I am trying to collect complete set of dreadnoks. Is there any pictures available of the whole team? anyone with extras wanted to let go please let me know.
I am looking forward to the new iron grenadier! another army builder for me.

Latest version of Storm Shadow looks skinny and the eyes not fierce looking enough. Still, it is a very nice figure. rclxms.gif

figure scale comparison.
Always thought it will look oversized but surprisingly, it works really well with joe figures.

My POC Mega Haul has arrived !  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif
This completes my wave 3 and wave 4 needs .
I'm not getting wave 3 Duke and SS as I've decided not to collect every POC figure ,no thanks to the crappy upcoming waves 5 and 6.

impressive! drool.gif
you are army building everything. why only one shadow tracker? hmm.gif

look forward to more of your reviews and please show more of those shock trooper. i need inspiration to build an army of shock troopers. tongue.gif

I wanted to try painting (spray) a vehicle black and maybe paint some details on the vehicle. may I know what is the best way to go about doing it?
do I need to use the expensive airbrush? also how to prevent any bubbles and how to 'seal' the paint?

really hope fellow sifus can help me here.

I can't help you much coz painting vehicles is not my area of specialty.
However, from what I'd been told, you dont need expensive airbrush.Just purchase a can of black spray (not the Arrow brand though) say Mr Hobby or Mr Color or Citadel.
As for preventing bubbles ,just apply 2-3 light layers of paint instead of 1 heavy concentrated layer.
For sealer, there's Mr Hobby Topcoat which costs about RM40-50 a can.I think there's 2 types of sealer ,gloss or dull coat.Hope this helps.

As for my Squad Leader, the shotgun shells are painted by me.

thank you for the tips, right now I will need to go find me some spray paint.

what about painting figures? do you use Tamiya paint + brush, that's all?
I wanted to try painting some vipers I bought red and black like the convention exclusive version.

anyway, here is pic of the day, comrade Red Star accompanied by a group of Russian soldiers.

Yup,that's what i use.
Didn't occur to me that those IJ WW2 Russian soldiers are compatible with the 80's Oktober Guard.Giving them modern rifles should do the trick.
Speaking of WW2, here's a little spam ,taken a while back.

you got some many sets! those are really cool, only managed to grab 3 myself. tongue.gif

talking about painting figures, will the paint wear off with frequent play? really tempted to start painting figures so I could just buy anything and paint them black and red. laugh.gif

here's pic of the day, mixing of different line of toys, star wars and gijoe.

The Iron Grenadier troops also look like those WW2 Nazi stormtroopers. Cant wait for the upcoming one which comes with the smart gun (from ALIENS) and para-viper pack.

This round, villainous BATS triumphs over the EMPIRE.. cry.gif


The BATS are good, came with many weapons and interchangeable arms. And the Heroes and Villains box version of BAT comes with a battle-damaged head. thumbup.gif

Hey nice BATS, do you happen to have any extra resolute red trooper for sale? tongue.gif

QUOTE(darkshadow @ Mar 16 2011, 03:51 PM)
I wanted 10 but only managed to get 7.  sad.gif

For painted figures ,my suggestion is to leave them in a fixed pose and for display purpose only.
Using sealer will provide extra protection against paint chipping but even the best sealer wont protect against deep scratches, accidental or otherwise.

And when you start painting those shoulder, elbows and knee joints ,then you'll realise it's a b**th coz the paint will ALWAYS peel off when moving the joints.

So ,now Joeverse is also mixed with SW ,eh?Sorta like the current IDW crossover comics event, Infestation.

Welcome to the Joe thread.
Yeah ,BATs are easily one of the best trooper types and Hasbro did justice to their 25th version.
Looks like Stormies are no match for the BATs.  biggrin.gif

By the way, i don't recall an upcoming para-viper pack. care to elaborate further?

This is BAD news! so it is basically impossible to replicate the original factory work then? sweat.gif

Ah, you are referring to POC Wave 6 IG.
Here's a little spam.

those are really cool. I think this Destro color scheme is better than the POC Iron Grenadier.

QUOTE(FunkyMonkiBaby @ Mar 16 2011, 07:59 PM)
COOL! icon_idea.gif Is this IG figure officially released? Sadly KL PJ area dun get these Joes anymore. Even the toyshops i frequent claim supplier no longer offer them basic Joe figures.

I am so sad as well cant buy any wave 3 and wave 4 locally.

here is pic of the day.

Saw this very awesome-looking Abrams at TRU...

RC tank, but the details are quite fantastic...

At RM249.90, I wonder if it's worth it?

hmm.gif
underscale. and you dont really need the R/C function.
let me know if you are interested in getting the BBI Abrams. planning to do a bulk of sort. around RM120 per tank. brows.gif

Impressive! How many Shock troopers you plan to get? laugh.gif

New haul!  thumbup.gif

More Dusty

Alley Viper Officers- Will convert half for spare parts and the remaining will lead the AVs

Alley Vipers- Will keep these in MISB condition for the foreseeable future.Two other MISB AVs are not pictured.

Alley Viper Army-My updated AVs ,not including those MISBs above.The POC AV is the single most trooper type I have ever collected ,in my entire toy collection.  sweat.gif
I doubt there'll be an encore.

And lastly,a pair of non Joe hotties.
*
That's more than 50 of them Alley Vipers! rclxms.gif more than any of us here!
Just wondering why some of those are not Alley Viper stands? hmm.gif
