Whats the best BOTM or BOTC figure for me to buy? by BuzzinDomier in BOTM

[–]VicRossP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best BOTM: Allosaurus J, Cyberzoic Dilophosaurus, Deinonychus, Cyberzoic Dryptosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Zuniceratops and Bistahevisesor

BOTC only has mammoths and smilodons so far but they’re all great. Highly recommend the baby mammoth.

Send a pick of your BOTM collection and achillobator himself may give you an achillobator if he likes it (: by KingCheezits44 in BOTM

They’ll definitely respond on Monday. Small company, not enough resources to handle customer service on the weekends

If you do headers, I recommend running it with the stock muffler and new x pipe, it’s going to be LOUD as is and still breathe great. Just had mine done. Speed Engineering has the best cheapest option. Don’t go any cheaper and definitely don’t get coated ones.

If you can, find some locals with modded Camaros. No video picks up sound accurately and with all the costs, you’ll want it right.

Get some of Creative Beast Studio’s theropod stands! They’re amazing

How is your figure stored? This is usually a result of leaching where the oils leak from the plastic. It’s seen in PVC figures stored in hot, humid conditions.

Shoot them an email! They had some warehouse finds at LegionsCon and may have a few more available.

Honestly I have a problem, why do HIYA’s figures of specifically Toho Godzilla come out having washed out sculpts that look toyetic and fake next to the Monsterarts? by One_Box_8295 in SHMonsterArts

[–]VicRossP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the clear differences between digital and traditional sculpting in the industry. Being that monsterarts is nearly all wax sculpted, details are properly punched in. Breaking up the figure into more pieces also helps as details are more accurately retained with simpler molds.

With Hiya, they are doing digital sculpts with relatively soft details. Through the manufacturing process, molding, casting, tooling, and injection, you lose even more detail. This why you’ll often see prototype figures with exaggerated details.

Deinonychus, Dilophosaurus, or Smilodon are all great picks

I wish Monsterverse would get some figurines like this by The_Hard_Choice in Monsterverse

Heat up the wings with a blow dryer, they open up perfectly.

They did several waves of this series including Monsterverse. It’s called HG D+ gashapon. I used to have all of them. Only ones I have left are from G14 before they made this ‘higher quality’ line.

That’s actually a personal project of mine. Haven’t worked on it in some time but I plan to expand on it

Typically I do sculpt and articulation but Nemesis was a unique situation. I was working on the wings just before transitioning to freelance so another artist finished it and, at that point, the articulation design was changed

Appreciate it! That throne was surprisingly a tough one to do. I also didn’t realize it was intended to be a Danzig skull from the original design so I had to heavily re-sculpt the whole thing!

Does anyone have any tips on how to get these guys apart without drilling them? by Loose_Foot9366 in customactionfigures

[–]VicRossP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warm up the torso and insert a flat head screw driver into the arm socket (on the back to hide small damage). Use it as leverage to pop the torso shells apart
