A New Line Of 1/6th Environments Your Help Needed, PLEASE VOTE ON SECOND THREAD

[The_One]

Hey Guys and Gals!

To cut a long story short, I have teamed up with a professional set builder who has worked in the T.V. and Film industry.
Although he would like to remain anonymous, he has done work on a lot of movies and shows and is very good at what he does.

He would now like to concentrate on what I consider a gap in the market and produce highly accurate Backgrounds/Dioramas in 1:6 scale.
I know there is a lot of custom work available on Ebay etc but he considers that for the money, he can vastly improve on what is out there.

What I need from you guys is valuable feedback on a starting point on what you would personally buy to display your Hot Toy/ Sideshow / Enterbay figures with.
I need what you would consider a must have movie scene which obviously will partner with figures that have been released.
If you can include a movie shot in your post, this would also be really helpful. I thank you in advance for any contribution!!

Cheers

Dependant on price obviously, i'd like to get a stairwell from the tower fight scene in Highlander.

While not movie specific, I'd really love a gargoyle base. Something like this, but in 1:6 scale and designed so it can stand firmly on the ground and a figure can be placed on top of it:

OH! Very exciting!

I think any of these could be very popular:
- TDK/BB Batsignal
- TDK Armoury
- Batman Begins Armoury
- TDK Hong Kong Rooftop scene environment to display DX02 Batman
- Interrogation room TDK (already available widely)
- Batman Begins Gargoyle for Begins Batman to stand on

I'll post pics when I get a chance and also think of other ideas

thanks guys.
With reference to the Bat Signal.
We are aware that there are a few about but we are working on a prototype that actually projects the symbol onto your wall/ celing.

I'm not aware of any that do

Good shout although it would only be made to order IMO :

Thanks buddy, this is indeed on our shortlist.
Freestanding/wall mountable!!

A 1/6 section of the lobby set from the 1st Matrix would be awesome. Basically an enlarged version of what McFarlane released with their figures is what I'm thinking.

Re: A New Line Of 1/6th Environments Your Help Needed

^ Agreed with Marf! The ruins batman is standing on in The Dark Knight would be awesome too. Or maybe a crumpled scarecrows van roof!

Mine does

It's made by 1mod6 but only 5-6 were ever made, I'd pick up another though

- 89 Batman batcomputer
- 89 Batman suit vault
- Hospital bed dio for TwoFace/Nurse joker (a cheap underscaled bed sold on eBay for $500 this week so there is certainly a Market for it )

Re: A New Line Of 1/6th Environments Your Help Needed

Rather than go for specific sets, I'd do generic that could work for multiple types of figures.

Horror/ gothic ruined building interior (zombies/action heroes)
Scifi Lab/ space ship type
Western type (saloon, bar)
Building exterior roof perhaps have a separate/ addable gargoyle.
(This would work with everything from batman to spiderman, perhaps even horror)
Jail cell (works for multiple)
Office of some type.
Hospital room

Re: A New Line Of 1/6th Environments Your Help Needed

I've had ideas for quite a few sixth scale environments over the years. Let's see....

- The Millennium Falcon cockpit and/or main hold area from Star Wars
- The Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars
- The carbon freezing chamber from The Empire Strikes Back
- Jabba the Hutt's throne room from Return of the Jedi
- The Batcave from Batman 1989 (the computer and armory and an area for the new Hot Toys Batmobile)
- Tony Stark's lab from Iron Man and Iron Man 2
- The bridge of Serenity from Firefly

Some of these would probably take up a lot of space but I personally think they'd be pretty cool.

I can understand the logic in multi use locations but we are aiming for pure 100% accuracy more than anyone else.
I've got the man with skills so I'm going to beat him hard until he gets things 100%

The Cockpit would be pretty cool.
I like the sound of that!!
