Right, quick un-retouched pictures of Rose. My opinion - the sculpt is great, that's moreorless Billie on her return to Who. Likeness wise I feel it's closer to her in one go than Hot Toys have got to Scarlet Johansson in several. Paint finish is quality, no rubbed noses this time! Plastic hair...

I meant to check that last night and forgot. Just stood Bond between HT Dr Strange and Stan Lee... no real noticeable difference in head sizes. Ditto HT Han & Luke. Ditto QMX Kirk & Spock. And the body height moreorless matches that of your standard issue 1/6th figure too. Personally, comparing...

First up, thanks for the good wishes sent my way - that was the last dose of chemo and the all the numbers are looking pretty good Anyhoo, dragged my butt into the toy den to try to photograph Bond - these are just quick pix in pretty lousy light and before I've had a good play with him and got...

Just got my Bond, no pix though as I'm in the midst of the post-chemo tiredness/wretchedness stage. He's a quality piece - great sculpt & detailing... and the suit is great; it's not too small at all and I don't think any ironing is required... though the shirt collar might need tweaking a bit...

Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode VII - Han & Chewbacca Collectible Figure And another set of pix too - I spent a while trying to pinch down my Chewie's overly wide moustache. It seemed to work and while there's a rather flat-top gap between his upper lip and 'tache it's only really...

Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock Cheers :) The background is just some lumps of rockery stone, moss squares & scatter, a bit of fake plant and some blue card (I have a corner of the garage set aside to store bits of diorama stuff... well, perhaps a bit more...

Re: Quantum Mechanix 1/6 Star Trek The Original Series Kirk and Spock Yay, my Kirk & Spock arrived from Aaron this morning too (despite the postal service running at impulse rather than warp speed) - the wait, no matter how agonizing, is absolutely worth it; these are glorious figures - well...

The cheap styrofoam insulation I once bought from ebay was horrible stuff so I've always stuck to the good folk at Hobbycrafts Direct... https://www.homecrafts.co.uk/buy-styrofoam-m831ai ... theirs probably falls into the expensive category but it's good quality and free delivery on orders...

Quick shots of my Saruman - great figure... [/url]Saruman by MiskatonicNick, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]Saruman and the Palantír of Orthanc by MiskatonicNick, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]Saruman vs. Gandalf by MiskatonicNick, on Flickr[/IMG] Did have to fiddle with the head a bit (removed the black...

Mine arrived the other day - cracking figure :) Nice work Asmus. Not really seeing the conehead in hand... but that hair sculpt is soft enough that you can fold it in on itself, widening the forehead. There may be slight brown marks, but that's just Middle Earth dirt ;) Be careful though as...

Cool pic. Mine arrived today - cracking figure :) Had the same magnetic troubles as you though - the plastic body and two layers of cloth kinda make it impossible for the extensions to stay on... but if you've got a decent strong neodymium flat magnet handy try that under the clothes; that...

And another one for the glowing chorus of approval aisle! BCS did Hartnell and us collectors proud with this one!

Thanks everyone :) Kaiser is a brand of Barbie/Joe/doll stands - your basic waist grabber but with a small, flat thin metal footprint. Very handy for when you're shooting diorama scenes you can cover the base with a matching material to the floor you're using which makes for much easier...

Cheers :) lol, can't remember what I did to his coat! Probably just pulled it onto his shoulders a little more? I also pulled his head up a little more to give him more neck - probably pulled too hard as the head came away from the internal neck-cup but that's perfect as it gives me ample...

A couple of quick shots, fresh out of their boxes, quickly posed (with the aid of Kaiser stands) and with a minimum of futzing... The Game is A Foot by MiskatonicNick, on Flickr Mrs Hudson's Boys by MiskatonicNick, on Flickr Very happy with how they've turned out, though sadly both came with...
