Fortress maximus has been released in america. It was in the 80s... and just a few years back it was released in their reissue line. I have it sitting in my toy room. Brave Maximus is a different figure though. It was blue and red and neon green and never saw stateside release. It was probably available in 2000-2003 range. I can't remember for sure. A local shop used to have the Korean Sonokong version. Quality is purportedly a little lower in the Sonokong editions. Most Takara/Sonokong editions did see reissue in the states but this one did not. its the exact same mold though? short of some color changes.....

Never heard of a drop test, is this really a thing? It is. I only know about it because of a Transformer that only came out in Asian markets called Brave Maximus that couldn't pass the drop test. It had impact points that shattered. Fifteen years or so ago Brave Maximum used to be the record for the biggest transformer. It has been supplanted by Metroplex from a few years ago. Fortress maximus has been released in america. It was in the 80s... and just a few years back it was released in their reissue line. I have it sitting in my toy room.

Maybe that's just what they have available? I don't know why you guys are so concerned about other people's figs. Is it inaccurate? Today, yes. When Ascension first debuted? Less so. But if they are fine with it then oh well. Constructive criticism is fine but this isn't constructive. It's not about being concerned, it's about trying to set a theme. Just look above, Mattel made a mistake and gave Finn the terrible Christian/Jericho torso. So now people are making Balor figures that are 'mattel accurate' and are totally wrong. Seriously man, drop it. I can do the same thing. Why did you make it look like your hardy has been slimed? How can you be happy with such thick strands of hair in his face? It looks so wrong. I don't want to see fighting in this thread, nit picking over someone's work is just as bad. If you don't like what someone has done find a constructive way to help with it. Not tear them down. Think of it as a compliment sandwich. I like this, this could be better and then it would look much better. It's not hard to do, it isn't being overly sensative, pc or people aren't being "butt hurt". If you want to see people doing "better" work you have to teach aND coach. Not sit there and simply say what's wrong with what they did.

It's their figures to customize. It's not wrong. It's theirs. Hence it's not yours so quit worrying about it. Why even post a figure here if you're afraid of criticizing and feedback? Stop jumping down people's faults for using the wrong parts and being told they're wrong. he's fat. He's round. Bulldog/Austin works fine. I'll say this. It's not what you said, it's how you said it. It's as simple as that. You can give suggestions, tell people to use other parts and critique all you want. But when you tell someone they are doing it wrong, especially with something to do with art, that's not a critique. With how long I've been doing custom figures I can take any feedback given to me and not worry about it. Just be mindful of how you talk about people's work. It's really easy to go from helping and cross into rude comments.

If I HAD to, i would. It would need to be a very good reason though. Loss of income, huge medical bills ect. But toy collecting is my hobby. It helps relieve stress and reminds me of a simpler time.

Whoever was the first to use the DDP torso for Viktor, I blame you for influencing people to do it wrong. People use a fat torso for Hero, so why not get it right for everyone? There really is no such thing as doing it wrong. It's simply not what you want to see. I know he isn't that ripped, but the height and size is just about right. That's why I did it. When you start telling people their art is wrong, you're acting beyond eletist.

In the 500+ figures I've got.. I've had 5 with issues out the box...... either I've got amazing luck, or some people have the worst.

Lots of stuff that's been seen before. But I've wanted to finish off a few of these things for a while. Sid is done. It's a sid and batista mixed. Warrior is just a new BP turned into elite. Might paint the chest at some point. Morrison, always wanted a baggy pants version. May paint the logos on the pants at some point. Ptp, elite conversions from the new bp. Need some red paint to cover the tight and knee pads. Acensio just updated the bp to elites.

I ordered elastic off eBay to make a basic nxt ring. Turned out great. I like that. Any way to get a link of the said elastic off of ebay? Search 2mm or 4mm elastic cord. I don't remember what size i ordered though.

I have done it, and i have had friends do it for me. But I fail to see how you can consider this as bad as actual theft....... I didn't say that. I said I thought it was almost as bad as actual theft. Key word almost. And you are stealing someone else chance at getting a figure because you didn't have the money to buy it. But yea not quite as bad as actually stealing I can agree there. Still not even close. Actual theft is punishable by law. Hiding a figure may hurt the feelings of someone who can't find it. It's not causing any actual loss. It's no different than someone buying the last e41 Finn before you got there. Do you hate lay-a-way? People put all kinds if stuff on hold from 1 month to 3 months. And they may not buy it by the end of it either.....

I thought Hulk was let go by WWE because he used the word "n****r" multiple times when referring to African Americans?? I doubt he got let go because of the sex tape, since the sex tape was well out there before Hogan even came back to the WWE. Wasnt that said at some point on that tape though?

not every person on the forums uses the classifieds section. And how is someone picking up a fig for someone then that person sending money for their services panhandling? I'll answer your question if you can answer my question. When the sale is over and your Target finally stocks The Heenan's or HOF 3, are you going to to pay the retail price? I would have easily. But the shelves at my local store won't be clean for new product for a while. So I broke down and got all of hof 3 and hennan set from eBay for just over retail.

No offense, St. Louis has no environment like Chicago does. Crowd is always hyped. St. Louis usually seems dead. Im pretty sure they meant it as a joke.... as CRD has this weird thing for always mentioning St Louis .

E16 Kevin Nash. It pretty much is what got me addicted to collecting Mattel figures. Did you read the entire opening post? which figure were you excited to find but then it became easy to find...... I haven't seen many on here that said nash was easy to find.
