There are some Miles from Tomorrowland spaceships that would work nicely with MU. Here is the Spaceguard Cruiser

It is actually 2 pieces there is a little tank part and a ship part that connects to the tank piece.

Wings in the "in" position

Wings in the "out" position

Wings detached from the tank piece.

MU for Scale

MU for Scale again

a little too animated for my taste

LordMudd · 01-07-2016, 10:52 PM

A paint job can fix that.

I have the giant spaceship from this and the pilot seat on that is a bit small. I had to cross the legs. Does this ship have the same problem or does the figure sit fine?

theArchivist · 01-08-2016, 11:11 AM

Yeah I had to cross his legs to get him to fit in there like that.

Can you post a pic of the bigger one with a figure in the cockpit and one standing outside? I'm contemplating a use for that one.

(P.S. Thank you spellchecker. I was this close to asking for a figure in the "cockpic.")

anyone thing about joining in on the Captain Action kickstarter they just posted an update that if you are getting the All-in set of Captain Action, Captain Evil, Action Jackson, and Jett Jungle it will now include the 2 variant Captain Actions at no additional cost.

I like the gray. Makes me feel urban commando.

I hope for the sake of things 3.75" and proper articulation- that this happens. For me, it is waaaay not my thing. Good luck and happy days to those that pledge!

Ask and you shall receive (I guess). This was kind of out of the blue and odd that we were just talking about these guys...

BBTS just listed a pre-order for Beta.

the waist looks very tiny compared to the rest of the figure

LordMudd · 01-15-2016, 08:05 PM

So does the Alphas, but Beta looks a bit beefier.

ukmu · 01-15-2016, 10:27 PM

Love the idea but this one looks pretty goofy. I need to check them out a bit more, but the HUGE latissimus muscles and skinny waist and tiny bird legs are quite a bit "off" looking at first glance. Also the elbow joint is massive. Cool concept though.

ukmu · 01-15-2016, 10:38 PM

I couldn't find anything on these at Kickstarter.... Can someone more savvy than myself post a link?

LordMudd · 01-16-2016, 06:29 AM

GoNativeToys.com.

I like the Alpha better. In the "gallery" section there are some amazing customs. My favourite was on page 4, the diver. Very nice.

Has anyone used these here? Are they easy to paint? Do they 'rub' much?

LordMudd · 01-17-2016, 08:40 AM

The Toro and Human Top figures here are Alphas. They fit well with DCIH or make good kid size figures for Hasbro Marvel figures.

UrsaMagnus · 01-17-2016, 10:51 AM

Friggin' GORGEOUS customs!!

I have one but I got it to be the figure it came as. My biggest complaint about these is that they have an O-ring like the old 80s era GI Joes to keep the torso and crotch together.

I do like some of the figure kits they have though and hope they articulate them a bit and offer them as well. Not sure if I mentioned this here but they did mention that they had planned on starting a Kickstarter for some of their figures starting sometime in late January.

Holy crap, will that hat be removable?! I could use it for a Hux custom!

Yes, it is removable.

That scales nicely. Would you mind if I use that scale picture for my "supplements" checklist?

Also the team at I-a-Elemental sent out a silhouette of their upcoming series 2 line. More info at Toyfair
