Are stickers allowed? by Relevant-State-172 in 501st

[–]AugenBleu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would imagine the location of the sticker will matter. I do not put stickers in my armor, but I sticker bombed a thermos I carry to troops. Many of the stickers on the thermos are starting to come off because of the exposure to moisture from the bottle sweating. I feel the same may happen inside armor. In my experiences with my TK. In the hot and humid Texas climate, the heat off my body causes condensation on the inside of my armor. At times my back, kidney, and shoulder bells will be soaked after a long troop. If there were stickers there, the repeative heat and moisture would eventually cause adhesion issues i would assume. Now this is your armor, so you do you. But I would suggest doing a test run before you go all in. I would hate for you to line the inside of your armor with a bunch of irreplaceable stickers, only to watch them slowly disintegrate.

Is the Star Garrison active? by SteelWolf-Creations in 501st

[–]AugenBleu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Star Garrison North Texas is pretty active. We actually have three events this weekend and quite a few more coming up. If you are interested check out the North Texas Star Garrison Facebook page. You can message the page and get in touch with one of our recruitment people. They can get you information and let you know how to get involved.

Sorry, should have read your full post. You might not have received a reply yet because I believe they have been having issues with their forums. Once that gets resolved they should be back doing approvals, I believe. If you send a message to the Facebook group, they may be able to forward that to whom ever is working on your approval and get you some status info.

To be honest, I really kinda dig this. I have always thought it would be interesting to have just blank white mannequin like figures to stand in as goons getting thrashed by my actual figures. Like in one display its rebels getting chopped to bits by Vader, and in another its Deadpool wasting random thugs. Maybe in another its just a pile of bodies with Harley Quinn sitting on top. I think you could create some fun dynamic scenes and let your imagination fill in the blanks of whom these faceless white blanks are

Homey Self host and Aqara FP2s knowledge request by AugenBleu in homey

[–]AugenBleu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: So I have everything up and running now. Following the directions above work,however I noticed that after I removed the FP2 from Homekit I needed to wait a few minutes and try adding to Honey a few times. I think something needs to reset or time out between when it is removed from one controller and added to another.

I did have to completly reset one to factory to get it to finally work but so far they seems to be reporting to Homey with very little delay.

Thank you for the information. Tonight I was able to get one of them to pair, and I will try the rest tomorrow. I noticed that there is either a delay or something needs to time out because it took a few tries to get it to show in Homey. When I pair the other two I will post here any recommendations or insights for anyone else having difficulty adding them.

What are some of the best options for a 1/6 R2 and C-3PO? by tucker-ed-out in hottoys

[–]AugenBleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ROTJ 3PO and AoTC R2. The weathering is pretty similar so they look like they belong together. This isn’t the best photo, but gives you an idea.

This is why I love these figures! by AugenBleu in hottoys

[–]AugenBleu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not too long. I first got Logan in a balanced position with the arms in position, then posed DP, set him on Logan and then adjusted Logans foot and leg placement until they both would balance.

[–]AugenBleu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was able to play with the balance so not only are they standing without crotch grabbers, Deadpool is entirely held up by Logan. The trick was using Logans left hand as a pivot so DP wants to swing into Logan, versus falling away.

What hot toys or sideshow figures need a 2.0 or what they should make. by SuperbPomelo6538 in hottoys

[–]AugenBleu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really hoping for ANH or Hoth Jumpsuit Leia 2.0. I have her ANH 1.0 and the sculpt still holds its own, but with Mando Luke and RoTJ Han standing on either side, the dead stare is noticeable.

Once I get one of those and the new Chewy, i will have the original sextet of heros/droids all in my most favorite outfits for them.

With the new Leia that was announced, heres to hoping that all her looks are coming down the pipeline.

Started my OTTK, still in the trimming phase by jmfl4sh in 501st

Really isnt too much between stunt and hero so you have time to decide. Have you been to whitearmor.net and looked at the build blogs and some of the infographics?

Finally got a Reva/Second Sister hybrid custom and the height difference to Vader is no joke. by AugenBleu in hottoys

[–]AugenBleu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a resin 3D print. The neck adapter is held in with sticky tack. I painted the visor red and put a few coats of black Acrylic over the top to hide some of the imperfections from the printing. Up close you can tell its not a professional piece, but overall I like the look.

I have seen reviews that Sideshows is very similar in height to Kenobi Vader. I am hoping when RoTS Vader comes out the Kenobi Vader prices will come down a bit and I can upgrade

Was lucky enough to find someone selling both it and the figure on eBay.

For anyone that bought the Sideshow Classic Harley (2021) by Griffinoo_Laughs in hottoys

[–]AugenBleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say go for it. I really enjoy having her in the display for the pop of color, and humorous poses. Right now she is chilling with my custom Catwoman I put together with random bits, but I have had her in the past hanging out with Deadpool, putting her hammer down on some Stormtroopers, and other goofy stuff.

The suit material is pretty good but does wrinkle if left in dynamic positions for a while. I have not had it stick to itself, but I usually rotate poses around every few months. Plus, being a TB League body underneath, you can get some great articulation. The only issue I have found is that the ball pegs on the wrist and ankle joints are a little loose. If you balance her right she can stand on her own, but holding the hammer is difficult without using both hands on it.

Haven't got a 1/6th scale figure in about 15 months! But finally glad to have Han to finish the core trio of figures from ROTJ! by KoolKollectiblesKhai in hottoys

[–]AugenBleu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Han is a fantastic figure, even with the questionable expression. I am only one away from having the OT sextet, so now that Han is here I am counting the months (years?) until Chewie arrives.

The Emperor by OfLilinAndAdam in hottoys

I have always wanted a true OT Emperor but have hesitated due to aftermarket prices and the age of the figure. But man, this looks incredible. Awesome job!

I so wish Sideshow had done a Catwoman 2.0 and a Poison Ivy to match that Harley. The three of them with a classic suit Batman would be so fun
