Replaced the pants with Sideshow Raiders pants and put the jacket on Sideshow TOD. Waiting on the holster and one day weather the jacket. View attachment 578460View attachment 578461

That works well.

Thank you!! I really appreciate it!! I’ll look into it more for sure! Has anyone tried repairing broken off pegs? Examples being ones for the hands. If so, what kind of super glue do you guys use? Loctite is decent and gorilla glue is so So IMHO. I would love to hear the community’s thoughts on this?? I was thinking of using JB Weld to hopefully have a more permanent/ stronger and more durable fix.

I’m no expert but I would have thought, that because of the size it would be challenging to be able to glue a wrist peg back together. Wouldn’t it be easier to just buy a replacement one?

So, what’s the consensus on the best body to switch to? I tried a couple of muscle bodies I had laying around (a TTM 19 clone and a Art Figure Boy Black) but they are way too muscular, shoulders too large and biceps too big.

Got your figure yet?..

Unfortunately no. No word on when/if it will ship.

Sorry to keep bothering you on this

There are fake accounts within our facebook group tried to attack us while our extra "raider jones" figure sold out in a minute few weeks back

I suspect it's them - I got no proof, just suspect

I understand competition, but using fake account to engage advertising or attack competitors? I can only think about them as I heard too much stories lately, disgusting dirty tactics

It has been a month since we shipped our batch, why it takes so long for them to ship?

It's not a bother at all, Kit.

I'm emailing them to see if they can provide an update. They were supposed to ship out mid May and we are over a week past that.

You’re better off just buying a new wrist peg. If the part that broke is the nub that goes inside the hand, no glue will be strong enough to withstand the constant force of pulling the hands on and off especially if the hands are a harder/stiffer plastic

I’ll check it out. My main complaint against the Worldbox AT011 is that the neck isn’t sculpted enough, it kind of sticks out to me…

 

[DeltaForceChung]

There are also fake/shill accounts within Collector Freaks, but EH . . . what else is new?

It's a big crap sandwich and everyone is taking a bit, being exposed to its awful stench, and seeing the menu and the chefs behind it is definitely not a five-star establishment regardless of the fake reviews.

OH, WELL . . .

Retrieved my figure from the workplace, here are a few shots, just out of the box unfutzed pictures:

So you got one of the horribly wonky fedoras dantes2501... I posted a video on the FB 1/6 Indiana Jones page... I took my PT head sculpts and put held this in simmering (not boiling) water on the stove with tongs..

one - if you do this you can separate the fedora from the head eventually.. but more importantly you can reshape the fedora brim as well... take your time.. but you can get it right.. Unfortunately you obviously got one of those wonky ones that make it look like he's been standing in the rain... but you can fix it.

Got mine in from TNS finally! I’m the kind of person that just wants an out of the box figure so it all looks good to me. If anything I think the legs on the body look a little long. Have to futz it a bit to get it where I want it but I’m happy!

Thanks for the tip, I reckon a hair dryer would work too. But I have to say that I like the movement, I’ll keep it this way for a while.

Can not believe how good the final product came out! Congrats to all that got him. Hopefully they will do another run now that they see how popular it is. Also the 2nd market prices people are paying

Popped the hat off with a bit of hot water. Put the map room stuff on him from the DX05

It looks great! Not my preferred look, but great never the less!

Finally got my Indy. Love the sculpt and paint apps. Hate that body though. It has got to go.
