RAH Boba Fett at Sideshow

[The Chaver]

Then you need to stop doing it yourself. You're one of the worst at doing it so take some of your own advice would ya. Medicom makes high end 1:6th as does SS to say otherwise is nothing more than absolute ignorance of the situation. The comments you've made of SS figures are your opinion and carry no more weight than anyone else here.

He can't knock Medicom cause he got a dud but its ok for you or others to knock SS cause you feel you got a dud or two?

You Medicom folks crack me up. Bunch of hypocrites.

I never got a dud dude,so that was never an issue for me with SS 12",Just the lack of quality and main characters.

I dont make Medicom/SS comparisons because most of us know you cant compare the 2.Thats like comparing a dog to a cat. If you still think that SS Medicom are the same in comparison then you really are a SUPERFAN.

P.S. Oh and was the comparison part the only thing you could pick apart in my last post Mr. josh

 

[The Josh]

Nah I just got bored picking apart your post. I try not to pick on the slow kids.

I too had some problems with this figure coming out of the box with the velcro, shoulder pads, helmet etc. I altered most of the things I found wrong with this figure. I lowered the jetpack, shoulder bells, collar piece, repainted the silver battle damage and repositioned the helmet as well. Seems like a lot to do for a $150 figure. But instead of complaining about the imperfections, i fixed them. Maybe this will give you guys some ideas in adjusting some of those imperfections.

With lowered jetpack:

Adjusted collar piece inspired by Scoobacca. Cut collar out and turned it around so velcro is in back.

Repainted helmet with adjusted shoulder armor.

Group shot with my other custom Medicom clones

With custom display stand and a Hasbro Han Carbonite block

Ryan, is that one of those fish tank units you're using for the grated floor?

 

[Ryan1982]

MaulFan, the grated floor is actually an outdoor drainage cover I bought a Lowe's hardware store. Just spraypainted it black and added light.

Thanks, what kind of light unit is that? I've been investigating lighting equipment ideal for shooting photos of theses figures, that seems like a nice one you have under the flooring.

Dont come crying and knockin Medicom just because you got a dud

I will agree that Medicoms armored figs are the best around. However, you can't honestly tell me that their Luke is better in sculpt and paint better than Sideshow's. You just can't. If you do than I would suggest a doctor.

I just used a lamp/ desklight that I covered with an orange colored napkin. I had to hold it under the hole in the drainage piece to take the photo. I was thinking about getting one of those push lights/ dome lights (not sure exactly what they are called) or some sort of fishtank light with a red bulb.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm exploring LED options out there, the quality is nice and the low temperatures are good too.

Josh josh,so now you've resorted to calling me slow.

I never said what you where slow at.

P.S you gotta love these figure's

Those stands are beautiful.

 

[Shropt]

Those stands are beautiful.

 

[The Josh]

Those stands are beautiful.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Smudger9]

Those stands are beautiful.

I'm just surprised they are there. Medicom figures dont usually require stands in order the get the figure to stay upright.

Neither do Sideshow figures, but why run the risk of figures falling off shelves and such when you can drop them onto a stand, takes nothing to rattle furniture and cause a tragedy.

 

[Mobeill]

I like my Boba, and I can't wait for his daddy to come!

 

[Yoda23]

Do you have any SS 12 inch figures like Han,Darth Maul,etc. so I could see how tall they would be standing next to these Medicom figures?

 

[The Chaver]

Yes I'll say it,Medicom has sh%# stands,so there,you happy now. But you know what,I pay $150 for the figure and that's what I get an awesome figure not half a figure and "beautiful" stand.

No, you get 11/12 of a beautiful figure and a ****ty stand.
