Hi i fix my M3 BD by spray painting it. It is easy if u have a spray brush. Here are the steps:

1. remove legs and had. clean the affected area using some polishing compound/cloth. I use tamiya polishing compound fine. this is to remove the oxidation... just rub rub abit, then clean it of with damp and dry cloth/tissue.
2. Mask the area that u dun wan to paint. I use tamiya masking tap for the edges and cheap tape for the rest after making sure it is not so sticky by sticking and removing it on my pants...
3. Mix Tamiya clear acrylic red with mr leveling thinner (for smoother result) ration 40:60 or 30:70. Then mix some Tamiya clear blue to darken around 10-15% ratio.
4. Put into your spray brush and spray paint a couple of coat (make sure the air pressure is not too high, i use quite low). Spray a few coats letting it dry in between coats for a while.
5. Let it dry for 24 hour or more in dust free enviroment. remove mask and reassemble and display.

End result is pretty good, prob can be better if the u sepnd more time experimenting on the ratio or mix some clear green and u can also use other clear acrylic red and blue e.g. mr color, etc... not sure if lacquer paint will work as it lacquer paint may affect the initial paint....

I believe the best way is to completely remove the initial paint, prime it with proper primer, spray paint white or silver and coat with the mix clear colours... but alot of work. the above method onlt requires about 1 hour.

I dun know how to attach pic here. If someone can teach me i can put up some pics to show how it is done....

Here u go:

Actually from near can see color diff between HT n spray paint. HT is darker....

I think the paint is quite strong but not as strong as HT paint cos I remember dropping iron man head before from quite high up no scratch at all. so if u dun purposely scratch it should b ok.

To answer another question about bending, if normal bending should b ok. Those aggressive twist prob not recommended.

I would like to order Iron Monger from XL mid valley. Jus wondering how is their service like. Never made any large purchase from them before. But quite interested in the point system they have which can b use to exchange cash voucher. Anyone can provide some input on this?

I personally think this figure is freaking awesome! This year really crazy with all this awesome figure. Wonder when will they release bat mobile....

Tq hot toy for letting me complete my ayam man collection

Wonder if it will be like Mark 4 reissue ie with some kind of enviroment. anyway getting this for sure!

"as well as more value added accesories" means more $$$ to pay

hope it would be less than rm700.

HT milking ayam man fan

1/4.... More expensive plastic to buy....

Anyone hav any idea on how to get the milkmmachine?

At this point of time Sideshow only accept Bankers Draft from Malaysia. Money order such as western union have not try but understand it won't work cos they not willing to go to western union to collect the cash...

Easy way is to buy bank draft and post using registered mail/pos laju. So far i tired registered mail and poslaju (expensive so it would be a good idea to share the cost among a few person whom also need to make payment) no problem. Just let them know you are paying using Bankers Draft and they will hold the item for you. Their customer service is pretty good.

Another thing is chances are there will be some box damage as they send hot toys item in the brown shipper it comes with and no additional packing. there is option for better packing but need more $$$. So far got mine ok for the IM secret project... but saw some Sideshow freak forumers with quite badly damage box...

For those that are interested in getting RE Alice Toy Wiz is selling at offer price RM460 I think..... Not sure cos I didn't get. Also on offer is HT Goblin I think around same price wif Alice.

Stock clearance ?? tempted to get but decided not to cos got so many pre-order on hand n other soon to be launch figure.... already overspend....

The carrier bag looks nice, wonder why Msia shops dun get?

Thanks for the info. A bit too troublesome to order from Singapore....

Around rm116, just received mine.

Me too, the protoytpe looks so much more better.....

HT QC seems to be dropping lately... hopefully there are some improvement to latter batches...

I will get milk machine if it is easily available n price is right.

Latest news by Hottoys that milk machine will b available at local official distributor.

Nice, may get if budget permits....

Bro if u can recast Mark V head ie whole thing including the clear eyes n rubber thing inside head. I m interested in getting one unpainted if ok price.
