  • Now nothing says action figures like some dynamic posing, and superior articulation.
    In today's video I share "a lot of special modifications I've made myself", that help a few of my favorite characters reach the proper “action figure” title.

    You did everything Hasbro should've been thinking to do from the start. Hopefully they get the hint with some re-release 🤞🤞

    Can you do anything to Hoth Luke’s shoulders? He only looks good hanging upside down. Thank you for adding way more content lately. We can all see the time and effort you put into your work and it does not go unnoticed. You make life more enjoyable, thanks Main.

      Yeah I have been meaning to update that Luke, with the current better head sculpts, and the hat from the Hoth Trooper 4 packs. I saw this online and it looks so much better! Maybe those trooper arms would be a decent option for shoulder replacements?

I wanna have the hips from say book of boba fett and a better peg hole for the jet pack again like boba fett..... but dunno how to go about it.... i had an idea of cutting the awkward peg from mandos jet pack finding some way to fill in the huge hole in it the glue a magnet on it and then a magnet on mandos back

  • @StephenMurphy96
    @StephenMurphy96 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Those are some cool modifications. It would be nice to get some of these characters again but I don't know if they will. Maybe Anakin and Cad since they have the means to do those characters.
    Honestly they dropped the ball by not having a special Force Unleashed wave this year for the 15th anniversary. New Starkiller, Evo Trooper and Jumptrooper would have been cool and if they really wanted to a new Maris Brood and Juno Eclipse but they'd likely just focus on repaint/retools for a special wave like they did the 2D Clone Wars wave. They've got the cardback name now. Why not use it?
    As for Cad and Aurra Cad would be easy for sure. I have all three of the original Clone Wars releases including the Pirate Speeder Bike one which while odd to have with him and not with like a Hondo or Ohnaka pirate I still thought was cool and it would be good for diorama displays. I had Clone Wars Aurra too with the badly painted antenna and would prefer having that Vintage one.
    Really I'm surprised releases like Fennec haven't been used to upgrade or release more of the female bounty hunter characters. Characters like Aurra and Zam would benefit from upgrades. Then you could put out characters like Drash from Book of Boba and Sugi and Rumi from The Clone Wars as to complete her crew since Embo and Seripas were already released in The Clone Wars line although I'm sure some people would want realistic versions of those characters and I'm lucky to have Embo in my stored away collection.
    Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Looking forward to the next video.

    • @ToysAreTheWay
      @ToysAreTheWay  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah there's a bunch they can do for TFU, especially with the more definitive trooper molds that we have now! And hopefully we will see a new female officer sculpt soon that can get us Juno.
      I'm still hopeful that we will see an Aurra some day, she's just one of those very popular figures that would sell. They could also re paint her for the all black assassin look, getting more bang for their buck.
      I think Embo would do very well with a TVC release, the CW figure was pretty good, but I can only imagine how incredible that character would be with all the excellent articulation we are seeing these days. I would definitely pick up a few of him ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨

    • @ToysAreTheWay
      @ToysAreTheWay  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah he's definitely a much better figure wit this modification. So it was 1 part easy, but also 1 part challenging. Taking them apart and just having the AOTC legs instead of heavily adjusting something else is the easy part.
      But I did have to shave the peg to be slightly shorter and less bulky, and then heat up his torso in hot water multiple times and apply a lot of force to push the two parts together until they were flush. It was definitely the most challenging experience I've had doing that to a figure, maybe an hours more of work. ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨
