Trick or Treat Studios Gremlins 2 props

[Dino_Ranger_White]

I got all five of them in trade for a few older displayed Hot Toys figures and could not be happier with them (even Gizmo)!
Daffy is hands-down the BEST of the BATCH... Pun Intended.

Have wanted these guys at 1/1 scale forever and TOTS delivered!!

Got mine in today really pleased with quality few minor issues but for the price can't complain.

Adding eyelashes to them add a bit more life.
Daffy is by far my favourite of the lot!

Thank you for the tip !

Looks awesome. Might be down for a Daffy and Mohawk.

Looks pretty good!

How hard were those eyelashes to apply to them and what size are they?

Pretty simple the eye lash glue refused to stick so my partner tried nail glue on hers with a UV cure light which did the trick nicely. So I did the same steady hand, tweezers and a cotton bud trimmed down to apply the glue.

I'd recommend covering the eyeball with some tac while doing it too prevent damage. As for the size they were just cheap natural eye lashes so not sure on that.

As for other glues I'm not sure as it's not something I'm overly experienced in.

Sadly George is being sent back for a replacement as his QC is pretty bad. Mowhawk has black on his teeth which I could probably repaint.

Is this or the Medicom Gizmo better?

 

[Godfather1408]

Started dry brushing with oil paint to bring these to life a bit more as they look toy like.

Definitely Medicom but then there's a huge price difference. I honestly don't think Medicom is even that great tbh owned it a while back.

Looks great man. What did you use to glue the eyelashes on? I’m still awaiting this set minus gizmo but I’m also set on adding some paint to make them pop a bit and dry brushing was exactly what I had in mind given limited skills. Was there ant particular reason you used oils as opposed to acrylic or were you winging it like I will definitely be doing lol.

Thanks bud, bit of a weird one but my partner recommended nail glue with a UV light to cure it and they stuck on extremely well, extremely fiddly Todo would recommend covering the eye with something.

Regarding the paint I tried a watered down acrylic and it did even touch the surface due to the plastic, then tried a heavy coat still wouldn't adhere! So tried a dab of oil paint on the back of the ear and brushed it heavily, seemed to work however it does just rubs off so will probably need a sealer.

Thanks for that and I also just saw you had replied regarding the eye lashes above and I somehow missed that so sorry for asking again lol. The eye balls themselves on these are just plastic right?

Interesting that the acrylic wouldn’t stick. I wonder how a pro would go about it. I’m tempted to send the four I’m getting off to someone who knows what they’re doing to get them spruced up properly lol.
