PREMIER TOYS 1/6 Leader of Marauders (The Humungus)

[Wor-Gar]

Wish he explained better how to get the 'outfit' onto the M35. Seems like you need to separate a strap or two to get it on.

Also, coring the socket so the leg pegs will fit seems like a risky proposition.

Regarding the bullets, I also noticed the very first picture from ebay breakdown had a fully laden case of bullets as well. So it isn't just me.

So it did.

Didn't notice that, but since then I've been counting.

I'll be curious to see this other body you mentioned, if it works.

May be not worth trying. It's shorter, which would be more accurate. Has simpler shoulder joints and no split across the torso, but the thighs aren't as muscular as they should be.

It was too big for a Carthaginian mercenary and everything else so far. Humungus is the first possible use for it, but it's likely no better than the stock one. The shoulders have their own kind of ugly

This is the body:

My case has missing bullets, so you never know when you open it

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, that body appears too doll like.

I still haven't decided if I'm going to do the conversion. First, I need to get my figure looking like everyone else's here. I suppose if, while I'm working, the gear just starts to fall off, I'll do the swap.

I really hope those "leather" straps don't deteriorate in a few years like so many Hot Toys pleather items. I'm not in a humid environment and usually don't have the issues others do, but a Stromtrooper holster, Indy's bag strap and the T-800's leather jacket have all disintegrated on me, and Premier ain't HT.

That's what I've been seeing in photos and videos.

It was impossible to say how many there should be from the promo picture...

35 is the way to go, but need to pump the breaks on my spending spree for a bit Wish I already had one

Just all depends on who was working that day and who didn’t follow instructions

 

[Asta]

Yeah, that body appears too doll like.

I don't think it's worth trying. Even if I did use it I'd have Humungus' even more awkward body to find a use for instead.

I noticed a couple of disintegrating pleather items yesterday: the belt and straps on an old ACI gladiator, and the handle on an old DID brief case. Both spent their early lives in uncontrolled environments so I'm surprised they lasted this long.

Not bothered about the gladiator as the arms faded shortly after I got him, so he's looked off for years. If he falls apart it's a good excuse to break him down.

Looks good, Asta. Are you going to go M35...? I really don't want to spend another $90 on this figure but for an exposed body it does make the figure.

Quality control is certainly at a loss at Premier. Missing buttons. The random nature of the "hairing" on the head -- mine has a bundle of hair tucked inbetween the neck-brace and head strap. The bullets in the case -- mine had a full compliment of bullets in every row but I see others missing a row or more (in the movie I think the case had only 4-6 bullets left). No photo in the case. Again, mine has the whole cod piece hip-wear shifted oddly to one side. A figure like this should be ready to display right out of the box but in my case, I really need to redress him (hence considering the body swap while I'm at it).

I think your going to have to bite the bullet and buy a Phicen, fortunately I had a spare one, well I was using it as my entry Terminator figure.
I think the M35 resembles Humungo's Physique fairly well.

Just some fun pics

 

[Wor-Gar]

Did you darken the Phicen body shells?

 

[kam veitch]

Now I am going to work on other projects, will get back to them..I finished with the dio for now too.

 

[Anthrapoid]

@Anthrapoid I sent you an email to get the photo in high resolution, in anticipation to Humungus arrival.

Should be something like this...........

I didn't receive your email as far as I can see. Try again, and put "HUMUNGUS PHOTO" in the title. I'll search my spam folder.

No, I think its just the lighting.

Are you making that photo for the gun case available?

 

[SWFAN1000]

So, it looks as if nobody received the black and white pic shown in the promo photos?

No photo for me

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Adding the little picture for my gun case to the list. Gonna need to print one I guess.

M35 body swap and lowering the head, repaint the mask is a must.

As for the missing bullets, Maybe Bullet Farmer’s got them …

 

[kam veitch]

My friend unmasked him

Not what I expected.

Looks like Captain Kirk had one too many in the bar, and Scotty and Bones thought it'd be funny to shave his hair off.
