...and to make matters worse... there's gonna be a black version Isn't that like the 6th or the 7th version of the Kaiser? How come Aoshima R&D aren't as innovative as Bandai's? SGP I would hardly call it innovative, it is more of exploitive. They churn out dozens of recolors just from the same molds.

How much do you reckon this will cost? It will be great on any Mazinger collection!

Ey! thanks for replying to this thread, finally someone who appreciates them (at least in this forum) came up. Funny that I posted it three years ago. Well, better late than never. I havent actually collected any of them but few years ago they tickled my fancy. Dub City cars simply put a magical spin to the usual car scale models I see on toy shelves.

Do any of you guys collect them? are they worthy collectibles, in the sense that they are easily resold if cash is needed?
I find them very well made. Flashy and alluring to me.

Mods: excuse for OT exchange - just replying. When gunning for detail on one-off custom molds: Use alginate - used for dental impressions. This is a little pricey. Cheaper but also effective is dental plaster of paris - dentures-grade (green-colored, much finer grain so less bubble-risk). Go see your neighborhood dentist (or dental student) if they can spare some supplies. In my limited experience, clay expands a bit when fired, especially when u overcook it (as I always do using an oven toaster). You will lose detail. Same goes for epoxy. It tends to run. The kneaded epoxy might work better - watch out for air bubbles though. Thank you for the excellent advice and yes, mods, I beg your pardon for going OT, just couldn't wait for an answer through another thread. ;-) I will check some med supplies nearby for alginate and other similar material. dont want to spend to much on something so small. Again thank you!! MP

Wow! Those customs are very nice. It must have taken a lot of time, effort and determination to make them. About one day for each. Not counting the hunting period for the base figures. I worked with sculpey for the heads to give me more control. But I guess the kneaded epoxy could work as well, with no oven needed. Excellent work chap! Hope I can get your advice. I need to replace a lost part of one of my S.I.C. figures. It is a wee bit part of it's arm armour. What type of putty/epoxy is best to customize it? What I intend to do is make a negative of the lost part by using the spare from its other arm. will clay serve as an excellent mold for it? TIA!
