nah, they can't reach the ladder to get in the cockpit!

I'm using Wookies

looks like they've got 4 of the OD 1/18 sherman tanks in stock if anyone needs one. $35 seems like a pretty good deal.

Normandy, that's the one!!! thanks for the heads up. :D got my order in, now I keep my finger crossed that they don't screw me over on their weird shipping quote .... "Estimated Shipping: $7.20 Shipping Quote based on shipping weight less than 1 lb. If shipping weight is greater than 1 lb, the diffe...

those double-stack figure packs are pretty bizzaro-land ( and a nice deal too!!! )

bump! still looking. flyboy, if you've got the cannon from your custom version I'd be interested in buying or trading for just the cannon.

coffee time T-man!! I know it's still kinda early out there on the west coast!

I just noticed that the motorcycle w/sidecar isn't just the existing bike with a sidecar plugged into the side of it. Looks to me like it's got more realistic wheels/tires, the added brace to the front mudguard thingy, legshields, and it looks like it might have a jump seat behing the driver, also t...

I'll bet those will be pretty in demand once The Pacific airs next year though...

Damn I really hope that the motorcycle w/sidecar makes it to retail, and isn't impossible to find. I'd bet these will only see release through online shops and places like game stop etc. I really don't see any big box stores taking the risk after the clearances last winter. Deitrich arms are from th...

lots of good stuff here for customs, especially in the head and hats sections.

norman888, I'd say that I collect both figures and vehicles together. I'm pretty much just into ground based stuff but part of the enjoyment is the ability to create dioramas so having the figures is essential. Having the plane sitting on a shelf for display is one thing but I know a lot of people l...

Are these still around at any online retailers or does anyone have a spare to sell or trade? I'd also be interested in an extra PzB41 (or whatever the gun is??? ) if anyone has a spare.

I'm just going to go ahead and say it won't work without posting a pic (since I'm feeling lazy :wink: ). First, the ball and sockets on the necks and heads are way different sizes, granted this could be modified to fit but then you're left with a pin-head (size-wise of course keeping politics out of...

Just a heads up! Smalljoes has the 4 removable chute figures up as well as the 4 Normandy figures and the AB weapons pack with cart for pre-order with a July 20th estimated arrival. Cheapest I've seen them online. Glad to see these are making a second appearance as I missed most of them at TRU last ...

saw this link posted over at joecustoms.com the other day.

nice page with lots of basic tutorials and techniques in one easy place.

NICE! I could definitely use some for the panzer IV. btw, is that Smooth-On your using for it? They're definitely my favorite company for moldmaking and casting materials and you can get their urethane in all different shore hardness and pretty much mix any color you want. Worth checking out if you'...

just out of curiosity...on the first series bbi paras with the molded on jump gear. Are their parachute packs opened or unopened? I should think they are opened since they are mostly to be used in a 'descending by parachute' mode. both, you can swap out between opened or closed chutes. It would hav...

Any idea what these are? The look like some type of bootlegs. Interesting vehicles in the background too... http://cgi.ebay.com/Combat-Force-1-18-US-Soldier-Action-Figure-Set-9-Models_W0QQitemZ380131137225QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item588194d6c9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1...

well if you pick up an RC Sherman you've gotta have the LCV to go with it...

above link is waayyyy too much time on their hands....

There were those rubbery ones that came with the Indy Russian Figures as well. The snow serpent version is pretty nice and feels to scale. The one you've shown with the baroness is a little chunky and clunky imho. I think the 21st NVA figures had one that was nice. There was a bayonet one with the e...

The unmasked Storm Shadow from the Joe movie line looks like a good sculpt.

Based on how craptacular the movie looks you should be able to pick them up on clearance for a dollar later this year.

All those who believe in false rumors and the scales that deceived them shall be cast into the lake of disappointment, with dashed hopes and broken promise, where the B-52, Phantom F-4, and King Tiger will writhe in lost profit, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever by what might ha...
