YT's 1/6 Scale Thread: Sideshow Joes & Stuff

[Keenan]

I got him today. Very cool. I put him on the same level as Stalker and Dusty.

 

[YT1]

I saw your pics on SSF, they are great! You should post your HISS tank over there, it is so cool.

 

[Keenan]

I'm waiting to get further along with it.

 

[SR_501]

I am so tempted to buy one of Sideshows figures and Falcon looks really good to pick up. I just can't do it. I would have to get the Viper too..

What figure would you guys recommend to pick up as your first Sideshow figure?

 

[YT1]

Viper, Zartan or Rock N Roll are the best IMO. Not coincidentally they are the newest. Duke is still one of my favorites and can be had reasonably.

 

[YT1]

Problem is, upon being close contact with one, you'll be exposed to the Sideshow virus. Once infected and is nearly impossible to go back.

His SF patch is upside down

What's your opinion on Flint?

 

[Keenan]

I always liked the Cobra Trooper. He's usually around $100.

 

[YT1]

What's your opinion on Flint?

Although he is one of if not my favorite joe, he is probably the weakest Sideshow Joe figure. Load out is light, gear is weak and portrait is odd.

 

[Midget]

Ouch, thanks for the info. Unless they come up with a Wetsuit, Gung-Ho, or Leatherneck, I guess my money is safe

 

[Keenan]

Duke is still my favorite as well. Just something really neat about him.

 

[YT1]

I put the exclusive Zartan head on him and he looks just about perfect.

 

[Keenan]

I want Skiman to do a repaint for me.

 

[YT1]

His SF patch is upside down

Yep, just like the original figure.

 

[YT1]

It's been a good month, look who showed up today:

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Does he have an optional head?...or better yet, the face peels off?!

 

[YT1]

He's got a badass Redskull alt head and leather trench. I gotta pick up a couple things and I'll have 2 for 1.

 

[YT1]

I got the Hot Toys SDCC Rescue Captain America in the collection today, he is great!

 

[Fled74]

Awesome scores, man. Jealous!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nice!...have you seen that hot toys Avengers dio?...it's amazing...it REALLY like the Hulk figure

 

[YT1]

Yes, it is very cool! I wish Had the space and money to get the Avengers line.

 

[YT1]

Got my Exclusive Viper put together today:

With the regular Viper:

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Too cool...yer gonna need a squad to look right...pick up 3 more

 

[YT1]

Too cool...yer gonna need a squad to look right...pick up 3 more

1 viper = 2 troopers ~ 2 vipers = 1 squad
viper=total badassery

[Keenan]

After swapping out the knee pads, and boots I like the Viper much more. The Cobra Troop is still my favorite. I wish I had picked up another.

 

[K-Tiger]

Too cool...yer gonna need a squad to look right...pick up 3 more

He's gonna need 7-11 more for a squad.

 

[YT1]

I got the shelf up for my GI Joe Arashikage Temple display, now I need to build an acrylic cover so I can get the ninjas in it!

 

[YT1]

Started working on my custom Sgt Slaughter yesterday:

At ease disease.

 

[Bravestarr]

Very nice Vipers and Dojo set-ups!

SSgt Slaughter also looks great!

 

[Keenan]

Slaughter is off to a good start.

 

[YT1]

First time painting a 1/6 face:

Oops!

Let's try this again, with primer this time...

 

[YT1]

Sarge needs some swagger:

Now he's found it.

Now to paint the metal like wood and the plastic like metal and we'll be stylin!

 

[YT1]

Getting closer:

 

[YT1]

Got the acrylic cut and mocked up the cover for my Ninja Temple. *Need to polish the edges and glue it up.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Dang that's a nice dio display...very classy!

And Sarge looks like he's coming along really nicely...

 

[YT1]

Thanks Eddie, this is my first time painting a face like this. The temple environment is HUGE, I hope this all works.

 

[YT1]

Got the acrylic cut and mocked up the cover for my Ninja Temple. *Need to polish the edges and glue it up.

Spent the afternoon polishing seams and gluing it up.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Honestly, not that exciting

 

[YT1]

Come on Eddie, you don't like watching glue dry...
