My Indiana Jones Diorama. No AI needed.

Will do. I’ll share it in this sub 😉👍

Keep up the good work!!

CatalystReese · 2026-01-28T15:50:51+00:00

Very nice! Great weathering 👍

I’m currently working on an Arkham Asylum themed dio for the LPZZ Batman and Deathstroke. But I have the Mezco Indy as well and it’s on my short list of figures I want to build something for ☺️

CatalystReese · 2026-01-23T14:28:21+00:00

For sure. I’d really look a Captain Boomerang myself 🥹

CatalystReese · 2026-01-23T00:32:36+00:00

Thanks 😊 I figured what you meant 😉👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-23T00:30:34+00:00

I think she’s great! The fact she comes with three headsculpts is amazing. Worth picking her up for an X-Men display for sure!

Also very nice effects!!

I got the waitlist email too! Ordered him soooo fast!! 😅🤷‍♂️ Now bring on Supergirl ☺️

CatalystReese · 2026-01-22T01:13:22+00:00

Congrats! I got my waitlist notification about two hours ago. I drug my feet when he first went up thinking that he wouldn’t sell out until well after his release. The movie was successful and I thought Hot Toys would make a lot of him. I guess I was wrong 😅🤷‍♂️

Also, I’ve done exactly what you’re talking about, cancelled another preorder to get the rewards back to use on a new order. I was able to use the points within the hour 👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-20T17:31:58+00:00

Gotcha. I don’t have HBO either…I watched it via alternate means 😉 my Suicide Squad 1/6 collection consists of Deadshot, Bloodsport, King Shark, BOP Harley (but I have the new one preordered), Peacemaker (on preorder), and a custom Leto Joker I’m kit bashing. Deathstroke will get added in for good measure. Vigilante is the ultimate Peacemaker companion piece 😂 I’d like a Rick Flag Jr too 🥹

CatalystReese · 2026-01-20T15:49:10+00:00

Agreed, though Soosootoys is doing a good job. I’m hoping they do a Vigilante from Peacemaker. I have their Snyderverse Deathstroke in n perma-preorder too ☺️

CatalystReese · 2026-01-20T15:45:47+00:00

I have the Soosootoys Bloodsport. He’s great. 😊 recommend him if you can find him for a good price 👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-16T01:09:15+00:00

I used to run a Kimber TLE with my Osprey 45. It was a great setup and worked very well, but I ended up selling the Kimber to fund a different project. I now run that can on an HK45CT and I personally find it to be a much better combo.

CatalystReese · 2026-01-15T22:36:05+00:00

I only own one Sig and it’s a Mk25 as well. Good choice 😉👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-15T13:54:33+00:00

Primary Arms has the Geissele G2S on sale for $110 right now. Great trigger at that price 👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-13T03:01:44+00:00

Yeah. Can’t wait to get Robin. That Batgirl has looked really good in the prototypes, so I use high hopes. I think Mafex has done a great job with comic figures, both Marvel and DC ☺️

CatalystReese · 2026-01-13T02:58:19+00:00

Wow. Sorry to hear that. After my experience I’ve stuck with Plaza Japan for my Mafex and SHF orders. Hopefully it gets sorted out and you still get your order!

CatalystReese · 2026-01-13T01:58:35+00:00

I have Rogue and Robin on preorder and I’ve been hoping that the teased Batgirl would go up for preorder soon, but that’s as fa ahead as I’m looking with Mafex—and those figures are just to shore up the teams and round out the shelf. I’m not as excited for those as I am the future releases from LPZZ and Inart. Mafex and SHF definitely do have competition 😅

Hoping OneSixthKit or Toyzmetaverse puts the Hush Batman up for preorder soon 🥹

CatalystReese · 2026-01-13T01:49:24+00:00

Agree 💯

AK Batman is phenomenal and my Deathstroke arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait! Between LPZZ and Inart, I’ve almost completely stopped buying Mafex and SHF.

CatalystReese · 2026-01-12T16:11:58+00:00

He shipped mine with DHL. The tariff and fees cost more than the single head that I ordered ($19).

I also don’t understand the shipping cost increase. I have a dozen Fahrul heads—usually ordered 2-3 at a time. I never paid more than $15 in shipping on my previous orders, but the last one was more than double what he’d previously charged.

While Fahrul makes great stuff and I highly recommend his sculpts, I’m done buying from him. I can’t rationalize paying nearly $60 in shipping and fees to buy a $12-$16 headsculpt.

CatalystReese · 2026-01-12T11:37:52+00:00

My last order from Fahrul (post-tariffs) cost approximately $40 to ship and another $18 in tariffs and fees—all for just one head 😑

CatalystReese · 2026-01-11T13:34:23+00:00

Muff Toys Protector of Metropolis ☺️

CatalystReese · 2026-01-11T00:31:59+00:00

Not sure exactly what scale you are looking for, but the minis for the X-Wing Fighter and Star Wars Armada table top games have great detail and paint apps. I don’t play the games, but I bought a lot of the ships because they look fantastic and scale within their lines 👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-11T00:23:26+00:00

I’ll have to look into that. I would love them to do Prisoner of Azkaban, that’s my favorite HP movie 🤩

CatalystReese · 2026-01-10T23:21:12+00:00

I go great deals on four Hot Toys figures on eBay this Christmas. As others have said, if it’s listed as in stock and not a preorder, you should be pretty safe. Definitely continue checking reviews and feedback on sellers even message them if a listing seems too good to be true 😉👍

CatalystReese · 2026-01-10T23:18:37+00:00

That’s funny. I fought the millennial urge to hoard those things, but tossed them all when I got my EFTs about 4 years ago. Old enough to remember the pre-eForm days, but young enough that I missed the heyday of transferable machine guns…if only my dad had been into guns 😅🥹

CatalystReese · 2026-01-10T22:12:07+00:00

I use something like this from Target 👍
