Vortious Custom Cast Accessories

[Videoviper]

Just got my order & I am loving it all.

Vort hooked me up with guitars that were out of stock.

Will be building superman soon. Lots of 2 piece heads that really don't get the attention that they deserve.
I will need to take some detailed pictures of them

Yeah I couldn't believe I let the guitars run out on the site, so when you put that on there I had to hook you up w/ a couple.

As for the 2 piece heads I'm really kind of surprised at how over looked they are. Especially since I use the urethane rubber for the hair instead of just another color of plastic. It make the hair MUCH more flexible. I can't wait to see your pics.

12 New heads, 2 new sets of accessories, and a beast of a custom figure kit added.

Where was this when I was building my Herc-Bigger Boa 2 years ago?

Where was this when I was building my Herc-Bigger Boa 2 years ago?

I don't know I just got the head, and hands a few weeks back, and then I ordered the punching bag from an ebay seller at the suggestion of a buddy out in Malaysia.

Alright guys all of the basic heads have been reduced to $3, and several others have been reduced by $1. This has been a great 3 years, and I'm really hoping that this can continue for a LONG LONG time.

 

[Vortious]

I've been thinking about what special to run this week, and I think that this week I'll run the Torso Tuesday every day promotion, so every $30 you spend gets you one free non mix/match torso

Ok all finished sorting the orders for WE 1-10, and it's about the same as WE 1-3 was, so it shouldn't be more than just a couple of days:

Don't forget guys today if 3XL Thursday, so for the first $30 you spend you get up to 3 items of up to $10 each, or $30 total for free, and since I'm doing Torso Tuesday everyday this week you also get a free torso of your choice for every $30 you spend.

 

[Topside]

Order placed.

 

[Vortious]

Hey guys don't forget that today is Freebie Friday, so for every $10 you spend you get a $5 or less head for free, and since I ran the Torso Tuesday deal everyday this week too you get a free torso for every $30 you spend. So every $30 you spend gets you 3 free heads, and a free torso. So that's about $20 worth of items for free for every $30 you spend.

 

[Vortious]

Ok, 2 more loads for WE 1-10 (they'll have to go in back to back since they both need the female arms, and one of those loads is green), then I get to start this monster of a list. It looks truly beastly, but it was only 4 pages, so since I've done 5 pages between the 2 weeks of order I did this last week/ week, and a half (WE 1-3, and WE 1-10) with having to stop in between the 2 for sorting I'm thinking I should hopefully be able to finish this up by Friday at the latest. Even with having to work some remolds in along the way.

[Vortious]

So it's week 2 of the 3yr Anniversary celebration so I've been trying to think of what I can do for a good follow up to the Free torso for every $30 from last week. Now I know I said I'd probably never do the free arms, and legs deal again, but going back over what happened the biggest mistake I did on that deal was I wasn't prepared w/ enough molds, and with enough joints ahead of time, SO since I now have more arm, and leg molds, and more joint molds I can make more quicker (this is why I'm continuing to get closer to catching up). So this week for every $40 you spend you get a free set of arms, and a free set of legs. I've also lowered the price of the arms and legs in the store by $1.

 

[Vortious]

It's torso Tuesday, so at $30 you get a free torso, and this week at $40 you get a free set of arms, and legs so once you hit $40 you're basically getting an entire figure aside from the head, hands, and feet, So today only if you hit $40 on your order you can pick out the head, hands, feet, torso, arms, and legs of your choice. I other words for every $40 you spend you get another entire figure for free.

 

[CobraOfficer999]

Just ordered three more sets of legs. I nuked the water and soaked the parts once more, and still fractured the right leg at the ankle. The other limbs, hands and foot came together fine using the nuked water technique..

You fractured the ankle, or the leg?

 

[CobraOfficer999]

On close exam, looks like the leg up to the upper shin, after I had soaked it in hot water I had nuked for 2 minutes in my big, red Emerson Microwave of unknown wattage (if the wattage of the microwave matters in this reguard), Then tried to attach the foot.

Hmm that is a new one. I'll email me some pics, so we can try to figure out what happened.

 

[Taliax]

CobraOfficer999 - I always use a 5/64 titanium drill bit on the leg hole before inserting the foot peg and have never had one break. The foot is not loose either once inserted. I don't use the hot water for pegs only for joints and have had success doing so.

Yep I use a little ball cutter bit in the legs before I put the ankles in on mine.

 

[Vortious]

This is officially the first day of my fourth year in business. So since this is the first week of my fourth year I've gotta do something AWESOME for this week's deal. So for this week only I'm bringing back the deal I ran for Valentine's day. Two figures for $50. No this isn't spend $50, and get 2 free figures this is 2 figures for $50. Any size, or type of figure (ie male (LG, or med), army builder, or female) the same stipulations of the build a figures apply. You choose the head, torso, arms, legs, hands, feet, and one accessory. No this doesn't include the Big Boss kit, or the Power King/ Skeleton King kits, but it does include the ability to choose any torso, set of arms/ legs, hands, feet, and head. Two figures cast in the colors you want for $50.

Anniversary Special

 

[CobraOfficer999]

Good Idea. Are those bits available for the Dremmell? I might pick one up to try on the next legs.

They are, but they usually come in kits. I got some on amazon.

Any Thor fans in the house?

Whirling hammer

Oh, and for those looking for a page hair He-man my buddy has one on his site:
Angry Nomad Customs

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

That whirling Thor hammer is ridiculously cool!

LOVE that new He-Man head! Too bad you can't cast it with your kits so it's 100% matching plastic.

Thanks, I had wanted to do it from the moment I saw it, but after 3 requests in 2 days I knew I had to get it done like yesterday!

Well you know the shade of that flesh tone is the same as mine. I taught Angry Nomad, just like I taught Contraband, and you notice that his are the same color as mine are.

Oh, and last night WAS going to be the end of the 2 figures for $50 deal, but my buddy James twisted my arm the other night, and said I had to keep it going for another week, so I'm going to keep it running through this coming Saturday.

 

[K-Tiger]

That whirling Thor hammer is ridiculously cool!

Hell yes, it is. If I didn't have my Thor rocking a war hammer instead of "mallet" Mjolnir I'd be all over that.

What I wouldn't mind seeing, though, is a gripping left hand to fit that Thor. I hate his closed fist and the PTE hand I'm using now isn't quite large enough.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Well you know the shade of that flesh tone is the same as mine. I taught Angry Nomad, just like I taught Contraband, and you notice that his are the same color as mine are.

My concern is the Faker blue and to lesser extent the natural flesh tone. If they are even a hint of shade a off, I'd have to try and match. And if there's one thing that makes me procrastinate on a project most it's trying to match paint to a plastic. It's almost always close, but not 100% perfect, and that bothers me.

Too bad Herc hands are too big. Rajon just sent me some grasping hands he used on his Aqua Man, and he said they're smaller than the Hyperion hands, but larger then the MU Comm Rogers ones, so they might be just about right. I'll take a look at them next to Thor's in a little bit.

Even w/ me casting the parts there's a possibility for the blue of the hard plastic to not match the softer plastic, so the stomach might not match the rest perfectly, but that's where shading comes into play.

 

[Taliax]

I really like the new formula, having more flex in the parts makes them a lot easier to work with. I like the more plastic than hard resin feel for joint especially.

Thanks, it's been a LONG journey of formulating, and reformulating, but FINALLY you guys won't need to soak the parts in hot water to soften them up anymore. They'll arrive feeling like they were made by Hasbro a few years ago when the figures weren't always breaking.

 

[Goldbug]

Aw I broke my bare female arm because I didn't soak it long enough.

 

[K-Tiger]

Origin of this head sculpt? It looks similar to Renegades Scarlett, but better.

Remind me on your next order, and I'll send you one of the sets that use the new materials.

Not sure what it was originally from, but I do know that Stocos sculpted the hair.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ah, I'm going with a modified Scarlett, then. I like it quite a lot. What's going on in the back? Pony tail, Bun? Closed-over hole?

 

[Taliax]

It is a modified Renegade Scarlett. There is no pony tail in back. It is the perfect head for a helmeted figure.

 

[K-Tiger]

Did they not do anything with the hole, then?

 

[Vortious]

Did they not do anything with the hole, then?

There's no hole in the back of this head. Not sure about the original one, but I'll take a pic of the original sculpt that I got from Stocos in a little bit when I come back up in about an hour/ hour, and a half.

 

[K-Tiger]

It sounds like he sculpted over it, which is cool.

 

[Vortious]

Sorry I never put the pic up last night, by the time I got done down stairs it was almost 1am. I'll get the pic for you in a little bit. I'm about to head down, and try to get WE 1-24 finished, or at least mostly finished today, so I can start on WE 1-31 tomorrow/Friday.
