Hey Hey Realmers! Ya know what really grinds my gears??? The fact that articulated animal action figures is grossly underrepresented!!!! Like they got that Figma horse, which is pretty nice but a bit small IMO for that large a price tag. And they got the horses from Lord of the Rings, which are about the best a lowly customizer such as myself can get. But what about other animals? Like a good falcon or bird of some sort. Or really any other kind of mount or monster or really just a scale representation of ANY animal. I seent a guy custom make a nice velociraptor out of spare marvel legends parts and lots of sculpt. But what other options are out there?!?!?! Whats do yous guys think?!?!?!
Ah! I just got a Lord of the Rings 3.75" Warg and it is a PERFECT dog or wolf! Very nicely articulated. Goes perfectly with 1:12 scale! ...pass it on...
Hazaa! I just found and pre-ordered a new line of scientifically accurate velociraptor figures that is still on kickstarter. Beasts of the Mesazoic it is called! Fully articulate feathered dino's! 1/6 scale velociraptor. Comes to about 5 or 6 inches tall and they look SWEET! A Mighty tharlarion mount indeed!
Yeah, cool figs, I've been wanting dino figs like that since forever, but 45 bucks is painful. The aftermarket prices are gonna be even worse though lol, so good idea getting them now
Specifically I am looking for a big @$$ bird to use as a mount. Like the ones Gandalf and party rode on in the Hobbit. Or like the "Tarns" form the GOR saga by author John Norman. Need a 1/12 scale rider to fit on ones back.
Depending on the animal, it can be tough to give it functional articulation. To the toy company, making the joints may not be worth the cost just to let the head move 5 degrees.
I think it would be an interesting project to have people submit drawings of how they would articulate various animals. I'd like to see how different people balance aesthetics against articulation, complexity against cost, etc.
Please wait...
