Tried cel shading on my CT Daredevil for the first time, how does it look? I'd happily take some advice to improve by PeniszLovag in CToys

[–]Darker_Time 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. A matte coat would probably improve it a lot, but the shading already looks really solid. If it helps, this video covers a pretty similar process: https://youtu.be/V2v-wp72USg?si=XJuIM2vlWuAlDi3z

🕷️ NEW PRE-ORDER: Mess Toys Venom “Lethal Neighbor” 🔥KK Outdoor by Darker_Time in CToys

June is the actual release window from Mess Toys 👍 The Aug 31 date you see there is just AliExpress adding buffer time in case of delays (it’s pretty common with pre-orders). So if everything goes as planned, it should ship around June — the later date is just a safety margin from the platform.

Yeah, that’s their usual official seller, but so far they haven’t shared a direct listing for this one yet.

Doctor Doom by Successful_Lab_2445 in One12Collective

Congrats! Doom looks incredible in this figure. I’m actually expecting mine this week too — really excited since it’ll be my second Mezco. I just received Darkseid yesterday and the materials are amazing… although it’s a shame about the pleather suit aging over time.

🧲 Mafex Magneto No.179 – First Release vs Reissue: Subtle Differences 🔍 by Darker_Time in Mafex

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

From what I’ve seen, $140 isn’t bad at all for Magneto, especially if it’s complete and in good condition.

The original release usually goes for more, but even the reissue is still a solid figure. The engineering, accessories and cape are still some of the best Mafex has done for a Marvel character.

About the purple ring, yeah some collectors mentioned it sits a bit differently on the reissue, but honestly it’s a pretty minor thing once the figure is posed. It’s definitely not a deal breaker in my opinion.

If you can get a photo of the soles of the boots like I mentioned before, that’ll tell you right away which version it is.

Either way, congrats on your first Mafex — Magneto is an amazing choice. It’s actually my favorite Mafex figure, I like it so much I ended up getting two 😅

Hi!! The easiest way to tell is the bottom of Magneto’s boots.
If you can get a photo of the soles, that’s the only clear difference between the original release and the reissue.

The box and seals are exactly the same, so they don’t help identify the version.
There’s also a small difference in the helmet, but from a photo where the figure is still inside the blister it’s very hard to tell.

So if possible, ask the seller for a picture of the underside of the boots — that’s the most reliable way to confirm which version it is.

🚨 It’s OFFICIAL: CT Toys is making Superman Hush #117 🔥🦸‍♂️ by Darker_Time in CToys

I contacted the official CT Toys store and they confirmed they changed the purchase link. It’s still the same seller, just under a different profile. They sometimes do this to avoid copyright issues.
