New Figure! Flagset Doomsday War Series End War Death Squad U Umir + Dog Suit





Flagset Doomsday War Series End War Death Squad U Umir + Dog Suit


Well, I finally got my Flagset figure and I really dig it overall. I made the purchase a while back from GIANTOY ( I really dig them and their unique selection) and did the action figure wait as holidays and the most recent virus outbreak has sent poor Asia spinning. :(

And yesterday, the package arrived!






I'm happy to say that 95%...maybe more...is what's on the tin.  It's a very cool figure with a lot of great accessories to trick her out with. (list below) 

The figure is solidly constructed and packed well in a sturdy box with the two layer foam design so common now - figure up top and accessories below. The only small issue I had there was that the individual shotgun shells came loose and a few were floating around. I didn't loose any, so no harm there.

You get a fun amount of detail in the figure overall. A nice head sculpt, cool guns, an axe....

She's ready to take on the world! :)
























I have two main complaints and they are relatively small.


The Dog
Oh my....the radiation has really done a number on the dog. hehehehe It's eyes are just....strange....and there isn't a lot of detail to it. However, what it lacks there it gains....WITH ITS SUPER COOL SHOTGUN HOLDER HARNESS!!!!!  :)




The Bald Head
While I totally love the option for hair or baldness with the figure, I found myself wishing that the seam was a little less visible.  You can see that there is a big difference between what was shown and the final result. 




The arm elbow joint areas were not as bendy as in the photos either, but it wasn't enough to be concerned about.


All in all, both GIANTOY and FLAGSET are still rocking the party as far as I'm concerned. GIANTOY has great customer service and prices. FLAGSET seems like they are providing quality based on this figure. I'd buy again, for sure.





This figure combined with my two Pinyike Realistic Robot Series All Purpose Humanoids and my Villa Sister Python Stripe Camouflage make a really cool post-apocalyptic, science fiction team! I can't wait to get out with my girls and take some photos of them out in the wild!

Hoverbike update - March 3rd, 2020







The ladies have gotten some work done on the hoverbike! :::grin::::



Loving the MILLIPUT product!!! Works like it says on the tin. It's a two part putty product that is nice and sticky to hold parts together, but then it drys rock hard in about three hours. Thanks again to Dorgmal Snow for the heads up on this product! https://www.facebook.com/dorgmal  It's been the base for things through my whole process and I actually plan on using a lot more to finish things off this week.





I had plans on building out the hover sections with styrene, but I think I'm going to mostly use Milliput with my additions and battery pack instead of a lot of styrene cutting. And, seeing as weight isn't a problem, I'm not worried about the additional putty weighing it down.




I'm using one of my N scale lighting packs to light it up as well.







And saving small drink bottles and bits of plastic is a great way to add some details to your projects! :)





So, it only took six or so years to get to this point. hehehehe . Now I'm excited to finish, but also want to make sure I'm not being too slap-dash with things. Sections like the tubes above and the putty I slapped on will be covered up with some details to make it look less sloppy. The Devil's in the details.  I really want to detail this up once the main part of the bike is finished. Little bits stacked on to make it look a bit more sci fi.

ONWARD!
