Awesome actually, quiet has small ankles, but you expect that from female figures. Any of the venom snakes are very stable. Gzbb pak is very stable to me also and i have 2 of them.

If they are the same as GZ,then i will pass.Mine keeps faceplanting on the shelf if i don't display it with the stand which also sucks,using a Hot Toys stand instead.The Joints are just too wobbly on thin chicken legs.

Like the look on the TPP Sneaking Suit figure.Body proportions look better,not sure if the legs and joints are any better though.

Another quick question re 1/2 scale arm. Is it weighted at all?

no its pretty light. Even though its small and light its still a nice little display piece, but if i had the money i'd easily hunt the 1/1.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Thanks.

Would it be possible to weight the bottom fairly easily do you think? Without it affecting the standing ability?

I want this as my key holder but guessing it will be too light at the moment. Possibly thinking of wall mounting it too.

If it was standing as a key holder i suppose you could muster up a new heavier base which still fit into the arm to let it stand up right. As for wall mounting i think you could easily do it with the standing base. Its a small plastic disc which has smaller little circles on, you could easily drill through them to make them holes and screw it direct into the wall?. I wrapped some plastic wrapping around the tube that slots into the hand just to make it a tighter fit.

Here are some quick phone pics if they help.

sort of how it would look against a wall.

Thank you for that I really appreciate it.

Guess I'll try and pick one up anyway. The 1:1 is just too elusive/expensive.

It really is right now—but I'm biding my time

...the price will probably just increase and I'll be sitting here in a year with no 1:1 arm while the 1:2 will be thrice as expensive on eBay.

Im thinking about getting a Kotobukiya Rex. Are they hard to assemble? And whats the time on assembly ?

I think it looks awesome as a completed kit. But i dont want to sit with a half completed Rex after getting stuck

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's pretty straight forward, might take a day or two.

Hey guys, I need your opinion regarding Japanese websites. I want to PO Ocelot and Kid Mantis, but I'm between Amiami and HLJ. What's your recommendation?

Auto bump this question [emoji14]

Both are fine but I personally prefer amiami (they ship out faster). If you want to consolidate your orders then go with HLJ (they offer 60 days of virtual storage).

Edit: you can cancel orders with HLJ before release whilst amiami doesn't allow cancellations.

I want to get a REX, should I build the Koto model or way for the new ThreeA?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

that depends on how big you want it to be or how much work you want involved in having a rex.

 

[InebriatedGnome]

The half-size from ThreeA looks very cool and will probably have more solid articulation than the model kit. That said, it's also $130 cheaper. I'm personally waiting but that's partly because I don't want to build a kit.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

i bought the koto rex but hes never leaving the box.

 

[Decoyoctopus10]

I heard a bunch of bad stuff about the original threeA one. Think that'll carry over?

Nendoroid Venom Snake painted

 

[Snake Plissken]

I can't even look at him the same way, knowing the ending to TPP... so ****ing stupid.

I've been in the same boat. The Koto and the half size rex arent too different size wise. Theres certainly not a big enough difference to pay 4x more for the 3a version. Of course the 3a is painted, assembled and has lights.

Its just a tossup really. Size isnt too big of a factor between the 2 though.

Im actually leaning more towards getting the kotobukiya version.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The 1/48 scale is enough for me.
