Halo 2: Master Chief Play Arts Kai Action Figure
Its like $90 though.

>>6415688
I always preferred the Joyride figures to the McFarlane ones. They were more playable to me.

Came to post this. As unlikely as it sounds, the PAK is actually the best option out there for the classic Halo 2/3 Chief design. You'll get your SMGs, no Shotgun, but a pretty great Energy Sword. It's a splendid figure.

Those are 1/6 TBLeague (phicen) bodies.

>>6407040
Thanks! I looked for 1/6 bodies and didn't know TB and Phicen are the same company. Heard CMToys are good too

Are any of you guys familiar with their products? they're quite expensive

Anyone?
I want them as drawing reference
Are there any fakes around?

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

Give feedback/critiques to help improve it.

Massive QC issues right out of the box - broken knee joint, one of the pouches off the belt, knee pads fell off at a slight breeze, tons of paint issues...

Decided I'm going to weather up the baton and shield too, will do that as soon as I get some more topcoat.

>>6387066
which version? 1/12?

>>6387066
I have one from the first edition run-- the one from the Convention where 1000Toys was selling them :)

I *really* wanted a 2nd edition for the marking on the beck.

That said, I can't wait for the CaRB to be released!

>>6387066
Got yesterday mine too, it's my second one (third if we include my 1/6 too)

They're good and cool, but what l find bothering is that it's like they got a good idea for a cool body, and they're recycling it for EVERY figure they're making (except kugutsu)

Keeping develop and production cost to a munimum and milking the cow, that's something l don't like too much..

>>6387177
Just a few more days!
Too bad it doesn't look like they included a skull face for this one..


Also, their gripping hands are too open, they can't hold shit properly

yes

doomguy

please

>>6384656
I just want a well articulated classic Doomguy with an accessory of every gun from the original game. Is that THAT hard? That's only 8 accessories if one's an alternate fist hand.

>>6451805
Don't you dare to insult a RoTF/HftD scout.

I don't care about masterpieces you can't make sprawling cities out of them populated by tiny mini men robots.

Also got my SDCC Primitive Optimus Prime today. Base mode is not bad and with Magnus Prime, PMOP, and Ultra magnus this makes 4 molds that are large trucks.

I wish Thunderclash repaint from this mold actually happened instead of getting canceled but it looks like POTP Optimus will be Thunderclash.

So there's already a ko mpm prime, is there gonna be one for bumblebee as well??¿?

Anon with the port converters, post more mech abominations.

Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys,
Oh, so very round and super chunky,
Bringing love where ever they go,
Everyone's made of a big rainbow.
Oh, red and orange, and pink and blue,
Rainbow Monkeys, Rainbow Monkeys,
We love you!

Well, looks like right the fuck now.

It is something I've been wondering about in general though. Like, figmas get delayed all the time, but at least GSC's site is pretty forthcoming about what's slipping. I'm usually in the dark about other companies though.

I did order tlk caliber prime and a random deluxe but he was packed into the tray and hlj said nothing, its the same shield as the voyager prime btw

>>6447431

He comes with pretty much everything I could want to.

Also forgot to ask about what height these figures are.

>>6446945
>$595
Jesus Christ. Much as I want a Scrooge, that's just fucking absurd.

Anyway, I haven't heard the greatest things about these figures unfortunately. Standard diecast problems--loose joints that are impossible to re-tighten, easily chipped paint, poor weight distribution.

>>6446948
That's in Hong Kong dollars. The nephews are listed as $230 each on their cards, but BBTS has them for $30 USD each.

On the shelf.

Store them in your heart where they will be forever pristine. The physical form, sell it off.

maybe also an acid-free bin from container store or something?
