SSC Flint

[onethousandmasks]

Is his belt buckle yellow?

 

[lerath666]

... not sure if want?

some shots, he looks excellent, others.... not so much.

My only gripe is I don't care for the head-sculpt much sans the Beret.. but then He's not meant to have it off, so... I donno.

I'll keep him regardless. Got the EX coming via flex-pay.

Worst case scenario, i'll find him a new Head-sculpt.

That hairline paint looks terrible. Lucky he has a beret to cover it up . .. .

The rest looks great.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Thank you muchly Mr Cruel! Actually, Sideshow should thank you, they get to keep my money! Looks much better in those shots. Last time I'll bother you, but did they in fact change the stand?

I didn't even think to check that. Yes, crotch stand with flint.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Is his belt buckle yellow?

Gold...absolutely.

 

[The Craw]

meh. the head paint looks like crap. i hate how they paint individual strands of hair for the hairline and especially the eyebrows. it looks like millipedes are running across his brow.

I see that the week HT chose to reveal Barney and the original T800 wasn't exactly the best time for SSC to unleash Flint's production paint on us.

You must be new to collecting military figures. Most of the fun is getting them put together.

I've posted enough on the various Joe threads and taken my share of shots from you for you to know I'm not new to collecting the Joe line (and by extension, military figures). I may not have as much experience in the 1/6 arena as most of you guys (having transitioned from polystone stuff), but am by now means new at all.

And you're right, putting them together is most of the fun...except the frustration of things not fitting right as Darth Cruel alluded to.

 

[ProgMatinee]

weird paint. guess they thought they needed to be consistent in weirdness with Duke.

 

[Darth Cruel]

One more shot from work. Then I'll try to get s few better shots. I think I futzed him to where I want him, but I don't like the quality of the photos I took.

Edit - As I mentioned before, the buckle has a nice gold color to it. These shots were taken in flourescent lighting...and dull flourescent lighting at that.

Edit2 - I will likely lose the grenade pouches and grenades...just don't like them on Flint.

 

[The Craw]

so is the inside of the beret molded to fit on his head a certain way or can it be moved to other positions? i kinda like this photo from sideshow where the beret is sitting down on the forehead more.

He's getting there a little bit at a time. (Edit - The lighting is definitely better in this shot)

Looks really good here. I look forward to getting this guy.

Now that Nam has me thinking about it, the "soft" sculpt might actually be better than the detailed head, making him look a bit more like the cartoon version. Thanks for listening, Sideshow!

 

[Darth Cruel]

Up and down like that is possible. But the shape will preclude twisting or tilting it to the side.

You missed the "" didn't you? Anyway, I wouldn't look at loading the shells into the straps as frustrating. You wanna talk frustrating. Weaving 1:6 scale MOLLE is ____ing frustrating!

SEE GUYS! He accepts responsibility. So if there's any aspect of this figure you hate, blame Kara.

Really growing wearing of subpar paint apps on Sideshow heads. Get the ____ with it, guys.

Two figures in as many weeks.

 

[King Darkness]

Looks on par with Duke. Not great, not horrible. Just typical Sideshow, producing and excellent figure with subpar paints, nothing surprising about that.

Sideshow simply refuses to move forward in that department. Guess they are happy being mediocre

Cant wait to get him in hand though

I was going to get the head MANDO used for his Flint bash, but its going for 75.00 on Ebay.

 

[thenammagazine]

I made a little trip during a long lunch.

The head portrait...

"I'm not only the spokesperson for Ghetto Hair Club for Hastings Shoppers, I'm also a client!"

 

[King Darkness]

Still think its a good sculpt, just the typical shat paint apps by Sideshow.
