Mirymate Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 For 25 years, I've wondered why Zartan thinks he's fooling anyone with that disguise. "Is that Zartan?" "No, no, that guy has a beard." "Dude, he's wearing Zartan's clothes right down to the skull belt buckle, and armored shoulder pads." "No it's alright, he's cool. Zartan doesn't have a beard, remember." "Oh, right. My bad. Let him into the main server room then." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nice, my Zartan arrived yesterday but I haven't had a chance to unbox. Did you get the exclusive with the Duke sculpt? One of these days, I need to track down a Hellboy, that thing is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad Sideshow kept so many references to the classic figure, even though they took a few liberties here and there. Crossing fingers for a 1/6th scale Swamp Skiier. Nice, my Zartan arrived yesterday but I haven't had a chance to unbox. Did you get the exclusive with the Duke sculpt? One of these days, I need to track down a Hellboy, that thing is awesome. I did get the ex., and switched out the head with old Duke: Watch out guys, it's a trap!

Shanester Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 K80, your Mego Spiderman has flesh hands bud. Supposed to be red. If you ever need a set, let me know. I have two of them on my desk (Mego Spidermans)but both are T1 bodies. One is actually from my childhood. Well, at least part of him is. I had a habit of making parachutes for my Megos and GI Joes to let them jump into action..anyway, Mego Spidey landed in a tree. 20 years later the tree came down and I found my Mego Spidey (My brother lives in the house I grew up in). His suit had dry rotted and his elastic string hand dried out, but he was in remarkeable shape otherwise. That Doc Holiday is just awesome. Amazing. The HT Hellboys are both rubber body, right?

karamazov80 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. That is awesome that Spidey was still up there! Me and a buddy used to also throw GI Joes off my grandma's patio into the yard below (about a 12 foot drop), trying to get them to hit the power line. I'm not sure why Thanks for the offer, but that's a Spidey I have had for years, and just want to keep him as-is, even if he isn't complete to the original figure Yeah, those Hellboys both have rubber bodies, and supposed the Abe body is pretty fragile. HB supposedly has weak knees, but *knock on wood* mine seems OK thus far. And some more info about Doc--I got the parted set, which was not supposed to have the metal cup. But Rainman randomly inserted 3, and I got one! He's also using a different paint team for this release than he has previously (Iminime/Denny Kim), and it is a HUGE step up in my opinion. Arguably superior to the 'Man himself Notice he has sweat beads on his face due to the TB Edited May 4, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Modded Flint. I am extremely grateful to Scifi67 from SSF for putting all this stuff together for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Bobs looks good next to Han. What's modded on Flint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Looks like the shell bandolier is different, he came with a brown one. Added gloved hands too, nice! Is that a head repaint too? How are you liking Boba now that you have him in hand? Did you do the vest mods, hard to tell with the pose in the picture? EDIT: Sam, pull Boba's knee covers up higher, you want them just above the actual knee joint. The pockets for his tools will be just below the bottom of the knee pad.

karamazov80 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I did mod Boba's vest a bit. You can see it better here. Though the mod is fairly minor, it looks way different than the stock version. I made cuts in the plastic, heated and curved the bottom plate a bit, and stretched the vest more tightly in the back before I reattached the backpack armor piece. As for the kneepads, I can stick them higher, but they'll probably just fall down. SSC made the elastic way too loose on those IMO. As for Flint, the bandolier and holster were dyed green (so now toy/file card accurate instead of the cartoon accurate tan color--actually more brown in the cartoon), and he's got custom leather belts and pouches on one of the belts (one of the buckles was not from the original figure). I gave him a TTM19 (muscle) body, which bulks him up and makes him look much less awkward than the stock Pro does. He's got Chris Taylor's boots (cloth with real laces), and DX Indiana Jones's gloves. Head is not repainted, though I probably should get it repainted at this point.

Shanester Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My Boba had a hole in the vest. I gotta send it back. I'm a little unimpressed with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah, it's hard for SSC figures to really blow me away nowadays considering that Hot Toys in general is a step above them in terms of quality, and I've had awesome, extremely high quality customs like Rainman's Bill that no SSC figure has ever touched from a tailoring POV. Would be nice if he was a bit more poseable. Because of a combination of the outfit and body, he's really restricted in terms of arm movement, sort like like the True Type muscle body is. Plus, his right leg looks kind of bowed because of the weak knee joint. Prometheus body is still so antiquated in comparison to the Hot Toys standard. But I still like the figure a lot. Probably in my top 3 SSC stock figures, up there with Zartan, Darth Vader, and Beachhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I agree. And the paintwork is absolutely stunning. They are as good as anyone else I've seen in that department. There are some other nifty accessories I didn't include in pics--police badges, gun holsters, knife for Somerset, a wrapped hand for Mills (though really too fragile to even use), rubber gloved hands for both characters, and each comes with "the box" Box is cooler than I expected. I thought it would be cardboard, but they are apparently resin blocks. Nicely detailed and weathered, as well. Some guy on SSF got one of the unlicensed Paltrow heads and posed it with the rest of his stuff, which was funny. My wife won't let me keep these in the house because of the "bad vibes" the movie gives off to her, though Edited August 11, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Awesome stuff! I regret missing out on that set. Although I'm probably going to end up selling it, I can't wait to get the iminime Ra's in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMarvel fan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 can we get some pics of them having a fight club? :biggrin: Those sculpts are impressive. I had to do some research to find out what sort of creatures these were. I'm sort of afraid (for my wallet and sanity) to venture any further into these 1:6 customs and collections beyond the brief glimpses I get on here at the 'verse. I see one guy from India made them as a pre-order? is he one guy that customized all those orders? I'm assuming more than a few people ordered these. they look quality.
