1/6 MMS216 - Man of Steel: General Zod Collectible Figure

[jediclint]

Will be getting the black under suit and sculpt a custom symbol for it.

Bri

What are your plans for the custom Zod symbol? I am working on a Zod without armor, but haven't figured out a budget friendly way to create that part yet.

Also, has anyone here removed Zod's armor? Does it involve any destruction or can the armor be removed without damage?

If I were you id wait out the summer at least before going through all the trouble. Personally I have a feeling Zod unarmored is gunna be a summer ex. Just my two cents though

Not yet. I need to buy a decent shop vac for work, as the dust created dremelling the body out of the armour is unreal.
I'll get on it.

I hear ya. Any pics you could post of your WIP?

 

[jedijim3002]

I just picked up another MOS figure and in trying to decide what to do with it. Whether I should make the black suit Kal or the suit on display from the scout ship. Decisions decisions.

The scout ship set-up would look sick, especially with this head sculpt.

That is good and timely advice! Thank you! I suppose if I cut my losses now, I've only got $30 invested in an extra pair of Jor-El boots at this point. And those could be fun regardless. I'd still really like to know if Zod's armor can be removed undamaged.

Just the original images i took of the Faora head on the Baroness body.
Like i said, when i started dremelling the resin that the statue is made from, it is an incredibly fine dust that is created. As my dremel is in my office at work, i don't want to risk a fine coating of that on everything, lol. So i am going to have to invest in a powerful vacuum system for the office before i proceed.

Looks awesome, Barry!

How much did you get the clothing set for Black Widow there? I saw one set in stock at a store I frequent. Is that pink tank top dye-able?

 

[bangkok_wolf]

Cant wait to get mine, but if HT announce a Ra's Al Ghul in suit I'll have to sacrifice it for that.

On side note people here are getting theirs, and a considerable no. of them are just selling them off (lower then the PO price).
I've never really understood the 1/6figure market here.

YES it can be done...

Less than $20 shipped from Kit Chen(Iyiyyy on Ebay). https://www.ebay.com/itm/ZY-Toys-1-...6898?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1e76397902
Not sure if you can dye the top. Possibly.
I was trying to replicate Widow's look when she greets Cap on the Helicarrier.
I am in the process of making her a thigh holster and black belt.

Just to give a heads up I will have an unopened one for sale as soon as it comes in from sideshow as I bought mine early from Hong Kong. I will match the lowest price on eBay or if still available on sideshow will match their price. Not trying to make much if any on it. Just a heads up for anyone on the fence ab gettin this guy!

That will be great news for a waiting fan i bet.
Better than those rogues at BlackOpsToys, who currently have The Wolverine "for sale" at $300. And it's still in stock at SS for $220, lol.

I don't believe they are dealers which mean they pay full price from SS. But I'm speculating.

I know theyre dealers with a lot of the 1/6 companies, I cant see why they would pay retail at SS and try to sell it for more...

I can totally understand the usual price hikes once an item is no longer in stock. I was quite surprised to see the high price while the figure has bombed and is still in stock everywhere, lol.
But even for parts, Black Ops tends to be about a third higher than other companies.

They usually offer 20-30% off coupons which can soften the blow on loose parts. I've used them occasionally but never for a boxed figure.

Is this guy shipping from sideshow yet ?
