Note to self...next time working with epoxy resin and fiberglass wear a respirator. Almost killed myself yesterday or at least it felt like it. I know better but I was in a hurry trying to finish a job and I couldn't find it.

Hi everybody!
I'm going to get a Retaliation Wave 2 Roadblock (Battle Kata) figure from China. Would anybody be interested in getting clones of his body armor?
If so, I'll send it to Jesse and share it.

Dropshipbob- Just want to let you know I got that stuff today. That facehugger is pretty
damn cool.

Hey, great! Yeah, that facehugger is way cool but it comes in a set that now costs WAAAY to much for someone who wants multiples. I'd like copies that are in both flexible and non-flexible material.

Can your non-flexible material be heated up in boiling water and repositioned and will it stay repositioned when cool?
I ask because I'd like to make a few facehuggers posed with the legs spread out like they are crawling/running.

Also, again, if the helmet and crystal skull are too big and you don't think they'll sell, I'm more than happy to pay for those to be molded. You are doing us ALL a great favor and I don't want to take advantage of that.

Jesse,

Let me know when it's OK to send some stuff, and I'll need an address too.

And yes... great service to us all. :thumbsup:

Dropshipbob- You can heat them up and bend them. Can I remove the broken peg from the skull head?

Obi-Shinobi- Go ahead and send them now cause I am about to cut off requests for the next few weeks.

If you can mold it with the pin in place, then don't remove it. That pin connected the skull to the body of the figure, without it, I won't be able to reconnect the two. :(

-OR-

If you can remove it without damaging it (the pin) that's cool, just don't throw it away, keep it somewhere safe and send it back with the skull.

Awesome stuff!

What would make a great rucksack is the one on the new bbi SEAL that was sold on foxholetoys recently and come with the new B-Hawk. One of those with a Joe peg would be top notch.

I plan to order some of your stuff soon.

Will those Helmets and Heads you just posted be available on your website soon? I would love to get a few.

If you're talking about this guy...



The head was from this figure.



The head is great for some modern style figures.

Just making sure the right person gets the original back. :D

I sent Jesse a brown Leather Duster...it's now added to the first post bottom picture. Can anyone identify it? Guy I got it from in a parts trade swap on the tank couldn't remember what figure it came from.

I'd say it's a 21st Century Toys German großmantel/greatcoat, of the DAK variety.

The Ardennes version was more pliable and was a lot easier to work with.

Jesse, (or anyone with them for that matter) can you tell me if the boonie cap you did will fit on the Low Light head?

I know he's already got that damn watch cap on, but I'm thinking I may want the boonie cap look from time to time.

It's definitely pliable...I think it's the best one I've seen easy to get on the figures and fairly good details on the back.

Used one on a Nazi robot. It'll probably be a handy item for customizers.

That would work for me. I figured at the very worst I'd just get a second LL head and mod it for the hat and just switch them out.

I'll cast those in a pliable rubber since they are so long. I don't think the resin I use for the vest and web gear would be good for those.
