@@cdoggkinch6731 I made it myself, but I don't think I could make a tutorial unfortunately haha. it was a problem solving and experimenting process of just trying to copy blender tutorials on modelling clone helmets, and then making adjustments for the use case I needed.

Yerrr, get it while you can! This one having a slower time going up on resell, but once people get em in hand, I don't imagine people letting him go. price definitely gonna be going up

thank you man 🥺

It was the Shfiguarts Obi Wan series Darth Vader. it sold out in it's first run, only released in Japan. they're supposed to be rereleasing it under the New Hope tag sometime in the future. I'd check hobbylinkjapan or hobbygenki to see if they have it for preorder or if theres any stock available

thanks man. yeah, I wanted to make something that kept the toyetic nature of their helmets. having one solid print of it all combined might help improve proportions, but once you've got used to the black series proportions with the way they put helmets on, it starts to feel weird if it isn't that size. thanks for checking the video!

they're not, haven't found they needed it. painted many up myself and get a nice finish once painted with a few coats and a sealer. had many people purchase and paint them up themselves come away with the same sentiment

thank you! I'm glad it spoke to you 🙏🏼

love to hear that man, thank you for listening 🙏🏼

ay man, it's all part of life. happy to share it for others to be able to share theirs.

it was only available in Japan unfortunately.. I got mine on hobby link Japan, but it's since sold out. they have announced a rerelease in the "New Hope" colors and accessories to come out later this year though, so hopefully that one will come to amazon

hm, interesting! cool reference, just wish the show overall had been better 😭

Also - the whole IDW TMNT run has been really good - I read it all on Comixology Unlimited which has them all for "free"

haha - I keep having comments as I watch the video - the hip joint on my first Shredder snapped off instantly - so I had to get a 2nd and heat then use some silicone oil.

agree completely! they're definitely showing some potential if they are consistently making the necessary improvements. Hope they don't become complacent 😬

made it myself!

thanks man!

the more the merrier 😈

thank you! 🙇🏻‍♂️

agree 100%. and I do believe dremeling could help for sure. I haven't had the chance to do it myself but I'm sure one day I'll get around to it

thank you brother 🙏🏼

thank you brother 🙏🏼 definitely a fun movie with some strong themes. not for some, but it's fun enough for me. seems like the movie found you at the right time after your grandmother's passing. and it truly is addicting 😂 I'm certainly not naive to that. it holds a weight over me at times, but I believe balance can be found in it, and all the fulfilment it gives outways the bad. some people in denial about it become combative when you say it, but it's not said as an insult, it's being candid about the reality. if ya can't joke about it, will you ever find balance? ya feel

@@boredfigures 100% man. Everyone has that “addiction” or passion for something. People NEED something like that to put their time and energy into. Otherwise people who don’t have any “hobbies” don’t really know what to do with their free time or feel like they have no drive of ambition when it comes to anything. I don’t care if your passionate about buying and selling cars, pocket knives, spoons, watches, comics, whatever. We all need something to give our attention to and give us an escape. Well for some people it may not be an “escape” per say, but it is something they enjoy to do in their free time however. Like you said if you can’t joke about it, you won’t find that balance. It’s not that serious. We all do this to enjoy it no matter the reasons behind it.

ooo 👀 that'd be dope. gotta see if they make an ABS-like Resin in that color

man don't worry bout it! comment away haha, doesn't bother me one bit, and you know the RUclips algorithm loves the engagement 😂 but I agree, Malgus was just so good in every regard, when I started collecting I didn't think they would ever do him, let alone so soon and so perfectly. Ahsoka probably would've been on my list had my preorder come in, but I'm still waitin on BBTS to get her in.. and man, that Shfiguarts Vader is unreal. I was rocking the Black Series ESB Vader before, and it's great, but SHF blew it out of the water. shame it is so hard go get now and the resell prices are so high. I managed to get mine for under it's retail on a last minute sale on HobbyLinkJapan, $68 shipped. a bit pricey compared to a Black Series, but for my boy Vader, a perfect figure at that price was well worth it. And Master Weng is an original character from Maestro Union, I'm just a sucker for Eastern mythology and anything in that vein. highly recommend checking Maestro Union out, they're bout to go hard in 2024 with their own original characters, and tho they're pricier than a Black Series, they are packed with accessories and big ass chonky figures. Thanks for checking it out! try not to fall into the figure rabbithole like I did 😂 but I can't promise my videos might not make you haha

@@boredfigures lol. Damn straight to the algorithm part. I feel ya bro. Yea that padawan ahsoka was absolutely perfect to me in every way. She was #1 on my list. Hasbro straight COOOOKED on this one. She deserves it too! Man iv been trying not to touch the shfiguarts but it’s becoming more and more difficult lol. Eastern mythology is interesting! I don’t know much about it, I’m more of a Scandinavian/norse mythology guy myself. But I can’t not acknowledge the genuine authenticity of eastern culture. I’m gonna check Maestro out some day.

for sure man! I'll hyu soon about it 🙏🏼

ay man, that's just a skill that comes with time. authenticity is alot harder to find and you've got that 🙏🏼 if it inspires you, then you'll get there in due time. you ever have questions or need a point in the right direction, don't hesitate to ask. I ain't no gatekeeper 😂 I wanna see everyone make art and videos that represent who they are. thanks for checking my channel out brother 🙏🏼

@@boredfigures much appreciated man! Thanks for the offer! I will definitely keep you in mind as I learn and grow as a “RUclipsr”. Hakuna Matata man! No thanks needed. I plan on checking out more. I really dig the vibe you put off and I like how much respect you have for this hobby and you make that very clear in your demeanor. Your knowledge on the many lines is also so dope to me. I’m mostly a Star Wars guy. But I do like some of the marvel legends and McFarland stuff I see sometimes. I can just tell you live and breath this stuff. Looking forward to checking out more of your content man! And new stuff! MTFBWY.

@@TheStonedMandalorian and also with you man 🙏🏼 haha. Star Wars is my bread and butter, but I just love characters of all kinds. This hobby took a strange hold of me, for sure haha

thanks man! like I said in the vid, the chaos tells a story haha. feeds that creativity in my eyes. also thanks for showing the Instagram some love! haha 😂

fair enough! still not a bad figure at all, outside of this one it's my second preference! It's a great figure!

I think you'd really like em 🙏🏼

damn man, thats unfortunate. my Vegetas legs were perfect, all his joints were the right level of tension to be sturdy but move easy. Hate to see yours have the problems my Trunks had 😭 if they hadn't had a weird QC issue with alot of their figs this year, I think SHFiguarts Dragon Ball line might've been my figure line of the year too. Damn.. And yeah man, I love the Wukong sm. When you manage to get that book, lmk what you think!

you already kno 😂😂

glad you enjoyed it! they're definitely worth looking into

absolutely agree, the end of the year waves began to drop the ball a bit, but there were still some gems sprinkled in here and there. I think I'm partial to the price point too haha, though more accessories and extra hands it always welcomed. Not everyone's choice, but I think more than anything the line just surprised me, as my previous black series experiences were pretty lack luster. lots of great figures this year from all companies, but as far as a line with many great figures in the year, it felt right for me 😊 thanks for checking out my channel! love your vids and the longform appreciation of the artform that is figures!

interested to see something about the art of making a great figure, if lacking some details/accessories, within a certain budget 🤔🤔🤔🤔

that would absolutely send it over the top. the limited head articulation is probably it's biggest downfall imo. proportions wise I'm not so sure, but a longer barbell to get more range for sure

preeeeach

agreed, ankles could have been much better. def can be a bummer. I don't find the codpiece to obstructive, but it is a bit phat 😂 Vader packin I guess haha

I disagree! but I can understand the frustration for some! it's certainly a challenge to wrangle in but I've got everything I've wanted out of it! thanks for commenting!

It’s not that bad in person I was anxious about the cape when buying but when he came he looked awesome

@@MiataManDan Such a shame I can’t share pictures of my custom cape on youtube all I can say is you guys are way too optimistic It’s definitely not the same cape as the promo image it’s already a scam and you guys still think it’s fine this is outrageous haha

Not the cape but the short barbell joint on his neck sir. We must get the slight long one to prevent the proportions of his cape and neck
