Now that school is over I've had time to get to some custom figures that have been on the backburner for far too long. These are figures I always dreamed of owning as a kid but I didn't have the skills or tools to make them then. The first figure is Kyle Katarn from the original Dark Forces. He...

Idle Hands: Toy Fair 2016: McFarlane Toys Redcap Collection with Assassin's Creed Movie, Attack on Titan, Spawn and More I don't frequent this area of SSF so my apologies if this has been posted. Looks like yet another company will be taking a crack at Commander Shepard. So far all the statues...

I can't seem to connect to the internet on my Nintendo Wii. Is all network capability and support for the original Wii console gone or do you think it's just too far away from my router? We used to stream Netflix all the time in its current location and I even downloaded Mario 64 a couple years...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jakeparker/skyheart-book-i-the-star-seed Thought I'd share this. I followed this guy's concept and pre-production art on his FB page during Inktober. It looks like a fusion of a lot of familiar styles and tropes. But still cool. This is the first thing I've...

Is there such a product that can be used to repaint plastic that is also tough enough to let kids play with the item without paint chipping or cracking? Krylon Fusion advertises itself as adhering to plastics without chipping or cracking but does that include items being played with? I have an...

Perhaps this isn't the community to ask but it's the only place I'm registered that discusses GI Joe. I took possession of my dad's GI Joe Collection from the 90s-00s. I'm selling most of it off for him but am keeping the Adventure Team guys for myself and when my son grows up. I was wondering...

https://youtu.be/lDLM-dXP-KE This is actually pretty cool. I have heard of the prequels being recut to make "better movies" but even with tighter editing and the fat trimmed, you're still left with some horrid dialogue and the same storyline originally presented by Lucas. Using the Japanese dub...

I know it wasn't the most popular of movies on this board, but I loved Snow White and the Huntsman. Prequel with Hemsworth and Charlize returning. Frank Darabont set to direct. The best part? Kristen Stewart will not be in it. Can't wait...

Most spin-offs, like most movie sequels, have bad reputations. But there are some spin-offs, just as there are some movie sequels, that are not only as good as the predecessor but sometimes better. Name your favorite spin-offs here! 1) Frasier - I would argue this is the best spin-off ever. Way...

I never owned any Joes that I know of so am not sure how they're constructed. Am I right in assuming that heads from the vintage GI Joe line would be compatible with the bodies of vintage Star Wars figures using the simple boil and pop method? I am interested in creating a custom Kyle Katarn in...

I'm slowly getting out of the collecting game. I'm not going to make a melodramatic post about it and sell off my collection. In fact, I love my collections that I have on display and am still tracking a few pieces down here and there to complete them all. But there is definitely a light at the...

Anyone heard of or shipped online with them before? Found a good deal on some upcoming products but I've never heard of them and wanted to see what the verdict is with Freaks. I can't seem to find if they charge on preorders at the time the order is made, of there's a NRD, or if I won't be...

I bought a pair of sunglasses that have yellow lenses but I'd like them to be a darker red/orange. Any tips on how to pull that off? Would getting some red Tamiya paint and putting that on top of the yellow plastic make the lenses orange? I'm pretty sure the plastic was cast in this yellow color...

My criteria for this list is the show has to have concluded and you have to enjoy every season of the show's run. As we're well aware, a bad conclusion to a story can ruin the whole thing. Seinfeld Avatar: The Last Airbender Breaking Bad I Love Lucy Arrested Development There are actually a...

Finally got around to getting my Indy collection from storage at my parents' house. Set them up this weekend. I just got the ToD Hasbro figures off eBay for $25 shipped! Awesome deal. So happy to own a Mola Ram and Shorty. I never had a Vogel or Elsa and plan on getting them one day to stick...

Not sure how many of you here collected the Toy Biz figures. I know the high end stuff is more popular at SSF but I don't have the space or money for those. I would like to start a collection with LotR figures but I found the line to be somewhat inconsistent in quality from what I remember when...

Hypothetical scenario. This goes in line with the downsizing of large collections. It could be a want list for those with smaller collections. Essentially you're stranded on a deserted island. You have a display unit inside your hut. The hut keeps you dry and cool. The humidity level is nothing...

Anyone recognize this head? I am not even sure if it's a Hasbro Star Wars figure but perhaps someone could help regardless. I would love to use for a custom. Thanks...

I did a quick search on this topic but didn't find anything. Not sure if you guys are into this sort of thing but does anyone know a place to get custom lightsabers built? Any idea how much that'd cost? There's a particular lightsaber I see on eBay I found by accident that I've always wanted to...

This isn't directly related to movies, but it seems relevant to inquire here for ideas. I am looking for a home for my Harmy Despecialized Star Wars discs. Right now they're in little paper sleeves. I'd like some Bluray cases for them because they're sexier than DVD cases. Does anyone have an...
