Are there any Valkyries in this scale,
or decent parts for a custom(winged helmet and such)?

LordMudd · 06-05-2016, 05:07 AM

Marvel's Brunhilda figure is out, but has no helmet and was never depicted with one. Moonstar was but has no figure. Her wings look like bird wings. You might look for those dime store packs of bird figures and cut wings off of those.

CCC.

Just ordered my first set of Greek Hacks figures. I can't wait for those new zombie ones though, I'm gonna be all over those.

This looks so cool! Why did you make such an obscure custom?

BossFightStudios has really outdone themselves. Though all of the upcoming series have something to look forward to, my most anticipated series is the sci-fi one. Really like the look of the retro space-girl.

I don't really know why I chose I spider ewok exactly. It was for a Star Wars monster customizing contest years ago.

theArchivist · 06-07-2016, 05:39 AM

This went up for sale at the Onell store last night and sold out quickly. It is a Outer Space Men Orbitron in Metaluna Mutant colors.

theArchivist · 06-16-2016, 06:07 AM

SDCC 16 exclusive. Hopefully will be a general release as well.

theArchivist · 06-30-2016, 05:38 AM

Just got the wave 1 of Game of Thrones figures in. They are ok as far as figures go. I like them though and hope more waves are possible.
Boss Fight Athenian Warrior is in there for scale.

The Mythic Legions line by 4 Horsemen Studios has great 1:12 scale medieval/fantasy figures. Lots of detail and articulation. Plus many of the pieces are interchangeable so you can customized the figures a bit. I think most of the stuff on their website is sold out now but they are adding more soon. You can check out their Instagram account (four_horsemen_studios) for some of the upcoming stuff.

Sounds good, if I am looking for any giants.

Those are actually a lot better than I expected. Somebody has to cast Longclaw. Also, why is the Night's King all blue? Is that a variant?

wtf where did you get that Cacodemon that's awesome

Has anyone had a go at painting the Vitruvian hacks blanks?

I wanted to get a white blank for my custom Phantom Limb because I figured it would be the easiest to paint but the shipping price to the UK is ridiculous the only blank a UK retailer sells is Beige not a huge issue to me because most of the figure will be painted over and it will save me from having to paint the small skin tone on his face.

Foreddyn · 08-14-2016, 02:04 PM

^Or you could try a translucent figure. Ice-man? Just giving ideas. I'm sorry, I don't know and I'm curious too.

Iceman was one of my original ideas he could work with a headswap with Machine man.

Its a shame Bossfight doesn't have a a fully clear figure.

I read they were going to have a UK distributor only thing I can find is idtoys who only have 4 blanks and 2 Skeletons.

I'd like to support companies that offer us stuff like Blank figures to customise but I cannot justify such a huge payment towards a small figure.

Check out Gonativetoys. Their blanks are a bit smaller, more in line with DCIH, but definitely cheaper.

Hey, I'm looking for female characters to use as Middle Eastern/Arab/Persian/Muslim characters, so with headscarfs, Abayas(loose dresses) etc.

I wanted to see if anything like Schleich had some "Arabian Nights" type figures to use as a base but they don't seem to make anything like that. I've one character in particular that's somewhat of a Persian assassin/rogueish type and not sure what to use for her.

Also want something I can use for Dust.

If there's a series of Schleich-ish minis of different cultural dresses from around the world that would be really neat.

Star Wars 2009 Legacy Padme' might work for you.
