here: https://onesixthfigures.forumotion.com/t3805-new-product-bbk-1-6-harley-quinn-s-revenge-bbk011?highlight=Harley+Quinn+s+Revenge), and finally decided to finish putting together (as best I could) of the Sideshow "classic" animated version of Harley Quinn. Unfortunately, I purchased the different head due to the face that Sideshow decided to use one of the smaller TBLeague bodies for this set, but as per usual with those @$$hats at Sideshow, the heads that came with the figure were too big (this seems to be common with those morons, as many of their heads are either too big or too small for whatever body they are using). I really like the BBK head sculpt, not only because it's the correct size for the body they used, but also because it's much cuter than the horrendously "mannish" head (primarily the one without the head piece) originals. The hands were so stiff I had to heat them up just to put the baseball bat in her hand, and the first time I did it, I actually snapped the bat in half right at the junction point of the wrapping to the "wood" and had to glue it back together. She also came with a large, over-sized (but appropriate) Mallet/hammer. She couldn't hold this thing to save her life. The wrist joint of the TBLeague has a hard time actually holding the bat correctly due to the weakness of that joint. Anyway... here's some quick pics.

Cute head sculpt, yet somehow unnervingly insane looking... which is the entire point of Harley Quinn, so it looks both attractive and appropriate.

I think she worked out very well, Mark. The head is great for this body and outfit, and you managed to create nice poses and photos.

The head you used is a great improvement, looks suitably unhinged!

(I don't know why they would specifically choose to use the smaller tbleague body and then not bother making a headsculpt the right size for it, but I'm glad you found one that works so well.)

Even if the original Sideshow heads had been sized properly, I would still like the BBK head exponentially better on that figure.   It’s a great match.

Thanks, everyone. Yeah, the BBK head is really well done, and very cute (has a Kristen Bell vibe to me); I gave her pony tails a bit of a cut and used some styling paste my wife doesn’t like to tame them a bit — but it think it also helps give them a “choppy” look, like she was just insanely cutting at her hair. I was almost tempted to get the entire BBK figure, but then thought the head would be put to better use on this figure, since I wasn’t all that happy with the Sideshow heads.

This arrived yesterday, following a journey through Time and Space, all the way from the year 2002: Takara Blue Box Cy Girls Aurora figure:



Even the box is in "near mint" condition. It would really be a shame to rip open this two decade old well-preserved relic, wouldn't it?  


I'm not yet past the point of no return, so I'll stop here and mull things over before proceeding.

Kind of neat how these old Cy Girl figures are making a comeback. Nice grab.

I remember anxiously awaiting for every new Cy Girl to come out.  Those were good times, especially since that figure sold for under $30 back in 2002.  I’m especially impressed with how well they’ve held up (if properly stored and cared for) over the years.  That Aurora looks to be in beautiful condition.

Great pick Dave!

Picked up a few things from Timewalker’s Valentines’ sale:

The Alert Line WWII Army Officer Uniform (since it doesn’t look like I’m ever getting the Pop Toys version that came out a couple years ago), so I can change the outfit on my civilian Steve Rogers (Captain America) so he can match Peggy Carter.

1 each of the Nightmare Series of undead Knights from Coo Model (as they fit the bill for enemies from the book I wrote for my wife):

https://onesixthfigures.forumotion.com/t3210-new-product-1-6-nightmare-series-ns002-coomodel-dark-raider?highlight=Nightmare


And lastly, Maggie Smith/McGonagall figure from Star Ace (I can use her Witch Hat for my Wicked Witch of the West), and I’m planning to add the figure (changing the outfit) for my Old West theme — as it’s nice to finally be able to add an older lady to the collection.

Here's the two Nightmare Series Knights. They have a very difficult time keeping their balance. The weapons and armor are all diecast (sigh), but the chainmail is just cloth. The joints are incredibly stiff, and the wrappings on the arms are just hockey tape, and impede the elbows a bit. Overall they are pretty cool looking, but there's stuff that could have been better. Still, they'll make good "cannon fodder."

Any one of us would have a hard time keeping our balance if our soft tissues were rotting away... I have picked up some of the pieces for kitbashing.

Great looking figures mark. Though their issues do seem disappointing

One of my favorite iconic gwg (girls with guns) actors is Milla Jovovich. Though 'The Fifth Element' or 'The Story of Joan of Arc' are better films she is best known as Alice in the 'Resident Evil' series. Btw: Besides her career as a model she is/was an excellent singer-songwriter.

This figure is made by SWTOYS. The body is ok, quite solid, though the knee joints look a bit weird. I love her face with the focussed angry look (of course the first pic is faceapped). The sniper rifle and the binoculars are not part of her accessories, but they fit to the window scene.

Great looking Alice!

@Stryker2011
Very nice zombie knights. I tried to pick up such a zombie body, when they were parted out, but had no luck.

@ElBundy
Your SWToys Alice and diorama look great. Only the headsculpt could be a little better. Maybe you want to pick up an alternative Mila head later...

Nice grabs everyone! Here is my latest:
- Painkiller Jane body (this one also has the problem with the default hands being super stuck. Haven't tried the hair dryer method yet. I also got the hands and head, which I've set aside for now.)
- JXK Malinois (light version)
- JXK white cat
- Mr Z white wolf
- Flirty Girl white wolf

Also: two JXK 1/12 horses, but the photos will have to wait until it's dry outside.

It's getting too crowded on my shelves. I sense a Detolf in my not so distant future...

@Diana
The wolves look very good as companions for your shaman duo. Very cool! Also, good to hear (and see) that you could get the Painkiller Jane body and head that you were looking for.

Very nice new additions, Diana!

Those wolves are so nice!
