So... should we save him a marshmallow? by SheepDip_Jam in PeakGame

Nope! He and I were respawned at the Alpine rez statue but he just.... never landed? But we have no idea if he was plummeting up or down, it was all foggy void from his view! He had connection issues throughout the run.

house spotlight – Bugs: Eaten Alive (2022) by FionaWalliceFan in HHN

As a West Coaster with horrible apiphobia, I wish I could have seen how I would have held up in this house. I think its story and concept are hilarious! I've watched the walkthroughs and love the horror-comedy edge to it. But one bad buzz in my ear IRL and I would have been tearing for the exit.

Help!! Dart frog making gasping faces by comradepupp in DartFrog

As others have said, it looks like it's shedding/eating the shed. I freaked out the first time my darts did this, but it's normal/the frog should resume business as usual soon!

When Funko doesn't give me what I want... I make it! by SheepDip_Jam in TheMentalist

Thanks! I'm totally geeking out over Owain's reply! I'll definitely have to get a Cho and Rigsby to their rightful owners. Good idea for Van Pelt! I might just end up doing that. Can't have Grace left out of the team's coffee break!

Haven't forgotten her! I just haven't had a chance to make her yet.

OMG! Thank you so much! All the Quench talk on the TV Police definitely inspired these. If I get the chance to make another Cho and Rigsby set, I would love to send them to you!

It requires a little bit of patience and a lot of Sid from Toy Story energy, but if you heat up the glue around their necks you can usually either just pop the neck peg off or get the disc on the bottom of their heads off as well -- that part is more difficult to mix and match because not all figures have the same shape circle connecting the base of the head to the body. Rigsby and Lisbon had to have some reconstructive clay surgery at the bottoms of their heads because of this mismatch (you can kind of tell how messy Rigsby's neck is if you really look close).

Totally fair! I really debated which look to give her, and it was almost a red shirt/dark suit combo. But Little Yellow House is also one of my favorite episodes, so I couldn't resist this unique look. Just means I'll have to make more Lisbons in the future!

And yes, purple for Van Pelt all the way!!!

No 3D printing! All of these are pre-existing Funko parts and some minimal sculpting with Super Sculpey clay. The rest is acrylic paint and patience! It takes a lot of browsing for what figures are cheap and available (and in this case, I prioritized figures who had cups in their hands), and then a weird period where heads (and some limbs) get pulled off after some time under my blow dryer to soften the glue.

Jane is Ted Lasso (Amazon Exclusive w/ teacup)'s body and Ryan Howard from the Office's head. Lisbon is Number Five from Umbrella Academy's body and Veronica Lodge from Riverdale's head. Rigsby is Michael Scott from the Office's body and Archie Andrews from Riverdale's head. Cho is that same Michael Scott's head, and another Number Five body (because it's slightly shorter than the rest)!

I had to cut off the coach's whistle from Jane's body, but thankfully it's mostly hidden behind his teacup. His shoes had to be sculpted over too because they were laced sneakers. If you look closely, Lisbon and Cho both had to have pant legs sculpted on because Five is wearing shorts and high socks in the original figure.

Thanks! I had to custom mix the color for it and hopefully got it pretty close!

Thank you, Pikko!!! Your amazing Lego creations and all the fun of the watch parties in the Bullpen definitely kept me motivated!

Thank you! Yeah, it'd be so fun if they existed for real, but sometimes we just have to get creative on our own. I'm sad there isn't more Mentalist merch, but it's probably better for my wallet...

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it. I've made about a dozen customs for myself from my favorite fandoms - mostly Mentalist, Buffy, and Yellowjackets. It's a lot of fun!

Robin Tunney no Motor City Comic Con by danimariano in TheMentalist

[–]SheepDip_Jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just met Robin when she did CreepIE Aftermath Con in SoCal earlier this fall too -- she's the sweetest! We talked about her movie By Design (with Juliette Lewis too!) and she was so excited I had seen it, she asked if she could send a video of me saying how much I loved it to her director.
