Playset Appreciation Thread

Cheezah95 · 09-19-2019, 10:02 AM

Love this thread! I always like figuring out creative playsets. Does anybody have any experience re-painting those Imaginext playsets as more realistic? I'm planning to re-paint one of the Batmobiles, and depending on how well that goes I was thinking of doing the same to their playsets.

Got these for my Haunted House from Ebay today.

I'm compiling this one now. Worked on the image a bit tonight.... it's a great example of this playset, and honestly it's a great playset period. One of my favorites, maybe only second to the G.I. Joe ARAH Headquarters.

^ Yeah, easily one of the best playsets of all time.

It's so well done in it's simplicity and it's not overloaded with weird gimmicks. It's basically a firehouse, as it should be. You can put an Ecto-1 in it!

Off the top of my head, the only two things I would change would be the addition of four more walls and a floor piece to make a containment unit basement so you could keep the garage doors at ground level; and some Kenner-styled proton pack racks on the garage floor would've been pretty awesome.... Even if it was just a single separate molded piece to plug the backpack pegs onto.

How well does that work with 6 inch figures?

ludovicotek · 12-23-2019, 02:38 PM

It doesn’t. 6” figures will not fit in the second and third levels of the building. It does, however, make for a great backdrop. Especially the front and brick side of the building.

I was more wondering about the front, yeah. Like if I had a 6 inch figure in front, would it look alright

I haven't done a papercraft custom playset in a while but I got motivated last night and did this in about an hour.

Got my 1:18 scale bar from Extremesets yesterday, starting to put it together.

I downloaded the Cloud City playset from Erikstormtrooper's site some time ago but have never tried to make it, but I took a couple of pieces of it this morning, dropped them into Paint, and made this. Droids for scale.

Readysetz has 2 new playsets up for preorder for 6" figures. If they are true to form, there should be 4" versions to follow. They are a military base and a Haunted House.
