Nodosaur posted:We’re not talking about a joint here. Yannow how the Kup/Dion/Orion Pax mold has removable limbs? The arm just falls off at the shoulder. Yes, like Joe Fisto and Phy said. There's no way to apply it wrong, unlike clear nail polish or superglue. Put floor polish anywhere on your plastic toys where you require some friction.

Joe Fisto already got you covered, but were you talking about this connection?  If so, then we were both talking about the same thing. When that connection is within tolerance and working as designed, it serves as the upper arm swivel as well as allowing you to pull the arm off for "ffffix me" action, so that's why I consider it a joint. Same goes for the similar connections on the legs.

No worries! Just a difference in how we categorize things, plus sometimes it's easier for me to communicate ideas visually. E: goddamn, I think that might be the coolest BM Silverbolt has ever been

Phy posted:Joe Fisto already got you covered, but were you talking about this connection? Yes, this! It works for "loose" weapons and accessories as well, Dabir could have used floor polish instead of cellophane tape, for instance (though that also works well if you haven't any floor polish around!)

Getting a new Bludgeon is cool but I would have been even happier if they had used the Tarn mold to give us a G1 style The Fallen figure

I wouldn't mind seeing Bludgeon repainted as Blastwave from RID2015 (who actually showed up a year before Bludgeon in the line).

I thought it was a custom, in which case I still had no illusions about being able to own it. I just thought it looked cool.

It's not that bright in person, but a collector-focused version might skew towards a more subdued color scheme:

Huh, look at that, I searched my emails and I also ordered a Brawn, mine's from In Demand Toys. I completely forgot and now I'm going to look silly because I just picked up Titans Return Tailgate and Earthrise Snapdragon off've eBay and I'll have too many robots to properly enjoy each one.

I watched Thew’s Unicron review, and I know the point of it is to show how the Haslab Unicron is Bad Actually, but I’m sorry but that thing looks awesome and I still want one

Yeah Haslab Unicron is great. All the complaints Thew offers are valid but also they don't matter in hand at all IMO

So a Gundam pen arrived at my door today. First up, youse who said it's just like any other pen, I don't know what you're talking about, this is a weird kind of tip that I've never seen before. And it's way broader than I was expecting, I think I ordered the wrong thing. But it's good enough to do the thing I wanted to do with it. First attempt went pretty well, actually. Bit of a smudge on the end of his nose but barely noticeable.  Second attempt I messed up like an absolute clown. I was trying to do the underside of the eyepieces because I'd accidentally done it on the other side and it bothered me that it wasn't symmetrical, my hand twitched, big blob on his face. Ugh.  Tried to do a bit of actual panel lining on one of Ironworks's ramps and that went horribly. Absolutely not thin enough to get in the lines, and when I tried to clean it up with a pencil eraser it just smeared everywhere and the eraser turned black. I eventually got it looking mostly presentable but man, I'm not trying that again.

That's probably what happened. I'd ask if there's some way to clean it up, but I don't want to gently caress it up any more than I have. This is acceptable.

On a positive note though, even if you do smudge it, it's perfectly on brand for the Junk lads so it doesn't really matter!

Nice idea, but I'll probably wind up painting half his entire face. I think today has taught me what I suspected all along, my hands aren't steady enough to begin with stuff like this.

you can also wipe off the marks while it's still wet. With gundam panel lining, I'll just run a thin grey / brown / black line inside the panel line, then fat-thumb along the same line and it'll be super clean, all within the recess
