Clear blanks aren't up for pre-order yet but I think there are a couple places you could try to see if they have better distribution to you.

Locker Toys out of Hong Kong
In Demand Toys out of UK
Big Bad Toy Store out of US

There is also the actual phantom limb figure. The forearms are at least clear.

That Phantom Limb is probably the nicest Venture Bros figure they've made but it is a bit tall for my Marvel 3.75 collection.

I'll probably have to check back with ID toys if they get translucent figures in future they seem to be the best way to get vitruvian hacks and I have bought from them previously.

Thanks anyhow for the suggestions, I'm still gonna hope someone dislikes the Multipack X-Factor Iceman enough to sell it to me.

What's that robot from? That could come in handy for all sorts of things from display purposes to customs.

Found him while looking at the Archivist's collection photos. It's from a company called Epoch.

You have to assemble it.

That's no biggie, in fact makes doing custom ideas that much easier.
I'll try googling for it later, any box pics or other kind of names attached to make finding it easier?

*Edit*
Looked them up, they're 300 yen capsule toys. That's perfect!

*Edit2*
And sold out everywhere.

On the plus side, they're so popular, more will probably get made again, but no clue when or where.

They're the kind of release that if you find them on Ebay, they'll be considerably pricier from mark up because of popularity though.

Grey and purple look amazing! Definitely want to get those.

That's for all 4? NICE!

Deadpool needed some new lawn furniture anyway!

Stuff like this is stuff I wish american hobby stores would carry. I'd shop at them more often instead of the random times I need paint.

Great shots, neatogecko! You've been killing it

Feyd Rautha · 08-19-2016, 07:28 PM

I'm a huge fan of Ninjas and Samurai (also Hydra, Hail Hydra!) so when GI Joe re-released Budo it made very happy, but I needed a figure to display them with so...

Simple kitbash and skin wash so they matched up.

I like to think of them as another incarnation of Hand Ninja/Samurai

Thanks man! I've been having a good time with it.

I always enjoy your shots!

redx24 · 08-20-2016, 01:15 PM

Thinking of using this for a cosmic control rod. It's a unlit double bladed light saber from a Darth maul fig.

Jackieboy · 08-20-2016, 01:32 PM

Anyone know of any upcoming toy conventions around September to October? I was planning to go to NJCC but I missed that and I was unable to score tickets to NYCC. I'm really bummed out because I was lookig forward to those events.

Been trying to organize my figs. Grouping everything I buy multiples of together. I have everything bagged, but when I buy more amry builders I just put them in random bins.

Wish I had more jackets, but those Gambits get pricey.

Regular Multiple Madrox

MODOK and A.I.M. I have the baf, but he's all dusty. I didn't want to wipe him down.
