Where'd you order your Marlboro Cigs? How would they ship something that small, I can easily see it getting lost.

Hopefully it works out. Now all I need is the Flak jacket and Ill be set.

Site seems to be down or something....

 

[CeeemOr]

Why would you do that?

Also, don't know why but i keep staring at his lips

I strip my figures down so i can not only check all their limbs but also to re-dress them the way i want the clothes hang on the figure.Didn't even notice what you meant just till now when i looked at the PICS. again!

 

[CeeemOr]

Have you used them before? Also whats the bit I've marked in bold?

Hey,i want to know as well!

The helmets seem to be sitting nicely on your Platoons. Is that straight out of the box or did you need to do something? I ask because it seems like some folks have the helmets sitting really high on the head.

I've seen those same pics and it bugs the hell outta me People need to learn how to FUTZ their figures.

With Taylor, I didn't use the extra head meant for the helmet. The Barnes was pretty much out of the box.

For the added height, I glued a couple Medicom leg extenders to the ankle posts. I wasn't about to spend another hundred plus dollars for a Wesker body

I picked up the vests from Echobase a few years ago. I saw a couple pop up on EBAY back in February. So, EBAY may be it

Your figures certainly look great and well futzed. So you aren't throwing stones from a glass house!

 

[TK0083]

All right. Some updated pics. Still workin' on him. I threw on a half-@$$ pack of smokes that I bashed. I'll replace them as soon as I pick up some legit lookin' ones . . . . . .

Thanks! HEH HEH!

I believe he means the ACE of Spades (Card of Death). I've been meaning to order some 1/6 patches and accessories from One Sixth Scale King. I was gonna inquire about them doing some custom work. Having trouble getting on their site. Might have to purchase through their EBAY Store.

Wheres Elias and Lerner!

 

[a-dev]

I think HT, as is seemingly their custom, is going to make us sweat over whether they will actually complete the line.

I don't think the interest or sales were enough to make HT go further. Neither figure received much attention until they hit the west and both still available. My guess is these two and done.

I bet Barnes would look fantastic on a Royce body. Berenger was the most "built" out of all of them.

 

[a-dev]

Even success doesn't seem to guarantee more figures. Just look at the Terminator lines. They've stopped dead. If nothing happens for the T2 anniversary it seems very unlikely any more figures will be made there and thats really going to frustrate me if it proves to be the case. However I will still cherish and find use for my existing figures.

With Platoon though, without completing the triumvirate of Taylor, Barnes and Elias I kinda feel the whole line is almost pointless. Thats just me, maybe not for others. I think I'd be tempted to either sell or convert them into something else, maybe resistance fighters for my Terminator collection.

 

[Rzeznikk]

Theyve already announced Elias and Lerner.

 

[a-dev]

Thats well known but best to believe it only when it happens.

 

[gotham_collector87]

All they have to do is just make one more figure and most people would be happy. Elias has to be made or this line is a fail and if they made a Lerner fig over Elias that would be the most dumb idea they've made in a while.

 

[barryo]

JUST MAKE THEM ALL HT !!!!..................

elias, king, red, bunny, rhah, big harold, junior,..........and your cash cow lerner........

 

[a-dev]

if they made a Lerner fig over Elias that would be the most dumb idea they've made in a while.

Yep, that would be ridiculous. So ridiculous I think I'd rather they made neither than if they just made Lerner.

Anywho, I just ordered the Marlboro cigarette pack from onesixthscaleking.com aswell. I hope it doesn't get lost in transit, something so small.

My Barnes arrived today from AlterEgo. Haven't had a chance to open him yet, but something to look forward to this evening.

I'm not so sure. Barnes just came out and is already sold out at Sideshow. In a recent newsletter, they had opened waitlists for Barnes and Whiplash. Whiplash has been out for ever. I would think that they would make Elias since it's not much different than the other two. They could then go off that sculpt to give us a Goblin. Hopefully.
