The much desired Marvel Universe Professor X has hit retail!  Professor X uses the same mold as the 2009 SDCC exclusive James McCullen figure that was available only at the convention in a 2 Pack with another Destro/McCullen figure.  Ever since the McCullen figure has been announced,  collectors have wanted the figure not only because it’s a great looking figure but for all of the custom possibilities.  With the rarity and short supply of the figure not to mention the cost,  the McCullen figure hasn’t been customized as much as collectors wanted too.  Several G.I.Joe lines have come and gone since the release of the exclusive suited figure and collectors have continued to ask Hasbro for a mass retail release of the mold with no response. Finally it was announced some time ago that a Professor X figure was coming to retail using the same ... Read More »

  As always, forum member Dark Horse delivers! This time, we’ve got an ATR pirate that he’s assembled from what looks to be a ROC delta 6 accelerator suit, a Star Wars droid, and whatever other odds and ends that he could find. While I’m not familiar with this ATR universe, I will admit that it’s an interesting concept, and Dark Horse put it together flawlessly, bringing some real life to his imagination. I’m always quite impressed with Dark Horse’s work, which always evokes that gritty realism found in graphic novels, which is hard to get right.   It’s an awesome piece, and we’re glad that Dark Horse decided to share it with use here at the Fighting 1:18th.   Click HERE to see more pics and to join in on the discussion!

  While the Fighting 1:18th is primarily focused on, well, 1:18th scaled offerings, every once in a while someone comes along with work that just blows you away, regardless of the scale. Relative newcomer, forum member CustomCreator, comes out of the gate with all guns blazing! Now, these are certainly not 1:18 scale, but the detail work is flawless. The time and effort that went into each diorama piece just screams with the love of the craft, and it’s hard to tell that some of these aren’t true to life scale. So, without further ado, sit back and enjoy!                                   Thanks, CustomCreator, for showing us your work here at the Fighting 1:18th! We hope to see more in the near future! There’s a TON ... Read More »

  “Born in the USA son of Israeli diplomats, Raz moved back to Israel while in High School and eventually served in Mosaad, Israels intellignece community. While in the IDF he was an elite urban sniper. There is a $1,000,000 bounty on his head. Since the Wars began Raz has returned to the US re-uniting with some of his childhood friends who were sons of Military brass assisting them with the CIA and SAD divisions in searching out Middle Eastern Operatives in the USA.” So ends the brief backstory of Raz, a custom figure created by forum member Rick. And, as usual, he does not disappoint. Paint work is flawless, giving a great example of how to apply a real world look to an action figure. It’s hard to tell that the dirt and dust is, yes, actually paint, and ... Read More »
