Re: ShortRound's FORTUNE & GLORY (BATMAN, MORPHEUS)

Hey Hector. Not sure which of their products you got but I installed their 4 strip, cool white kit. Here's my review with some comparison shots:

Curious to see how they work out for you bro. Your collection continues to be one of the nicest here - pure top shelf. :clap

Oh! I'm loving the new avatar and sig Chris. :lol
That's a huge help my friend. Thanks for posting. I can see the difference is minor but for some reason I'm getting a little yellow light in your photos. I think it's the background light. A little hard to tell. Still a big help. Looks like the transformer is gonna be a bit tricky to hide. I had a feeling when I was reading the specs. 3.5" of wire? That's not a lot. We'll see I guess. :)

And thanks for the compliments man. Really appreciate it. :duff

Thanks man! That's great to hear. Out of the box it isn't that great though. I recommend all the mod I did. Or at least the gauntlets. :exactly:

Yeah I've been on the hunt for those gauntlets. It's hard to find him parted out or at a decent price. If I find one cheap enough I'll switch the FNO head from HT with the Takara figure. The gauntlets do make a HUGE difference for sure.

Thanks bud - really excited for more Burgundy!

Yeah, my basement lights reflect yellow for sure, which is probably what you see. Either way - I'm sure you can work out something. I'm hoping for another detolf soon and at that point, may just scrap what I have and re-do all three with a more custom solution....we'll see. Take it easy man.
 
Re: ShortRound's FORTUNE & GLORY (BATMAN, MORPHEUS)

If I look at the bottom two shelves and block the top two, they look almost identical in terms of color. Definitely seeing a lot more yellow on the top two shelves. So I'm really excited to get these. Out for delivery today as a matter of fact. :)
 
Re: Shorty's Stuff


Here's a little collection update. Still working on a few things. Gotta clear some shelves for upcoming releases. But shaping up nicely I think. :)

I just want to say that you and MarfMaster have my favorite collections on here.It really helps that anytime I have the itch to just buy a new figure,I look at your collections and say less is more and presentation is key.
 
Re: ShortRound's FORTUNE & GLORY (BATMAN, MORPHEUS)

I keep forgetting to ask you this, but how did you get your SS Vader gloves on the KP body? I think I remember reading in one of the Vader threads there's two different ways to do it. Right now they're just kind of shoved on there without actually being connected to the arms.
 
Re: ShortRound's FORTUNE & GLORY (BATMAN, MORPHEUS)

I subscribed to this just to keep looking at this collection! Where did you get your TWD Rixk? He looks amazing! I need to get a detolf really bad. I have no where to start putting my figures.
 
Re: ShortRound's FORTUNE & GLORY (BATMAN, MORPHEUS)

Just watched there will be blood
DDL rocks in the movie, but i was expecting a lil more of the film ( as long as won the oscar), but i like it even tough.
Have a nice weekend bro :)

You have to remove the SS pegs inside the gloves first. Then the KP pegs fit right in without any modding. :)

Wow! Thank you epicfsyn! I love reading comments like that. Glad you like my collection. :)
I definitely recommend the detolfs. They're just such a nice and affordable display case.

Glad you liked it Ricardo! It's definitely not for everyone. Thank you again and have a great weekend as well. :) ;)

Thank you so much Killjoy! That means a lot! That definitely is the goal for my collection. As much I want to buy EVERYTHING I see, I have to remember to keep it simple and buy what REALLY matters to me. I really appreciate the comment man. I know my buddy Marf does too. :)

Re: ShortRound's FORTUNE & GLORY (BATMAN, MORPHEUS)

Any plans for a Draper Shorty to complete your AMC shelf with Walter and Rick?
