For anyone that is weird like me and likes to compare old figure parts to new ones, I picked up some of the original GTW parts, here they are next to the current parts. The staff is a styrene rod with a more cone shaped topper. It’s much less fragile as the interior is filled with a clear...
Got tired of making the middle part work with the mane so just combed it all to the back, much happier!
Also he’s on sideshow blue screen at the moment so I imagine inventory very low (if you believe that)
These are just the files I’ve found online, probably for height reasons as the full prop has to be almost 7’ tall. Printing them as one piece now shoutout to tinkercad lol. The taller is less accurate but a dowl could just slot in
I’m trying to print one but the lattice work is so thin at the top and it’s a very delicate.
May try and combine these in tinkercad to see
If I can eliminate the need for a seam in the middle. I’d say I’m about 30% sure this could work at the moment lol
Ok so did more futzing this morning and wanted to add some additional thoughts.
Shadowfax’s mane is a bit odd to be completely honest. I own two other 1/6 horses by mr. Z and the way the mane comes out of the neck on those feels very natural. Here it’s almost like they really want you to style...
Thanks yeah I can see about printing up a build plate! Trying to find a good pipe file to maybe make a small accessory pack! Just note these are fairly fragile so if anyone gets them just be very careful placing and removing.
Arrived to Texas today. Great figure really enjoy it. Definitely recommend steaming the outer robe to get wrinkles out. Also, I know Narya wasn’t included because the licensor but I ended up printing one, I think it looks great! Maybe one day we’ll get diecast Narya
I got mine this week. It had a few hairs in it that when removed exposed the poly stone as well as a crack at the tip of the tail. In the process of having those fixed but overall I’m very happy to own this piece.
