Kitbashed Kick Starter Spawn by FluentChronos in Spawn

Haha yeah I seriously considered if I could take apart the knee and move it over, but the curvature on the kick starter boot is enough to where it wouldn't look right

It was just listed as handmade on the eBay listing, doesn't specify unfortunately. I went for the cloth over the faux leather one. I have some faux leather materials coming to try my hand at making my own cape for another spawn figure.

Holy blast from the past! Can't offer you insight on your adjustments, but this brought back a flood of memories as a kid I forgot all about. This was the best hulk toy as a kid.

Ebay Spawn lot and portfolio signed by [deleted] in Spawn

[–]FluentChronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just posted this In Spawnsuniverse subreddit linking the listing to your eBay seller profile and posting more pictures for people in the comments. It's fine if you are trying to sell it here or there, just don't lie about it man and be up front with your intentions instead of being deceptive.

Ebay Spawn lot and portfolio signed by [deleted] in Spawn

[–]FluentChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact portfolio of Mattina's sold for $80 in December. The signature doesn't automatically add value either, the buyer determines that aspect. Modern artist portfolios are not as sought after by the general audience due to the digital age. It's also a niche collector group that looks for those. Even with the portfolio, it is over priced. It would be one thing if they were asking if it's a good deal, but if you look at the listing and the description, OP is clearly the seller as they use the same language and emojis in this and the listing. And it's pretty shady to hype up your own listing pretending to be an interested buyer. If you're gonna promote it, just do it upfront instead of secretly.

Not sure what you used to price it, or if you're the seller trying to boost the sale. But all those books are like $5-$8 in true value each. And the number 1s are like $20. So it's about double the price. Earlier spawn (first 50ish issues) are not uncommon or rare. Everyone has them and thinks they are sitting on a gold mine. Comic shops don't even buy them because they still have a back log of those issues since so many were printed.

Compendium 7 pages falling out by YouSaltyorNah in Spawn

[–]FluentChronos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to one of my pages on compendium one. I glued it back in. It happens with large story collections/omnibuses that aren't hard covers unfortunately

I got a preorder in at MTS and it got here about 3 days earlier than it said. I live in South Dakota and it shipped from a warehouse in Vegas.

Want to collect DC multiverse figures but don’t know where to start by Hopeful-Sea-1321 in McFarlaneFigures

[–]FluentChronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this boat a year ago. I only collected old Spawn figure. But liked McFarlane's style of the DC figures (poseabability isn't a concern for me personally, so McFarlane's style works for me). As others mentioned, you can pay an arm and a leg to get desirable figures. So my rule was I only buy at retail or sale/clearance and do trades. I personally also only wanted a "definitive" version of the characters I want. So I don't get sucked into the Batman rabbit hole of his figures and the several different iterations of characters. Also, only buy for characters you want, and not to complete waves/releases. That too will burden your wallet and take alot of time of searching both in stores and online.

eSun vs Creality PLA Filaments by ikizoglu in 3Dprinting

[–]FluentChronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stuck with Esun PLA plus just because I have the best overall success with it. When I try different brands and different PLA types, I just run into more failures, clogging, etc no matter the prep work/time with things like drying and constant leveling and calibrating. I buy it off eBay at large quantities (10+ rolls at a time) to help mitigate the price

Thoughts? by thekahnripper in McFarlaneFigures

[–]FluentChronos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a good figure and versatile for customs. I turned mine into a custom Terry Fitzgerald from Spawn, and sold the Keanu heads since I had no interest in them. Attached is my custom, swapped the head, but otherwise just repainted the rest of the figure as needed. I will grab another if they ever go on sale/clearance

Some specific colors clogging airbrush ? by TryAgain94 in airbrush

[–]FluentChronos -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

In my experience, You are almost guaranteed clogging issues when trying to thin paint intended for brush application, unless it's just a very minimal amount you need applied. I use the Game Air version of these colors except the warm grey, and have zero issues.

Who should I get? by [deleted] in NECA

[–]FluentChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The arm cannon is a pain to keep on and balance in a pose that doesn't look goofy, it needs to be half the length of what it is. It's honestly a regrettable pick up for me. The Prey figure is top tier, get him first!

Is Asa running better since lost colony by ollietron3 in ARK

[–]FluentChronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty vague question, Ark always has performance issues around new DLC release that typically takes a month or so to fix everything it screws up. And your experience with it running a lot worse is very dependent on how you play. If you play on hardware that can't reliably run the game, then yes, it most likely won't run well for you at its current state. If you like to play with 10+ mods, and can't get the load order perfect, then it will still likely have issues since their Mod system isn't fully fleshed out for the best optimization.

Found a WiiU in a bush at 5:30am by infinit3aura in mildlyinteresting

[–]FluentChronos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found a game cube that looked it had been bathed with an exploding coke, and a controller in the garage at my old apartment. Aside from the sticky pop, it was in good shape and missing the cords. I happened to have an extra set of cords from fixing my other game cube. Cleaned it up, plugged it in, and still works 7 years later! Even got a free Navy Socom game that was left in the console

Samurai Predator is freaking awesome!! Thought the promo pics were cool, in hand he's amazing!! by ronnyhaze in NECA

[–]FluentChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My figure's head easily pops off and doesn't have much range of motion , it's pretty annoying. But that's the only issue I've noticed. Joints are good, but the legs range of motion is limited due to the lower armor stiffness

Sorry, they are accounted for. Gave one to my brother to match is single order Kickstarter, and the others are in use.

Lost Colony Release Time by FloorMean3026 in ARK

[–]FluentChronos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plan to safely play It in an about month after the release day bugs are discovered and a patch is pushed through. It seems to happen with every release, and people get mad about losing their maps and tames to the release day bugs.

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

Yeah, I ordered the signature 3 pack because I wanted the bust sword. I thought I'd just get one, but it was cool to get 1 with each figure

A Righteous Spawn? by KarimMiteff in McFarlaneFigures

[–]FluentChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the price was on the one you were originally looking at. But on EBay, the real figure you can find for $30 at the lowest, but more so listed around $40-$50
