    Hey....I bought some figures on empire toy shop- there all gamorrean guards, it cost $3 for 3 figures on preorder. Is this a scam or are there deals that good

    • @sirdork730
      @sirdork730  3 роки тому +5

      Definitely not a scam! Sometimes for preorders, shops will have you put a small deposit down. But then you’ll have to pay the full amount when it ships!
      Keep an eye on your email because you will have to pay the remaining amount later on!

    I noticed you use a lot of water, and heat (fireworks/flames), and abrasives (sand), near or directly on your figures. Do they not get permanently damaged? (Heat can warp plastic, sand can scratch paint, water can cause bacterial/fungal growth if you don't clean and dry the toy thoroughly.

      Yes you’re always putting your figures at risk when using effects like those. They rarely get damaged, but every once in a while a little char or warping happens. Just depends on if your willing to risk it 😁

    I usually use Neca and Hasbro! Neca has a lot of great detailed figures that have great accessories and sculpts. I find their articulation decent for the most part. Mostly collect their horror figures. Hasbro has a great selection of figures for their Star Wars and Marvel Legends. They’re very affordable and posable!
    I also like to use Lego too, but they’re so tiny. Lego is good to customize and you can build your own backgrounds and set pieces easily. Lego has a lot of good franchises and so you got a lot of options to pick from when shopping for them.
