What's up with the lantern he comes with? I'm not too familiar with this character...I bought him purely for customizing. He's somewhat of a peg warmer...
HAHAHA that's a mace? wierd... I always thought a mace was more of a chain and spiked metal ball bearing.
It's a stubby, sad kind of mace. A mace is a weighted head attached to a shaft. A ball attached to a handle via a chain is a flail.Spikes may or may not be present on both types of weapon. When spikes are present they tend to be called a morning star/morgenstern.
KT.. saw this on "clearance" at walmart.. want me to snag it for you?
If K doesn't want it, I do! Even if that's the clearance price, you won't find one cheaper than that anywhere else, and you certainly won't find it at a retail store!
This Stargate will be roughly 1:18th scale. (The reported size of the actual Stargate prop seams to vary so I based it off some pictures of the prop.)
It really makes you think... why the hell is that STILL there?!
Either:
A. It was somewhere in the warehouse side of the store
B. Hidden by an employee or a customer
C. A & B
I always ask them to check their inventory for things. Sometimes They write stuff up under shrink and then it turns up months, even years later. Other times, I'm right--they had what I was looking for that wasn't on a shelf or hook and it was in their inventory and had to go find it. Sometimes I force them find it if it shows up in their inventory.

Very Liberal Return policy.:lmao:
Because if they
enough, the cashier will give them store credit I just hope he got 1998 pricing on something that should not be in the system.
One of the Chinese eBay sellers was selling them in bulk for well under $10 each recently. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up again.
I cast up some more stuff:
BBI laptop, F118 backpack, Shock Trooper helmet, Shock Trooper riot shield, Dr. Jones Sr. diary, Team Bravo M4, Team Bravo shotgun, PIT Commando NVGs, ROC Baroness glasses (big thanks, KT!)
So I now have the cast head, helmet, mask, goggles, and riot shield for the Shock Trooper. If you look at in the right light you can see the "COBRA" name and insignia faintly on the shield.

Working on.... something. This is the first 1/18th figure I've done in a while. Waiting on primer to dry.
The sub in the background is a 1/700 Ohio-class SSBN, for those curious. That's for something entirely different

We demand pics!
Seriously, I've followed the conversation, but have no idea what the original arms look like, or how the mods fit in.

Just busted the fucking peg.
It's a Mouse shoulder disk. THe long and short is you pull the elbow peg, put in the shoulder piece, put your pin back in, cut off the joint piece of the upper arm and drill a hole. Put it all together and boom, swivel arm action!

I busted another joint and only have two left. Ain't gonna be pics of a damn thing.
Are you heating up the upper arm when you put the peg in (not the peg itself)? It makes a huge difference getting the right fit.
As soon as I can get a new dremel bit, I can do a quick tutorial.
