I watched the latest Viper Island video today... don't ask me why. I hate his weird AI-sounding, sing-song game-show-host voice overs - it's weirdly condescending, like he's talking to retarded children. However, it was full of info, rumors, speculation... all implying that he knows way more...

I want to know why it is that Super7 can create vintage-looking card art with seemingly little trouble, and yet hasbro retro card art looks like a toddler played with 2021 AI.

I'm way behind on ARAH, but I did get the 2nd print of 330 with Lara on the cover. I have a series of flights in a couple of weeks, so maybe I'll have time to kill that I can catch up on a few titles.

I completely understand. I dislike painting, but it's often a necessary evil to get where I'm going. Same with decals... I loathe waterslides, but that's often the only choice for whatever I'm building. And yeah, I don't like assembly either (you'd never know it from all the things I print...

My life is a hobby. I go to great lengths to make sure my business kind of runs itself, and only about 20% of my day is "work". The rest of the time, it's just fun projects.... to keep the mind and body busy. I do get interrupted more than I'd like, but hey, I can't complain. I get to be...

I'm sure! I like solving problems like this, but I hate repetitive work. Making more than 2-3 of anything becomes tedious. I like the instant gratification of seeing a finished project, and then my brain immediately moves on to the next thing. That's part of the reason I haven't even taken...

I filled the exhaust trail rear end with lead weights, so along with the snug fit on the hard-point, it should be just fine balance-wise. The missiles themselves are not that heavy.

Just some basic wedges that look like hydraulic cylinders. For a static display, you can just poster-tack one in place, no mods, no fuss. I printed four different angles, so one of them should be in the ballpark for your display goals. (the color mismatch is not nearly as obvious IRL...

Exactly as you'd expect... but I have a low-tech aid for that, no worries.

Progress...

So the new missile came out pretty good. The fit is perfect, and I didn't have to downscale it. I just put a small notch in each of the lower wings to keep from interfering with the rack's rear support arms. They're fairly unobtrusive. And I like the new nosecone. It's a mild departure from...

Yeah, 90's NJF SE and weird non-classic Jinx are a solid pass. No nostalgia, no must-have parts... no sale. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm going to be assembling a new smaller vehicle this weekend. Got everything printed, just waiting on the decals and some time to dedicate to assembly. Moving Nacho Jr into...

Finally got back to the MMS missile exhaust project. They're over 16" long and mount really solidly to the hard points, and there is plenty of surface to put some poster tack if necessary, but I doubt it'll be needed. Also, as you can see, I put a cavity in the rear of the upper half for some...

I think we're still getting what was in the Lenny-pipeline through the end of next year. Supposedly, whatever they show at the end of next year for early '28 release will be the first stuff actually developed by the new regime. The line is strong, but it feels like we're going 80 on a...

***raises hand***... nostalgia straight into the veins, please. I ordered both items... 2x on the FF. I would have ordered three, but "limits". It feels like three is the minimum needed in a dio setup to give the look of "many", so I might have to use some photoshop magic to get the effect...

In case anyone is after the SDCC Joe items, they go up at 1pm on pulse today for premium, tomorrow for all others. EDIT: dang, Fatal Fluffies already sold out in under 4 min, and they had a limit of 2... o_O

Very nice. My kids have that schleich castle too. It was great for the price... it was so cheap when we found it that I bought a second one that is still sealed. It's pretty darn big when you get it setup.

No doubt. When Marvel, DC, SW, Joe, MOTU, Thundercats, and a zillion smaller companies and lines are all in the 6-7" scale, it's hard for anyone to buck that trend. I mean, 1:18 still has ARW, Super7, JoyToy, Marauders, all the various kickstarter campaigns for o-rings and others... but they...

I saw those for the first time last week. The prominent ball shoulders that remind me of old ToyBiz marvel legends are a bit of a turnoff. It's like they're using 2008 figure construction. Even Vala was better than this out of the gate. That plus the $41/ea price pretty much eliminates any...

Oh, I'm not surprised that you want Lara to be realistic. I'm not new here ;) Regardless of franchise or era, I think I'm just enamored with whatever version I liked first or have the most exposure to. I like my O13 to be mostly-realistic... I like my Dreadnoks to be punk... I'm ok with my...
