These are a little OT, but They are the Same Scale as 3 3/4 Star Wars Fig. and They look Sweet in Your What if Dioramas. Give the Predator a Few Sta Wars Artifacts, Like a Light Saber or Stromtrooper Helmet on his Trophy wall and Wala! You've got a Great Fan Fic Custom. These are Japanese Vending Machine Prizes, They Come Disasembled but, Once assembled they are Super Articulated and the Detail in the Paint Aps. Is Amazing. These Cost About $20 Bucks from my Local Comic Shop. But. for the Quality I think it's worth It. The Only Draw Back is that they Are Blind Packaged. I Got Lucky and Scored two of the Better
Figures in the Assortment.
Here are Some Pics.

Ok, I went to my local comic Shop last night, they cary a wide selection of Reaper Minature Paints, So, I picked Up a couple to Try. The Paint Scratched off very easily off the Test Micolady Head I painted. I did not see any type of Spray on Primer. I assume everyone using the Reaper Paints has to Prime the Figure first? There is a Hobby Shop that carries a lot of Model Paints in my area, but there buisness Hrs are kind of inconvienent, so I won't get a chance to Check there Paints out till next Week. Do the Citedel Paints need a Primer Base first?

Very cool looking set of Fan Fic Troopers you've got there.

Comm. Clone> Great Concept. You did a Great job of smoothing the Top of the Helmet off, where the Fin was. What did the Process involved? The Marking look Geat Very Original and the weathering is top notch. This is my Favorite of the Bunch.

Engineer Trooper> Another Great Concept. The Blue Marking look good, although the Paint Aps. look a little thick on the Helmet.

um coGood Job keep It Up.

I got a few Lady Micromen figs today, and I'd like to get started customizing them. Unfortunately I don't know What Kind of Paint Would Allow them Full Articulation w/out Chipping or peeling...It 'd be kind of Pointless if I Customized them and Had to leave them Static. Can someone help me out here.

First of all, How my comments about some Collectors being whiny and Lazy, could ever be considered more offensive than some others comments of Army Building being a form of mental Illness, is beyond me.The rant at the end of my post was a defensive response to those Comments and I do not apologise for defending myself and other Army Builders w/ Vigor. Although the Cursing was Wrong and for that I do Apologise. I do not think that the Collection of 95 UT Clones was aquired through standard retail collecting avenues, It would be highly improbable to aquire that many UT Clones in such a short amount of time. So, this guy most likely paid a higher price than most of us would for his Army. If he has the resources to do it let him. It is a free Country after all .  I personally have a very good territory  for my Collecting needs, I aquire most of my Army Builders from 4 or 5 Retail Stores that are on my route to and from the Office. So, my collecting Does not cut into my real life as much as some. It just requires, not hitting the Snooze Button more than once. I live in a Major  Metropolitan  part of South FL and their are Dozens of other Retail Stores for other Collectors to have at that I do not frequent regulary. My Collection did not magically apear over night, I began Collecting Star Wars again in 1995, so my Collection of 250 Stormtroopers was aquired over 11 Years. Thats 4,015 Days, which means I've aquired .062 of my Stromtrooper collection every Day over the Last 11 Years. A lot of that was aquired through Trades (Helping the Star Wars Community). I've been a member of the Star Wars Trade Fedration since 2000, and have helped many of my fellow collectors get Hard to find Figures. At one point I was Trading the Lego Republic Gunships for 10 Sneak Preview Troopers, If thats not helping other Collectors out I don't know what is. A lot of other collectors feel that army Builders hurt the Hobby, But if you took the Army Builders out of the Hobby do you think Hasbro would be so commited to making Star Wars Figures. Every Army Builder leaves a much larger imprint on the action figure  Market than a regular Collector, I personally feel that I leave a Market Imprint of at leats 10 Normal Collectors or Kids. If you take that Imprint and those of every other Army Builder out of the Market How long do you think Hasbro will feel that the Star Wars Brand is a Viable License. I would put Money on the fact that the Utapau Clone will see the Largest Realease of any of the figures released this year, Because of Arny Builders like myself. Now on the Defensive again, I have a very full Life, a little to full if you ask my friends and Family. I have a Wonderful Wife ( She lets me have My Own Star Wars Room too) and 2 Boys (Spaz & Stitch), whom I put above my Collecting Always! I wake up every Mornig at   5 AM to go for a Run or go to the Gym.  I Compete in Triathlons Durring the Spring and summer Months. I'm a Regional Manager of an Optical Chain, which takes up about 60 Hrs of my time a week. I also have a Small Ebay Buisness that I run. (No Scalping!!!!). My point is that I feel these attacks on Army Builders are out of jealousy and not of any logical reasoning. Army Building is good for the Hobby. Look at the Products we have recieved because of Army Building. The Entertainment Earth Clone Trooper 4 Packs, Clone Army 3 Packs from the Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith, Comtech and Sand trooper army Buider 4 Packs, The Target Clone Troopers and Coruscant Attack Multipack, And We've Got a Great Set of ARC Troopers from the Clone Wars Series comming Up.

Long Live the GAR!

I'm an Army Buider. I collect Clones and Stormtroopers by the Hundreds. It takes time to build Armies that Large at retail price, so I wake up early and hit every Target and Walmart on my way to work every morning. Usally I get there before other collectors do, but not always. For the first couple of months when an Army Buider, like a Clone or Stormtrooper is realeased, I buy everyone I see. Once I've  satified my apetite for a paticular figure, I start to slow down and pick only the best examples of that Army Builder I can find (Perfect Paint Aps). Then I may start only picking up that figure for  Customs I want to make. For this I usually buy Imperfect figs, as I hate destroying Perfect Army Builders. After that I usually Stop Buying that Figure, But, by that time I've amassed a respectable Army. The Size of the Army I build usually depends on My Diorama needs, For Example the 501st Troopers I need about 30, The Emperors Red Shock Trooper about 10, White Episode 1 Clones 200+, Stormtroopers 250+. I know Some of you think I'm a major Butt Hole for buying so many Troopers, but I work hard to meet my collecting goals, and I work hard for the Money I use to obtain it. So, I have every right to Buy as Many of these figures as I want. If your whiny ass can't find the Army Builders your looking for, mabey you should get your lazy ass out of bed a little earlier or do a late Night Walmart Run when they are Stocking the Shelves, and mabey you'll get those figures that I am Hoarding for my own Greedy purposes. Or, Just wait till I have my fill and take the Scraps I leave for you. Army Builders Like me are going to insure that Hasbro make Plenty of Trooper figs for you to collect, So when they finally make that Delta Squad 4 Pack that you so Desperately want, just remeber that us Army Builders made it Happed for you.
