^ Respect to that soldier. Losing a lower leg and taking a blast through the midsection?! He made one hell of a sacrifice.

 

New additions to the 1:60 crew.

 

Nice, you got the Plo's bros set.

 

That Pontiac is *everything good*.

Nostalgia increasing.....

 

It's a beautiful car! I hope I can find some more like it. The Tomy 1:64 are too expensive to import, so I'm glad there's a good option domestically here in the States. I have a few Hot Wheels cars, but they do not always scale well.

Also lucky I got to that Plo Bros version of that battle pack. The other ones were the basic Coruscant Guard version. It's weird seeing Wave 3 at my local Target when wave 2 was completely missed, except for the precursor to this battle pack.

 

I was working a review of the vecma space set but it came with two of the same legs. Hoping ohmyprimus can get me a replacement and I’ll finish the video.

 

Anyone know the scale of these? I had some as a teen and really liked them. Basically Snap Ships, but better quality, no too soft plastic.


This was shared from an old Christmas catalogs on Instagram.

 

Here's a pic from the internet with the LoP figure next to the Lego fig, and then my pic of Lego and Diahnaught to compare. Maybe a little bigger but doable? I Hope this is helpful.






Edit - found this on a Mercari listing:

 

@ 1:46 to 1:48 scale technically.

I have a picture of a Dianaut side by side with a Legion Of Power figure (a childhood favorite with a bitter sweet but nice memory attached to it) but i can't find it at the moment. This should help until i do if you haven't already found the info you need:


Edit: Bottom right image shows a direct comparison. These aren't my images (the bottom is from a gent on Instagram "Baloksblog" and the top image is from MOONBASE CENTRAL: It's Raining Men ).




@mwm you may find these of interest as well.

 

Thank you both. I think that line is the one that Diaclone is filling in for me...

 

Did you get those from China?

 

Mostly mainland... I think one was from Taiwan. I really don't see the front end handling before it hits the states for lots of countries.

 

I follow diecast photographers out of Asia that use those dios for photography. I wish there was a source for them over here.

 

You may find papercraft of interest. You can create a wide variety of structures with low cost / free materials (card stock / compressed cardboard). If you have access to a quality printer the finished product is comparative with anything i've seen presented by a professional.

Papercraft = 3D printing for those without access to a 3D printer.

 

AliExpress ships to US and it is similar to Amazon in a way. Often the item is fulfilled by a service, not the seller. You won't find these in other countries that much as they are not licensed. I mean a Coke and a Pepsi machine in one set would never happen here. They sometimes get scared and blur out the company names on buildings and diecast on Ali, too; as occasionally, they ship from somewhere within US.

Also, they would probably be "US-ized" and I like the options of Japan, China, Korea, etc. styles.

 

So what are we missing from the 1/60 scale offerings currently?


BTW.... did anyone else see the promotional trailer for some ... 4ft tall TF Metroplex type giant robot toy recently? I don't follow TFs so i'm not sure if it was a "Not Metroplex" or "Not Metrotitan" but it was something in the same ball park with regard to size.

Anyway.... talk about being 1/60 action figure or Dianaut compatible...

edit: I'm a bit slow on TF news so you've all probably seen this already but...just in case:

Lewin Resources 120cm Metroplex

 

Does anyone know where I can find these marvel figures? They look like scaled down versions of the old Metal Mutants figs, but I've had no luck finding these anywhere.

 

I've messaged you on IG.

I don't recall the exact name but i believe the manufacturer is / was Toybiz and produced in the late 90's / early aughts. I have some pictures somewhere but i don't know where at the moment.

There's a chance i might be confusing them with another Marvel micro figure line - Marvel MegaMorphs.

 

Good looking out, let's see what ebay has to say about my chances of finding these...
