VTS TOYS 1/6 WASTELAND RANGER - Furiosa

[Wor-Gar]

She looks better in hand than in pictures. I don't hate her like I thought I would, but she'd benefit from a face repaint and a bigger body for sure.

Nice pictures.

I missed my opportunity at a relatively cheap Furiosa today. Maybe next time.

One sold for about $140 shipped, today on ebay. It ended around 1:30 pm on the east coast and I forgot to put a bid in.

Yep. I didn't forget. Just didn't bid enough. There's another but its already too high for me.

I can wait. Prices will come down.

Got the s17b today. Undressed her and popped the head on (with some light dremel action), put a couple of foot peg extenders in there and she looks a bit more meaty now. The skintone is all wrong though might have to try that pastel powder technique to get her a bit more in matching with the head colour.
Arm won’t be too chunky so it’ll fit quite nicely into the mechanical arm. Gotta strap down them breasticles though and get those trousers over the knees but hopefully it works.

Will the S17B arm work for the mechanical arm, or will it need to be cut down?

Cut down I reckon. Pretty thick frame though so either need good cutters or a dremel saw.

When children mutilate their dollies, it's a sign of bad things to come. But when adults do it...we're just customizing haha

See gogul1, looks great I think.

Body swaps are not uncommon even with HT... so maybe its just par for the course... although this stock body is likely the biggest joke yet as far as mismatched heights within a line. HT Pirates used to hold that title long ago.

What foot peg extenders work with Phicen figs ?

 

[gogul1]

Dammit managed to put it all back together but when I did the **** wraps came undone so her bust is bigger than I wanted it to be. Can’t be bothered to try and undo it all again. Took the extended foot pegs out due to it making her legs look way too long.
Trousers were a massive pain to get on even with talc as the thighs are a tad too thick.
Rest was fairly easy except for a niggling strap at the back I had to glue to stop it coming undone again. Sadly the endoskeleton in the Phicen isn’t magnetic so it either needs gluing or you can stuff the forearm in and hope it grips (which is what I did).
Still pretty happy with the outcome. At least she has some shelf presence now. Or at lewst now you can see her without the use of a magnifying glass.
Added extra weathering too, might do a bit more tomorrow. Don’t know if my phone picked it up though.

Nice work on your Furiosa gogul1.
I think she fits in pretty well now.

 

[davejames]

Yeah that's some really nice work there! So is that about as high as you can pull that black girdle or whatever it is, given it was tailored for a much shorter body? I know it's supposed to be pulled up to her bust, but looks like that may not be possible.

 

[davejames]

The other detail I'm thinking this figure really needs is that blue scarf or bandanna she wears in the last act. It was such a cool look and I'm hoping to to include it with mine.

No it can probably be moved up a bit more. It’s laced up so you can undo it and redo it up a bit higher, theres still more tucked in at the waist. It just dropped a bit on mine when the **** straps came undone.

Im sorry. but the modern life sculpt at $300+ IS NOT an option. With all the custom work that is needed, your talking about spending $500+

I don't think anyone is considering that as an option.

Pretty sure a KO sculpt will be coming.

Just in case you wanted to see the difference between the original next to the new body.

I think the same. looks like a handy person could use some of these parts to make a larger version
