The 3A Thread

[dedguy]

It's popart not a toy. More in line with something you'd find decorating a fancy house in the 1960s or 70s than a nerd hummel.

I was interested in Supreme NOM at first, but the figure seemed to have limited range of motion and it turned out i was mostly right...

My main 1/6 license/company this year has been 3A (specifically the Action Kartel and WWR lines). I am completely hooked - I love the aesthetic of Ashley Wood's world.

I have picked up a few random World War Robot figures and decided to customize a Jungler Grunt to give him a more lightweight profile. I appreciate all comments/questions/critiques!

My squad was annihilated by a Droppie ambush. The Dropcloths seemed to come out of nowhere. Luckily, our Sergeant was able to let loose with some grenades as the Droppies took him out. I ran away in the ensuing chaos. Now I am alone, behind enemy lines and am running low on ammo. Just another day for a Grunt. I roamed through the jungle until I found a concrete path. I presume the enemy forces use it for transporting supplies. Hopefully I can follow it to get closer to the front lines...I was surprised to not run into any enemy patrols on this path. I guess our bombardments were more effective than we thought.

I entered into an abandoned town. Maybe this was a town we had captured and cleansed before the generals ordered us to "restructure our lines." I guess the enemy thinks we still hold the town. That would explain why there I haven't seen them on this path... It seems as though they have the same quality Intel as us.

Uh oh... I hear the telltale grinding of poorly lubricated gears. Dropcloth Patrol coming from behind. I hope they didn't see me.

There they are. I hope these Droppies have the same level of maintenance as the others we've seen. If so, their optical and auditory sensors should be dirty enough that they won't pick me up.

It looks like refurbished Dropcloths from various other units. At least they're not pristine. However, even refurbed Droppies will be more than enough to make me meatpulp if they spot me.

I have to move to stay out of their eye line. I stumble on some loose rocks. Uh oh... the Refurbed JEA Droppie heard something. He looks down. I gotta stay out of sight. Looks like I'll be joining my squad soon...

Sounds like Red is having none of it. He just yelled at JEA to keep moving. It's probably because Red already climbed up to the next level and didn't feel like climbing back down. Droppies can be a fickle bunch...

Well, I'm back in the woods again. I'm not sure if I'm closer to the front lines or further behind enemy lines. I wish they would give us more training. Despite what they say, we're more than just bullet magnets. I hope.

Thanks for looking!

 

[KORNdog]

He looks cool, but you gotta weather up those new parts cos they're way too clean for a ThreeA figure.

 

[gunm]

Fun! I am also totally hooked on 3A. Unless they start jacking up prices release-over-release Hot Toys-style, I'm planning to be in it for next year...totally want 3AA membership.

It took me some time to get used to the art style and to let go of my need for super realism, but now I appreciate the play value. My favorite line right now is AK. I still haven't quite gotten into the WWR robot stuff. I think I'll always favor 1/6 humanoids, but it is nice to mix it up once in a while.

I like what they did with the Rothchild two pack--one human and one robot. Unfortunately, I missed that one, lol.

 

[RagingBull]

I love the robots, I haven't got a favourite but I try & buy 2 of each release. Right now I have wwrp
3 Martins
2 Brambles
2 Berties
2 Armstrongs
2 Dropcloths
3 Popbots
& 2 WWR Brambles
Annoyingly I missed out on the wwrp Caesar drop because I didn't know back then I could buy from Bamba without 3AA Membership. I might try & buy a couple on ebay but not for the prices there going for right now. I was never planning on buying any human figures but I got some 1/12 Plumes in a trade & have been hooked since. Now I've got 8 figures in that scale on PO & now I'm desperately waiting for Bamba to drop some 1/12 Zombs

 

[gunm]

Yeah, sounds like we both missed out on the last round of 1/12 zombs. But these are kind of "staple" sales for 3A, so I'm confident we'll see more eventually. I picked up the AP JC set, so I do need some zombs for him to battle, lol.

I think the 1/6 Mumbs will be the next AK monster release, but this week is apparently about Bambaboss and that new "club" AW wants to start up. Unfortunately, I'm not into Bambaboss at all, although I will be on the lookout for secret drops with this one...

 

[RagingBull]

@Gunm
Ha yeah I got the JC pack + Tracky. So 5 JC's & no Zombs lol.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I'm looking to build a wwrp Mercenary bot squad

I've got Gravedigger Caesar coming and want and Iron Panda Bramble, Dirty Deeds Bertie, Shadow Armstrong and Badbot

 

[RagingBull]

Dirty Deeds Bertie is one I'd love to have. There was one on ebay for £150 a week or so ago but to expensive for me anyway. I can't help but think what I can get for that on the next 1/12 Bamba drop.

 

[RagingBull]

I've been trying to get in touch with 3A about swapping my 4 JC's for the 4 pack with tommy, I ordered early during the glitch. I sent them a few emails asking to change it like they said they would on there Bama production page but now I've just got an email asking for more money for shipping. So annoying, I hope they change it because I don't want to pay 30 odd pounds extra & end up with a figure less. I just sent them a reply to there email, I'm hoping they'll reply this time around.

 

[Joekavalier]

It may be worth it if your singles end up being carded and my 4 pack JCs are not. Love the packaging of those action portables and that was one of the reasons I bit on the 4 pack. Then I found out that they are probably not individually carded and my heart sank. Oops. Another rookie mistake.

 

[NataN]

where's the best/cheapest place for a canadian in Toronto to get a threea toys? and when does the sea monkey come out?

 

[rhboyd]

the silver snail carries them, magic pony too...

The single JC's are going to be boxed. Which would be better for me as I would only rip them straight off there blister card & display them. I still want the JC set with Tommy

I don't think that is how it is originally conceived. I'd suggest send them another email.
What I think is how it should be is that they simply cancel all you singles order and add a 4+1 pack in their place.
The only tricky part is if you have made all your 4 purchase individually ie you have 4 different PO number. They will have to cancel 3 of them and keep 1 for the 4+1. Some hassle for their finance dept for P&L calculation.
But if you have made all 4 singles purchase with a single PO number, should be quite straight forward.

AP zombs still available for a good price.

Just got an email from them this morning & there changing it for me so I'm really happy about that.
Now as well as Zombs, I'm hoping for some more 1/12 Tommys. Some females in 1/12 would be amazing to because I'd love to have a 1/12 Shadow2 or Penumbra.

Too bad you don't ship overseas.
