Is that actually a 1/6 version of the 1/12 SHFiguarts Iron Man packaging, Valentin, or did you photoshop it? Either way, it looks very cool!

LOL, it's not photoshop.

It's just an empty box with photo artwork on it. It's from china, got it about 7 yuan.

Technically, it's a 1/6 version of the original.

So what would a 1/6 version of a 1/12 figure be? 1/72?

LOL, technically it is a 1/72 of the original sized iron man MK50 in the movie.

My Super Duck "Jill Valentine" head came finally in today. I tried different bodies to match the skin tone and found that the Jiaou Doll "Wheat" fits sufficiently well. Since the body was already equipped with the Kier armor, Jill went to the local Dungeon to hunt some Goblins...

It's really a gorgeous head sculpt...

Very nice bash and photography, Ralf. Looks infinitely more beautiful than Kier, to me.

I like it!

Excellent photos, R. They both look good.

Looks good! I like the use of the Kier armour on that figure.

Great looking figures!

Nice grab!

Thanks! The head sculpt is really great. That said, it is a mystery to me why the side-flipped her haircut, so that the head is not really faithfully resembling "Jill Valentine". Interestingly, the hair is correctly oriented in the pictures of the upcoming full sets by Super Duck.

My guess, just like the other hairstyles and colors, is to give the impression it’s NOT Jill Valentine, but just a random woman to be used for anything.

Jill Valentine does not ring a bell here - but it is a really pretty sculpt !!

She’s a character in the Resident Evil video game series.

On my end my new one finally just arrived. Just unboxed and made some photos. Really like how it's look like the one which advertised.

Very nice.

She looks great, Venator5!

Blonde Widow looks great; I only have the head.

I agree, a great looking addition!

Birthday HAUL.... It's not all 1/6, but it's nice to collect all preorders at one go(though wallet and bank heavily protest against such actions).

Gonna spend the night slowly opening them all.

Happy Birthday!

Thuder Toys Hell Ranger & Horse arrived (well, the horse arrived a couple weeks ago, but the Ranger himself just arrived a couple days ago, but I had to get batteries to operate the lights in his head (unfortunately, that light doesn't transfer to his flaming skeleton hands or his hat. The horse is pretty cool, though the saddle is crap (the same stupid one they gave to the Mr. Z Hanoverian (and completely inappropriate for an Old West character). The power chord does indeed plug into the horse's behind -- and by that I mean the female outlet for the power supply is directly where one would find the horse's... ahem... anal passage. Someone at these companies has a fairly juvenile sense of humor when they made this thing. While the hooves don't light up, and the flames on the flanks don't light up much, the head and chest do light up quite well. The chest is particularly cool as it has a flame effect that wavers similar to an electric fireplace. Very cool. The underlying body is fairly stiff and appears to have somewhat of a ratchet system.






And here's the human head (Sam Elliott...?)

Wow, that's quite a cool effect.

Rolling my eyes at the plug-in location though.

I'm waiting on the Sam Elliott head/no horse version. With a darker paint job around the eyes & brows, I think the sculpt would've been a lot more recognizable.

I wanted to order the horse but a) lack of space and b)too many pre-orders already draining my finances.

(They could've had the usb plug go into one of the back hooves, making the cable less visible for display purposes.)

Very cool acquisition, Mark. They look great lit up, and I do think the human head is based on Sam Elliott, at least loosely.

More great arrivals guys!

Holy cow! What a nice haul. Happy Belated Birthday indeed!

Thank you @GubernatorFan and @Stryker2011

Here's one more hidden unpolished gem, since her sleeves and boots finally arrived late last night from China.

Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed Destiny.



Tentative 360 video


Looking to build Eternal's bridge and other characters as well.
