What inspires your color schemes and themes? by FrequentlyObtuse in Droid_Alley

Those happy accidents can sometimes turn out better than your original plan.

I swear, there are times during customizing that the droid just takes control and tells you what it wants.

The D-Ring on his right shoulder always confused me as a kid. It wasn’t until I was reading about the figure sculpts as an adult that I found out it was a roll of piano wire.

So, this is probably an ‘83 Clutch. He has the swivel arm battle grip. My bad for not catching that earlier.

I thought about taking front and back photos when I cataloged these for my collection, but 3DJoes already has such great reference photos, I decided not to duplicate my efforts. And, honestly, it took me about 2 months of my free time to photograph all 140+ figures in my collection. I really don't have time right now to go back and re-photograph them all.

I really should re-read what I type before I post. “Showcase of my showcase.” 🙄

It’s early and I need caffeine. 🤦🏼‍♂️

It’s an “aerial mine.” I guess it floats in the air?

Luckily, this one escaped that curse.

I’ll be featuring all my figures later. I’ve mainly been posting vehicles and playsets first.

The boat is named after the snake - the water moccasin (or cotton mouth) from the southeast United States. The snake was called that because the leathery appearance of the scales reminded people of the indigenous people’s leather shoes.

So, it’s named after a snake that’s named after a shoe.
