Marvel and Today in Off Topic by Sativaguy   
Sunday, February 5, 2023
   [Edit]
I see so many anymore complaining about the accuracy of lots of different figures. Especially my area Marvel legends and Marvel Diamond Select. Oh they missed a curve here or a dip shouldn't be there. Or the shade of this color is off by a billionth..If it's that bad then don't buy them. When you mold and mess with them, then I believe that is disgraceful to the Figure and its Comic it originated from. No they aren't exact as the co ic. But with today it won't always be. Now you got MCU and Dcu plus the Comic versions to make for people.Try to make every figure each person clamors for and you'd really have some crappy figures.So just be glad we got them to enjoy...!!!...[See More]
Star wars hot wheel collectors in Off Topic by Charley Gibbs   
Sunday, June 12, 2022
   [Edit]
I'm new to this site looking for people collecting star wars hot wheels starships. As of recently I learned that the new star wars hot wheels starships are scaled up bigger size, no more will be released in the smaller scale. I've been building a collection for only Grandchild and ebay is very helpful. Looking to work on the older collection of the smaller scaled ships from 2015 to 2021. If anyone else is collecting them maybe we can help one another out thank you for your time and I really appreciate this site....[See More]

I am relatively new to Figure Realm and just wanted to introduce myself to the community.

Right now I am mostly focusing on collecting ARAH, Playmates Star Trek, and Star Wars/Star Trek Micro Machines.

I have noticed that the Micro Machines Checklists are missing many sets that I have in my collection. Once I get everything dusted off and pictures taken I will be working on updates for those checklists. This website is a great place, and I hope to help make it better.

I also collect any action figure that strikes my fancy, mostly toy lines I enjoyed as a child, but also some new lines.

I kept all my childhood toys, but lost them in a fire back in '12 so I am also keeping an eye out to replace the specific figures I had.

I do not have a...[See More]

TESTORS MODEL MASTER PAINTS DICONTINUED. in Off Topic by Legendary Customs   
Tuesday, May 11, 2021
   [Edit]
So I walked into my local Hobby Lobby looking to restock my paints when, much to my chagrin, I discovered that Testors has discontinued their Model Master acrylic paints. OH NOSE !!!!
Any suggestions from my fellow Realmers on what brands I should replace them with. I really like the Citadell paints (they do tend to dry up really fast inside the pots though),and I have used Tamiya and Vallejo paints as well on occasion. Curious to know what you guys and gals in the community will be using going forward if you like me mainly utilized the Testors products....[See More]
Ebay's New Payment Mangagement in Off Topic by MercMouth Customs   
Sunday, February 7, 2021
   [Edit]
This is out of curiosity more than anything else. I was hoping to get a feeling for how many Realmer's are going to keep using Ebay to sell their figures once all sellers are forced to use the new Payment management that requires you give Ebay a bank account to deposit the money directly in after taking their fees.

If any of you are planning to move to a different selling service, which ones are you going to and why?...[See More]

I have had a free Square store for a while now, no complaints. The only fee you pay is for Square's payment processing, which is the same as Paypal's.

The free shop lets you take credit card payments, apple pay and google pay. If you want to take Paypal payments too you would need to upgrade to a paid tier.

I will continue to use eBay. I actually opened a completely different bank account specifically for eBay to make things easier for me and keeping track of anything fraudulent.
So far no issues and I like it better than having fees for eBay and PayPal..... now I get paid quicker and have less fees to deal with.

The Truth. in Off Topic by MercMouth Customs

Hello all. An accusation has been made against me that I have harassed a fellow Realmer into leaving the site. I am writing this to set the record straight. This accusation is untrue. I was surfing the Realm on Jan 14, 2019, when I came across the work of ACCustomFigures. Specifically, I was admiring his Into the Spider-verse Mile Morales that he had made. As I was doing so I noticed a small error in ACCF's figure description, in that he had described his figure as "screen accurate". Examining his photos, I realized that ACCF had in fact neglected to paint the silver lines present in the movie's costume.

Seeing as this could have been a mistake or oversight, and seeing that he had requested critiques on the figure I sent a comment complim...[See More]

You're all good brother. I know it doesn't matter, but after I saw his latest post, I looked back at previous submissions to find the harassment. I saw only two of his customs you commented on, and didn't see anything close to harassment. I even looked at some of your comments to others, and saw no other complaints.
I don't know if he saw it, but I tried explaining he mistook your comments as mean spirited when in fact in was only a personality conflict if anything. I know it doesn't mean anything, because I'm just a nobody, lol. But I think it was a misunderstanding if anything, but I don't think you did anything to purposely attack him.
Best of luck my friend!
