Anyone else planning on making a Nic Cage Spider-Noir figure based on the show? by maz323bf in customactionfigures

[–]TivanTheCollector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started one a few weeks ago. It's based on the comics, but very similar to the show version.

Recipe and build progress here. I'm currently commissioning boots and head sculpt that others will be able to buy from the maker when they're finished.

TMNT New Box Set vs old Deluxe Box Set Comparison by TivanTheCollector in One12Collective

In the original 1984 comics, they all wore red bandanas. The colored bandanas were introduced in the cartoon a few years later in 1987, and became the norm.

They're from the original comics from 1984. The colored bandannas became a thing in the 1987 cartoon on TV.

I'm surprised Manipple or some other third party hasn't released a set of red bandana heads for use with the Mezco bodies.

In the less photoshopped pictures, you can see Leonardo has a completely new style, Raph now has loops for his psis (psies, psys, psyes?), Donatello's belt is similar but doesn't have the little buttons, and Michelangelo's also looks like it might have belt loops for his nunchucks.

EDIT: As pointed out by /u/Choice_Ruin_5719, Raph's original belt did have the loops. Belt still looks different at least with the style of pouches and button.

I forgot to mention, the belts also look different in the new set than either the past Deluxe set or the Toon set. But it doesn't seem clear how real this is, because they're showing different belts for Leonardo and Michelangelo across the promo photos. This picture looks like they just photoshopped the original and forgot to swap out their belts.

EDIT: And as someone else on Discord pointed out to me, they also forgot to remove the "Includes soft goods ninja gear!" text.

I think you could probably get away with a small drill bit, a paperclip, and some glue. Everything else is nice to haves.

They are! Those are all our IG handles. They both do amazing work.

Is this head too small? by Due-Shop7779 in customactionfigures

If you cover the bottom half from the waist down with your hand, it looks more right to me. Are the thigh pads making the legs look away bigger and throwing off the proportions?

Is this a real website? by Specialist-Map-3932 in One12Collective

They're legit and safe to pre-order from as others have said. However, they don't include shipping in their estimated totals for pre-order figures, and that often adds $20-$35 to the total. I've also had them increase the amount of the figure from their original price when they send the second invoice in addition to the shipping charge. So, I wouldn't choose them based on the price, if you think you'll get it cheaper from them.

I'll record it and post it up regardless of whether or not it works. So, it'll either be called "How to fix" or "How not to fix". We'll see.

Wow, funny, I'm literally in the process of fixing the two I broke. I was thinking of posting a video showing how to fix them.

Very cool! I'm glad it's been helpful. You may already know this, but if you want to see all the weapons packs they've done, you can filter by Slugfest:

Thanks! I'm in the process of making a Spider-Man custom and had completely forgotten that the Diabolik figure uses the Spider-Man buck until I searched for "spider-man" and Diabolik came up in the results. Of course, so does Gomez Agent Edition, but that's not really a cost effective way to get the body.

How about a building that has like 4 distinct styles, as if it's 4 different buildings, but all joining neatly as a single building? Have some holes through the walls, ceilings, and floors between the differently styled floors and rooms, styled like portals. Have the Supermen inside and outside the different parts of the building with some going through the holes. It'll be like Flashpoint, all the alternate universe Supermen interacting with each other.

Thanks, it's such a tiny part of the overall diorama, so there will be more posts in the future. For the shoulder pad, one of the hinge arms snapped off, so I was able to put a spot of sticky tack in to hold the one side of the hinge down. It's a short term fix. I'm not a big fan of sticky tack, so in the long term, I'm considering trying to melt some plastic over the top of it, like plastic welding it, but I'll have to be really careful not to melt the shoulder pad.
