    VideoViper’s general customs & other dioramas

    Nice work. He's the best batman villain created in the last 30 years. Super creepy.

    I have some partial spares for both, as the sets I bought for the arctic versions of both tanks required me to remake some decals sans white. So I have the stars for both, the Mauler Joe logos, the mauler crests, and a few others... if yours don't show up, I can pass those along. I can take a...

    Right? They all look pretty normal Joe-scale until you start putting figs in them, then you realize they're massive. Also, you may have figured this out already, but the Mauler cannon will ratchet down one more notch to dead-level, but it doesn't go perfectly smooth. On mine, I sometimes...

    Looks great! I'm rather relieved that it all arrived unharmed. Third time's the charm?! Yes, the big corner protectors on the inside came from the Snowcat haslab, and the smaller ones on the outside were from something I ordered from ShowZ. Saved them for just such an occasion. Isn't the...

    California origins?! Duke's from St Louis... RnR is the surfer-boi from Cali. The first two classified versions both looks a little on the young side, I'll concede that, but giving him the giant eye scar and a RnR beard is just not the way to imply he's been around the block, IMO. They could...

    I want to like this release... but I'm not a fan of the beard... he looks too much like RnR!

    Pulse delivered Flash today... and WM claims that FedEx is delivering Iceberg to my house... fingers crossed. Stepping back, this is all so hilarious. Imagine telling your 10yo self that there would be no more TRU, no more toy stores at the mall, no more Sears, no more K-Mart or other regional...

    Agreed, it's like hasbro let the 'Nam folks hold everything to be shipped on the same slow boat... like some asian factory Pile-o-Loot, so that everything shows up at once. That VAMP MkII will look good with the desert crew. The lack of tan vehicles is the main reason I got motivated to finish...

    Two more deluxe "Pet" releases next year, and one more in the Fanmazon/Fan Channel releases. I figure one has to be Spearhead and Max... but I'm out of ideas on the others. Maybe one is the highly requested SE v2 with a new Timber? I would guess Voltar, but so far none of the birds qualified...

    And so it begins... the WM spiral of cancellation. (insert evil laugh here) I'll get a single zarana to keep on the cardback, but the TR has much improved pants... they gave him his bell bottoms. My only gripe is that he didn't get his ARAH cowboy boots in favor of some clompy shit-kickers...

    Joe panel at NYCC... renders for '27 w1: Hardball, HEAT Viper, Daina, Shipwreck renders for '27 retro W1: Chuckles, Tunnel Rat, and Zarana (all '87 movie decos) deluxe: Ambush 2-pack: Ninja Force Storm Shadow & Billy Couldn't care less about Ambush, but the rest are solid buys.

    Even if they come out with a second volume, they'll certainly re-release the first volume at that time to catch all the people that missed it and wouldn't buy the second book without the first.... and if history is any indicator, they'll probably update it, correct it, and make it the deluxe...

    That's wild that DH is coming out with yet another visual guide to Joe. I think I have 2-3 different versions I've picked up over the years, and I have this 2-volume slipcase set coming from kickstarter in the next couple of months: But I think I'll hold off on a Classified guide. Five...

    Apparently SP is supposed to be related to Crystal Ball (nephew?). Stephen King famously helped create CB (or his file card or some such), and SP was basically a figure of King's son. And SP has the same hometown as King. I remembered King's involvement with CB back in the day, but I had no...

    WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?! I placed THREE orders for Joes at WM this morning. Sneak-Peek... only because of '87 completionist compulsion... he looks pretty derpy. Then I ordered W2 of the 'Murica 250 ReAction+ figures... because exclusive.... and then I ordered Iceberg b/c they said he'd be...

    I'll likely get it out tomorrow, no worries. I just have to take my time and pack it right. I have plastic wrap and bubble wrap ready to go. :thumbsup:

    It's a well done model, expertly printed ;) The original designer did a solid job, and the detail is really accentuated by the two-color printing. I designed and added the three circled panels from scratch (yeah! new CAD skills!) to try to mimic the OG toy more closely. The two in the...

    Word of warning about the places that could be fragile... - On the right, the tiny little antenna on top next to the hatch... it's easy to forget it's there and snag something on it. I broke mine on the white version, but I doubt anyone would ever notice. - The sensor at the top... I haven't...
