at least now my disappointment will be less when she arrives. I read she is 5", maybe I can make her into that DC Giganta
Project Civilian
- Thread starter Meddatron
- Start date
The old Fisher Price adventure people line from the late 70's early 80's has some good civilians, if you don't mind the 5poa.
I've seen this figure before, in a set that now costs $50+. I saw him again yesterday in one of those new Animal Planet sets for $10!
If this doesn't look like director Peter Jackson before he lost all that weight, I don't know what does.
Best of all, the set he comes with also has a movie camera with tripod! The figure I saw looked pretty much the same except I think his vest was a different color and there was no print on his shirt.
Put a beer in one hand and a metal detector in the other and he'd look like a beach comber!

Crafts 2000 has 3.75 civilians and public safety (police officer and fireman) but they have no articulation. I use them as background fillers. They even have a Airline Pilot in uniform and a mail carrier. When my kids set up their Joe city in the living room they use them for people standing around. They work pretty good for that. I want to get some of the police figures and paint them as uniform secret service officers.
It is in a TRU Animal Planet Set...has a 4 wheeler and a baby rhino or elephant. I got that set for my nephew for his birthday a month or so ago...has a video camera on a tripod and a telephoto camera too...maybe a lantern??? Cannot recall. I have a beard and wear a floppy hat frequently...so he said the figure is Uncle Matt...guess I better slim down some more.

I have been forgetting to look at the animal planet stuff at TRU. I guess I know what I will be looking for today. I could use that guy and cam on tri pod for a few pics I need to take.
Lotta useful stuff there...the tripod seems a tad too big, but the camera could work for Hollywood type stuff...
Of course this plays right into the thread about buying stuff I don't need...but I gots ta have it!!

Mega Bloks Plasma Kreaps, it's a line that came out a long time ago, like 4-5 years or so.
Slaymaker has it right. And I haven't bought this myself, but I will.
That's what I have Marketing Viper and Media Viper for... but only if they get approval from MBA Viper and Accounting Viper.
I have casts available if that helps??

(yes, the irony of her casting color is not lost on me)
I have it... somewhere. I know I bought that set years ago, just for the camera. But that was before I was doing anything useful with my life, like casting...
You know what, I have that head and I bought it from you...
The damn lens is a little too big on that camera otherwise it looks ok , but if anyone needs a movie camera, I have the one from the DVD pack I could send off to be cast if Geek doesn't have it.
I didn't find that camera, have to do more looking... but I found this one. Not sure where it came from but it's a bit smaller and more realistic IMO

Speaking of the Popco Harry Potter figs, I found a Chinese eBay seller with these:
Luna Lovegood: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Harry-Potter-3-75-action-figure-loose-Luna-/350816494420?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item51ae4ae354
Ginny Weasley: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Harry-Potter-3-75-action-figure-loose-Ginny-Weasley-/380651086742?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item58a092a396
I ordered a few of each for fodder. I've seen headswaps on Joe bodies before, so they'd make good female additions to the team.

They arrived yesterday, and as I suspected they appear to be factory rejects with crappy or nonexistent face paint. Explains why they were so cheap. Still, it's nothing I can't fix with a little repainting of my own.

Thanks, that will save me some money.
