    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    Mohair is known for being a soft, but tough fiber, depending on how it's prepared and the original fiber curl. I had "strong" stubborn fiber that wants to do its thing, have to pretty well force it with plenty of gel, hair spray, water e.g. weigh it down. Which wasn't what I was planning on; I...

    1/6 Hot Toys - TMS112 - Ahsoka series: Chopper

    Oh, am hyped, luv Rebels, Chopper cracks me up. I might've weakened if Ezra were released. But bought the Rebels as Black Series and that will have to represent. Money, space, and money. With my Mando figs - and I have main characters mostly - just can't see another group. And I'd want Kanan...

    1/6 SSC Gambit Sixth Scale Figure

    I use a "personal heater" I've had for a few years. One of those little things designed for a desk. Grab some forceps, hold the offending part next to the grid, carefully heat up, and fix whatever. Plus it has a fan so you can then cool the plastic, but an ice cube works too.

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    What is the jokor hair variant? And yeah, as I recall the sharpening stone was separate and I left it in the box for now, since I'd probably lose it with the fig just sitting out on the desk, for now. If you mean your hair is &^% I had posted a whole book way salvaging his hair (which at this...

    1/6 Hot Toys - DX26 - Obi-Wan Kenobi Series : Obi-Wan Kenobi

    LOL if it weren't for payment plans - and even with - I may be down to 3 figs a year. Laughably tho I completely forgot, for the most part, that I had a standard ordered at Alter Ego after he sold out at SSC. Who are always awesome:clap and sent a shipping notice, and just got him out of the...

    1/6 SSC Gambit Sixth Scale Figure

    Thanks to Spooktaculer my first X-men rolled in - I've been happy with the few Sideshow figs I have an this is no different. Yeah, I think the shaded armor on the other version is nice, but think the sculpt here is a bit less grim than SooSoo which for me is better for the character (tho I did...

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS125 - Ahsoka series: Baylan Skoll

    Just sayin' Amazon sells several different brands of fray check for fabrics :frank Not sure if I will use on mine or not. I am going to check out lighting this guy up, just worry about the delicate wires/ connections.

    Asmus Toys - Thranduil

    IMO this is interesting just seeing how collectors view things. Obviously I'm a happy ASMUS customer. And while I'll readily agree the InArt Thorin face looks spectacular - like the actor/prosthetics/hair and Aragorn's sculpt is very nice, for me my first InArt wasn't nice enough, as it were...

    Questions for Asmus

    I am just one fan/customer but haven't been so happy since I received my first Thorin (and I own multiples of him, beautiful figure and still in perfect condition). Thank you ASMUS! Thranduil in his berry crown:love. I own a couple of WETA Thranduils but it's just not the same as a figure. You...

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    Plz stop talking about his forehead, it's beginning to kick off my OCD which probably all collectors have to a degree, it's gonna be like that whole mole thing in that movie....:lol Like he's standing right next to my computer while I wait for his RANGER CLOAK:cuss and I was all happy I was...

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS125 - Ahsoka series: Baylan Skoll

    D@mn Sir Ray would have made a great LOTR wizard. Like, a blue wizard. Or something. He's got the presence of a Bernard Hill :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 Then I think of what could have happened with Kylo if he hadn't kissed a girl and keeled over and died.:banghead Can't wait to get him in...

    Questions for Asmus

    Very happy to have ASMUS back and the question of the day for me is when will Thranduil be released ( and can you consider doing Dain?:pray:)

    InArt - Harry Potter 1/6 Collectible Figure

    Personally after receiving an Aragorn with $#&% hair their puff piece about their process is nonsense. Guess you have to hope whoever is rooting a sculpt isn't rushing for a lunch break. At least my paint job didn't have streaks or anything. Or mismatched eye paint.

    Asmus Toys - Thranduil

    TBH think ASMUS needs to be consistent about their sculpts and quality control, past that I hope they stay as they are using vinyl and plastics effectively (like Thorins armor scales that I had to poke at to check if they were metal, or what. Still shiny and no peeling!) At least, since I only...

    Asmus Toys - Thranduil

    The short answer is most of the time, yes. Some folks here would be happy to tell you about some gaffes tho. These include a Frodo release where some folks got blue eyes but others got this sort of dark green; the Faramir where the quiver was glued in the wrong direction; Gollums where the body...

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS125 - Ahsoka series: Baylan Skoll

    No, you don't. Stuff I am interested in but don't want to go all in, I just get a Black Series fig. Or an Iron Studios 1/10 if available. The only justification would be to do some sort of kitbash with the sculpt/body, which will probably cost as much as the figure.

    Asmus - 1/6 Gollum/Smeagol

    Am happy with Sideshow being involved; I like my mythos Obi-Wan a lot; and Gambit is due in tomorrow. Sideshow figs I know have gotten complaints with loose joints etc. but they seem to do a nice job with the look, like the Jawas. Good sculpts too. While my InArt Aragorn is fine (after the...

    Questions for Asmus

    For real, I thought Thranduil was supposed to drop for Spooktacular, which is almost over. But I can be patient. Had to laugh when a Y-Tuber was going on that the new Obi-Wan had been over a 2 year wait, or something. I'm still waiting. And while I'd order InArts Thorin not giving up my ASMUS...

    1/6 Hot Toys - DX26 - Obi-Wan Kenobi Series : Obi-Wan Kenobi

    He looks fantastic - I still love my original Obis but this one looks epic. The whole rock thing is a great effect. The circle will be complete until HT release an artisan version. :monkey3

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS125 - Ahsoka series: Baylan Skoll

    Nice vid. Every vid reminds me why I jumped in on this fig. It's interesting this is the second vid I've seen where there's sort of a caution about not going overboard on POs coz HT is releasing some good stuff. TBH glad for my PO delays 'coz I bought this fig and some other stuff I hadn't...
