    Joy Toys Warhammer 40K 1/18 Figures

    I've been tempted, but going by reviews the paint jobs just seem too variable in quality for the price point. No denying that many of them look awesome, however!

    Action Figure MT MT 1/6 Geralt

    Is anyone else missing the meathook? My figure didn't come with one.

    Metal Gear Solid collectibles

    Been a while since I checked this thread, so apologies for likely dragging things a little off course. I bought the old Limtoys D-Pack, so was it ever made possible to get the superior chest webbing and pouches from the LimToys D-Pack ST edition seperately? Don't really fancy spending another...

    Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

    I was slightly off, in that Ellie is a few pounds cheaper (like literally £5.) By today's exchange rates, I paid $156 for Joel including shipping. I know some will scoff at a $24 difference, but I need to keep a close eye on my cash. Plus, CC_Toys opportunism here has annoyed me so much I'm...

    Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

    So a figure that re-uses seven accessories, and doesn't come with a body, is already around £7 more than I paid for its companion piece including shipping? Ugh, why did they have to get greedy. It's such a **** move to jack the prices up when an Ellie is pretty much essential to display with...

    Limited to just an iphone, alas, but shall see if I can take some over the next few days. :)

    Pfft, anything short of Hot Toys can be made to look bad when you catch it in the wrong light; I certainly don't recognise the sculpt I have in that photo. It's funny, I never thought I'd be one of those guys that says 'but that's a terrible photo!' :lol

    Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

    Interesting to see the price if we also have to factor in a body. Otherwise, looks good. I did notice that it looks like we won't be getting an accurate Beretta Model 70 pistol for her, though, but instead a bog standard model 92. Must be them trying to keep costs down, as after exhaustive...

    Resident Evil Customs Thread

    I was pretty pleased with the Hot Heart version, and certainly wouldn't call it horrible by any stretch. The Our World one looked a bit too doll-like for me, especially so with some of the in hand pics. Expression was just too blank.

    Action Figure 1/6 Threezero - Fallout 4 - T60 Power Armor Collectible Figure

    A single weapon for a $400 figure? ThreeZero are making Hot Toys look generous with their accessories!

    Metal Gear Solid collectibles

    Let me help you out here, as there seems to be some confusion. Entitlement means that you believe you have a right for something to be a certain way. Preference means you have a greater liking for one alternative over another. Which one of those do you think is more appropriate when you read...

    Metal Gear Solid collectibles

    Really can't tell if you're being facetious with this post. :lol On the off chance you're not, nobody but the most die-hard fans buy multiple versions of the same figure (with one or two extra accessories thrown in) and saying that those who want more LimToys MGS figures need to do so is...

    Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

    Huh, so it seems that what I thought was a roll of tape is actually supposed to be a stretch bandage. Never saw Joel use one in the game, but he went through a lot of gauze, so I bleached it with turpentine and put a black wash on to dirty it up a bit. Looks more appropriate now! Also, a...

    Action Figure CC_TOYS the last survivor Joe

    The sculpts are pretty great, for sure. The rest is a mixed bag. I needed to break out the silicone lubricant and a toothpick (kinky) to oil the body joints, so moving an arm didn't sound like opening a door in a haunted house. Still, was the same with the LimToys Big Boss, so no big deal...
