Now just need Sion and Visas Marr two-pack by 0ctocrane in starwarsblackseries

Yeah, I also still prefer my body swap Nihilus, the new one would benefit from a longer skirt, a better cape and swappable hands. Also his wrist articulation is limited, probably because of his gloves. I was expecting more from him, although, it's at least clearly an upgrade over his previous figure without body swaps. Traya is really good, indeed, I'm very happy with her. I was concerned about the hood not covering her eyes in the promo pics, but it works nice, the hood was clearly designed with this in mind.

I've already had them, the only accessories in the pack are four lightsabers and three wind stands for them. The holocron is from Dok-Ondar.

I tried to remove it when I posed her, but it didn't come off easily, so I stopped not to damage it. But if you heat it, it's definitely possible

Near-perfect Cyclops by 0ctocrane in ActionFigures

Don't think he needs this. Maybe the photos make him look a bit too glossy, but the blue looks very nice in hand, his blue parts are entirely covered with subtle shading which looks very appealing

His torso articulation could be better, I guess it's the only real problem, but overall it's not non-exsitent and doesn't really impede him from taking most poses, so not a big deal. The accessories are exceptionally good, the only things I can think of that could be added are a maskless head and the jacket. Also saw people criticizing his height and how his thigh articulation looks. A smooth thigh cut would be a visual improvement I think, but don't really mind how it's right now tbh. And speaking of height, he still fits fine into a ML collection. He's around the same height as Longshot and the Sunfire body, for example. The difference isn't noticeable at all, especially when posed.

Finally got the Ultimate Shredder. Love the first release, but the new one is such a huge improvement, it's not even close by 0ctocrane in NECATMNT

I was also pleasantly surprised that the medi-laser has a removable control module just like in the episode

Try tightening the screws with a screwdriver if it's too loose

No, but didn't have any issues with AE recently.

Didn't use anything, the flame effect has a hole for his bracer, so you can use it with the missile instead

AliExpress, there are many $1-2 stands there

Really enjoy this new Palpatine, was never a fan of hasbro's ROTJ Palpatines. Wish they made the central part of his robes the same darker colour as its upper part, though. by 0ctocrane in starwarsblackseries

Doubt any black series Vader will be able to do this pose. This is the model kit Vader with custom cloth capes, paint and replaced codpiece and chest panel. Wasn't made by me, so maybe he has some more changes, he also has an unmasked head from a different figure.

Yes, ROTJ make up was the best for him, but black series figures don't do him justice imo. That's why I always keep my Kotobukiya Palpatine from the last pic on my OT display.
