I'm looking for a name of LEGO bike series from mid 90's. The series was sold in cans like Boinicles, also they had robot features and were armed. I remember there were black, red and yellow, but probably there was more colour varieties. This grey exhaust piece used to be a head for each of them. Any clue?
What, like Slizers or Roboriders?
>>6221919
Roboriders

Thanks anon. That is what I meant.

Best selling action figure line confirmed
Honestly, pretty well-deserved. Fun figures, good selection that caters both to kids and casuals and us old weirdo smarks. The Elites have good articulation, they're getting good at not being, like, a year behind (Samoa Joe is already released as both Elite and Basic, for instance), the sculpts generally have good likenesses and the construction is high quality. The reduced articulation "Basic" line is pretty lame, but it's also cool that they're giving kids who care less about articulation an option and a way to save some money.

Middle American white trash? Sounds about right
Has anyone ever tried just slapping figma joints in these things instead of the usually Revol ones?
>>6204771
Give it a go, matey. Although I think you'll have to make the holes bigger in order to fit the Figma joints in.
>>6204796
Oh, I don't have any at the moment. I'm basing my eventual purchases on whether or not it would work.
>>6204771
Hobby base joints will work. Not sure about figma.

Got my order in for one Zaku Cannon earlier this week! How many did you grab? I tossed in a set of super parts for a DX Chogokin VF-31J too, as I managed to snag one over at HLJ.
Don't particularly like the VF-31's super parts, but with how past DX super parts have sold I figure it's better to jump in now, rather than pass and regret it after the price triples.
>did anyone else notice the preorders are still up for the prototype Dom and Gouf on Nippon yasan?
I think NY almost always tends to order a little extra when it comes to exclusives, primarily so they can sell then for a massive upcharge once they're released, but as a side benefit it lets them keep preorders open a bit longer.
>>6190237
Ahhh, good catch anon, I didn't even think of that. Char's still got that rad muzzle flash effect going for him, though! But I must say, I really, really wish they had simply included that effect with every Zaku release.
>>6190736
Haha, my bad.

Post your custom projects here; mods, fixes, repaints, dios, effects parts, accessories, 3D printed stuff, or whatever else you're working on.
Offer tips and advice, ask for help, post tutorials/guides, and have fun!
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
