Spastic for Plastic

SpasticPlastic · 05-15-2018, 10:24 AM

He's a cool enough figure, but a bit too articulated for my taste.

He looks awesome! And for $19.99, that is a steal if he is legit copy for sure!

From what I know, the way to say if he is a bootleg is if
1) the eyes being painted wrong (cross eyed)
2) or his finger nails
3) or in his right forearm, if the circular joint connection is painted black (see attachment)
4) or if he is missing a joint/rocker that lets you move his feet from side to side

If those are not there in your figure, then it is likely a legit copy

Damn. Guess he is a bootleg. The eyes are perfect, the nails look ok, he has rockers, but the pins are painted black.

Ohh, well they must have improved a lot then and the pin color isn't too much of an issue anyway

! So I'd say its still good for just $19.99.

These came today. More really old ones I missed originally. They came loose, but with all the accessories, for a very good price. I packed the seahorse, wave effect, and cosmic treadmill away before I remembered to snap a pic.

Mail call. Only 1 Predator left and I'll finally have them all.

SpasticPlastic · 05-25-2018, 02:41 PM

More mail.

SpasticPlastic · 05-26-2018, 06:30 AM

Even more mail.

I don't usually buy quarter scale figures and I'm not particularly fond of BaleBats, but I couldn't pass it up for the price. I got it for $32 at TRU this morning. It was "Associate Appreciation Day" so they took an additional 25% off.

SpasticPlastic · 05-29-2018, 08:07 AM

And here it is...the last Predator I needed to have them all. Elder v.1

ddarko · 05-30-2018, 09:34 PM

That is a lot of predators Spastic!

You are building an army

SpasticPlastic · 05-31-2018, 05:47 AM

I think I'm going to redo my Predator shelf today to include the 5 new ones and the throne. Just have to remember to leave room for Hawkins!

SpasticPlastic · 05-31-2018, 10:16 AM

Finished re-doing the Predator shelf. The throne is amazing.

SpasticPlastic · 05-31-2018, 03:05 PM

My very small large scale NECA figure collection.

ddarko · 05-31-2018, 10:45 PM

That throne does look pretty cool Spastic!! And all those predators!!!!! Loving the 1/4 Batman too!!

SpasticPlastic · 06-01-2018, 09:55 AM

I love the throne. I'm super relieved that it wasn't 14" like the solicits said. My shelves are only 13" high.

Big Ape vs Little Humans.

SpasticPlastic · 06-16-2018, 06:29 PM

Had to make one last purchase at TRU.

ddarko · 06-16-2018, 11:15 PM

2 x video games, 2 x movies... That is an interesting haul

! How is the Diaz figure?

SpasticPlastic · 06-17-2018, 03:29 AM

I haven't opened anything yet, so not sure on Diaz. This cost about $21 total, so I couldn't pass them up.

SpasticPlastic · 06-17-2018, 04:51 PM

Opened up the Mcfarlane figures. The Diaz figure is pretty neat. Don't know about the game at all, so not sure if the sculpt is accurate, but the sculpted details and paintwork are all top-notch. Also, I was really happy she could stand without the base. The stands they include with Color Tops are too bulky. The other bloke has some really awesome sculpted details, too.

I found Diaz a little awkward to pose on the stand, she tends to lean back quite a bit. Similar issue with Del Walker, except he leans forward, lol.

She does look amazing and pretty good in likeness to her character model in the game

Its not too much of an issue though when jointed figures lean though. Its the statue leans that drive me crazy lol. Whenever I want an old statue, my first check is if its a leaner haha.
