My Very First 1/6 Military Figure
Posted by Miasong on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 with No comments
Hi guys!! It's been a while and I do apologize for not updating my blog due to a busy schedule. I'm really happy to see that there are a number of persons viewing my blog. Thank you so much! :)
With the long break I had with my Gundam and Macross collection, I found myself craving for some 1/6 figures. Yes, that's the new line that I am into right now and which is killing my wallet. Hahaha. This started with the Iron Man fever that I got after knowing that my 1/48 Macross collection is about to be completed. Although, I didn't grab all those reissues and variants that were released for the 1/48 scale, just one valkyrie for each kind is enough for me.
One thing that's true about me is that- I have the tendency to complete the particular line for my collection. With Gundams, it is very much impossible for me to complete it since there are a lot of Gundams being ruled out or released by Bandai... even sorting it out to just 1/100, MG, NG, or what- it's just way too many for my cabinet. If I focus on PGs alone, then it's going to be way too off with my budget as well... Hahaha..
So I just streamlined a few of my Gundam collects (never for my Macross) and then focused on the newly found interest. At first, my eyes were set on Iron Man... then to the troopers released by Sideshow/ Hot Toys (Militaries of Star Wars). These two lines are never far from my previous collection since my interest is mainly on mechs or robots.
Just recently, I got fascinated on how accurate the head sculpts were for some 1/6 figures. Then I started thinking of building my own military on woodland and desert uniforms.
So I prioritized the head sculpts first and got myself Sean Connery and Jason Statham's HS. Sean is my old time favourite and Jason at present.
... and for the first 1/6 haul- it's Crazy Dummy's MK46 MOD 1 Gunner, U.S. Navy Seal Team 3.
