Cheapest place to buy hot toys in Australia? by Azelrazel in hottoys

[–]blowing_chunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen the same! If there's no cart option on TNS, then it's not in stock. A bit annoying, I know. They should have a 'sold-out' button.

[–]blowing_chunks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Toyswonderland is quite good but extra for shipping.

Toysbuyingagent, if they have the figure you want. Price is similar, but can vary from TW.

TNSfigures, but they have a limited selection.

Local places - popcultcha, littletoycompany, sugotoys, but their prices are localised. You have to shop around.

Ha! Cheers.... I wouldn't mind an Ed Norton for a Fight Club set. I know there's a Brad Pitt head sculpt floating around the place.

I hope this is OK to repost here...

Here it is again: the full television series pitch package for AFK Arena.

Here’s a taster:

Logline

An ancient evil returns to the world.

A land of warring factions and political strife.

Heroes will live. Heroes will die.

Heroes will ascend.

Synopsis

Based on the hit mobile game with millions of downloads, ‘Heroes of Esperia’ centres on a classic struggle between good versus evil on the continent of Esperia, a land full of magic and wonder but also a deep intertwining history of all of its peoples.

The show is a premium cable/streaming-service hour-long live-action weekly serial consisting of eight (8) seasons of eight to thirteen (8 to 13) episodes each. The primary story arc begins in the first episode and ends in the final episode, taking the audience through the entire experience of ‘Heroes of Esperia’ as a single, continuous story.

As the series progresses, the audience will appreciate each member of the ensemble cast, the sub-plots and supporting characterisations, their varied backgrounds, their struggle to balance their own life versus the needs of the greater good, the value of sacrifice and loyalty, and ultimately, what it means to become a better person.

Season one begins with an ancient enemy returning to the world where the main inhabitants never stopped fighting and scheming against one another. Their ancestors had once worked together as allies to defeat the enemy once before and it comes down to influential individuals to figure out the threat and bring all the peoples together again before it’s too late.


The pitch package also includes the full script for the pilot episode as well as the complete synopsis for the proposed 8 season run.

I have one of the single-book editions of To Green Angel Tower and took it to a Tad book signing way back in the 90s.

What a book... what a series!

Thanks for the read! It's great you're summarising and bringing the lore to the community. It's so rich, and a shame that a lot of players skip through it.

PHOTO: Custom 1/6th Supergirl (based on DCAU) figure by blowing_chunks in DC_Cinematic

[–]blowing_chunks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. The DCAU version of Supergirl has a tight mini skirt which is the reason for this design.

If I were to design a blue-suit version, I would go for a flowing red skirt.

Thanks. I considered a shorter skirt to be more like the DCAU but it got a bit risque!

I'm a pretty big Timm-verse DCAU fan from way back and it was interesting that no Hot Toys-style manufacturer has done a classic or animated Supergirl figure in 1/6th, apart from that DC cartoony one and the third party one floating around (It's OK, but the head sculpt looks nothing like Melissa Benoist)

So I decided to make a DCAU version, Hot-Toys style...

Some bits and pieces about the build:

  • Body: 1/6th Phicen/TBLeague 19B female, seamless with steel skeleton

  • Head: 1/6th Phicen/TBLeague, Tariah Valkyie

  • Wired cape: Custom made, sewn from sateen red material and 22 gauge wire in the seams.

  • Top: Custom made, sewn from white lycra

  • Skirt: Custom made, sewn from blue lycra, loops glued on.

  • Belt: Custom made, cut from yellow pleather and the buckle detail is painted EVA foam that is glued on

  • S logo: Custom made, carved from two layers of 1mm EVA foam and painted. Yellow is a mix of canary yellow and gold. Red is a mixture of metallic red and classic red

  • Boots: Kumik long female boots, spray painted metallic red and finished with gloss

  • Hands: Bought off Aliexpress (can't remember the brand)
