    mini PE-11 SFX "review"

    How big were they in the cartoon? I can't remember, but this makes them tiny-tiny. Still, I think I like them better than the TFC version coming out, simply because they're essentially triplets. That was always what I liked about them, that they were 3 nearly identical figures that merged...

    The Corps - Battlezone Set Review

    Shit, for $10-15 I'd still get that set. It's got some great dio bits in it. That back wall is really a dio scene-changer in itself, with the stacked crates. Really fills in a shot by itself. That is a cool find. If my Wally wasn't like visiting a 3rd world country, I'd check it out to see if...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    That's badass Rick! And that's just the start, wait till you do more and use the space that you have! I had to put my work on hiatus for the time being and put my stuff away to clean up my home office area for guests that were visiting, but I still have a whole laundry list of ideas left to...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    Thanks daremo :) Means a lot coming from you man! But I've just tried my hand at what others have before me. I've still got lots of practice to learn. I've been a huge fan of your stuff for quite some time. Hopefully it comes in handy! Always, feel free to post in-process or final pics of your...

    EOD Specialist - Modern Tripwire

    Okay, I haven't started this yet, but one of the 25th figures that I absolutely hate, is Tripwire. I need a little feedback before I start wasting money on acquiring parts... I want a modern version, and basically based off this, although a little more streamlined and more "G.I. Joe" while...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    Btw, thanks Z. :) Also, Rick, did you consider mitering in larger sections, so not by brick rows, but say, every 10-20 rows? All you need are some interlocking pieces. Once you fit the 2 together, run a balled-up piece of aluminum foil over the edges and corner, and it should help blend the...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    More or less, this is what I do. I did the same thing with the brick staircase that I made... Just draw the line work so that it visually extends. If you're assembling it permanently, just use the gorilla glue to hold the edges together, and after it's dried, THEN draw the lines and wrap...

    JOE WARTHOG

    Eff that, no way I'd take the time to freehand a friggin' entire vehicle. I've done camo on an entire figure and about shot myself when I finished. That's nuts, x. Plain nuts. Good job on it though. :)

    The two pictured in the thread earlier. :D They're only about a week to 2 weeks behind on their shipment notifications.

    Whew, nacho, we can sleep easier now. I just got my shipping notification from iGear that my last 2 Coneheads would be shipping soon. :rolleyes:

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    It's not the bank statements. She buys as much if not more shit, like shoes, music, gadgets, etc. It's the space. I'm running out of storage, and I don't want to have to box stuff up in a storage unit, because then, what's the point? My only vices are toys (mostly pricy, larger Transformers...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    Yeah, it's um, gotten bad. Actually, 2010-2011 has seen a huge jump in Joe purchase for me. Considering that the awesome cancelled ROC stuff showed up at ROSS, plus the Resolute sets came out, and the DOCI/AOCI went to ROSS, and the awesome POC figures... and now I've gotten into dio-building...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    I need to put away my Joes first. My girlfriend will literally kill me if I don't. Our guest bedroom is a mess, it's even bugging me. I don't actually have a big enough space to shoot all six! And don't worry, I may move the non-iGear discussion back to the Takara thread. For the time being it...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    I do, I have both the Wal-Mart Skywarp and Takara version, and the Takara Tundercracker. Hasbro hasn't released a proper US version yet. They're in boxes in my closet, I haven't taken them out recently.

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    I only count the first 6 that share the base Starscream F-15 mold. Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge and Thrust. But I imagine there are many more that could be considered due to their jet classification. If I were to include more, I guess Sunstorm and the Rainmakers, but I...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    Yeah, I preordered the damned things back at Christmas. Nacho vouched for them time and again, but it still kept me slightly uneasy until they arrived. I had previously ordered their MP Prime "anime" head for $20, and it arrived and I was really impressed with it, so I went ahead and bit the...

    Review: iGear Conehead Seekers

    That article makes them out to be pretty awesome. Although they're a tad small, I like how they look more like the animation model than the ones you posted. Although, I hadn't seen those guys yet, so I'm not as familiar with them. How big do they end up? I also kind of dislike how they don't...

    Tutorial: Creating Dio Walls from Foam

    Glad it came in handy, Rick. Can't wait to see what you churn out, of all people. Yeah, if I had room, background facades for buildings would be great to have. I'd love to do at least a city block or 2 so that I could shoot from different angles and swap out buildings.
