Personally, I think Dwight has put himself in between a rock and a hard place

CCC.

Sounds more like a government issue than a problem for Dwight.

IF you are a conspiracy theorist...He has been pushing 6" over 4" for a long time, and just when he is getting what he wants, an unforeseen and unpredictable political/diplomatic/economic event occurs which could seriously undermine his plan to kill 4" by making it the more affordable option to the company than the one he is supporting. Now he has to justify what he is doing against economic logic, and do it on the fly. THAT could be fun to watch.

if 2 countries square up to each other regarding import,shipping,excise fees and taxes i cant see how dwight has to justify anything outside designing action figures,lol.besides Hasbro make larger toys for other lines,will the designers of those toys have to face the wrath of upper management at Hasbro HQ?i dont think so.id imagine head of shipping will have to come up with a strategy.

Has the logic for the preferential treatment of 6" ever been that it was more affordable and cost effective? That kinda sounds like wishful thinking, tbh.

Mathematically it is not, yet they continue to be priced lower per mass/weight and volume of packaging, and they have more PoA.

Yeah I know. I hope we get more stuff in our scale, but at least we got those gamerverse packs and civil warrior is pretty sick. I was just surprised to see an article about it on Forbes of all places.

This is probably a long shot, but has anybody here tried splitting the torso on the SDCC Rom figure? I love that we got a Rom in this scale, but I’m not crazy about the arms and legs. I’d like to try to mate the lower torso and arms from this:

And see if that works out. I’m hesitant to monkey with a figure I paid $60 for however. Anybody tried any mods on this guy who can advise??

Wow. Really impressed with the customs and all the accessories. I was going to suggest that the Mage from Boss Fight has cool magic stuff but it really looks like you've got it covered!

A bit of a long term Project but I may have found someone who can do some 3.75" head casts (currently working on Freeman, Holland and Bernthal heads and possibly a Paltrow as well). These will be either shrinks of Hot Toys or Marvel Legends heads. If I can pull this deal off, would anyone be interested in buying unpainted casts? Wouldn't be available until sometime early(ish) next year.

LordMudd · 11-13-2018, 04:51 PM

Yes, definitely a Paltrow. Would they be post or socket?

I’m interested in any and all Legends-to-1/18 shrinks. Keep us posted.
