Got the other plasma gun finished up. I think it looks better with both of them done now. Also, have a family photo (l-r Contemptor, Deredeo, Angry Washing Machine)

Seeing these pics actually make me green with envy. Man, I WISH I had the talent/skill to paint figures. At the MOST, I would apply decals to action figures (If I had a double, one to NRFB and the other to mod).

I had to put that last part in there so the thread wouldn't think that I've lost my mind. ;)
 
That Monsters High doll is available for purchase now . £60 is a bit steep for my tastes although I like it...
 
Finished this last week but forgot to post. Had some issues with this one.

Brand: HIGH GODO
Name: Attacker Mech
Pieces: 569
Price: $34.99 on Amazon (got it with a 6% discount).

I call this one Blue Thunder Beatle.

So ended up with some issues with this one. First for the brand. The sticker sheet was folded sharply into the book which had never happened before and it did manage to fully or partially cut a couple of the bigger stickers. Disappointed, but not the end of the world. O was also missing a piece but had one from my stash that was close enough in color that it's not really noticeable (and partially hidden).

This does come with a stand that is ok, but not great. The biggest issue with it is if you want to remove the mech from it you have to take out a pin that is a bit of a pain to get to. Still, points for supplying a stand.

Good instructions and packaging like usual with High Godo, with the one exception being the sticker issue. Bags are all numbered (12 in total which seems to be the case with all of this series).

As noted there are about 50 stickers. While I usually don't have much of an issue with them, these were a bit excessive and there are 4 really big ones for the wings that are a challenge to apply due to their size. I really think splitting them in half would have been a much better design even though it would have made a seam.

This comes with a pretty cool mini fig. Like usual the cockpit is easy to access.

All joints are tight with only the knee joints being really hard to adjust. This again uses the pistons on the ankles and torso.

I like the wings and all the various ways they can be positioned. We get the new designed hands which are really nice.

I'm not a huge fan of the weapon. It's just a little on the bland side.

This is probably being projected as a stealth mech, but the orange highlights don't really fit then. Give me more of the translucent pieces or change them to silver or black and I think it would look better, and fit the stealth theme more.


I like the set, but don't love it as much as the others. Definitely a good value still.

Overall I would say 7.75 out of 10.

I like the rockets, but the rest of the orange pieces just feel out of place.

Profile pic. The gun doesn't have quite the pop the other mechs had.

Our pilot. The visor is a cool touch.

So here is one of the damaged stickers. Thankfully the other damaged one is the same sticker for the opposite wing. This is the one that was only partially cut. They were so bloody big it took multiple tries to get them on strait, so ironically the damaged ones were easier to apply.

Group picture time! The tan one, O.K.Boomer, is still my favorite.

Decided to display the over the fireplace. You'll notice that Gipsy Danger is missing. That's because moving everything over he decided to fall and even though I caught him, pieces went EVERYWHERE!!! So now I'm waiting for glue to dry :)

There's also a new Mech you haven't seen yet in this picture. Can you spot it?

A tip for applying stickers: wet the piece in soapy water first. The sticker will float on the mixture and let you adjust it, then when you've got it where you want you can hold it down and push the water out from under it (start in the middle and push outward to avoid trapping bubbles, and old credit card can work as a squeegee). This is how I apply kapton tape to my glass 3D printer bed and it also works for stickers/vinyl.

I'm loving the orange on the Blue Thunder Beetle!

I finally got notified that my Cobra Rattler shipped today.

Only one year and 10 days after I first ordered it.

The lighting really doesn't show how dark that blue is. Had they gone more of a navy blue I think it would look more fitting.
 


I'm not much of a statue afficionado, but these are just art.

Collector dolls sell for more. And once you have one you can sell them for at least double down the line. They have a pretty good resell market.

It's gonna be a tough sell to my wife to get that Hot Toys Agent Venom to pair with this^ :)

I'm loving the retro box art on this one. I have an obsidian Norrin Radd (male) surfer that has Thor's hammer also.
 
^ Didn't know anyone else here reads the Skybound GI Joe comic, I'm assuming it is since I only read half of the first six issue compilation and pre-ordered the 2nd and 3rd.

Was open to buying Raptor, but not after seeing the MCU Vulture style wings.

Yeah, I'm loving the series. I love the wings as I'm a fan of the MCU Vulture also.
