...Any Half Life fans in here?
Anyway, here's my current WIP for Mitchell from the infamous game Hunt Down the Freeman. I'm using the JoyToy Mould Colour Figure Kit A which in hindsight was kinda stupid of me since they're kinda fragile. Cheaper for me though because I don't have to deal with insanely high postage from the US. Like, look at how dynamic this thing can pose. After a quick dyejob in some RIT DyeMore Sapphire Blue and a super fast camo paintjob, he's come out lookin' like this! The head's a placeholder, by the way. ...but afterwards, when I tried to pose him a bit better, I noticed his hip joint was a way too loose on the left side. Warped after the dyejob. Urgh. I'm an idiot and should have dyed on a lower temp. After trying to thicken the ball and the socket to no avail, I pushed a bit too hard and... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF----- I literally wanted to cry. All the effort wasted. Fortunately I contacted the seller and they were like "NP fam, I'll hook you up with some replacement parts if you order something else from the store.", so I just bought another Mould Colour Figure Kit as well to army build into HECU troopers. Lockertoys will have my business till the day I die.

LONG NEEDED UPDATE:
Finally got the replacement parts in. Though I did have to end up using the thigh piece from the other mould colour figure I ordered... Honestly wasn't happy with the original torso having a blue collar and tac-vest over it, so I just split the difference and made the torso itself the tac-vest. The Antonio Banderas head sculpt should arrive soon, if I'm lucky - fingers crossed Auspost doesn't lose it like they lost the 50 vintage figure stands I ordered ages ago. >.>
