Action Figure Chatter

I assume that Ice-man, Kitty Pryde, and Havoc are going to be the easiest to snag, maybe pheonix too. But seeing how Deadpool, Wolverine, Cable and Rogue are sold out on every site, and Deadpool has already hit $89.99 on ebay, I'm starting to lose hope. My fiance and my roommate both work overnight at a Wal-Mart, and are pretty good at spotting the figures and snagging them, said they will keep there eyes open. However, like I said they seem to be going before they even touch the shelves. I doubt hasbro learned from the last time they released a deadpool, and a wolverine and produced enough of them to be distributed....[See More]

Finally bought a 4 pack of the turtles from china, and they're great, except that they're also horrible lel

The turtles come individually sealed in baggies, when you open the baggies POW! You're elbowed in the face by powerful eye-watering fumes. Those bootleggers took the realism too far, I don't need these things smelling like an industrial sewer.

The chemical cocktail smells like a mix between wet tupperware and turpentine, it did make my eyes water and the stench lingers on my fingers. I'm guessing the bootleggers package these things too quickly, not giving the paint enough time to dry completely. Or they just hate ugly Americans and are taking us out in the least effective way possible, one toy collec...[See More]

Hello Gang, I was wanting to know if anyone has any experience with the figures based on the Penny Dreadful show? They're made by Biff Bang Pow toys and I know them to be more of a novelty/collectible company. I have seen the figures several times for decent prices and thought about picking a couple up for customs or background characters in displays since their clothing is pretty normal and the seem to have ML type articulation. I can't seem to find any reviews so I thought you all might be able to help me out.
Thanks ...[See More]

I, uh, "accidentally" ordered a bunch of Gundam 1/144th model kits because they were cheap and cool looking. Ive built 3 of them so far, and while theyre nice as is, I do want to go the extra step and detail one.

Any of you in Los Angeles want to hang out for a few hours and school me on how to make these things pretty? Or should I say weathered and ugly? lol

It's kinda hot to be working on stuff inside, but we can work in your garage or something. I can buy pizza or give you fodder as thanks or whatever, let me know

Also, what other kind of mech kits are out there besides Gundams? I'm also into sci-fi planes...[See More]

How many boxes or areas do you have dedicated to used hacked up parts that you haven't gotten rid of because you think there's a chance you can use them for something else lol. I think I've got like 4 shoe boxes of spare parts and some other dedicated areas. I do most of my customising at my desk at one place or use my double bed at home as there's a desk next to it. Sometimes you end up on the floor for customs that take too much space or you want to hoover up any clippings or dust from sanding etc but yeah what do you peeps do, probably always have a workspace and keep things in a chaotic order that only you understand like me xD...[See More]

Okay, so I'm currently in the process of making casts of an action figure that I have made in the past so that I don't spend as much time molding the same parts over and over. The body parts come out fine, but when I make casts of the joints, they cure hard, but brittle, so they snap if enough pressure is put on them. I'm worried about quality control, so I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a way or material to cast hard but flexible parts. I'm considering using a clear resin normally used for casting clear glasses or protective table covering, but I don't know if the material is any less brittle than casting resin.

Any advice or ideas would be great.

Thanks!...[See More]

(Sigh) It is a very depressing thing when you don't get any comments on that awesome figure you've spent ages working on.

I was wondeing if anyone had any advice on how to attract comments? Like the best time to submit a custom, how the featured custom works, and just any advice if you know any tips or tricks....[See More]
