How did it work when the ball joints are 2 different sizes in the shoulders? I didnt even attempt it.

Well, the bar that connects the arms to the body has a thin pole on one end to slide in to the arm, and a thick end to plug in to the body. Both ends of this will fit inside the hole of the gekkos arms but only the pole half slides in. The thick end doesnt click or stay in the arm but it does go inside so i lightly glued the rim of the sockets to keep the arms connected. It is possible to make a good mistral staff (better than my half arsed one at the moment) it just means sacrificing 2 gekkos

Btw i preordered 3 sets. If i decide i dont need one ill let you know.

...And i managed to disconnect the staff fully, and cleanly and have reformed the 2 tripods! experiment a success!

Love can bloom on a message board <3

I actually finished making a video about an hour ago. It was pretty decent, but the shrink wrap on the package had a mirroring effect on my tighty-whities, so I had to delete it. There's no way I'm wearing clothes in my apartment. Not ever.

Here's some pics of my collection. Its a work in progress as I buy different things to display them. I don't like how cluttered it looks...but its sitting like that in the meantime xD

Any suggestions on how to display things? I really wanted a wall display for the kubricks (have like 70+)
Also those UDF figures are such a pain keeping up, they always tip over.

Thinking something like that...but it would need to be like 8" for UDF and McFarlane figures... >.<

any tips are greatly appreciated!

Really nice collection. When I want to prevent my figures from falling, I use some blue tacks. Where did you got the Phantom Pain pictures, and whom are they signed by?

That's some real awesomeness of a custom I have ever seen.

Those are some great stuff you own, but I agree that they are cluttered together. PAK batman & joker are totoally out of place
You could use acrylic stand to help create level & dept (https://dennis-toys.blogspot.com/2008/12/acrylic-stands.html). +putting similar things/type/serie together (ex. PAKraiden, kubrick ). Last but not least, I would sell some away - especially when I don't have a decent place to display them (but only as a last resort).

Your kubrick collection is awesome. And I like the MGS1 keychain.

Thanks man! Blue tacks? How would you set that up? I got those from this ebay seller "buffylover29" and he sells a bunch of autographed things. They both are signed by Kiefer Sutherland! I didn't see anything MGS related and signed by him so I figured I'd snatch them up. Got them both for $50 I think.

Thanks bagkok_wolf!
Yeah and I had like 40 more kubricks just arrive from another eBay order...lol. But yeah I love that idea of the level case...I was now thinking getting a couple of those and put them side by side to make it across a shelf. Thanks for the tips!!

xD yeah I'm moving that Batman and Joker once I get Liquid and Raiden PAK later this year xD

Roll just a very tiny amount of blue tack into a ball and stick them under the figures' feet. If you wanna remove them, just use another ball of tack to contact with the one you want to remove to prevent residue. I use blue tack on my McFarlane figures and they're a life saver.

Nice just scored a Chrysalis for £20.
Now just for Cocoon if I can get it under £100.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Good luck. The lowest youll find is cardmania australia on ebay. Just type in play arts cocoon. They have a star on their listings.

Hi guys, for the people who have RAH Raiden (or...RAHiden) does your head's visors look not properly in the center of the face when lifted?

I was watching that, was gonna bid £35 and have it hanging from one of my shelves with fishing wire. But, i decided to drop £232 on a Raiden this afternoon instead

Mine is fine. Probably it's your hinges that holds the visor. Maybe it could use a gentle tap?

Thanks for the reply Plisken
gonna try taht since I'm too afraid to break it again D:

 

[BigBoss9293]

Have you guys pre ordered Raiden and Liquid Snake PAK? Check out eknightmedia.com
Good prices and free shipping, I've ordered from them before, no problems whatsoever.

Tell them Santiago sent you guys

 

[Snake Plissken]

Ordered them months ago

 

[Kiva]

Ive Pre-ordered Liquid. I want Raiden more but i also think he will stick around longer. And as i could only afford one i picked the one that would be more fan favorite.

 

[Solidus]

I've got Liquid and Raiden on pre-order, too. But, I wonder if Play Arts will ever release a MGS 2 Solid Snake.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

I will have them all.
