Action Figure Chatter

An update

This project was successfully funded, congrats to those folks.

However, I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed in the figure collectors who are so eager to pay through the nose for more of this same stuff, or customizers who don't speak up and ask what makes these things worth buying over what's already out there for our needs. As far as I can tell, the answer is nothing. ...

Absolutely right, 5-10 dollars for figures is the answer for those folks at Cryptid Toys, or have some actual characters worthwhile to go with the blanks that we would be willing to spend on. I am curious to see what they have in store for the 6" scale after the Female bodies get unlocked... Aliens?

I'd be interested in a parts pack with many different alien heads/hands/feet, and lots of human heads too.

Fullbody aliens would be sweet, I love scifi and creature stuff.

Great looking mech and review, thanks for posting. I'd love to collect stuff like that, but at that price point I'd rather build it with Lego and create a lot of added features.

They are post apocalyptic alternative history.

1:18 scale (3.75 inches like the original Star /wars toys) with transforming mechs and amazing weathering paint apps. They are a little pricey and difficult to get hold of (BBTS stocks them), but well worth it, and they generally go up in value. They are about to release a 1:28 scale (2.5 inch) line too.

I've got a few YouTube videos of them ...

Nope, tell us all about them

Hi..Waiting on pics.!!

There's a lot of chatter about lotr in this topic http://www.figurerealm.com/topic?topicid=9511

From my experience selling my lotr stuff a while ago, there are some key figures that sell for a lot, like horses, the dragon/snake mount things, the giant trolls, etc. Most of the other stuff sells for like 5 to 20 bucks, depending on the character, if it's in package, etc.

Thank you, yeah all figures are in the Packaging never opened, thank you for the advice I'll try see if there is any key figures.

Good luck with that, looks like a cool display piece.

It might actually be cheaper to try to get that 3D model and have it printed and painted than having someone make it from scratch lol. Though I'm sure there's a Hulk figure somewhere out there that would work as a cheap base.

I guess that's not too bad of an idea! I only wish that Dark Wolverine was worth a little less, especially because I'd want to try and get his unmasked head too!

My personal opinion is if you're already more in line with the Dark Avengers team with the figures you already have and plan to get, I'd suggest going that route. Just seems it would be the easier, faster route to assembling a team, you could always build the other team later and have Aries serve double duty on both!

I have been working with a 2 part silicon mold lately( from michaels art supplies ) Mixing equal parts of the "A" and "B" components and then making impressions of armor patterns and different elements that are sculpted on the figures. Then filling the mold with sculpty clay and pressing the clay filled mold directly on to a different figure. If it is a simple impression ( meaning not too elaborate of a pattern ) I will peal off the mold befor heating it up, to set the clay ( with a black&decker paint stripper heat gun ) the benefit being that it can be altered ( in this case , streatched out)
For Elaborate paterns or shapes ( lots of small details ), the part gets boiled. then place in the freezer or a little while.
So I bet if take off his jacket ( agent colson"s)
sculpt a fatter chest ...

Yea, and the worst thing about Mezco Breaking Bad figures is that they're not articulated
