Thank you !

Re: the order cancellation ...yeah....that's what i've read on/in all of the Mega dedicated sites and threads. If you see something you need ...grab it when you have the first chance. Both new and old product are hard to find at non scalper prices. Distribution is nuts.

On the other hand i'm having genuine fun customzing due to this line. Part swapping *so* stress free.

FYI...these are 2 inches tall (Mega Scale):

I'm not sure if i need them as i Diaclone Reboot fills my micro mecha needs and they aren't the same scale. They are interesting though.

1) WHERE DO I GET THESE?!
2) Are these the things you hinted at a while back as being in the works?
3) Those are resin prints, is this a line that is coming out or small batches that will be sold as they are made?
4) WHERE DO I GET THESE?!

No the line I hinted at a while back has been quiet (the creator) but i'll post pics of what I have later.

It's a Diaclone scale figure that has actual human proportions and a non armored body (one was painted in colors that makes the figure look like a blue and grey costumed Bruce Wayne without his cape or cowl).

Looking at those again, I really wish someone would make a series of articulated 2" figures and/or a series of articulated 1" figures and release just figure packs. Make vehicles and other accessories if you want, but release the figures in build packs where it's just the figures, with maybe some weapons but not even that if it's a choice between one more figure or weapons. Weapons, vehicles, etc are easy enough to come up with from other lines or scratch-building. Well-made figures are a lot more difficult.

I found a MOTU Teila out in the wild for the first time on Black Friday. It kind fo creeped me out. I looked around to see if anyone was watching me because surely this was a mistake.

I bet lol. I still think anything past wave 1 is just a myth.

How do I get those... in multiples...


This is what I got today, just arrived from my 11.11 order on Aliexpress:

The order was supposed to be 24 figures. I technically got 24, but as you can see from one in the front row, that's if you count mismatched figures. However, since it was an 11.11 sale, they were a lot cheaper than they're going for now, so even with that, I got a pretty good deal, at less than $1/figure. Plus, there were a ton of extra parts in the package -- not enough for another figure, but enough for some odds and ends customizing.

I also finished this the other day (the z-banding isn't nearly as noticeable in person. The camera flash highlighted it):

Mark did any of the non masked ko mega heads come in a brown flesh tone? I've been trying to figure that out for months based upon the various product images I've seen with no luck. Each picture has been edited like crazy (that I've seen).

Regarding the figures I showed. .*sigh* you can't buy in multiples yet for whatever reason . However ... if things don't change soon ...

You will :shifty:

In the mean time I'll put together another one tonight and confirm if it's the best construction method when taking human proportions and playability into account. If not I'll make some modifications and then tell you all what I did. I'm trying hard to respect the time and the effort the creator put into these thus my being cryptic. It's not my place to fully reveal what he is doing or critique his release schedule regardless of how I feel about it.

There were two of the bald-headed with sunglasses heads in brown and two of the 'hat' heads (the ones with the T on top for putting on head gear. However, there were a couple of different heads in the various bags, so I almost think the head mix is a bit random.

I can understand wanting to respect the other guy and appreciate that. I'm just anxious to see new figures in my current scales and not seeing a lot.

Really like the Starcom figures. I never really had those figures as a kid but a friend did and I always thought they were so cool. Now you have me wanting Mega to do some of them.

Who owns the StarCom license nowadays? That could be a very cool MB line indeed.
