Nice work Bro!! Im glad to see people reposting up in here!! Ersico have you heard anymore about the WWRp Heavy Brambles yet??

[ersico]

nope.i haavent heard anything but im waiting on the ironpanda fromb bambaland and the deimos from bbts.

[rupertvalero]

and im waiting on a heavy bramble from both 'this is vinyl' and 'tenacious toys.' ggrrr. as i always lament, i despise how 3A keeps posting new stuff without as much as giving a definite shipping date instead of giving us nothing. not cool and im starting to get really tired.

i'll post more pics later. i just sheared off the head off a 3rd mini-bertie. im making the head movable. (engineering note im looking into finding a way to fully articulate the arms without having to glue the lower arms to the elbow joint- without completely removing the signature elbow design.

[ersico]

sheared and magnetized the head, added another eye, glued arm bent, fixed shoulders with magnets. got stikfa gun, and contemplating pelvis articulation

will be warbot bertie with skull and crossbones

[ersico]

[rupertvalero]

good looking stuff, E. i saw some guy on the ThreeA forum actually got the mini-bertie to fully articulate. genius!

[ersico]

ya, i saw that too, too much work lol. the medic it looks cool but damn, i don't think i have steady enough hands for all that

Yeah i feel ya pain there,me and ersico ordered our Heavy Brambles at the same time,and it seems like years ago now,the trouble is im starting to lose interest in the damn thing now,and i have contemplated messaging the seller to cancel my pre-order and get my money back.....

Can either of you guys, post pics of the fully articulated version you seen on the 3a forum? I tried looking for it, but gave up. I actually thought they were full articulated. aww well.

I'm not sure what to do with the 2 blank ones I'm getting from you. I was thinking about making the desert bertie figure. Or maybe a deadpool bot or iron man bot. But lately I'm thinking a R2D2 and C3P0 would be cool.

[ersico]

go for r2d2 and c3po, sounds cool. there was some of those customs released a long time ago on a site as exclusives.. go for it

I was able to get my mini bertie bott army colored today in my sleeve, getting me that much closer to done of my full sleeve. My birthday was yesterday and my mom got me a good size tattoo gc same with my gf so I was able to get some session time in today.









It's a sleeve so it wraps all around my arm, it's fresh and hard to take the pics myself, but gives you guys an idea.
