It seem that I am close to beating a dead horse here , but no one has mentioned the Fighting 1/18th exclusive figure or maybe the Acid Rain figure as a base.
Would either one of these work ?
Are the Fighting 1/18 figure kits still available ?

Not to mention the fact that what I came up with already (kit-bashed, etc), is about as close as you're going to get, imo... without major sculpt work. Yes, you'll have to put some work into it, but the parts are there.
But hey... here's an idea. Start your own thread for this shit, instead of ignoring/dismissing my custom as a viable design while drilling everyone for ideas on what to use to make your own - for the sole purpose of overcharging $ for them.
Nothing personal, but that's rude as shit to me.

Ideally you'd want something you could get a lot of, the 118th figures would not work for a number of reasons, the Acid Rain figures are expensive, and I don't know how easily all those joints and parts etc would be replicated. I think each figure is $20 or something as is.
If you're going for not super articulation you could maybe use an Indiana Jones figure as the base? I haven't looked at them in a while, but they should be cheap. Or some other figure line that wasn't very popular and went clearance.
Really ?
This thread died over 2 years ago.
You should thank me for bringing it back .
Not this little nugget of kindness .
The rude one is you.
But not to worry this is the last time I will post on your beloved 2 year old thread .
Were does all of this hostility come from ?
It does seem to me that the fighting 1/18th figure came from pieces scrounged from other figures .
Nothing original about it.
Just copied from other pieces parts.
Asking for advice or suggestions in someones thread is one thing. Turning in into your own sounding board for something you want to make and sell to your collector buddies, while seemingly acting like my figure isn't good enough for you, or them... is another thing. That's where I get the rude vibe.
118th fig, really? So me using base parts and scuplting over them makes it "unoriginal"? Gotcha.
If I were to be rude to you, I might say something like "You might want to stick to your vehicles and armor kits, since from what I've seen, your custom figures are severely lacking".
And the last time I've checked, your threads get buried quite often and quickly. Unlike you, who opens threads 99% of the time for promoting items to sell, I open threads 99% of the time to show my current project and let it run it's course. So if a thread of mine is "old and buried", so be it. Doesn't bother me.
Now... go start your own WW1 figure thread, and good luck with that.

My Dear Obi,
I thought I was away from this but you sucked me back in.
I am sure that you do NOT know how to read .
Never once did I say anything negative about you or your toys until you started first.
Then of course I had to react.
This trend seems to be popular here lately on this forum.
I was merely asking about information / advice that I knew nothing about and figure that I would ask you because you do .
Then you snapped.
Apparently you do not liked being asked questions and take offence from people who do.
So take your figures lay them on the ground and my vehicles will roll over the top of them.
If I do go through and develop a WW1 line you do not need to look at ,comment or ask any questions , because I will act just as you have in this 2 year old post.
Go back read the previous posts that I have made and you can see where you flipped out for no apparent reason .
Now after you read all of the posts go stand in the corner you are now in" time out " .
You're punished

lol, dis thread.
Obi, love the kit bashes on the first page, the gray one I think is the best with the legs strapped up, that looks legit.
IMO the ww2 figs from BBI / Unimax / 21st Century are pretty shit, artic sucks and the sculpts are not the best, even when they are meant to be representing WW2.
My Personal opinion for a british WW1 Soldier would be:
25th Recondo head
marauders 7 pack Falcon body
and the kit bashed legs in your first post (with the white straps)
I reckon that would be cool Mate

Man, is there a full-site-moon this month or something? My bday was last week.. this can't be blamed on me!
Ugh...
Why do people instantly jump on "you're being hostile" if you say anything to them?
Pickel,
I very clearly stated why I thought the conversation turned into what I saw as rude to me. If you can't see, or understand that... I can't help you.
And fixating on the fact that this thread is/was 2 yrs old isn't doing you any favors. Everyone (except newer guys) here has threads that are 2 yrs old and dead, including you. What's your point? Surely you're not implying that a 2 yr old thread means that the thread sucked, or held no interest from anyone. Should I go dig up yours?
Look man... you could have started your own thread for this from get-go, instead of piggy-backing mine for your marketing research. I mean... if you're going to make this stuff to sell to your collector buds, then why not ask them what they'd want?
Carry on.

No one here sent me a Christmas card last year
NSA It is in the mail.
Obi , Boo hoo your post got hijacked.
Almost every post on this forum has deviated from its original subject.
You should know this to be true.
It happened to this one .
Get over it , I have already.
Please GOD stop crying .
I will now leave you alone or does somebody need a hug ?
BTW
Yes indeed my Christmas card list is getting shorter and shorter.
And remember Santa does not deliver presents to children who whine .
Holy SHIT Pickel, do you ever just shut the fuck up? You're never at fault, we get that. If you were really over it, you'd stop fucking replying. I know it's a difficult concept for you, being wrong, when the majority of people on another site just want to suck your dick. No one here wants to, dude.
Just stop.
Just stop.
No body asked you anything .
Keep the fuck away from this you turd.
After this I should stop ?
Why should I stop ?
As long as he continues so can I.
And I guess I should stop now after you have thrown gas on the fire.
I guess this post will soon disappear as well.
XO do you kiss your beloved ones with that foul mouth ?

I'll go wherever I want, fuckwit. You don't have any authority here. You're not worth a runny shit as far as this site is concerned.
For someone who keeps saying they're done replying, you certainly keep on jumping back on in. It's like you can't help yourself. Gotta make sure everyone knows that you're right. Everyone needs to apologize to you. Everyone needs to thank you. You never see it when you're being rude or disrespectful.
And yes, I'm sure you'll go right ahead and turn this around on me, too, just like you're trying to do to Obi. This is your fault. You don't know when to stop. You busted the newbie's balls about his choice of words for fuck's sake, just as you were basically suggesting that Obi's work wasn't good enough.
I will add this, no, you should stop because a fucking mod told you to. While I am happy to let things continue under normal circumstances, you are being a disruption.
Start your own fucking thread. Complain about me in there if you want, I don't care. Don't post in this thread again until you learn how to behave.
Pickel, I honestly think you should just let this one go. Not worth drumming up drama on this site. Especially on 1)someone else's thread and 2) an old one at that.
There are many ways on this site to express your frustration as well as reach out for suggestions for new products you want to make.
Now you've achieved more than anyone ever dreamed, but fighting these odds it looks like rage, not courage.
Ok, that last one was from Braveheart, but it's a good movie with lots of good one liners.

TL; DR
What'd I miss?
Nevermind I don't really care. I thought Obi had updated his figures and came to check them out, only to be disappointed.

:lmao::lmao::lmao:
TOY RAGE....:lmao:
Can't belive it guys. There are a few great custom makers all over the Joe fan base..and 2 of them got in such a situation. Common guys...just try to understand each other and thats it. Dont be rude...this forum made by guys who wants to spend their time with their hobby full of fun and respect. Just lets do the same.
Back to topic: never were involved in collecting anything about WW1...but honestly Obi - your custom figure looks pretty good =)
This whole thing got blown WAAAY out of proportion. I never meant for any of what I said to get that crazy, but that's where it went - but it's OVER. So if everyone can just let that nonsense go, myself AND Pickel would appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Just to be safe this doesn't get bought up anymore, and the thread was old and busted per Obi, I'm gonna lock it so it goes down faster than Eddie on a sweaty Vag.
