    Okay, I think I've nailed it this time...

    My revised prototype, fresh from the printer.

    IMG_5684.jpg.0d5a3c15df0728da664616a9ae8dbd91.jpg

    Scale looks precisely anime-accurate now, I think...

    ...meaning it only seats one figure, not three.  Sorry, Matchbox. 😜

    Note this model has yet to receive any glue, paint, sanding or surface prep. of any kind...

    What you see is what you get. 🔒

    For those of you with modelling skills (and ambition), I'll be printing clear upgrade parts for the headlight, brake light and turn signals, but you'll have to cut the solid parts off the bike to replace 'em... 🤔

    The headlight, at least, can be cleanly removed with a little force.

    Great job! The hover cycle fits the Dana figure perfectly now after downsizing the file.

    So yeah, wound up customizing Wet-Suit :rolleyes::

    I think the display is good now.  Got all four branches of the military represented, have the OG13 in there, and the four lady Joes from the original run:

    Nice G.I. Joe collection Mog! I used to have the old Wet-Suit figure back in the 80's along with many others. I am still looking to get more of these figures. I want to get these two figures (Seymour 'Sci-Fi and Dial-Tone) in the next couple of weeks as I liked the designs of these figures. I ended having two of these old O-Ring figures of Sci-Fi and re-painted all of the green to chrome on one of them so it looked more like Robocop. The Robocop toys weren't available in those days at least where I lived and my re-painted figure was my substitute.

    With all that multiverse stuff, he probably just got yanked over from a dimension where he was used for weapon X instead of Logan. I guess that Logan would just be able to heal really well after his very breakable bones keep getting snapped in fist fights and he regrets stepping into bars because he can smell everything even though he really needs a drink

    It's still a head scratcher that Hot Toys would release this Wolverinepool figure. Hot Toys are turning into specialist for everything in between for IP's these days for better or worse. Thanks for the information. 

  4. tekering  Seriously, though... "Seats up to 3 fashion dolls."  🤨

    Those Matchbox packaging designers must've been on crack back in the '80s. 🤪

    It sounds like an overreach at best that the "fashion dolls" could stay seated for about 3 seconds before falling off in play.

    It's not.  That artwork greatly exaggerates the angle of the seat.

    These orthographic views are a lot more consistent:

    It has become clear to me that the engine pods are all oversized on Jose's model, and the front fairing along with them.  I'll make substantial adjustments to scale and proportions for the next prototype.

    Those Navy Division (NA.D.) outfits never even appeared in the anime, yet they got model kits instead of the Spartas Hovertanks...? 🤨

    Southern Cross merchandise was a joke, all right. 🙄

    there’s a Beavis and Butthead joke waiting to happen for this guy.

    Somebody had to spot it!

    Some pics I found on a quick search

    The seat may have to angle up just a little and I never realized how triangular the seat actually is supposed to be. And the front while looking totally awesome is probably too big like you said. Looks like the top of the console area is pretty close to level with the top of the seat maybe just slightly lower than the top of the seat, it’s a bit tough to tell from that over the top view picture 

    I like that top image of the hover cycle.

    This is a must buy. 🤑 It will be one of those figures that your eyes just immediately looks upon. How did Deadpool gets those wonderful claws, don't know? I just know I like it. Available in a limited quantity of 2,000 units. Deadpool & Wolverine - 1:6 Wolverinepool

    Oh dear, it looks like I overshot the mark... :unsure:

    IMG_5636.jpg.864159995ec0fe08220d73c9fea29de5.jpg

    It's definitely too big for the figure. 😐

    IMG_5641.jpg.83ab0005a3ac53e80789595dfb3f6426.jpg

    At least, the front part is too big... 🤨

    IMG_5643.jpg.2df0a4ae65493278a46583c9d7442ccf.jpg

    I'm not sure how consistently scaled all the various segments are, to be honest.  I'll have to do a little experimenting, and see what proportions best suit the Dana figure.

    In the meantime, constructive criticism is encouraged. Tell me where you think needs fixing. 😇

    You just need a bit of trial and error while scaling down the hover bike until you get the right fit for the Dana figure.

    Riding into the Mando and Grogu movie hype.  Do I need explain who these characters are or are we like illiterate and need some one to read it and tell who they are to us?!?  

    Since I already have 3 variants of the Hot Toys 1/6 scale Mandalorian figures, I don't really need the new version from the Mandalorian & Grogu movie. I prefer the Hot Toys - TMS052 The Mandalorian & Grogu (Deluxe Version) which has Boba Fett's armour, The Dark Saber and Beskar Spear.

     

    If you have not already purchased a Hot Toys 1/6 scale version of Din Djarin - The Mandalorian, then this figure would be an excellent figure to own. The head sculpt is better again and Din Djarin's flight suit is now the correct colour of brown. Depending on your preference, the armour is cleaner with less dirt and grime.
