    Mega Bloks Militia

    Yeah, while TF and Joe are on similar footing here with us middle-age folk, worldwide I think Joe is an order of magnitude away from TF on the popularity scale. All the 3Ps are in China, and if they did it, the figures would all be identical. Imagine their reaction to making soldiers in camo...

    If that were the case, we could get creative with the plastic colors and not have to spend several man-hours painting each one. I could go for that... Forum member NSAsian, step right up!

    I like Despotron's body (it looks just like Revoltech Megs that I adore, Pat Lee hate be damned). But his face is.... not as good as the other choices. I'm getting him, I just hope they tweak him a bit more. However, I don't share the Apollyon hate. If we never got another MP Megatron, I'd...

    He's preordered! Unless one of your delorians can go forward in time, I'm just going to have to wait... I'm not 100% sure he's better than Apollyon, but I do like him. If they tweak that damn head, he'll be killer.

    Eddie called me out, so I had to post some pics with MP Transformers!

    Hahahahaha, I wish, but thanks for the kind words. Happily married, two kids, four cats, and I'm self-employed (no, not a euphemism for "unemployed"; I'm at the office 50 hrs a week). I really don't have that much free time, just do some painting in the evenings after the kids go to bed and a...

    I'm working on Wild Bill... customizing that noggin is gonna be some work. I've got a lot more characters planned, but I hated to wait forever to start posting some pics. I think the MBs work fine with McFarlane. MF sets lean toward the ultra-realism side, but not so much that MB figures look...

    I had that thought too! It's a terminator head (I don't know the character, haven't seen the movie). He has scars also, but that didn't seem out of character for a heavy equip guy. But he definitely gives off a conan vibe. I was mostly trying to get some variety in the sea of CoD heads. I...

    NICE! I've been so focused on figures that the vehicles remain unbuilt. I'll have to remedy that soon...

    The reason these are proportioned the way they are is durability. You'd have to work to tear one up. But I imagine joints any smaller than this could end up being fragile. The Walking Dead mini figures have realistic proportions, but they have 0-1 PoA each, and they're crazy fragile. They're...

    The first 6-8 that I did were LBCs, you know, the Joes that wore black, khaki, or medium green. At that point, the no-painting came to an end. First it was just hair or webgear. Then it was little details like gloves and belt buckles. After a while, especially when you get into the...

    I would argue that for someone wanting the BAF, you'd be better off buying the Diamond Select version Juggernaut which is slightly larger and more detailed... at the same price you'd pay for the figure you didn't want just to get the BAF piece.

    I'm having 90's Marvel flashbacks! Make it stop! Sonofabitch couldn't anchor his own book, but he was an unwelcome invader in every Marvel title.... except maybe Power Pack. Uuuuuugggghhhh (a la Sideshow Bob)

    Nothing worse than other people's kids. I wanted kids, and I'm thrilled with the two I've got... but I've worked for years to make them into non-monsters. They have manners, they know how to behave, and they speak like small adults... and then we see other kids, and my skin crawls. I want to...

    Geebuz.... 5+?!?!?! When I see people with that many kids, I have one of three reactions: 1) You don't know where babies come from or 2) You are filthy rich and can afford nannies & maids to do all the dirty work or 3) You have found some kind of super serum that allows you to effectively have...

    There is no way I can look at that figure and get Carrie Kelley out of it. The hair's wrong, the goggles are wrong, and the red boots are wrong. If that's supposed to be her, they've taken a lot of liberties... ugh.
