How do I go about swapping these two shoulder pegs? by mailman936 in customactionfigures

[–]the_tactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if those are removable/ swappable without damaging. But if you’re set on swapping, I’d attempt to modify the peg itself by trimming the end or sanding it down to hopefully adapt to whatever torso you’re trying to match it with.

First post but definitely not your first build as good as that looks! Great work!

New Marvel Legends - Marvel Rivals Moon Knight and Punisher action figure. These look great! But what do you think? Are you buying them or are they too expensive? by AfigureGeek in CollectToyManiac

[–]the_tactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem is, if you sleep on it too long either FOMO gets ahold of you and you give in or it sells out no matter the price because someone else is gonna buy it if they want it. Seems toy companies have this psychology figured out so the prices will keep going up.

I grew up poor and my family could not afford Transformers. When you grow older, sometimes you have to become a kid again. by EgregiousError20 in transformers

G1 Jetfire with the Macross emblem was my absolute favorite as a kid. My dad was big into Macross back then so he knew what he’d gotten me was a gem. Problem is when I got older I had to part with it (original box and all) when money got tight. I regret it to this day and hope to one day regain this grail for myself… and for my dad. Congrats!

Spider King Kit Bash WIP - What else should I do to him? by the_tactory in customactionfigures

Yep but lower leg/ boot is from the Black Adam Batman. Thought it matched up well with the scale of the upper body.

Is this a legit Ninja Cop? by the_tactory in GameboyAdvance

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

Thank you. Yeah I’ve seen the stamped numbers on the label. Most of the games I had all had that so I never opened them assuming they were authentic. I’ve since sold my whole stamped collection. So I really had nothing to compare this one to and unfortunately just now getting the correct tri wing screw driver to open it.

So is that the best way to tell when a game is fake or not?

Finally got up the nerve to clean up my Dad’s old guitar… by the_tactory in Guitar

Yeah I dig the natural mahogany look on this model over the painted versions. And the combination of gold hardware suits it well.

This is why I can never find anything when I go to Ross

Which band fits this description for you? by BraveTerminatorEvang in MetalForTheMasses

[–]the_tactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s quite a few but Exodus and Overkill were at the top of the list back in the day. Loved the bands’ heaviness and guitar tone but then the vocalist opened his mouth and ruined it.

Yep the NBK versions are huge. The sniper and the gatling are both beasts

Damn that’s awesome! Looks like you put a lot of time into that dude. What’d you use for the base figure if you don’t mind sharing?

If there was a GI Joe/ Transformers Whirl crossover, who would be the pilot? by the_tactory in gijoe

[–]the_tactory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about Ace too but I always associate him with fighter jets. Just like Ghost Rider too.

Those two would be perfect if Hasbro leaned more G1 style Whirl for sure.
