I gave the liner one last try. I that all I'm going to do with this one, this is about as good as I'm going to get it, so I'm leaving it alone now.



If I mess with this figure anymore, I'd borrow this guys idea of giving the side of her head an orange wash.

Vortious has an old resize I did of that head. I'd try it out instead,and paint it. That original is quite bulbous. If offer you one myself,but I don't have one,lol. I lost a lot my masters a few weeks ago,and have been working on redoing stuff. That's not even on my list,although looking at it I probably should.

The torso has some proportion issues as well. I made a mistake once in shrinking some heads,and accidentally figured out how to alter such proportions,although I'm skeptical on how well the outcome would be.

The Vinyl Idolz Marty is dismantled. I'm. Going to attempt these parts,shouldn't be too hard in theory..





For a statue it was bad from an impressive amount of parts! Unfortunately I broke the head on disassembly.

Btw,here's an EE pic of the pin up DC females. I know KT would find shit to make with Harley!! Wonder Woman freaks me the fuck out!



Figures look impressive! With the only short comings being the hands,and I'm not a fan of that style joint in the mid section either...

Actually plan on buying Poison Ivy. Hopefully she will scale with Icons Harley, or maybe with Classic Silk Spectre.

Here's the Amazon Exclusive 6" Harley..





Amazingly I didn't damage the figure! Through multiple dunks in hot water,and a butter knife I pulled it apart! pretty happy about that,lol.

It's basically built like the blister pack DC 6" Wonder Woman on the top,and the boxed figures below...kinda neat,still not as good as a gijoe.

Yeah, but once shrunken she'll make a great whore figure, because Alley vipers have "needs".

I was thinking a fancy chick to go with the suit&tie wearing figures,but a whore works too I guess:trollface:

Thinking about it she's built exactly like the 4" Multiverse Harley torso wise. I kept thinking I've seen this construction before,and that's where it's from. She was an easy fix by combining a Scarlett lower torso with the original Harley torso. Here's a really,really old pic,lol



It's where this head came from too!

Made Harley a trench knife, as she needed an accessory and it seems like the type of thing she'd use. The search for a suitable firearm continues.

The Icons are 6", but not the same scale as Marvel Legends or DC Multiverse figures. I'd hazard to say that Chameleon's Thompson will be too large. I compared HQ to the boxed ML Black Cat I have and they wouldn't be compatible in a display.

Thanks for the offer, though. His gun is definitely what I'm looking for, Just got to find it in an odd scale. Maybe that 3.75 Captain America version? The gun was really large for the figure as I recall.

I'm working on a Election 2016 diorama for my office windowsill. I'm just using Cobra Commander for my Donald candidate; any suggestions for Hillary? I'm thinking of using the ROC Cover Girl body, but I'm drawing a blank on a head.

I've got a Trump head:trollface:

Still working on it tho,but it's coming very soon!! I plan to take pics in a few weeks,and get everything that's premade in my BST with on hand quantities for my fellow fighters before I eBay purge the extras again.

That's awesome. No plans for a Hillary head, though?

Idk if I'd go with Massive to describe it. I've said way more,and pushed folks way further in the past:trollface:

I did,but it's like Obama,and all that. I know the election is a sham,and she aleady has been chosen by "the man". just like Obama was:trollface: seriously tho not into politics,I just like Trump:racist:


My little work area(on my wife's new table too!!)



I lost this dreadful effer's hat! And tried to reshrink from a prior run,twice now and it keeps coming out with a damn hole in it! Wtf?!?!

Oh!! My new head for Stark!! Finally happy with it! Gotta be lowered a tad for this body,but it looks awesome on the HOA set Tony buck!



Here's the original. It's from the bootleg select Mark43

I just don't like the plastic they used. It feels cheap. You've got kids, so you may be familiar with the spider rings that come out around Halloween? They feel like that kind of plastic.

If they used hard plastic, they'd have a lot more defective/broken skeletons for sale. That plastic is the only way to have figures that skinny with articulation.

The kind that doesn't take paint very well?
Actually takes paint pretty well. You aren't gonna keep paint on the joints, but what else is new?

Kaiyodo proved that's not so, but I'm not gonna argue.

I wondered if that was the type of plastic they used...it also means you can't repair it with anything, no glue will stick to that kind of plastic.

First, the plastic isn't plastic spider plastic. Secondly, there's a huge difference between designing 5.5/6" figures and 4". Mere microns can disrupt a material's structural integrity.
