Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
Real nice, real nice. May I recommend repainting the batpod?

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
The Batman that comes with it isn't as overwhelmingly out of scale as I thought, but still seems bigger than the others. I may pick one up nonetheless; it fits on the board nicely.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
I found some motorcycles in Toys R Us that fit great on one hex. They're called Nitro Mites. I got one (blind purchase in a bag) for $1.50 today.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
Blind purchase huh? Do you know what the possibilities are (pictures on a display stand or the package itself) or is it a complete surprise? With more and more motorcycle options, we might need a DO for them soon. It would be cool to have Hulk pick one up and throw it at someone too. I actually used some of my motorcycles today on a city map, but just as movement blockers as they were parked next to a building.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
There's 24 pictures on the back of the bag plus they have some packs where you can see what you're getting. Since I didn't care about the colors, I just grabbed a bag. They also have Marvel licensed motorcycles for a little more. I was thinking about getting the pack with Captain America's bike.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
I might be heading to Toys R Us sometime soon. Capt. Americas bike would be pretty tempting depending on how it looks. Throw up some pics if you get a chance. I'd love to see how they match up in size with the bikes I already have.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
A couple weeks back I stopped by Toys R Us and managed to find those Nitro Mites, I didn't buy any though. They just were not what I was expecting. A little on the small side and really cartoony in style. I don't think they would have fit in at all with the Hot Wheels motorcycles and 1:43 scale trucks I have already. Thanks for letting me know about them though quozl, I would have never found them had I not been actively searching for them as they were not in the superhero or toy car section.
I did stop by Walmart today and picked up some new motorcycles though. No pictures to post right now but a quick review. I got the Ducati 1098R, it is a yellow sporty racing bike similar to a Ninja. The riders hands are now circles that envelope the handlebar grips so the figure does stay on quite nicely, however he is sculpted in a position to suggest that he is leaning into a turn which throws off the bikes balance. I could not get the bike to stand up on it's own at first, unlike all the other bikes I have, but then suddenly it did stand on it's own. So while possible to get the bike to stand up freely, I think I'll end up having to make some kind of stand for this one. The other bike I got was the Blast Lane. It is a chopper style bike and the figure only has one hand on the handlebar. Since they had a bunch of this one in stock I actually bought 3 of them with the intention of someday turning them into my G.I. Joe Dreadnoughts. I'm going to try to cut away the arm he has across his lap and replace it with an arm holding the appropriate weapon. Flame thrower for Torch, Chainsaw for Buzzer (or even a chain saw gun if the soon to be released Gears of War minis have something I can use), and a gun with a big blade on the end for Ripper. I don't expect the weapons and arms to be too difficult to find and mod with the help of some green stuff, it will just take some time collecting it all. The harder part will be finding 3 new heads. I think a head with a Mo-Hawk for Ripper I can actually find, but then Torch and Buzzer heads I'm not too sure about. Anyways, don't expect to see these custom figures anytime soon as I have tons of projects sitting around not getting done already but I wanted to share my plans with you all in case someone was interested in following my lead. The Hot Wheels Motorcycles might not be so easy to find a year or two from now when I finally get all 3 custom figures done so buy them now. |

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
That mod sounds great! I know what you mean with alot of mods still in the idea phase/ in pieces stage. I have wanted to turn the giant machine gun Punisher into Roadblock since I saw the figure, but alas, no cuts yet.
By the way, they are called Dreadnoks. Semi-Retired C3G Hero (and first Official Member of the C3G Target Audience!) The correct way to add C3G playtests to posts.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
Yeah, the Nitro Mite motorcycles fit in better with the Hot Wheels cars C3G uses, not the 1:43 stuff.

Re: A Discussion on Scale in C3G
Hmmmm....I have that Punisher figure with the huge chain gun and never thought about him as Roadblock. That sounds like a good idea so be sure to share your results and process if you ever get around to it. I'm still holding out hope that Heroclix will announce a G.I. Joe line base on the 80's comics but since it does not look like that will happen custom jobs is the only alternative.
