    Looking to get into building my own Dioramas, looking for suggestions

    Hello all, I've never attempted anything like this before. I purchased a Styrofoam dio from someone on Facebook. Its super nice, but I was thinking maybe I could do something like this, but I have no idea where to start. Are there any good "How to's" on this subject for idiots? :)

    Mafex ROTJ Boba Fett: How to get replacement part?

    Hello all, I purchased my BF off of CDJapan. I emailed their customer service 2-3 days ago, still no response. The part of Boba's helmet that holds his rangefinder in place is missing. I am usually pretty careful with my figures but I can accept that I lost it. Regardless, I need that piece. I'm...

    Does anyone sell civilian 1:12 figures?

    Probably an odd question, but does any company sell "regular" 1:12 scale people? I have an idea I want to try but I can't make it work without supporting characters and civilian attire.

    What do you guys store your Legends/Figuarts pieces in?

    I don't want to go through boxes of boxes to find hands/heads/effects every time I want to change them around. Is there an easily accessible way to store those pieces?

    Hulkbuster BAF repaint?

    Hello all, I am thinking about picking up the Legends Hulkbuster BAF somewhere. I think the sculpt on it looks pretty solid (from what I can see) but the paint apps make it look like a "toy" (yes, I know, it is, but, you know what I mean... lol). It seems like it shouldn't be a large job to...

    Need a hand, display not coming together like I wanted (1:10, 1:12)

    Ok, in November I decided to really throw myself all the way in to the toy collecting world, after having dabbled in it my entire life. Along with all of my toy acquisitions, I also purchased 5 detolfs and a Besta TV stand. One of the detolfs is upstairs with my Hot Toys and the remaining 4...

    Took some pics of my HTs

    Took some pictures yesterday of my (small) Hot Toy collection and then played around with them on my phone. Thought maybe it would amuse some of you guys. Here are the before and after pics: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk and clumsy fingers.

    Did they make a Sinestro for the Blackest Night line?

    I really liked that story line and I have every other color of the spectrum from that line (and thus, the 1:10 scale) except for Sinestro. I have a green lantern Sinestro in that scale but not in his yellow lantern uniform. What's odd is that on the back of my Star Sapphire package, it shows...

    How do I make Detolf back mirrored?

    With the ol' income tax returns, I will be getting several detolfs and a Besta TV stand. Is it possible to make the backs of the detolfs mirrored? I ask because A) I think it looks snazzy and B) Because the only space I have to display my collection is in my basement, which is a cement block...

    Can anyone explain these scales to me?

    Took some pics yesterday. For two reasons, one because I am trying to understand things a little better and two, because I did things butt backwards and instead of getting a place to display my figures, I got the figures first. Now I am reluctant to get them out of their boxes and risk losing...

    Do you guys use detolfs for your 1:10 and 1:12 figures?

    Just wondering. I am hoping my income tax will be able to get a nice set up going. However, for all of the really beautiful displays I see here, the vast majority of them are for HTs. I only have 4 HTs (I will buy more eventually, but I want to focus on getting a decent place to put them) So my...

    Cheapest way to display collection nicely?

    Ugh, frustrated right now. I have some nice stuff but I don't want to put it out until I can protect it from dust. Spent last Sunday cleaning a ton of figures that were covered with dust prior to my divorce. I just opened up a teeny tiny 2 step case that was "snap together." It's just like the...

    What do you use to light your displays?

    Quick question (hopefully): what do you guys use to light up your collections? I bought a couple shelving units, open back, 5 shelves. My goal is to get the stuff under some kind of acrylic display case to avoid dust and I'd like to light them. I am hoping to find lights that will run on...

    What other toy lines are in scale with the new Icon line?

    In the past, my Marvel legends and DC figures were all in scale with each other, which was killer! Who wouldn't want Batman and Captain America to be standing tall beside each other. Then the New 52 line hit and they towered over all of my other figures in a ridiculous fashion. Now I am seeing...

    Hello, Happy New Years and thanks for all the fish! (dumb new guy intros/questions)

    Anyway, that's my odd way of saying "hi." I've been on the forum for a little bit but have posted almost nothing and I realized I've never introduced myself. I am a life time comic collector and I've dabbled in toy collecting for about 25 years. My interests are Marvel, DC, Star Wars/Trek and...

    DC Icons scale question

    Hello all, can anyone tell me if the new DC Icons figures are the same size as the New 52 line or if they are the size the figures were prior? I used to love that the DC and Marvel legends figures were all in scale. I'm OCD about that stuff. Stupid, I know. Anyway, I liked the New 52 line but my...

    Hello all!

    New guy here! I was searching for "how to display my hot toys figures" and it led me to a forum that in turn led me here. I went to mid-Ohio comic con this year after coming across the HT Adam West figure online, and really liked their product. At the con, for my birthday, my GF bought me the...
