That doesn't look like it would take the weight to me. Detolfs weigh like 80 pounds. It looks like it's made to extend height by attaching on top, not to raise the main unit. I was probably mixing it up with something else. I googled and the example I was thinking of was using Expedit cubes. The Expedit line has been replaced with Kallax and doesn't seem to have the sturdier cubes anymore though.

That's only rated for 45kg. Detolfs are like 35kg each. They always undersell the weight capacity for liability, but I don't know if I'd risk that long term without reinforcing the shelf somehow.

The riser I was talking about was basically a box that perfectly matched the bottom of the detolf which it sat under supporting the weight. Then there was an outer box that when the detolf was seated on the inner box the outer one covered the sides of the detolfs base keeping it from moving off the inner box. It was a DIY job but as I recall someone said that Ikea made a drawer that you could drop the detold on top of that did the same thing. Yeah the one in that video is something thats very common and there isnt a 'right riser' for exactly, its just putting your detolf on top of a cabinet. People do it with the besta living room storage thing and those cube shelves. It works well but its not the weight limit I'd be concerned with its making sure its not going to fall off if bumped.

A quick search fails me but there's a dude who sells custom made Detolf risers with options like insignias and symbols cut into them and they are gorgeous. Still looking for his FB page.

I need some money rather urgently, would there be any interest in my one and only Hot Toys figure, Agent Coulson? Literally never opened the outer box. I'm based in the UK, but I'm in the US next week.

Shops in Singapore started taking preorders yesterday for Black Series Greivous, Kenobi, WetHead Luke and the rocket trooper for expected April release. I had the impression from the NYCC press and such that Kenobi was going to be like a year away still, so pretty excited about this. If anyone else catching up on black series is not sure whether to wait for the archive releases or not here's a lousy picture I took of bespin leia with those which came before. Shows pretty clearly the quality differences in face paint and such over the years:  My first reaction when hearing about the archive series was that I'm glad they'll be more easily obtainable for people who don't have them yet but that I wasn't up for re-buying the figures. But after seeing how great hasbro has done this year I'm onboard now for all the do-overs. Also I must add that I will buy anything and everything Figuarts ever makes with the words Cowboy and Bebop on it.

I never realized how off the scale was on that Boussh figure. Seconding how great that Bespin Leia is, the face is fantastic. I just wish they’d done the Bespin gown instead, since the upcoming Hoth Leia is almost identical aside from the hair, vest, and boots.

https://www.facebook.com/GeeWhiz.Customs/videos/177295553197582/ This is weird, but kind of cool. It's a 1/6 figure stand that you can load sounds into that play with a button. Doesn't seem to be much bigger than a regular stand either.

Has anyone ever ordered from AliExpress? Is it safe? What's the best way to pay, since they don't seem to accept Paypal? I'm eyeing a One:12 Daredevil that is 100% a KO, but for $30, it's tempting. Has anyone else ever taken a chance on one of those?

Aliexpress is reliable. The vendors on it are not always. But Aliexpress will take care of you if something doesn't show.

I dont have the detolfs, I have the Fabricors which have metal frames so they are easier to move without worrying so much about breaking glass. They come with a lock pre-installed.  Not mine, mines grey. Theres also another fabrikor thats taller and thinner like the detolf.

I just wish they’d done the Bespin gown instead, since the upcoming Hoth Leia is almost identical aside from the hair, vest, and boots. Yeah I wanted the bespin gown more too but hopefully hasbro will do it, seems like a fairly easy retool. I display Boussh with Jabba and the other bounty hunters so it only jumped out to me how out of scale it was too when I took the picture. The dude who's really out of scale though is Jango, if you take his helmet off and pose him with any others he looks like one of those DKR figures mattel made on MOTUC bucks relative to the other black series crew. Speaking of MOTUC, I just pre-ordered the Club Greyskull ultimate HeMan, Skeletor and She Ra from BBTS. MOTUC was along with TVC my single favorite toy line as an adult, but I quit being a completest after I missed Shadow Weaver. I think the last figure I got was Shokoti, only now realized that was five years ago! Didn't realize it had been that long. Anyway, I'd dearly wanted the filmation He-Man but missed him on release and narrowly talked myself out of spending about 200+ on it back in January. I escaped that misfortune by convincing myself super7 would surely reissue it and now they are! So I'm ridiculously excited to be getting me some HE-MAN'S again. Of course this also means next year is going to be about me catching up on all the filmation figures I didn't get in the last year and a half...

So what's the draw of the MOTU? Is it that people had the toys and now don't, that they didn't have all the toys, or that they just want to have them on cards again? I have all the original MOTU toys, playsets, etc at least through the middle of the Horde. Do people collect the old ones much or do they want these new ones?

My vintage MOTU collection consists of exactly one (1) Modulok. But I have about 30 MOTUC figures, and I’ve bought about one per year for the last few years. The biggest problem with MOTUC is that figure standards have evolved a lot since MOTUC first started. When it started, single-jointed hinged elbows and knees were standard. So was a lack of thigh swivels. I remember being blown away by how articulated the first wave of MOTUC was. Now they just seem kind of sad and outdated compared to any given Marvel Legends or Dragonball figure at Walgreens. I got a Super 7 MOTUC Mer-man and Sorceress from BBTS today. Mostly because I loving love Mer-man and I failed to get a Sorceress the first time around. I don’t regret it, but it’s pretty hard to imagine ever buying another MOTUC figure until they retool or remake their molds for the actual real year 2018.

Most MOTUC figures have thigh swivels. The only ones that don’t are on the “2.0” female body. For some reason when they released the original She-Ra people complained that she couldn’t ride her horse. The reason for this was that her skirt’s plastic was too hard, but Mattel thought instead they needed to take away the thigh swivel. Anyways, yes, for the most part MOTUC articulation is outdated. However Super7 has been good about adding Marvel Legends ankles and wrist hinge-swivels. Just those two make a huge difference. Super7 has their issues as well, they’ve made the tolerances on the neck joints way too tight. Head swapping is mostly a thing of the past and range of head movement isn’t great. All that said MOTUC is one of my favorite lines ever. For better or worse they’ve combined so many eras of Masters into one uniform toy line: Vintage, Princess of Power, New Adventures, Filmation, 2000 MOTU, and even prototypes that never happened. It’s an amazing collection.
