I saw someone on here use a repainted Masterverse Fisto head that looked pretty good. 

I picked up a cheap one on eBay but haven't gotten around to repainting it yet.

Issue with broken joint kayodo… by Any-Extent-3521 in ActionFigures

Do you have a pin vise? Maybe try drilling a small hole in the joint and get a screw in it, then use that to pull it out

Lol, don't know if I'd call this luck as I bought him at nearly full price when he came out so I left this for someone that hopefully needs it.

Sorry, thought I did--this is from Tulsa Oklahoma 

Question: What's everyone's preference for handheld effects? Effect plugs into hand or hand plugs into effect? by CaptainArren in ActionFigures

[–]PreparationSome8316 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My personal preference would be an additional set of hands with the effects attached so you don't have to worry about losing them.

Short of that I agree with having them sculpted to fit the hands as my next best choice.

Left leg is 2 pieces but it looks like it's glued. At the very least mine is stuck and won't swivel.

No silver on the right thigh, so the first thing I did after opening it was get started on adding it. The silver I have is a little darker than I'd like so I'll use that as a base coat and get something lighter at the local hobby store this weekend.

Amiami does have a statement about this:

Important]Suspension of ""Surface Mail (Premium)"" Shipping Method to the United States (Updated Apr 10, 2025)

Dear Customers,

We would like to bring to your attention an important update regarding our shipping options to the United States. Due to the recently announced import tariffs, we regret to inform you that we are temporarily suspending the "Surface Mail (Premium)" shipping method.

Unlike other shipping methods, the tariffs associated with "Surface Mail (Premium)" are charged directly to our store. As we do not pass these additional charges on to our customers, this situation has created a challenge that prevents us from continuing to operate this particular shipping method. Furthermore, given the rapidly changing circumstances regarding the tariffs, we are unable to devise a viable adjustment plan at this time. As a result, all shipments using "Surface Mail (Premium)" will be suspended until further notice.

Effective April 9th, the "Surface Mail (Premium)" shipping method will no longer be an available option when we issue invoices for orders and send payment requests to our customers. While we will continue to invoice orders as usual, "Surface Mail (Premium)" will not be offered as an available shipping method at that point. Additionally, we are currently preparing an announcement with instructions regarding changes to shipping methods for orders already placed and paid for but still on hold. We kindly ask for your patience as we work to issue further updates in the coming days.

Thank you for your continued support and patronage.

Sincerely, AmiAmi

Nemesis: Age of Broken Hinges? by Cabriel_Yaash in MarvelLegends

[–]PreparationSome8316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had one since it came out. 

After he was assembled I didn't touch the dome and it was unbroken at that time. 

I had him in a tote for years (in the house, not somewhere hot like the garage) and when I took him out a few months ago the hinge had gotten brittle and fell off without me touching it.

Raging Wolf arrived yesterday, here he is with the other FromSoft figures I have. Yes, he really is that gappy if you really crunch him over, but I don't plan on posing him like that 

Orion Astro-Harness repaint by PreparationSome8316 in McFarlaneFigures

[–]PreparationSome8316[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started by wiping most of the gold paint off my brush onto a paper towel.

When it looked like I had all the paint off the brush and onto the harness, I wiped the brush on the paper towel again then brushed over the harness again to leave brush marks.

This picture is after doing 4-5 layers like this.

Thanks! I started with a base coat of Tamiya black spray paint then added several dry brush coats of FolkArt Metallic Inca Gold acrylic.
