AA-12 round magazine:


Regular clip:


I guess for the goggles I can suffice with the ROC Duke helmet. I looked and that's pretty much what I was shooting for either way.

Why have him waste a weapon slot on something Marauder is already doing?

Marauder is doing an AA-12? Well I'm a tool. Never mind that request. I gotta' pay more attention to what's going on. :eek:

What about suits?

I mean a CAM kit or the ability ot mix and max differnet torso sculpts with different arm sculpts and different leg sculpts of modern males (and females I guess) in business suits - to make Secret Service agents, CIA agents, FBI agents, the president, perhaps a modern version of Tomax and Xamot? A suited version of CC - he doesn't always wear his miliary dress blues, right? I know there is one from a SDCC a while back, but not easy to obtain custom fodder. :D Suited people could be simple civilians or hostages or you could make a custom of your pastor...what ever you want!

How about the arms and legs from the general cam kit with the suit torso? Maybe even a second suit torso with the jacket buttoned

Guys we have a full suit figure we call it agent shades. I will try and post pictures by tomorrow, we are just reworking the arms to be a C.A.M Kit.

Nice, for the last few months Ive been wanting to make suited Crystal Ball, Raptor, the twins, Destro and CC. Maybe a few FRED's as well

Yeah, my only real qualm with the "general" kit was that it was all cast in flesh (well, and it was missing pegs for the shoulders, but I can fix that on my own with some styrene tubing with no worries)... I realize that you guys probably mix up a shit-ton of the same color, and I'd prefer heads to be cast in flesh, but if the torsos and suits could be cast in dark green, blue or black (or even darker gray) that'd be preferable.

I couldn't believe that the lower torso actually had a suit sculpted onto it. Is that the same lower torso from the "agent shades" figure? If anyone hasn't gotten the "General" kit yet, it's damned impressive. I will need to work out a little on the hinges to assemble it, but I was blown away that the lower torso had sculpting at all. It's still "25th" style construction, the jacket just hangs much lower as a realistic one would.

Oh, btw, I asked it and Dave answered it in the other SlayerCon thread... If anyone is interested, he said by PO-13 they are planning to return the T-bars back to their stock.

With the sheer amount of full torsos and CAM kits they're coming out with lately, that's definitely something I'll need at least 10-15 of next time around. If you're ordering any torsos, you may want to keep in mind that the T-bar is the only item not included in the kit, so you'll need to wait to get another one (per every torso you plan on pairing it with) when they're back in stock, or you'll need to tear apart some fodder figure for the Hasbro t-bar.

If you can cast in clear (which I imagine you can, it's just a matter of the right resin or whatever), would it be possible to make fire or explosions?

I know Hasbro has made some muzzle blasts and you've got the torches on your site that are reminiscent of Indiana Jones' torches, but entire strips of fire, like a freeze-frame bomb going off, or muzzle blasts, or fireballs/powered effects (think comic super-powers or something like Human Torch's fireballs, etc.)...

That awesome HALO diorama made me think of it, and it'd be kind of awesome to have some pre-made and semi-mass-produced to use in dioramas...

Also, maybe a good camp fire. I can't get past that one that comes with the PTE-style dio camp set. Looks too out of scale and cartoony.

Similar to this, but in smaller bits:

If they were cast fairly thin, with the right transparent washes of black and red/yellow/orange, you could back-light them and have some BADASS in-camera effects...

Same wavelength Eddie... I've been amassing parts for some Dukes of Hazzard customs for a while. The bluejeans/boots legs from some Wolverine movie figs have potential for Bo and Luke. Got a few heads from brokenarrow, but most of my parts have come from SDS. Add a jacket to soft master, and you've got a Boss Hogg right there. The SDS admiral head just needs a ball cap, and you've got Uncle Jesse nailed.

The hard part is customizing all the 1:18th diecast cars not named General Lee. I started that project, and I got as far as disassembling a bunch of cars. Months pass, and even if I managed to paint them all, I'll never get them back together!

As dumb as it sounds, Bo and Luke were two of my Joes as a kid... They were essentially the same construction and were about the only non-Joe action figures I mixed with Joes (other vehicles and accessories were another matter entirely).

I'd almost make a Duke Boys just for the memories...

I gotta' agree on full suited figures. They just have so much potential. I didn't see any heads that have a screaming expression in any military theme. Something like that would be pretty cool to do a called in air strike or scream for back up. Not sure how popular they would be though. I may be the only one that thinks they'd work well.

I do like original head sculpts. It's nice to get away from the GI Joe lure occasionally. I understand people want certain figures but with the great fodder we were given with POC some random military type sculpts would be awesome! I'm sure I'm in the minority since most people want what Hasbro won't make but there is a serious lack of basic looking military in the scale. It's saddening.

heck yeah!...though it would make me wish i had mutable heads for my figures with different expressions

Mentioned it on the FB page and I'll mention it here as just a general request b/c I'm sure it won't get picked, but a more ARAH accurate Serpentor CAM kit with scales sculpted on and a better head sculpt would be frickin' sweet! (elbows Mandingo Rex and G.I. Eddie in order to get them to agree as they're the only other Joe fans here)

Here's a 6-inch custom version that would work nicely as a reference:

I dunno, i might buy a Bo and Luke head sculpt. They can do Tubbs and Crockett full-figure kits and i can get Bo and Luke on trafficking charges. ;)




So, is there a full Heartwrencher kit available? If i can track down a '50s Harley I think i'll give in to doing a Dreadnok custom.

They haven't done a full kit for Heartwrencher, but you could always buy their bare female arms and legs for the Torso/Head combo.

I wanted to avoid bare legs. I'll have to look around.

2 more questions

1. Money Order, Ja or Nein?

2. If Ja, when do i need to pay fer it?

Yeah, I could echo Recoil, Bullhorn, and a decent Serpentor head. I was okay enough with the DVD Serpentor, but if you guys could sculpt a better head with perhaps the arm gear as a glue-on element, that'd be sweet to somewhat "fix" the Hasbro "3-times and you're out" failed attempt...
