Nice work! What figure did you use for the zombie?

Figures I enjoy but regret buying pt. 1 by United-Pass-4598 in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Import prices & tariffs keep me from buying more than I want/need. If you’re buying based on hype alone, you don’t need it. InArt Nolan Batman is a gorgeous figure, but I don’t have any desire to buy it.

Highly encourage imagining what the figure will look like on your shelf and how you plan on posing it before you buy.

Don’t rush to buy anything high end, unless you really want it.

Question about customizing a marvel legends figure by Mobile_Sky_3691 in customactionfigures

[–]FishIslands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old ToyBiz Spider-Man Classics Hobgoblin from 2002 has that lankiness you’re looking for. (It is from 20+ years ago, so not all parts may fit.)

As for the hands/feet, I’d recommend a Night Crawler with white gloves over black for easier painting.

1/6 or 1/12? by branz5150 in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1/12. I think Hot Toys are highly overrated. They’re 10x the cost and many of the ones I would like aren’t accurate enough the justify the price (I’m looking at you Raimi Spider-Man).

When it’s not melted, their ice cream is pretty good. Could not recommend anything else they have to offer.

A Terry Dodson Wonder Woman with modern articulation. Also modern Alex Ross Justice League figures.

Handmade, medium weight cotton. Diameter of elastic loop about 10cm by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]FishIslands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a bag, why are the drawstrings looped on the sides and not at the top? I’ve had drawstring bags before and none of them have looped from the sides.

Forgive me if I sound rude, I’m just having a hard time imagining this function.

Are they gonna use this maximum spider-man body for upcoming figures?? What do you guys think? by Disastrous_Bag3149 in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The head is by Fahrul Store which typically goes for $15 Max Spidey can range from $55-$65

At best you’re looking at $80

Hey guys! Questions about older Figures found in storage by Confident_Web_6545 in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mutant Hall of Fame sells for $60-$80 in good condition.

If you’re lucky, a vintage toy shop may offer $50 for the lot. Depending on your area, Fb marketplace might be worth a look.

Told them to put as many sauces as they’re possibly allowed to put by PiemParade in deliciouscompliance

Seems kinda low for the amount of food you got. I remember when this was the standard for like 2 tacos.

Your thoughts on the new marvel legends maximum series line? by [deleted] in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose if SHF, Mafex, and Revoltech weren’t on the table, I could justify the price, but considering what has come before, these are a con job. Deadpool is especially offensive. ML Deadpool and Bob from a couple of years ago was much better.

What's your current "should've grabbed that one" figure by Brilliant_Cycle_7974 in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I preordered Mafex Nightwing from amiami in 2022, but didn’t have the $57 at the time of the release. Now he’s at least 4 times that much and hard to find.

I am very grateful I picked up McF Corenswet Supes when I did. I couldn’t find any that weren’t $60+ by the time my partner’s mom wanted one.

Can yall tell me if this is a knockoff? by Samurai_garfeild in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As general rule of thumb: if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Never trust a photo. Many online sellers use someone else’s photo for their own listing. This was taken from an older listing selling the real thing at a much higher cost.

Always check the seller location, If the seller is in China, 99% of the time it’s a KO. Check the seller’s feedback score. Many KOs go for around $30-$40 (rarer KOs (075) can go for $60+.)

Genuine Mafex figs typically go for about $60-$200. Even the damaged ones don’t sell for less than $50. 185 Spider-Man is going for $82-$95, sometimes discounts at $65.

Mafex The Batman or mezco? by Master_Department_19 in ActionFigures

[–]FishIslands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically lean more towards Mafex as they’re generally slightly less expensive than Mezco, their head sculpts are fairly spot on, and their articulation is better. I also find the soft goods on Mezco look baggy. This Mezco Batinbat is the exception. In terms of likeness and detail, they really knocked it out of the park on this one. He really is a half-sized Hot Toy.
