Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
We have a smart house that uses the Z-Wave protocol.
The lights, outlets, fans, thermostats, door locks, garage door openers, security / fire detection system and pool pump can all be controlled remotely.
I use Homeseer software and my computer acts like the main server and my wife's lap top is a back up server.
We can control it from any computer, tablet or smart phone that I download the software to.
You can control each device individually or you can set up events like “Watch a movie” or “Christmas Night” and several devices operate simultaneously.
It’s a pretty cool system but you have to be able to do the work yourself unless you make a TON of money.
Lowes sells a generic system called Iris and it is Z-Wave based so I can buy devices from that system for use in ours and they ae actually cheaper then the online sources
If you want to discuss this more I can start a thread in the off topic forum.

Oh cool. I thought maybe it was some wifi outlet or something. When I was trying to google how you could do it, I found wifi light bulbs. They were $100 each, so ridiculous

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
Hi guys! Need your help newbie question... I just bought a set of 4 Hall of Armor from Hot Toys. How do I place my War Machine 2 diecast on the Hall of Armor? Can I put the figure without the stand and hook? Will it hold? Is there a lock on the base of the Hall of Armor?
Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
That is an ambiguous question. It may never fall but I wouldn't take the chance

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
All you'd need to do is duct tape(With a *small* piece of duct tape) a magnet on the back of the figure, then also put a magnet on the back of the hall of armour where it would connect with the other magnet, holding the figure up.

I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable with placing duct tape on the figure, it may have a negative effect on the paint later on.

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
That's not how duct tape works. The only thing that *could* happen is that the duct tape could leave some of it's adhesive behind when you peel it off. And even then, it just peels off.

Re: Hot Toys “Straight/ No Radius” Hall of Armor Project
Until I have enough Armors to fill all 13 bays of our HOA Display I decided to disply other figures in it.
Recently I picked up a Captain America and I think he looks great in the Bay
I'm going to get the Winter Soldier and I would not have a problem displaying a Batman or Superman in it as well.
Most people that see this display have no idea of what the bays represent so to them is just a bunch of figures in a cool display.

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
Very nice! I am impressed with Cap in there. He looks small compared to the armours!

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
13 bays fit across the top of our entertainment cabinet. Originally I was only going to worry about filling them but then Hot Toys came out with the HPP Wine Cellar Bays.
I'm going to eventually build a new display that uses 7 factory bays with the radius and 14 Wine Cellar Bays.
The 13 Bay straight line display will remain in our theater room and I will use it to transition figures to the new display I'm going to building our hobby / shipping room.

Well that is the TFA Cap, he's a lot smaller compared to the other caps

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
Only if you keep him on the short pegs. With longer pegs, he's closer to the height of the others.

Re: Hot Toys Custom Hall of Armor Projects
If I remember correctly, the TFA Cap figure originally came with the normal sized pegs which makes him look a bit smaller, but HT also included a longer set in the box that made him taller.
