1/6 Custom Call of Duty Operator
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to watch this short video on my custom Call of Duty operator. This project didn't mean much at first but as I got into it and did some exploratory research it really struck a chord with me. I somehow managed to dig up an old memory of mine wanting a figure like this to exist but now I've gotten to the point in collecting where I can achieve that. I'm sure there's a deeper meaning to derive from that but admittedly I'm too tired to put it into words haha. Regardless if you liked what you saw here please like, comment, and or subscribe for future releases. Until then I hope you all stay safe and I will see you all next time.

1/6 Universal Pooyan Here Comes the Maid Fashion Doll
Просмотров 1622 месяца назад
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to watch this short overview of the universal pooyan here comes the maid doll. This is definitely a unique take on doll design and I wish some of it was ironed out over time. Outside of the tolerances I think it'd be perfect for customizing. The interchangeable parts and ability to customize it as you see fit is something I think can be a great selling point...

    I hope you're well. Great find on that car. What an absolute bargain. One of the great things about 1/6 scale is the amount of options there are for custom projects. I have boxes and boxes of spare parts, clothing and accessories etc and always seem to find a use for them down the line with new projects. I recently put together a Clarence Boddiker and Connor MacLeod from spare clothing albeit I had to do a bit of tinkering. .

      Yup! I forgot to mention it but you can remove the arms and even the chest from the torso if need be. It's definitely a versatile design and had they continued to iron out the kinks I think it would be perfect for doll heads. Thanks for the kind remarks! 😊🙏

    Cool looking figure, I'd say the main disincentive for me picking this up is the pale skin tone. She looks like a ghost compared to many of your other figures. Maybe it would be useful as a Zombie or Vampire custom, but I'm a bit skeptical on the range of using this one. Thanks for sharing a video on this!👍

    Great work as always. I am also very careful with my vintage Geyper man figure. They stopped stamping the back of their figures in the 80s when they went with the Muscle body type. The Action man went with what they called their Dynamic Physique or Muscle body type. It is cool to collect figures from around the world which is what I have been currently on with Action Man although I have many that need clothes and I have been searching to put them in uniforms. Keep up the great work Gregorio.

    • @filmaholic17
      @filmaholic17 2 месяца назад

      Thank you for the kind remarks! Very interesting and thank you for sharing that as well. I would’ve thought that by the time they made their figures the muscle body would’ve been complete but little did I know that they had this transitional figure. Even the way it’s closed looks more like a talker body since it has screws in the back. Just one of those oddities I suppose. Slowly but surely I’m getting ahold of the missing figures I want for my collection. It’d help if I wasn’t in so many lines 😂

    Great video! I love to see people taking interest in Monster High (I'm a MH collector). Lately, I've been diving into Action Figures as well, mainly the Universal Monsters (I own Frankenstein and The Bride from Jada Toys) and Scarlet Witch ones (I got the West Coast Avengers Scarlet Witch and the Marvel Legends one from Multiverse Of Madness) and I totally agree with every point made in this video. I would love if Marvel had an agreement with Mattel and made some doll-sized figures of the heroes (maybe with "real hair"), because, honestly, when it comes to dolls, Hasbro is kind of known for it's poor quality. I would die for a 12-inch doll of the Scarlet Witch (and not for $350+ like the Hot Toys releases, more on a budget, as per say)

    • @filmaholic17
      @filmaholic17 3 месяца назад

    Hey, just ran across your video & as a Monster High collector, had to watch. I assume you purchased the 3 pack on Entertainment Earth? I didnt realize they would sell out so fast there & from they told me in an email reply, is they re not getting more. And I can't find any info that they will be available anywhere else. I just bit the bullet & paid double from a 3rd part seller on Amazon. I know ! 😬 Its a pre-order, they'll be released July 4th. But i didnt want to miss out on getting them at all. Ive wanted them for a long time. 🤷‍♀️ If they come out later widely available for everyone at retail, well then my mistake 😅

    Ooo, honestly yea doll collecting can be a struggle LOL, especially with the Generation 1 dolls with Monster high. Honestly with things like Smart Doll i personally havent seen too much overpriced things being resold in the community which is why id gravitate twords that more. I still work on my Monster high collection though. Though i do regret deeply not getting much before 2020, when their prices went up greatly with the Skullector Pennywise's release. I somehow am only missing the grady twins from the skullector series so far so yay on that lol. Enough bout me now i think g3 prices are certainly.. stable at the moment. If you get them early enough especially resellers, they go crazy on the prices though before the product fully releses which i dont understand why lol. But. With the rising g1 prices i suprisingly got a lot of dolls within 2020 which shows how much you can still actually get even if their prices are high as crap. My personal advice for who wants g1 dolls is get the expenive ones first (minus Deadfast ghoulia and black and white frankie 2010) and work your way down from there. I personally started with wave 1. Help sorry for the long rambling but just wanted to discuss important g1 stuff.. price wise atleast. Though if anyone seeing this wants to collect g1 i hope this helps! (Mattel needs to stop them scalpers for real lol) 😋

    Loved your video! Recently I've seen many action figure collectors (mostly Facebook groups that focus on Marvel Legends, Neca or McFarlane) get into Monster High and not necessarily g1, but g3. They praise the body diversity, hair types, clothes and that every character has their own face sculpt. I used to collect Marvel Legends, now I only collect dolls, but I'm still on the groups lol. When I was in the hobby and just collected ML, circa 2015, they were super toxic and misogynistic, mostly straight men, but with time I've seen that they have grown positively as a community, now adding dolls and even sharing photos of their Monster High dolls next to their action figures. At the end of the day, they are basically the same, our communities go through the same things w companies, distribution, inflation, resellers, inflation and scalpers. I'm really glad times have changed and ppl slowly are starting to realize that we are the same, doll collectors and action figure collectors haha. Loved your video, and sorry for my English, saludos from Chile 🇨🇱

      Yeah I used to collect legends as well but got tired of the hype culture and straight up infighting. Sure it happens in every community but it's like cmon we're already outsiders for collecting toys so why do we have to fight one another. Personally I can appreciate anyones interest as I can always learn from what they share. At the end of the day we're on the same rock so might as well enjoy it as best we can.

    Nylon is THE best hair type for dolls. MGA dolls tend to use Nylon exclusively unless they are doing a budget doll. Saran is 2nd to nylon, if you've ever felt nylon in person you could tell why. Then Poly is bottom tier because it's so dry and naturally just fizzes up and requires a bit of maintenance, Abbey has poly.

Unfortunately they still use the hair type for the surprise doll spin off skulltimate secrets due to them having to balance the budget of the doll with the locker display cases

      That's something I've noticed as well and I'm glad they're making that change. However I do find it curious about their reliance on that gimmick to sell figures. It was interesting the first couple of times but how many lockers can you get you know 😅

    unfortunately the hissfits still dont look like there coming to the uk anytime soon but im happy to see you enjoying them :D its nice to see how you feel about dolls :) also its worth mentioning because you were talking about price and quality that in the uk not only do we not know if dolls are coming over or when but we also have to spend 30pounds for a basic doll! (and we dont have the budget dolls here) thats 38dollars! almost 40!!! for a basic doll! in America I think the doll community are fine but in the uk (and I think most of Europe but we get stuff differently ;-;) I feel Mattel are shooting themselves in the foot. we need tp have the dolls at the same price Americans do because they dont advertise here so people see the prices, wonky faces and the ploy hair and dont get the dolls! I feel like thats important to say while talking about prices and such great video :D

      That's another thing I forgot to mention as well, we face the same problem in the action figure space as certain markets don't get releases or get price gouged. An action figure that would be $20 here would easily be upcharged to 40-50 for whatever reason. Not to mention store exclusives that pretty much close off foreign markets all together. If they were able to tighten up quality control and work on the pricing I think they'd find great success but then again I'm not a numbers guy so I wouldn't know 😅 Thanks for commenting

    From what we know as of now Monster high doesn't use Nylon hair. The only hair fibers the use as of now is Poly and Saran. Great video though! Love to see new collectors joining the hobby!

    Poly is the lowest of low hair fibres-it disintegrates faster then other hair fibres meaning in at least a decade dolls with poly will be straight out bold Monster high (and mattel as a whole) used to use kankilion i think is how you spell it-instead of poly, its a very thin wispy hair fibre that better mimicks real hair , its a much better hair fibre rhen poly but is lower then nylon & saran due to how easily it can break They stopped using it due to the store making it shutting down, people do hope mattel will swap to nylon but they likely cant cause they now burn the hair into the scalp and nylon has a high burning point then saran & poly

      Also be careful with kanekalon hair, it was discontinued for use because it would become toxic after exposed to heat. The older hair method was to put glue in the head and it would seep out of the head and was awful so I’m glad that’s no longer a thing we have to worry about

    i feel like i should mention the comic con doll that's coming next month of g1 ghoulia (the nerdy zombie) dressed up in cosplay as her favorite superhero Dead fast with little dead fast action figures on the heals of her shoes and a little mini action figure in a blister pack and a comic book. I should probably also mention that shes 70 usd and probably gonna be impossible to get, shes only available at the con itself and on the Mattel creations website and she'll like sell out in 2 minutes. I figure an action figure collector would be interested in an action figure themed doll even if you aren't actually able to get her.

    I believe why the fissfits threepack (the one you got) is online exclusive its cause at the start of this generation they did a 6 characters pack which includes 4 of the main 5 (Cleo, Draculaura, Clawdeen, and Frankie) as well as 2 more whose designs are store exclusive (Toralei and Deuce) and this massive 6 pack sold poorly. So the retails abstained from getting them so it became a none mayor retail exclusive. Also only 3 (1 more coming soon) dolls are region exclusives which are nicknamed the monsterista line, this is supposed to get 1 doll for each of the main 5 (lagoona is supposed to maybe come out next year, cleo is coming out on summer and the line started with the main 3 getting released at the same time, all 3 started with polly hair but there are new variants for drac and clawdeen with saran and frank's saran might release along side with cleo), the monsteristas are latina american exclusives as import prices on latinamerica are extremely high so core dolls that release for 25 might be selling between 45 to 65, so this budget dolls are created to sell for between 15 to 20 equivalents on the respective currency. This line lacks the ball joint that allows chest movement, but there are 2 budget lines that are meant to sell on the us and other countries, scareadise island is cheaper and lack the chest articulation, and day out (which has the same characters and also the similar release times like that of monsterista). The characters lacking the ball joints actually are more sturdy but the ball joint allow for better posing. Current G3 bodies are better than current G1 bodies cause alot of the reproductions from generation 1 have issues in their joints, while G3's issue might just be the hair quality. Also due to aesthetic Id suggest goreganizer drac or monster fest

      Interesting and thank you for sharing this information! I do recall seeing that 6 pack online while looking for dolls and wondered how they ever got to retail. On the action figure side of things we always hear from toy companies that retailers don't want large items as it takes up to much space. So when I saw that they came out with that 6 pack I just assumed it was a holiday thing for Christmas since that would never happen in the action figure space. Funnily enough I want that goreganizer Drac but haven't bitten the bullet yet haha. This all started because I found the budget Drac at Ross.

    • @sirdragonmoon7092
      @sirdragonmoon7092 3 месяца назад

      @@filmaholic17 the 6 pack was at the start of this generation, before this they released some reproductions that outsold basically instantly online and caused wars on the few phisical retails they were put on. They were thinking that the popularity of the previous generation would translate directly into this one. It's basically a booster pack to get your Collection started but it was quite expensive, and if you didn't like all of their designs for that release you could get their core versions for 25 instead of the more than 100 that pack was. It was a Walmart exclusive and seeing how it didn't perform as good they took it as a warning not to order that type of packs. They have done other changes like that, they started rereleasing their sets with characters included since at the start most of the ones that had none sold poorly, and they almost halted the production of boy characters due to them releasing the same boy character 3 times and none of them being that well received (all 3 are store exclusives), this last one might have been fixed due to how well the other 2 sold due to constantly being on sale and one of them being a budget price release. Most of the bigger Sets like goreganizer drac and spa day Lagoona are able to enter retail because they have are more than just the doll, the goreganizer is an organizer and spa day is basically a bunch of accesories for human hair as well as for the doll. Another thing that they have done to secure the big sets in store is to release one of the main characters exclusively there so that if you want to have the line complete you need to buy the expensive set, happened with Drac on Monster Fest, Lagoona on Scare-adise and Toralei for both monster fest and monster ball since she wears that outfit both times. The one thing that they have had more issues is with Frankie as the pride themed one that was originally target exclusive got dropped due to last year's war against target employees, they are supposed to release on Amazon just like the Rupaul doll but stuff like that explains why there are no Couples 2 pack this gen so far. Also if they restock her on Amazon she tends to go for less than $20 on sale, but she has a high chance to come with her arms stained by her mesh shirt (it can wash off if you scrub her with toothpaste), also the organizer the hissfits come with is the same (with a different pattern) that comes with that Drac, including the mirror and the divider

      @@jiggerblayne See that's the great thing about Gi Joe, most people associate him with the military but there was a spinoff called the Adventure Team. Same figures but they leaned more towards an adventure theme about exploring and what not. We just typically say gi Joe as it encompasses everything in the line. I do agree it would need some media backing but it's not impossible.
