There's a new Batcave for 6 inch figures. Looks decent with 4 inch figures.

The Grimm Reaper figure got added as the first stretch goal hit.

The interesting thing about these Batcaves is that while they are made for the larger figures, they always seem to be a tad small, maybe to save plastic and cut costs (?), but it always seems to make them fit the 4" figures better.

I kind of hate to say this but I need to be more picky with these Kickstarters. I am in for @$1500 in the Eagle Force set and then the Hellscreamerz Kickstarter is coming October 31 and I plan to also spend big on that. This one may just have to be that one I bypass. I dig GI Joe so Eagle Force is a given and the Hellscreamerz are basically a natural fit for the Star Brigade or alternatively Star Wars, Liens or other Sci Fi properties but the Dime Store stuff, while cool, doesn't fit much for me. I have to decide if I am going to spend there as well or hold off I guess.

LordMudd · 10-01-2016, 11:15 PM

I think this will fail, not that I don't like the figure. Westerns come and go in a cycle and right now they are out, so no real fan base in the media.

Maybe... I think if the Zombie Lab stuff comes out in a few days (uncertain of that) it will impact it. If not they have a better shot. They are well presented. I think they would definitely have made it with less competition. As far as this round I think they have a very good shot but time will tell. Always hard to figure it out based on week 1 bc that is when most of the hardcore folks jump in. I will say if they dont and find a good opening in the beginning of the year they might have zero competition . Long story short, if not now I think they will eventually.

LordMudd · 10-02-2016, 11:25 AM

I think pirates would do better right now, even though the pirate phase is winding down.

Slowly working on my Ghost Rider Dodge Charger in 1/18 scale (could use some suggestions on what to use for flame effects), but looking for other 'easier' Projects in-between, so, does anyone know if the Ben 10 Alien Lab camper van is 1/18 scale? Looks like it would be a great stand-in for the vehicle Jane/ Darcy/ Selvig had in Thor.

And while I think of it, any suggestions what I could use for an Agents of Shield 'Bus/Bus Mk2'?

Closest I have seen at TRU in their military line, which I don't think is available now but might be back during Christmas, or check the web site.

It is the True Heroes line and is called the Shark Plane. Again, I have not seen it on the shelf in a few weeks at least.

Last year I got a Playmobile Band for the instruments for my 4" figures. 1 piece was missing and I had to call them for a replacement part. BTW, their customer service was great. Apparently, that got me on their mailing list and a couple of months ago I got this in the mail.

In it are several great pieces compatible with 4" figures. I will start with this one, the Deluxe Dollhouse.

Notice the size of the figures, indicating plenty of clearance for 4" figures.

What was really cool was the insert section in the middle od the book with add on pieces to make the buildings bigger.

You can also get a spiral stair and lighting kits for it.

Here is the spy HQ set which would work for SHIELD, Hydra, or AIM.

I did 2 shots of the page just in case.

LordMudd · 10-14-2016, 10:54 AM

Hopefully a little better shot.
