went check out some reviews, all saying snake eyes wave3 is awesome. maybe i need one of him then.. tongue.gif

currently 6 red troopers, 5 alley vipers. 

by the way TRU is marking down the quick kick and spirit. Also, any idea when will they have the RM250, free RM40 voucher thingy? I miss the round on November hmm.gif

There ya go.Needed more convincing before deciding on getting one ,eh?
Good numbers there on the army build up. thumbup.gif

The pricing for the POC TRU Exc still aren't attractive .I am hoping for price reduction to RM10-RM15.
And yes ,those figs are still cramming up the Joe section ,or whatever is left of it ,which is pitiful.

Pretty neat huh?Transformable HA AWE Striker.
I love the HA gimmick which reminds me fondly of M.A.S.K.
I own HA BB and HA Jazz ,both the best in the line IMO ,though Sideswipe is pretty awesome too.
Sorry OOT. biggrin.gif

hehe, mine just's a modest collection.
it seems that most Joe collectors on LYN own at least 4-5 AVs by now, perhaps more.
mine's still at 6 currently.

wave 3...hopefully early to mid January ,no more delays Hasblow!

kerberos ,i like the shot of SE taking cover behind RHINO .can you provide more shots ,maybe of AVs and other Cobra troopers flanking the RHINO.perhaps with some wounded Joes and dead Cobras.make it a dio,bro. biggrin.gif

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Wow ,another year had passed and while last year ,the craze was on ROC ,this year, it's been rather slow moving.
For the 1st half of the year, there wasn't any new arrivals but at least TRU did marked down the pricing for ROC stuff.
Am glad to grab PIT for RM 125 back in April. biggrin.gif

Oh well ,here's hoping wave 3 will be available at local toy shops anytime this month.


Grabbed a few figs bought in 2010 for a quick shot to signify the end of 2010.
Well, these guys are the ones that's within my arm's reach.

This is the Alley Viper version, for urban warfare.

Although there's been complaints earlier on by LYN Joe collectors about how it's hard to troop build AVs ,you and cranx have managed to increase your collection substantially ,which is awesome . thumbup.gif

I'm on the finishing touches step for my new custom .Will post it soon.

Here's my new custom for the new year.
May I present the Crimson Guard zombie.

I love zombies ,the gorier they are ,the better.
Anyway ,I've been wanting to do a zombie custom for a while now .
I had fun doing this that I'm gonna dig into my spare parts pile and find my next to be zombified figure . brows.gif

wow, that's impressive! it's not just swapping heads & changing body parts, but u did 'modified' it too. care to share some tips & tricks on how u 'zombified' ur figures? (i guess u burn them a bit eh?) brows.gif

an army of zombies versus an army of AVs & STs... owh my, that would be nice too... lol
*
thanks. yeah ,this custom involves more than part swapping. in fact, there's no part swapping.
but there's lots of carving, cutting, painting and sanding involved.and no, i didnt burn it at all.

i agree, an army of zombies would be great.hmm, better get started with the next zombie.heh.

nice custom there! gruesome exposed guts, brain and bones.
what happened to this crimson guard? some secret cobra experiment gone wrong?  tongue.gif

by the way, where can I get some nice ready made diorama building in 1/18th scale? I know 21st century toys produced some destroyed buildings for WW2 diorama, but discontinued long time ago and impossible to find. Power Team Elite also got a huge one but not available in our local toy shops.  doh.gif

planing to do an urban battle scene but not enough skills to make one from scratch.
*
Thanks.yeah rather gruesome but that's the beauty of it.
The CG happens to be one that i bought loose, sans helmet and accesories and I was gonna dump him inside my discarded box.Watched The Walking Dead pilot few days ago and I remembered about getting a zombie custom done.
Hence ,complete zombified CG is born. biggrin.gif

For dios ,it's best to DIY .It can be cheaper ,depending on what material you'll be using but it'll probably be time consuming, again depending on the scale and complexity of the dio.
Like dzirhan suggested, you can mostly find what you need from hardware stores and also from stationery shops.

you gave me some ideas, thanks!
still, custom make needs a lot of time and effort.
and the end result might not be sturdy enough for me to play. laugh.gif
Cant wait to see your next custom zombie.
I will check out some hardware storez soon, currently i plan to buy styrofoam, cement, and collect some sands and rocks.
wish me success with building a city ruins. tongue.gif
good idea about the sketching part. my plan is a city ruins with a few joes fighting an army of cobras. cant afford the time though, might start after chinese new year holiday.
*
a city ruins is kinda huge project .i assume you'll also be making roads ?
i believe it'll turn out awesome..

will start on zombie real soon coz i have to finish up on another delayed custom first. smile.gif

SHIPWRECK & CARL DOC GREER marking down to RM19.90.

Shippy and Doc should be selling at RM10 each by now.

update
--------
Hasbro M'sia STILL haven't receive stocks of wave 3 ,yet...

Come on, bro… an army of zombies pls smile.gif Hmmm quick kick & spirit knife was seen as rm49.90 at TRU KLCC…. Wth???
Hahaha… u got me there, bro. was thinking to do the same dio too… with some ruins, cracked roads. Yeah2, the one Hasbro used to have (for the City Strike theme) is definitely a good example…

20 Shock troopers? Where to find that many meh…
*
an army of zombies?that's gonna take me a while ,probably a couple of months or so for 10-15 of them.
so we got here a couple of city dio-mizers.. biggrin.gif do show us your masterpiece once it's done ,kerberos and cranx.

QUOTE(cranx @ Jan 7 2011, 12:31 PM)
lol, even more expensive in KLCC tongue.gif
the price i checked was TRU one utama.

hey, faster make one diorama scene. maybe i can learn from you. tongue.gif

shock troopers should be easier to get, no?
though wave 2 seems to be quite scarce also. is the jungle viper still available in KLCC Isetan?
*
wave 3 assortment contains 3 STs per case ,and if you are an active scouter, 20 or more should be relatively easy to score.

i dont see what the hype on ST is all about.he's just another variation of SWAT /SDU.i would trade the riot shield for more accesories ,ie more pouches on the vest, pistol holster ,removable flash grenades,crowbar etc.

how about yourself? I see great customizing skills there with your zombie. a small diorama scene from you could be awesome looking. tongue.gif

strange enough, the main reason I like storm trooper is the shield, i love modern / sci-fi trooper with shields.
if only the uniform colour is black with some red highlights, less SWAT like. I will go crazy and build an army of 50.. tongue.gif
*
i have a dio in the making, small scale portable ,Cobra stuff.should be done soon.
i dont have storage space hence prevents me from creating larger scale dios.

it's easy to solve the ST color scheme.grab a bottle of black /matte black paint and you're all set.
myself, i'm gonna turn those ST into SWATs.God knows the Joes need more troopers.
and Shockwave /Shockblast will lead the SWATs.

those matte black paint count stand up to frequent play/posing? do I need to use some sealant to 'seal' the paint?
sorry I am complete noob interms of custom.
oh no...! getting difficult to find gijoes. maybe i will not be able to get a desirable number of shock troopers then. sweat.gif
looks like fabric clothing for all these troopers! a lot of time and patience needed. omg!
*
you need to apply a layer of top coating after painting the figure but it's optional .sometimes i used it especially if lots of painting is involved.
i used Citadel Purity Seal but you can also use Mr Hobby Flat or Clear Gloss (if you want a glossy finishing).

when there's a will , there's a way.hasbro receives new stock for TF and SW but not Joes.
we may have to "expand our horizon" in this case.

indeed, it's all fabric hand sewn for all 150 3 3/4" figures.insane,man!

This is my second 2011 custom .
Since the comic version of Bats had been made into the DCIH series, I wanted an articulated movie Dark Knight version .

My completed new custom ,which started around mid November last year .

POC / modern Shockwave

Shockwave is my second favorite Joe and last year, I did a Night Force SW custom but I also wanted an updated / modern version ,while retaining his ARAH appearance.
