    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS664-D48 - Iron Man - Iron Man Mark 3 (2.0 For Real This Time!)

    I can't say I agree. See comparison between the ILM test video and the model. There is clearly a ridge in the middle at the top. The gold painted studs while not accurate are most certainly meant to be the front. In addition the gold studs are always facing forward with the other diecast...

    There's only one pin which the sholder cannons use to swivel. Posted earlier

    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS664-D48 - Iron Man - Iron Man Mark 3 (2.0 For Real This Time!)

    Done See one of my earlier photos did it with the previous diecast mark 3 which as far as I'm aware is the same.mould just with the rivets in the armour. Sizewise should be identical.

    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS664-D48 - Iron Man - Iron Man Mark 3 (2.0 For Real This Time!)

    Pretty much what I did. I had a small screwdriver head I use for electronics. Pushed out both pins, corrected it and pushed the pins back in. Just becareful as if you use something sharp it could scratch the paint. *edit* forgot to mention when putting the pins back once you get half way in...

    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS664-D48 - Iron Man - Iron Man Mark 3 (2.0 For Real This Time!)

    Got mine. First thing I did was correct the sholder cannons to be the right way around. As per Justins review they were assembled incorrectly. Easy fix. I'm quite impressed with this, massive upgrade from the previous diecast version, not perfect but i'm happy to replace my old with the new.

    1/6 Hot Toys - Robocop 3 - Robocop Collectible Figure.

    No direct from HK, ordering form the US costs too much in import fees and I have to wait longer Well some photos right out of the box natural lighting. Certainly has a blue and purple look to it. *edit took some more with my room lights on. Also included some of the joints to answer any...

    1/6 Hot Toys - DX23 - The Mandalorian: Luke Skywalker (DELUXE VERSION)

    Decided to try another little mod considering the lightsaber will be spending 99% of it's time unlit. I ordered some acrylic rods and sanded it down a little and polished it at the ends to give it the lightsaber tip. It is a bit thicker than the original but at least I can tell it's a green...

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS044 - The Mandalorian: The Armorer (2021 Toy Fair Exclusive)

    I just used a cheap unbranded body since I only wanted better arms. Used this1/6 Scale Female Body Figure Toy Normal Skin for TTM18 TTM19 Small Breast Bust | eBay I only had to use a little plumbers tape to wrap around the arms ball joint to get a firmer fit. There may be better bodies out...

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS044 - The Mandalorian: The Armorer (2021 Toy Fair Exclusive)

    My armourer arm broke when posing. Barely moved it, just shows how rubbish this body is. The arms bugged me more than anything so it forced me to part out the arm. Posing is much easier and improved. Plus don't have to worry about replacing the entire body. Annoying it broke but kinda glad it...

    1/6 Hot Toys - DX23 - The Mandalorian: Luke Skywalker (DELUXE VERSION)

    I'm not sure if this has already been posted but felt I should share a small mod I did. I was concerned about how thin the ankles were on Lukes boots. I felt they bunched up too much due to how thin they are and felt this may contribute to flaking of the pleather in the long term. I added a...

    Hot Toys - TMS051/2 - Mandalorian and Grogu (Season 2)

    I honestly think it's the safest method, I did mine in an evening about 4 hours or so. I just took my time. I'd recommend some latex gloves, the cod cape is a little oily. Honestly the chrome is so reflective it's hard for it not to capture me taking a photo , I do prefer it clean. Like any...

    Hot Toys - TMS051/2 - Mandalorian and Grogu (Season 2)

    Well guess the answer to that is a personal preference. Chemical removal vs rubbing off the weathering gradually. I picked the one where I could control the removal process more gradually because why rush it? Cape cod cloth all the way for me. There is at least two of us here that have used...
