If it's not LED, it is.

So would these do the trick?

Incandescent lightbulbs are great and pretty much only cause discoloration if they're near enough to be heated by the lightbulb.

LEDs are even better and most don't get hot enough to discolor plastic.

>>5351379
yes, that works well, but i'd choose a lightbulb that offers blue or white light.
Most LED boxes will tell you how the light will appear with a graph. Most LEDs you find at retailers are going to be shitty "soft white" which has that ugly yellow look. 5000k+ are best, if you want your stuff to look natural.

A lot of stores in my area are selling LEDs for 33¢ to a dollar. Seems like there's a lot of discounts being given to stores from the government and utility companies. They're all shitty yellow light though.
blue and white spectrum lights cost $10-20 now, which is pretty cheap.

>>5351078
keep your faggoty forum drama to yourselves you faggot

>>5351078
Its a 2 year old post, why do you care?

>>5351037
Yes, still haven't found anything to gift to mom.

Get a can of compressed air, like for cleaning a keyboard. Or simple rag with warm water.
Goo-gone for the unwanted stickers.

And no, I wouldn't put your toys in the dishwasher.

>>5350929
I tried a rag and compressed air, but there are deep/narrow sockets and joints where the dust is too.

>>5351002

Old toothbrush dipped in a cleaner like Mean Green works wonders for narrow crevices and hard to access areas.

The Twelve Days of Christmas happen AFTER Christmas!

Calm the fuck down and post day 3

Maybe this thread's a tiny bit early?

Freakin' cool.
Really nice solution on the knees too, sorry pledge didn't work, though I think you mentioned that a long while ago. I too kinda figured out friction pins worth relatively well as joints on occasion.

So, what should I use for hands on my Nuhvok-Va MOC? Fingers seem like they would be too big for the rest of him. Here's what I've been using for most of this MOC's life. I apologise in advance for shitty pictures.

This one has Onua Mata claws because I had a load laying around. It looks a bit closer to the original, which I like, but now he can't pick anything up.

>>5349882
Black series is okay, but better for armored and masked troopers. these'll be around 20$
SHF is better in every way, sans some small differences but have less of a selection and are mostly sold out.
these are 40-80, more if they're sold out with no re-issue
There's also sideshow and hottoys figures, which are incredible but the bodies on sideshow are pretty bad and they cost about 200-400 depending on the scale .

I dunno man. With all the hype, companies are trying to put out as much shitty stuff they can produce while the scalpers are trying to buy out all the shitty stuff they can buy. So currently, consumers have to buy all the shitty stuff at shitty prices.

So unless you have uncontrollable impulses, maybe it's best to wait a while for the craze to die down.

When the fuck is Hot Toys announcing TFA Han?

>>5349525
Never, he's dead, so who cares?

>>5349527
I don't know, friend. If Phasma is still alive, Han could be too. Or did an official source confirm he died?

Disneyland has some droid factory sets. Or you can build your own from random pieces. I was there last week and made an Imperial R5 and a Captain Rex colored R7.

the src was on sale on hlj for the fall sale. if its still up on hlj it will be on sale the next sale like %100 sure. that is over priced

>>5349122
its $33 on amazon. dont bother buying it from that scalper.

>>5349125

>46$ CAD

That is quite the difference. See, I thought this would be a decent deal considering the crazy extra charges that come from importing to Canada. Thanks for the heads up!

>>5348223
HT itself is based out of HK, so it's 100% authentic

Walmart
Target
Toys R Us

And other fine retailers.

>>5347976
Get the Walmart version, more joints, cooler looking.

>>5347976
Don't fucking bother. Wait a few moths for the greedy fucks currently selling shit figures to "double-dip" by releasing the better-articulated version that'll probably even have a cloth cloak.

>>5347739
FYE is still a store?!?

>>5347739
Oh man, this is HELLA FUCKING EPIC!

Fucko Paps are garbage, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

What figures are you planning on getting? Not all figures even have bootleg versions to begin with.

If they have a generic stock photo and no actual pics of an in-hand box, request photos. It's not completely helpful, but i've been able to spot bootlegs by doing this.

>>5347697
myfigurecollection.net
search the figure you want
see if it has a bootleg

>>5347448
SENT :)

>>5347448
Can't see the part with you in the background. Could you take a picture of it lying on a table?

>>5347448
why don't you start with the make and model senpai?
also good luck getting help. they only talk about robots and chinese cartoon toys here.
