The 3A Thread

Is Noisy Boy Official?

 

[Mastter]

Right you are.

Speaking of Ambush I'm happy to see that Noisy Boy is up next. One of the two bots I really wanted to see. The other being Metro. If they make Metro I'd probably get him as well as Noisy and Metro would make nice companions. Two ends of the spectrum of bot designs in that movie. One all glossy and flashy to an extreme and the other as ramshackle and junkyard as you get.

Yeah, Noisy is also one of my favorites, I´m happy that 3A make it official!

Is Noisy Boy Official?

How did i miss that

Where? When?

 

[DpM]

I put cut up pieces of old t-shirts and socks into the bags on my guys and they bulk it up great and the weight and feel is appropriate.

Cheers Scriggly ill try it out.

 

[blue devil]

That's a good idea. I'm going to try that since I'll be getting a t-shirt anyway. I can keep it all 3a. lol

 

[Monger]

Leave it to 3A to make a new site so faulty they had to use the old one for the sale.

 

[gunm]

Bambaland is the new gallery!

I got 1 KDA, but no time to f5 for bothead.

Hope I can get a December Charkin tomorrow!

Its hard to shop online when you are on vacay!

And yes Nova, Noisy Boy is the next 3A Real Steel! I want that one!

 

[dedguy]

Really looking forward to Noisy Boy. Will be interesting to see how they do the light up displays.

I have to say, while I'm happy to have Sham I continue to be disappointed with basically all female bodies except for the Takara CG bodies. Why is it so hard to make a female body that poses worth a damn? Mine also has the stitching problems around the hands that I'll need to take pics of to sent to 3A QC. It looks almost like they where hemmed and then the stitching was pulled as there's very uniform holes along the hem.

Still even with the limited poses and the quality issues she does look good.

Yea, something really needs to be done with these bodies and their lack of posability. If all the male bodies can be based on the classic HT True Type, why can't they make a 3A female True Type version?

Damn that looks tasty.

The female HT bodies, at least the ones that where sold carded, aren't much better. In fact they have less range of motion in the knees than the newer 3A bodies.

 

[Monger]

I blame the fact that they feel some need to make the female bodies have completely different proportions than the male ones. I understand this might be how it looks with Ashley Wood's art, but it only hinders these figures as a whole. The male figures are able to have normal human proportions and properly reflect his art. There's no reason why the female ones couldn't too. The legs should be shorter, the nipples should be removed, and proportions should generally be fixed up. Then maybe they would articulate better.

 

[dedguy]

I don't think any of that has anything to do with articulation, aesthetics sure, but like I said HT's bodies which are pretty realistically proportioned have similar issues.

 

[DpM]

Couple of war zomb pics.

 

[Monger]

Hopefully I snag one of those black pumpkins. I might try to just trade it with the normal colored one since I like those a lot more though I prefer the shirt and pants on the black one. Hmm...

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Anyone pick up an extra Charkin? LMK, I totally screwed the pooch on this one.

 

[Monger]

I was one of the many who got the preorder Charkin thinking it was a pre made one. I already sent an email requested a refund so everything should be cool. It's a huge shame though.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Well that sucks, I would've bought it from you.
