Sorry to hear that , I had to email them to get them to drop it off to the P.O.

I'm happy. It's a very nice 1:6 scale figure.

Mine is still in HK as well.
Last 3 shipment from KG are all nothing but trouble. (FF7 Sephiroth, Cloud with Bike and this)
Other items from other sellers in HK had no problem and they all got delivered on reasonable time.

The first thing i did was to remove about 3mm off the base of the neck.

I'm going to insert a few LEDs into the VK machine. The bellows is glued on, which is where i will hide the on/off switch. The base is a separate panel, that i will use to access the button cells. I've cut out the screens and will glue new images onto thin plasticard, which light can shine through. I will also drill out some of the lights on the front panel.

You're not thinking of articulating that bellows part, right?

I'm calling the collar experiment a success, much happier with it now.
Moving onto the tie and collar next.

I'm amazed at the difference. My 2 orders from KGhobby dispatched quickly when available. Maybe the region the shipping goes to is a factor?

The collar looks much better now. Did you sew it on? glue it on? Can't tell from the picture.
What's you plan for the Shirts collar?

Maybe? When was your 2 orders shipped out? All KG shipping trouble started around late December 2021.
It's holiday season, so I get that. but I'm comparing with other sellers from HK. so no excuse there.

Astonishing, can't wait to see everything finished.

Thanks, everyone!

I used Fabri-Tac for it, cut the material as precisely as I could and undid the stitching so it could go underneath the lining.
It has the edge framing around ridged piece, it's very narrow but to scale like the real one, so had to be applied carefully and slowly.

I'm still not sure how I'll tackle shifting the collar pattern down closer to the edge... I don't want to restitch it all. I'm hoping it can be reasonably easily taken off but will experiment on a part that doesn't show first. Planning on using Fabri-Tac for it if I can.

For your convenience, comparison between Dark Toys blaster and the Super Mad Toys blaster. Persoannly, I prefer the SMT blaster, but the DT blaster is definately not bad.
