Anybody else picking things up from this line?

Just got Doubleknife delivered and this shit is amazing. Considering trying to figure out how to Taobao to get some of the older figs in this line because despite the quality being kinda shit, for the price point these seem to be good ass toys.

Only their 1:18 figures.

They're great. About as good as Toy Notch's Lost Planet figures, but with better paint jobs.
Excellent joints and plastics.
I like them more than Acid Rain stuff.

I look forward to their 1:18 mecha, despite the very generic knockoff designs.

Honestly I can forgive them basically ripping off Titanfall because I really do want toys of that kind. Was a huge LP2 fan and got the Toy Notch stuff on release and was horribly disappointed by the price point to quality and just never bothered with the PTX. It feels like that the only toys where you got a giant robot piloted by a tiny poseable pilot but it's like, but this $500 3A figure or buy this Scopedog that hasn't been made in 8 years.

Like for barely $100 I am perfectly fine with too tight ratchets and somewhat sticky washed plastic.

I'm almost definitely going to pick up the Zeus one after this. Gotta try to figure out how the fuck

I'm glad they're ripping off Titanfall. It's not like there are too many official releases

The Toy Notch figures are fantastic.
Their only fuck up was the atrocious eyes, but everything else was solidily painted.
The joints are buttery smooth and have a lot of range despite their great sculpts.

For other figures in their price point, like Hiya's Alien/Predator stuff, Toy Notch's is still better. Hiya's plastics are a little too fragile for my taste and made me scared to put this alien back together.

I think Dark Source's stuff could be cheaper, but they do include a lot of accessories and a nifty drop pod seats/droppod/container.

And i agree with you about the mech, I'm basically buying one just to show my support and for more can be made in the future.

I pre-ordered the Dual Blade and Zeus at the same time. When I saw them, I was sold.

I grabbed 4 of the Nevec mooks to make the default team and one had an ankle busted out of the box. Just wasn't worth it at all despite being decent paint-wise.

The Zeus is pretty good just smaller than the Dual Blade. Which is why the price is $30 less.

Anybody tried prying apart Doubleknife's thighs yet?

I tried opening mine up but I think they glued them shut and the only thing keeping this fig from being peak shit is these weak thigh swivels. Just need to get some future shine or something in there but I can't figure out how.

I'm thinking of picking up some figures; what size are the 1/18 and 1/24 scale (in inches)

I'm fucking retarded and don't know how to convert it.

Also, where do I buy these, and how is the quality of the figures? I don't want cheap figures that'll risk breaking on me. Is there another online vendor besides BigBadToyStore?

I'm a Lego collector, but this line of action figures entice me. I love the Titanfall look to them!

I'm the guy posting most of the Doubleknife and he's the only one I got at the moment. Like i said above, the only issue is super loose thighs and I cannot tighten them up at the moment. The actual pilot figs are great and basically flawless.

That helps me decide easier; I am mainly looking at purchasing the actual figures instead of the mechs, but I read that the figures require some gluing, which kind of turns me off. The figures are soooo fucking sick tho, I love the way they look. Do you know of any similar lines of action figures?

They don't really, I just glue the bits that came with the pilots into them, small pouches and stuff. It just makes it easier since I don't plan on swapping bits around.

I think he meant if they looked good pretending that they are 1/12 non-piloted robots if you keep their cockpits closed. Like, if the details work well or they have too obvious off-scale things like 1/24 ladders or other molded accesories, how big they are standing next to humans, etc.

Not really anything on Doubleknife that's actually sculpted to imply size beyond the pilot, I guess.

This dude is indeed quite dope, I'm wondering how the quality is in comparison with earlier releases, which I've heard mixed things about.

I have my eyes on this lovely thing, myself. Like the sleeker look and the giant sword. Are these all based on Titanfall designs, though? I was never sure about that.

No, as far as I know it’s 1:25

Seems like it actually has the same sword as double knife, but I like the sleeker frame
