The 3A Thread

It might be a mistake and they are showing the 1/6 version of Blanc Hunter in the photo, but there may also be a 1/12 as hasn't been shown yet.

The big thing is those boots. If they weren't laced up, I would have an easier time believing 1/12, but those look too damn good to be other than 1/6...

 

[dedguy]

I rather like the tesseract looking thing on his helmet.

 

[RagingBull]

Yeah that Blanc must definitely be 1/6 looking at the picture. I hope we do get a 1/12 version of it soon though.
I really wanted the original Zombkin but if I can get the new version in 1/12 I'll get it but if it's a 1/6, 1/12 2pack again I'll have to skip.

 

[gunm]

I would totally get a Charkin 2 pack.

I got my first 1/12 zomb the other day, and my daughter was incredibly amused--she loved it! I think I'm going to have to continue with 1/12 whether I like it or not...

Don't think Charkin will be a twin pack.
That also means it has to be cheaper than the OG Kin.
But the Ltd, pre-made small print worries me a little given the unfamiliarity to the new G3A store. If it goes to the crunch like those of secret drop, I think I'm done for...

Meanwhile I have a question that don't think will receive any response from the official forum.
Which is the worst looking 3A figure for you thus far?
For me, it has to be SXCLB Ankou Ex. I had a lot of anticipation for it's actual product pict (since we bought it based on a sketch) and when it is finally out, I fell off my chair.

Part of me is annoyed that they reused the Zombkin since I think it should have stayed 100% unique as a seasonal release, but then part of me is happy because I missed out on the Zombkin and would love to get this guy. I greatly prefer the orange head though, but this will work.

Now if only they would do a new hallowed version of the Lolli figure.

Pretty weak using the same sculpt. So much for being a different zombkin each year.

I love the SXCLB set but also totally get why people who PO'd it would be… well PO'd. It was very clearly stated to have a black suit during the PO. I like the white and pink way more than black but that doesn't change the fact that it was a huge change from what it was said to be.

For me the worst looking are the original dePlumes. I know I'm pretty lonely in that belief (although I personally think scarcity more than actual visual appeal is why most people want them).

They're just really crude which makes a lot of sense given they where the first ThreeA figure but I still think they're pretty not great looking. I'm not even that big a fan of the NOM Commanders. The new dePlumes though are a fantastic update that really makes the design work.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I hope he is open to all!

I like this color way more than regular Zombkin....sounds like he will be ready to ship upon sale day as well...

I still prefer the orange zombkin but this is pretty cool

 

[gunm]

I don't like the bambaboss, lol.

$140?? Too much. I have to pass, even with free shirt, haha.

Blanc hunter is 1/6 confirmed.

 

[Monger]

Worst looking? That's easy. It is the Supreme Nom or whatever the female one is called. For how cool the Noms looked I had high hopes, but to be blunt what we got is one of the most ugly things I have ever seen. The design is just gross looking. It's the kind of thing I wouldn't even want to look at. It's also a tad bit disturbing looking. I hope they never bother with any variants of it.

 

[Monger]

On a side note does anyone know of possible fixes for the nipples on the new female bodies? Honestly I'll probably just sell Red Sham when I get her unless there is a way to remove or hide the nipples. To me it ruins just about every ThreeA female figure right now because it looks so tacky. It doesn't fit the character at all either. It just looks silly.

EDIT: I was thinking honestly of just cutting them off, but I am afraid of it leaving some kind of hole imprint on the suit, which would arguably be even more awkward.

 

[Darth Waller]

I agree. I preferred the original female body much more than the current boobfest.

They are just pieces of rubber, you could clip them down with some hobby tools. If the clothes are like the other ones Ive seen, it shouldnt leave an imprint.

 

[rhboyd]

yup... did that on Little Shadow... no imprint... no problem... lots of rubber there so no "damage" to the basic silhouette.

 

[Wanderer]

What's up with nips? It's all part of the design aesthetic!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I've got my Shadow 2 wearing F-Lefgions jacket to cover up those low hanging pokies of hers

 

[gunm]

Nips is all good with me. If you've seen AW's art, you know he's not shy about showing the goods...

 

[Darth Waller]

Even the old body would've been fine with the addition of nips, but I just don't care for the new design.

 

[dedguy]

I wish the small breasted body used on the first Shadow release still existed. I really like the torso on that.

OUCH!

Honestly, I agree with you on Red Sham's nipples. They look pretty obvious and I'm not sure is it because of the matte red suit aggravated the effect.
Probably you could apply a tape or sorts over the nipple to render the shape smoother and the nipple less prominent. I'll be doing something about mine too when it arrives. Too embarrassed to pose it in my display when I have guest in the hose - who look at such as pornographic / kinky...

I hear what you said about the Supreme NOMs, I too feel that it is a wasted opportunity. So far the important characters has been a wasted opportunity for 3A / Ash. I'm left to fathom the design (or the lacked of for Rothchild). Supreme NOM kinda grow on me a little after having it on hand and I've removed the leg canister (and its harness) the very 1st action I made when I release her from the clamshell. And added a helmet. Here's how mine look now :
