    Forward and back tilt on whole foot is dangerous with a figure this tall and heavy. But I feel ya

    Yeah, I can see it being a critical point given how much leverage the combined body can extert to the joint, but I find myself using such articulation quite often when available and I'd like for Zeta to try to implement it. Given the size of the feet, I think a string enough ratchet couldn't be impossible.

    A ratchet with teeth is not a good idea, no matter how strong the spring is in that area. It will grind down hard over time and dislodge everything when trying to move it in place. However, if one were to change the teeth to a block shape with tight tolerances in tandem with a spring release button...who knows?

    Gah, I love Superion, but I'd have to display him as separate Aerialbots because of space, if I were to place him the in the case. I have FT Terminus Giganticus, and the only option is to display him out of the case.

    I'm not sure where mine will be displayed either. I was thinking of putting him and Menasor on top of nearby Detolfs, facing off against each other but I'm not sure yet.

    Don't feel bad. These big boys are about to cost me big money in displays. lol! We're doing a 40x40 nerd cave, and I think I'm going the Moducase route.

    I'm lucky in that I have a loft that is my movie theater and prop collection room, that also has an area dedicated to figures and TFs too, so room isn't really an issue so much as aesthetics lol.

    We got a new house in September, and we're turning a 40x40 garage addition into exactly that. A giant nerd cave. Got a few other projects to knock out first here, but hoping to get it done in the next year or so. If you can stomach teh cost, sriously, take a look at Moducase.

    I have been considering Moducase for a while. I would like ALL my shit to be displayed similarly for lighting and once again...aesthetics. I have lightsabers, blasters, helmets, Indy props, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and working on Aliens stuff. I would like it to look more "professional" and relatively protected at the same time, yet still sit along the sides of the "theater room". My current set up you can't really see what's in the shelves and only what is displayed on top.

    We're doing basically one whole wall for the MP/3P TF stuff, and with lighting the quote was $12,500. I'm still looking for more pics, but I've seen a couple in person and they're on another level. Absolutely solid stuff.

    I’m eyeing a moducase set up. Since I’m not buying as much anymore financially it’s feesable.

    Did it cost anything for the quote?

    Too much money for plexi...too much money period. It's overpriced for what it is. Looks nice though

    That's collecting in general. It's all too much money. But that's the game we play.

    After some fiddling I managed to get him have a good grip on Fortress Maximus sword. I'd like to try the Predaking swords from dna and shockwave l'ABS but I'm afraid they are too heavy unless he wields them in a straight vertical orientation.
    I know it's not canon, but it's simply too cool for me. IMG_20190408_181312.jpg IMG_20190408_180817.jpg

    Does anyone out there have any idea what this might be used for?

    I didn't know that thing existed... I think I could build my own version of moducase...
