Glad to have her back. Doubt we'll get a S3 Armorer unless she has some new tools/weapons in next weeks finale.

Picked up a jet pack from ThePropeteerStudio. It’ll work just fine.

I’m gonna use magnets.

I’m gonna use magnets.

I have several sizes I can use under that fur.

Can’t wait to paint this one up. Dusting off my airbrush after many years.

Not sure why she didn’t remove that fur to use this thing, but when she started swatting troopers midair with them tongs, I was like

Thank you and yes outside on one of the half a dozen days a year we see the sun in England. Rained almost everyday since.

The Armorer is such an awesome character. I hope they maintain the mystery around her identity.

V2/S3 with jet pack, forge, and weapons coming?!?


One can hope lol

Emily also needs this:

As per the art (Doug Chang did this?) end credits, give Emily a back pack Gatling gun attachment (like Paz and Jessie Ventura [Predator 1 with Arnold).

On sale again over at SS. This time I bought it. Has anyone modded the fur? It's the thing that's bugging me the most, a part from the single bend joints.

Oh wow So it would be like Kamino where it rained all the time?

Yeah! She’s so b-a!

I always loved the Armorer character and design so I jumped on it when the pre-order came up. Have to say though I was disappointed with the quality of the figure. It looks cheap and toyish with the fur being my biggest gripe. It felt like a Hot Toys cash-in rush job to me like the Tusken Raider.

I bought a faux fur sample from ebay to try (see pic). The only thing is, I need to dye it various shades but I have no experience with that, so it's going to need some research. The fur type could be more accurate to the costume with some work, so it's a start point. If anyone has any advice or links to useful YouTube tutorials, regarding dyeing fur in different colours/shades, please feel free to share. If I ever get it done I'll post the results. I also bought a spare helmet with the intention of doing a shinier brassy paint job. Other than that I'm waiting for someone to recommend the perfectly compatible, lazy, double-jointed, straight-up, body swap (no mods required).

If HT ever do a version 2.0 my wish list of improvements would be (LISTEN UP HOT TOYS):

1. Improved faux "wavy/curly" fur that doesn't shed easily. A regular version and a swap out shorter version for the jet pack.
2. Double-jointed body (considering the iconic Armorer pose, HT was really lazy with the current version. Unforgivable)
3. Shiny, brighter, brassy looking helmet (current one looks dull, over-weathered and plasticky)
4. Jet pack (hell yeah!)
5. Padding (if necessary), that doesn't hinder flexibility or posing.
6. Accessory of Bo-Katan's new shoulder armor (saves a double dip)
7. Grogu's chain mail with napkin and ridiculous oversize chest plate/medallion thing.
8. A stand with a regular post/waist grabber AND a swap out bendy flight post
9. Strong metal joints that don't snap
10. Tools without seams
11. A deluxe version with forge that I can look at but never afford with a real blue flame and no cell batteries needed.

Well I did say it was a wish list.

That price is pretty much too good to not jump on. I'm still holding out for a better Bo Katan though.

Edit: I guess I should say it was a great price. It's back to full price when I check now. Didn't have time to order it earlier...

My armourer arm broke when posing. Barely moved it, just shows how rubbish this body is. The arms bugged me more than anything so it forced me to part out the arm. Posing is much easier and improved. Plus don't have to worry about replacing the entire body. Annoying it broke but kinda glad it did too, forced me to replace the arms and now i've much more range to pose

Decided Bo needed it too. Only needed to put a bit of padding on the biceps so the arms didn't look scrawny

 

[dantes2501]

What arms did you use?

 

[El-Vi-Riachi]

I just used a cheap unbranded body since I only wanted better arms.

I only had to use a little plumbers tape to wrap around the arms ball joint to get a firmer fit. There may be better bodies out there but it worked for me.

Can you show me the results of the figures after changing the body

I didn't change the whole body just the arms
