Re: Post Your Action Figure Shots!

@JTCh: Clone Wars I believe. And I'm sort of waiting for the rest of my figs to come in the mail before I post any pics. >_<

@TK: Did you mod that Grievous man? I bought one last year but he had so much trouble standing that I just returned it. Now that I'm into CW for real I sort of want a Grievous but I remember how disappointing it was...



Only 'action shot' I have of my CW stuff for now.

Re: Post Your Action Figure Shots!

Yup its a modded clone wars grievous.
I stole skelet0r's idea and took ig-86's joints and attached them to grievous.

And I agree, Grievous figure itself is pretty damn dissapointing out of the package, but he is pretty damn good now.

Re: Post Your Action Figure Shots!

Tkim, got any link to those Grievous mods?

@Icetron: Nice clones! I can't even find any clones here since the sale started. Must have been too late.

Re: Post Your Action Figure Shots!

Thanks Tkim! Just to clarify, only one of IG86 was used here? And what problems did the modification solve? I don't have a Grievous, so I do not know what was the original problem.

Re: Post Your Action Figure Shots!

np! yup just one IG-86 was used.
and as for the mod it pretty much made this figure awesome by adding alot of articulation.
eg, the arm was one piece being articulated only at the shoulder. Samething for the legs, it only had swivel joint at the hips..think megnaguard's legs.

The mod itself isnt that hard, only took me about an hour and 30 mins to do.

If you're interested in doing the mod for yourself, I say take advantage of the 'buy 2 for 10 bucks' sale going on at TRU
and pick them up.

I picked up two more ig-86s :] thinking of doing my megnaguard next.

Also, if you're going to do the mod, keep in mind that the hip and shoulder joint pegs are pretty deep inside the body (about half a centimetre in) so it would be a good idea to cut into the body to get the joint out.

Re: Post Your Action Figure Shots!

Thanks for the info, now if I can find a Grievous. I see plenty of IG86, but really haven't seen Grievous much. Let me know how it goes with the Magnaguard mod too!

Yeah there were only 3 regular clones the night before the sale at my local TRU but I bought 2 of them...no more Clone Wars clones at all. All the Legacy clones sold out yesterday.
