Heinous Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I will say to anyone intending to paint theirs, I put a base coat on them and found when I was applying the real colors, it was taking off the base coat, like the plastic was coated in something that didn't want to keep the paint on. So I had to be more delicate with the painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieWargo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 yeah, I started painting one of the sets I have last night. I had to scrub them and wipe them down with apple vinegar to get the primer to adhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Looks like the SHIELD stand from the Marvel Select Winter Soldier figures. DST could probably make a decent business selling stands and display bases for action figures of various scales.

MisterPL Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yup. Whenever I see a really good price on a Diamond Select figure, I check the base to see if it's something I can use for Minimates or other figures. I have little use for 7" scale figures although the Netflix Daredevil was pretty irresistible. I'm still looking for an MCU Doctor Strange for that Sanctum Sanctorum background.

They’re intended for display with my Marvel Legends, but I’m sure I’ll set up some Minimates around them at some point just for giggles. Those things are massive.

MisterPL Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Offering an army-builder was a smart move. I'm interested in finding out what extras will be unlocked. I'm guessing a battle-damaged noggin will be among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to suggest you try & pick up a Marvel Legends Sentinel 'head' accessory but I checked out eBay I can see that that avenue has closed .

Mostly interested in knowing about the vehicles. too small. they're 28mm. You might be able to find some miniatures or model kits at 54mm or 1/35 scale. Most people prefer to us 1/24 or 1/32 scale as those fit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly interested in knowing about the vehicles. Most of it doesn't because as Augie mentioned, it's too small. However, I've found that some incidental stuff scales pretty alright - crates, oil drums, the occasional computer console - so don't totally write the 40k stuff off. I just bought some Reaper Miniatures spell effects and they look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'secret' is out damn. i did google it and found some 3d files of some people have made. plus, i think its going to be a long neck that goes into the head and the lights will most likely be part of the neck. we'll see. probably best if i just try to find a 3d file i like. way cheaper than $350 i guess. but it is a damn cool toy. i bought a huge ashley wood 3a robot years ago but its so big i can't really display it anywhere. this is probably about the same size if not bigger. but thanks for the alternative suggestion!

buttheadsmate Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Somewhere in my stash I have a big Sentinel head that I bought from an US ebay seller ...bigger than the Legends item of which I have several ......somewhere That doesn't help you . Check out what is on offer on US ebay when you tap in 'sentinel head ' , there seems to be a couple of options that might help. I'd love one of those haslab items but maybe its good that its US buyers only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 .....or I could pay BigBadToyStore $499.99 TBQH I could probably cajole a US friend to get me one but as I am preparing to move house again & I just can't justify the purchase as I downsize .

Man, with that Master Mold head and a handful of minimate sentinels, you'd have a very epic and pretty scale accurate scene. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
