Thanks! Already ordered from crabfigure though.

Dam Ada arrived today, haven't opened her yet and kinda hesitant to do so.

All of the damtoys heads seem to slip off easily for me

they all definitely do, but they all seem to have a little friction at least. Adas is the worst, its extremely loose, and when I press down it bounces back up (very weird and I don't even know how to explain it).

Between that, a glue? stain on the front of the dress, and she also has a piece of excess silicone right on her shoulder, ill probably send her back for either a replacement or a refund, we shall see.

Anybody know if crabfigure.com is legit? Want to preorder byart Ada and I can't seem to find it anywhere else.

Giantoy has the full kit up. They are sold out of the kit without the body though. Never heard of crabfigure.

I ordered from Giantoy and received the rolling eyeballs version. Both check mark boxes on the outside of the box were blank for mine. But the head sculpt does split in two to be able to access the rod things to move the eyes.

Just checked and you're right, turns out mine is the rolling eye's version after all - even though it's marked otherwise on the box.
Wonder if it was just a marketing thing and they actually all come with this option? lol
Kind of surprised by how seamless MT made the split in the sculpt. They did a better job than Dam did with their Ada's hair piece.

oh well the spare wesker midnight coat i got for years broke.

was thinking of giving it an angelus coat but was too late.

good news is angelus 4 coat actually works and formed a pretty solid flexible layer on top. i only applied 2 coats, so with 3 the layer would be solid as it came off in big pieces. decided to pell it off as i found out some spots had the pattern flaked off while i was applying it.

after soaking it in water the painted areas did look delaminated whitish and they were much harder to remove than the uncoated areas which just powdered off.

the carbon fiber patter is gone sadly.

Hello everyone! First time posting on this thread. Been a fan of RE for a long time and was lamenting the lack of figures. Recently jumped back into 1/6 because of Gametoys and was recently introduced to 1/12 figures.

I didn't pre-order Patriot Studio's Leon 'Virus Buster' Kennedy, and actually bought him after he was released (so no pre-order bonus accessories) and..... i actually really love the figure! I know it's an unpopular opinion given that the body proportions/face/outfit are inaccurate, but for what it's worth, he's really not bad! Just sharing some photos (pardon the bad shots). Might end up getting the licker and police zombies from this line




Price wise i got him for about US$75 shipped, which is not too bad considering a Marvel Legends figure cost about US$30-38 for me here (SEA region). So this is like a souped-up Marvel Legends haha

Also, i very stupidly pre-ordered and paid off my swtoys Ada (sigh). I'll share more photos when it comes, not looking forward to it. Should have gone with MTtoys but I was new to the 1/6 scene and didnt want to hunt down a body

Finally got to modding Claire after putting it off for so long, and to my surprise she is PERFECT 1/6 scale at 11 inches flat, my OCD is in heaven.

It took almost no modding either, I used the stock Claire body and swapped the legs from the HT Armorer figure, with some heat they pop right on. Only issue is the ankles need blue tac, but not a big deal in the slightest.

i prefer felt tapes than blutac.

 

[niekgrijz]

I used to use blutac for everything but after a while it gets super runny and sticky and disgusting. And it wont work anymore.

I now use electrical tape, I just wrap it around the joint to make it thicker. Or moulding plastic depending on what I need to use it for.

He looks a lot better here than any other pictures I’ve seen.

unless you use high quality electrical tapes the adhesive will become sticky icky after some time and the tapes come off. not an issue to tighten joints but i prefer a cleaner approach and felt tapes are cleaner. felt also provides more friction than vinyl tapes.

also noticed the green one will always turn gooi, while the black and white would just harden and loses stickiness. same brand.

Ive thought about getting Shrink tubing, but havent taken the time to yet.

Does anybody have experience with rolling up shirt sleeves on a 12 inch figure? The last time I've tried it it didn't work, required me to manually cut the sleeves and glue them on the upper arm and it frankly didn't look all that good. There another method to do this?

That sounds like a bit of a drastic way to do that lol.

Just roll up the sleeve. Get a needle and a thread. Make a small stitch so it stays in place. If the fabric looks too thick to be realistic you cut part of the sleeve off to achieve the desired look. If it’s still not looking natural you can try adding a little fabric glue on the inner layer of the folds and then adding a stitch or two to keep it from unfolding or shifting.

i know hot toys put a piece of double sided tape behind the collar of midnight weskers collar.

Hopefully one of those 3rd party companies makes that reimagined version of Ada’s classic red dress so I can breakdown the Ada on the right. Homage to Ada’s re4 looks.
