Variable Action Heroes

There's practically nothing for the original. Shippoden has Figuarts that are alright.

Recap of last thread:

>Doll stands
The clear ones with floating arms seem to be pretty flimsy, especially for bigger dolls.

>Sicktress/Miro muscle body
Gets better, still not good; the one from b-yp-nk is sadly still too much of a WIP

>Boyviscera vs Pintsizedpalace copy drama
"I can see it, they both look like shit"

>Painting DD nails
Sealant, thinned acrylic paint, gloss.
If you are afraid to stain your girl with dark colors, gloss the nails and seal them again before starting to paint them.

>Removing face-ups on tan skin
Same like other skintones, just needs longer to get a clean head.

>Sealants that won't chip
Don't exist. Some people had luck with mod podge though, just let it dry properly (several weeks).

>Coconut Oil to remove frosting
Apparently okay for removing sanding marks on tan dolls, but please don't rub it on a face-up...better don't rub it on your doll at all.

>Same old Kayke drama
Releasing yet another broken handed, goblin faced doll

>Enamel paint?
Stains, smells like shit, hard to remove, likes to eat other paints. Better stick to acrylics.

>Shoe sadness
We really need more options

>Helping out Dearmine anon
Dearmine is cool, dolls are good quality, face-ups are true to the pictures.

>Where to get custom eyes?
If you can't find an independent artist on etsy, try Enchanted Eyes

>Meet-Ups?
People take pictures, talk about dolls, sell stuff, gossip.

>BJD eyes
One anon wrote up a lot of information about the different eye types. Can be found in the v2 guide (see bottom).

>MSC troubles despite correct weather
Make sure the nozzle is clean, warm up can in bowl of warm water before spraying.

>Clothes on etsy
Most stuff is from Taobao or shitty crochet, shirt and leggings bullshit :(

One anon wrote up a new /toy/ BJD v2 guide (shortening links is unfortunately not allowed):

You guys got anything on the table?
Something you'd love to try/see done once?

>>6304545
Nothing bjd on the table other than the usual deciding/saving money/waiting for a nice limited fullset, but now that you bring it up, a centipede girl doll would be really neat.

Here's some tips from the previous threads:

Beginners: practice on cheap figures first.

For sculpting on figures: use 2-part epoxy putty like Aves apoxie or fixit.

For tools: try a basic carving/sculpting set like the kind arts & crafts stores have, and calipers for symmetry.
Dental tools have also been said to work well.
Also, using a Dremel is recommended. Minimites (the small $20-25 ones) are fine for starting out, but the battery life is poor. Upgrade to a corded one only if you want to get deeper into customizing. They are useful for stuff outside of the hobby though, so it's a good investment regardless.

For paints: use acrylics. Paint in multiple, thin coats. Brands like Vallejo/P3/Citadel are recommended, because of pigment quality.

Use a sealer when finished to protect your work. There are matte varieties and sealers that give a glossy look. As with painting, use multiple thin coats.

A flex shaft attachment on a Dremel is a godsend and relatively inexpensive. The grinding shield is also pretty useful, but you can improvise one using a cut open soda bottle.

Also, there is a guide in the works, by mellow

Was on 2chan yesterday and found this cool custom Greninja. They modified his wrists, hips and ankles. His tongue even has swivel joints

>>6340978
Proportions look awful on him.

>>6340978
looks thin for bane

>>6340990
>>6340996
The arms are fine. Hardy wasn't really that buff when he played Bane. If anything, his lats need to be bigger but they probably sacrificed the sculpt so you can have the swapping feature with the coat on.

>>6340462
I have 2 spares, one for Deadpool and one for Spiderman.

I can ship it for you if you're willing to pay for shipping

>>6340462
It's not supposed to come with spares because you're not supposed to be a hamhamded retard.

>>6340468
Awesome bro, that would be amazing! please send me an invoice to my paypal: Rohit13194 @ gmail.com

Thanks! <3

>>6331903
It's somehiw boxy, sleek, and spike all at once and it doesn't have seem to have much parallel-lines-are-the-best-greebling. I love it.

Wei Jiang late to the megs game. It's supposed to be a mash up of Takara and DX9. It have the silencer on the barrel and stock of the gun mode integrated into the transformation somehow, while remaining clean as fuck.

>>6319173
Out? It's been out since January. It's awesome.

>>6319192
Any gripes?
Most places I've looked out said he wouldn't be in until next month. Guess that's just for restock.

>>6319215
His skin tone is way too dark in person. He looks like a black dude instead of an asian.

Was about to start a thread, oh well.

Old thread: >>6336884

>>6339377
How do the faces change? Is it separate heads?

>>6339377

I think he looks good except for the head. The head just looks off to me. He looks a bit too much like a guy wearing a helmet than a robot.

Hopefully he'll turn out better than the 3P Sunstreaker's.

>>6339380

Faceplates. Takara's finally doing what other companies have been doing for years.

I don't really know what happened but I bought this for 5 Euro.
What the fuck am I going to do with 5 more rabbits/hamsters?

The fucking camper from the creator set is bigger than the bus.

>tfw a lot of your klocki isn't even open
I don't even know what to do with it anymore. It's all just taking up space.

>>6336435
who's going to be the first hamhand to fuck these up

>>6336444
They already look much more solid (especially in the wiring and piston parts) than another toy company's attempt whose figures were either broken in the box or broke when taken them out and these appear to be capable of actually holding their portal guns too.

>>6336435
My question is why bother. Out of the popularity of this series did people care about those two that much. I dont know anyone who bothered with the co op yet they get 3 tiers of figures and we got one shitty Chell and no decent Glados Merch.

June 2nd according to Amazon is when they will be out.

>>6334881
i didnt knew this exist.
sadly i cant see them as well because the picture is so small.

What mold is the Spidey in the MJ two-pack?

How good is the Toy Biz Magneto? The newer Hasbro one is insanely overpriced and I'd like a classic mags.

>>6333781
Used to have a G1 headmaster hosehead. Really loved that red firetruck robot.
Then because we moved house a few times, i started to misplace and lose the accessories. Losing the headmaster sucks.

Yes.

Bump for my interest.

Nothing, guys?

The Hot Toys is pretty awesome.

Haven't figured out how to port it from my dreams into reality though. :(
