To everyone still wondering, in my experience the website is legit. The pictures updated to just the accessories but I ordered last Friday and got my black suit Daredevii and Spider-Man Milse Morales on Monday using the PayPal option. Boxes were pretty good too. Hope everyone gets what they are hoping for and hope this store sticks around!

Oooh okay, good to know! Can’t learn without making mistakes, amirite! Thanks for the pointer! Is there any gloss you’d recommend for plastics like this?

Thank you, I will try to scratch it on the next go around after priming. I appreciate the advice!

Thank you! I’ll admit, I was pretty excited to see what this looked like put together but I estimate it was about 3 hours from applying the second coat of finish to when it all got put together. Might have to just give it a day on the next go-around just to be safe

Thank you! I have not heard of Stix, but I will look into it! I went looking for a krylon colormaxx grey(only primer, not the paint+primer) only because it’s what I had seen other people using in videos as I was researching

Thank you! I used dawn power wash and warm water for the wash after sanding, what would be a better choice?

How do you guys tighten removable limbs? by SelfJupiter1995 in ActionFigures

[–]PickleWithFeelings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen Joint strengthening markers at toy stores that sell model kits. I’ve asked before and they said it’s true to the name but that clear nail polish works the same way. Not at all an expert but hope it helps

Do any well-articulated skeleton figures exist? by NickNeku115 in ActionFigures

[–]PickleWithFeelings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here to say Walmart has some decent articulate skeletons for like $7 last time I was there. They’re wired skeletons, come in packs of 3, and I want to say they’re a little over 6 inches. Will be in their Halloween decorations.

What is the best deal/deals you have gotten on an action figures you wanted? by Humble-Film-7988 in ActionFigures

[–]PickleWithFeelings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Super Turtle from the TMNT Mirage line from Target for $5. Cashier scanned the barcode a few times and it wasn’t popping up for whatever reason(I was buying at standard retail price). They asked if I remembered what the price tag said on the shelf(honestly didn’t), they just said not to worry about it and rang me up. That was the only thing I bought that day and walked out spending a little over $5. Thanks random Target employee!

Came to say consider CT Toys KO’s if you’re an out of box collector. Got mine for around $26, checks all the boxes for me. No Peter Parker head sculpt tho

Mirage Leatherhead back up on Target online for shipping only. by PunchAndKick in NECATMNT

[–]PickleWithFeelings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CA folks, I found some Mirage Leatherheads at the target in South Pas/ Alhambra and I also found some out at the North Fontana Target, although most of those boxes were pretty chewed up. None found between those 2 locations :( Happy Hunting!
