Sorry if this isn't allowed- feel free to delete if not. Didn't see anything similar, and wasn't sure where else would be a good place to post.

Figured we could have a sort of "help each other out" thread where we let others know what we're on the lookout for- old and new- and if anyone has one, sees one, knows of one, etc., they can help get it for them or point them in the right direction with a link or recommended store. Specific details like payment, trade, etc. would be up to the folks in the deal, and of course, leaving feedback in the appropriate thread.

To kick things off, I'm in the market for a specific 1:6 scale outfit, but have no idea where to start, since I'm still pretty new to the 1:6 scale. It's for the Threezero Walking Dead Carol; I really want to find an outfit that matches the McFarlane figure of her season 4 look- pink/tan shirt, tan jacket and pants, etc. I've seen a few customs over the years, and I saw that CAT Toys did an outfit kit damn near a decade ago now, and the only listing I see on the Bay is close to $500. I know I'll probably have to shell out a little bit, and that's cool, but does anyone happen to know of one that would work? Or people/places that make custom 1:6 outfits?
 
Now that I've gotten into action figures I sure wish my grandmother was still alive. She used to make the most awesome Barbie clothes for my sister and cousin that just blew away the stuff Mattel was doing. She could whip that up for your Carol in no time. I'd have her making custom capes for everything I own.

Have you looked into some of the soft goods makers online and see if they would do custom work? It would need to be someone who was into 1:6 and probably had that figure though, is the only thing. It would be hard for them to properly size everything without the figure to try it on. I got out of 1:6 years ago so I don't even know who is doing those kinds of things these days but there used to be a pretty good community of them.
 
Anyone have any recommendations on good 1:6 scale dioramas or bases? Just picked up a cheap Sao Feng from Pirates 3 and would love something interesting to go with him- a wooden pirate ship deck, beach deck, temple, or ideally something like the Singapore bathhouse. Found a couple sellers on Etsy that sell 1:6 bases, but haven't quite found one that would be perfect just yet.
 
EDIT: Go look at my Sale thread, the Wants are at the bottom lol.

I didn't like how the preview was taking up half this thread... 😳

Just wanted to pop in and ask if anyone had any reccommendations on weapons/accessories for the DC Multiverse Bank Robber Joker? Weapon-wise, I'm looking for something as close to the gun he uses in the movie; I have less than zero idea about guns, but apparently it's a converted Glock 17? I've looked high and low and can't find anything in scale, even 3D printed (though I've seen some posts from folks who've had them made, but none of them can apparently remember who made them). I'm also on the lookout for something that resembles the duffle bag he uses, but the only ones I've seen were again 3D printed by unknown sources. But if anyone has any leads, I'd love to hear them! Thanks, all!
 
I'm trying to piece together a Toybiz Fantastic Four box set. I could use the following:

Reed Richards and his white lab coat

Franklin Richards

HERBIE

three of the FF bases with a 4 on it

Dr. Doom's base
 
Anyone had any experience with commissioning 3D printed figures based off movie characters? I know folks 3D print themselves or loved ones all the time, but I don't often see many custom figures for pre-existing characters. I know it's time-consuming and expensive, but I'm looking to commission a couple for a gift for someone. Looking for something a bit sturdier than the typical 3D printed figure- isn't 3D printed vinyl a thing? Or some sort of plastic? Any leads would be quite welcome!
 
I assume these are 3D printed but this is a good place to start:

@josh I've only looked into it a bit, but Craniac does commissions on headsculpts, at least. They did the Echo one someone here had (though Craniac has yet to list that sculpt for sale!). Don't know about bodies.

I'M LOOKING FOR: anyone have in their not-using box the Ultron from the Age of Ultron Target 3-pack with Buzzcut Hulk and Vision? Just looking for Ultron. :)
