I need a 1:18 Apple. Any ideas? All I see on ebay is 1:12 or bigger..prolly have to make one?

:trollface:
Prolly still to big. I thought of painting a BB or soft shot BB red
I'll probably just make one out of clay or something..I was hoping someone out there knew of a Cinderella/evil witch figurine with one...I remember seeing a witch with one in the palm of her hand in a Walmart checkout some time ago..hmmm,.

My daughter has some, but they come in bunches of three...they came with Strawberry Shortcake.
I'd probably just sculpt one out of epoxy clay, they aren't perfectly round, so a painted BB wouldn't look the part IMO.

Anyone have these legs or at least lower legs? They came on few different Wolverines from the movie line.
Preferably these blue ones.

He would, but he's gotta take a single high-res pic from every angle for Goldbug! So give him some time, wouldja?!

Nothing really going on here,been too busy to do anything customizing related. I did however pour 3 small molds..female bare feet,FSS Bombstrike's head,and marvel lower legs. First thing I've done in over a week. I'm already back out of town,so my daughter is supposed to them out of the tank tonight.
Not sure which lowers to go with. They all have their pros and cons.
• Shipwreck lowers.
Pros - More cartoony looking. No painting required. No paint wear in the joints. Big feet look better under large pant cuffs.
Cons - cartoony looking.
• Tunnel Rat lowers.
Pros - Will make figure shorter like Popeye seems to be. More detailed
Cons - painting required. Good possibility for paint wear. Feet won't look as good under smaller cuff.
• DG SW lowers.
Pros - more detailed than both the others. A folded cuff.
Cons - painting required. Good possibility for paint wear.

I'd lean toward the Shipwreck lowers or Tunnel Rat's. I like the DG ones, but the amount of folds and wrinkles doesn't really mesh for me with the upper half of the pants.
I was thinking that too, but then I spotted my civilian chick on a shelf. She's using the DG lowers and even smoother uppers and I think they look good.
I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the Tunnel Rat lowers. They seem like a good middle ground.
damn it. You did some sculpt work to remove the sheath and straps?
You need to send those legs off to a castor so we can get some plain jean pants.
Eddie just used two of the none holster upper thighs from Shippy, lol. Same part but one is reversed/on backwards.
I like the Shippy lowers the best personally. The shoes go well with them. The proportions look off with TR's lowers and you get that weird transition at the knee where the top sticks out. The DG lowers don't flow well enough for my tastes (I agree with Vindicare).
Your Popeye contest entry is how I was introduced to that head. That's how long mine has been a WIP. I finally had a eureka moment this past weekend with the arms...they were holding up the project. Well, that and laziness.
D got it. I considered a SS right upper, but again, I'm trying to avoid additional paint that could rub off at joints.The shoes (and legs) were just temporarily mocked up with the original foot peg. I've always intended and since made them rocker ankles (with the revoltech(?) joints you sent me a while ago) and the feet sit in the recesses of the legs much better.
As for the weird transition at the knee, none of the lower legs were pegged to the knees for the pics. I wanted to be able to swap them out quickly. The TR lowers are just a slightly snugger fit than the other pairs and flared without the pegs. And IF they still flare weird once pegged, they'll be trimmed to flow better like I did with DG lowers on the chick a few posts back.
My bigger concern is the space left behind right above the knee when using SWs left leg backwards. Still trying to deside how I'll fill that tiny little gap AND not have it be a brittle mess. Maybe some styrene and CA glue and sanded cleanly.
Can you post the results of this? I want to use some diaper crotch figures, but I would like to know how "fixing them" looks.
I dremmeled down a cast of a Retaliation Lady Jaye to the size of an older SW head ball,keeping the Joe sized internal hole,and made an adaptor type part that snapped right into a head from a female storm trooper...
I'm going to cast it with the piece in there..hopefully I can get the piece out,and reuse it on a few other heads I have in my fodder box!
