***GM Group Build***
Rules:
Pick an HG GM, and paint and customize it. For it to count as a GM, it literally just has to have GM in the name on the box, otherwise, no, it doesn't count. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a GM Custom and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.

Due Date: 8/12
Submissions go to [email protected]
Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also name yourself, even if it's a pseudonym. Also indicate your participation in the contest below.

***Contest***
Instead of doing just a generic group build this time, there's going to be a prize pack. The prize pack will contain a GM Sniper K9, a set of glass paint mixing jars, and a Tamashii stand (sized for HGs or RDs). Shipping is at my expense.

Rules for the contest:
If you wish to enter the contest I'm going to actually need some proof. Please send me pictures of your kit as a work in progress and a final product with a timestamp and your email address. I hate to put his burden on you guys but this is the internet and people suck.

Judging
Regardless of who wins the contest proper, all entries will be made available on a blog post on Saturday, August 13th. Actual judging will take place Saturday as well, with the winner announced that evening. The winner will be contacted via email and be given a two day grace period for responding. PLEASE USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL WHEN SUBMITTING!

Do Jegans and Jesta count as GMs per the "For it to count as a GM, it literally just has to have GM in the name on the box" rule?

>>5738161
Doesn't count per last thread. It's not just on the box, but the actual name.

>>5728328
I actually saw some at work today, the figure leaves much to be desired.

It's kinda big but im chocking it up to it being an elite

The paint is pretty lackluster with almost none aside from the skintone and the molded plastic coloring for the armor

Articulation looked pretty limited on the box but could do basic elite poses


I'd just wait for the spartans

just discovered a review on halo toy news. http://www.halotoynews.com/2016/06/10/mattel-halo-ghost-vehicle-elite-officer-review-photos/

One of the biggest cons to me is that apparently the elite is measured to exactly, so when Mattel says a six inch figure line, they don't mean it is six inch scaled. Would also explain why the carbine seems a little too large for him if the weapons were made primarily to scale with the spartans instead of the micro sized elites. However the ghost seems a little undersized for the elite, which will look all the more awkward when the spartans are put in it.

Odd that they release only this for the six inch line so far. Considering mattel completely forgetting how to advertise release dates, who knows when the rest of the line is due to come out. Couldd be a good chance the next six inch figure to release will be the SDCC exclusive helioskrill spartan they announced a few days ago.

here is the Helioskrill exclusive. It will cost $25, for something that is essentially the most minimal repaint you could get from the retail version shown at Toy Fair. Just blue painted visor and detailings with a pistol and special skin variant of the assault rifle.

Seriously why do they do that? Is it because he wants a 6inch line?

>>5740877
Dunno what you mean by play. I do enjoy posing them, setting up interesting displays and practicing photography if that's what you mean. I also leave one or 2 on my desk to fiddle around with as a kind of anti stress mechanism. If you mean straight up role playing like giving em voices like >>5740885
suggested then no. I do like photographing them in ridiculous situations though.

>>5740885
Idk I just like come up with stories and set them up and then act them out. I mean I did it when I was a kid and just never wanted to stop. I obviously do it less now but still.

It helps me come up with script ideas and such so thats a plus. But that's not why I do it

I tell myself this every month and it has not stopped me from impulse buying.

Why do you feel happy when you get a figure of a character you like? Why do you desire a figure of a character you like?

>>5736952

Gathering dust. Where am I going to gather all that dust if I have no figures?

Semi-related.

Have you fuckers ever explored around that MyFigureCollection site? I genuinely never thought so many people would be collecting nothing but statues, Nendos, and miscellaneous weeb shit like key rings and cellphone straps and clear folders.

I pretty thoroughly tore apart my brother's lego C-3PO one time. he seemed to forgive me about 8 years after that.

>>5736099
Of course!
It's why I don't have a brother anymore

My younger brother was a little bastard, well he still is one. He used to bite the heads and hands of my favorite figures and always blamed our dog.

That also depends on what you put in there.

I use two strips per shelf. You'd have to buy two dioder sets per detolf shelf.

I tie them down and can angle them slightly.

I don't have mine lit, seems like either an inconvenience or a huge waste of electricity, unless you had it so the lights are only on when the room lights are on or something.
