1/6 Hot Toys - MMS245 - Captain America: TWS - Falcon Collectible Figure

I didn't mock your work. I just asked why you went to such lengths to re-wire LEDs when you could have simply tinted the existing ones.

Work smarter, not harder.

You did indeed ask an innocuous question. However, I concur with others that it was a bit superfluous and unnecessary to bump a two week old thread just to simply post a GIF of a cricket and a video to seemingly give yourself satisfaction that you were "right", predicated on the fact that he never replied and therefore, must have had no rebuttal.

The Marvel section seems to be one of the busiest sections on this board, so it's quite possible that this thread got relegated to the second page prior to your question being answered and went unseen.

Username took the right approach anyway. If you want red, put in red LEDs. Trying to negate green from a yellow LED by filtering is a PITA and will never be the red you want.

I agree. If you're going to mod a high end collectible, you might as well spend the few extra dollars and do it right.

But surely a clever person would just have tinted the LEDs, lol.

Well..it was part of an auction with a Cover Girls of DC Universe Starfire statue. It was used...but it had all the parts. Posted pics of Falcon on my IG account! He is a nice figure and I couldn't pass up getting him for $120 shipped (Starfire was $110).

Ah, very cool! Absolutely nothing wrong with used figures. They tend to be cheaper and as long as they were essentially just put on someone's display shelf, were handled with care and the set still contains all of the original parts like you said, it's a very good deal.

Thank you! I am very happy with Falcon...but he is a pain to display!

I'm eager to see the inevitable Civil War variant. I don't have this one, but I am excited to eventually add a Falcon to the collection.

I took off the goggles on my figure and noticed it left a mark on the bridge of it's nose.

Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Ghost of QG]

Yes. If you read the instructions it says that if you leave the goggles on for too long it will smudge th epaint.
