F118th Exclusive Figure
- Thread starter Obi-Shinobi
- Start date
I'm coming out and saying it will be better than the first. F-A-C-T
Quiet, you! But yes... it will be a never-produced-by-any-company soldier, that is much needed and deserved.
It's all good, bro. I appreciate the kind words on this project. All I can say is, given this opportunity to create the exclusive... I'm trying to give you guys "better".
Thanks, Joe! If you want one, you'll get one.
Just for a tidbit of information, and this may change depending on how quickly these go, but we're only working on an initial run of 50 figures, so it may be that we restrict purchases to 1 figure a piece so that everyone who wants one gets a chance to get one. Keep in mind this is virgin ground for a lot of us that are involved, so we're trying to iron out all the kinks. This is an investment in you guys, so we want to make sure we can provide the best product we can, to everyone we can.
That being said, quantities may change at any time, so we just have to wait and see. Once everything has been finalized, we'll be able to give you more information.

And this is why I fucking love this site. Awesome work, Obi, and thanks to the guys behind the scenes who made this all possible.
I hope they're not too expensive - I'll need at least 4 for a fireteam.

I have had the opportunity to hold an Obi custom. And I will tell you that no picture can show the details he puts into a figure. No doubt this one probably has had even more attention taken on it to get it full of even more camera hidden awesome. Man am I excited to see this guy in person at the con!
Guess I should move this over to the Eddieisms thread...but come on that was too easy.
Man! I wanna go to the con... Great work on the figure. It looks very promising! I can't wait to have one holding up my f1:18th flag!
no. He called me but I was driving on the highway coming back from the casino and couldn't talk(looking back, I was kinda dickish) so he just sent me the photo on my phone.
I just got home a few minutes ago and posted it.
Very sexy!...test shot I presume as I know Obi said something about filling the shoulder joint hole
Yea this is a prototype that was completed this weekend. We'll have more info on the figure in the next few days
I covered the front shoulder holes on the master copy, which will be used from here out. What you see here is a first pull sample. Gang mold will be made using "new" shoulder.
Sample feels good, and solid. Joints are 99.9% exactly like the originals. Good flex where needed (limbs, head), while torso and joints/pegs are more rigid. Everything snapped together fairly easily.

Fantastic!...hope the backpack is available separately...
One thing I'd modify if it's not too late, is creating a recess in the under arms so they can lay a bit closer to the body...if it's too late, I'll do it myself

What you see, are all the parts cast in that color. At some point, sooner than later, they will be painted in desert operations colors. Not sure who is doing the painting at this point, but I will be doing the initial assembly. If it ain't right, I ain't passing it down the line.
