Blimey Talia's dress sure does fit where it touches

I’m just loving all the pictures of ladies night in the ammo arms Dal. Your female agents sure do have a lot of ladies nights in their local. In picture 2 I wonder what’s the joke that the 4 girls are sharing between themselves.
In picture 3 Ana is trailing three games of pool behind Talia, let’s hope Ana can clew back three games. Who’s going to win between Ana and Talia, who knows. Who say's CY Girls can't have fun?, that’s totally true CY girls CAN SO HAVE FUN .

You gotta be as strong as Wonder Woman to lift beer mugs of that size! The AMMO Arms is certainly generous with their servings!

(I'm finding the same problem: "1:6-scale" mugs are either too big or too tiny.)

Certainly have to agree about the ju.....oh, you said "MUGS"! Phew! For a minute there.....

Dal, there are of course many things to admire in your photos but for me, the primary achievement is the way you manage to have the faces look as though they are actually interacting in conversation.
We all know that the expressions on our figures are static and fixed, but the way you have positioned the heads and the eye-lines somehow seems to work around that limitation.
Great effort.

I do notice that The Arms apparently does not have a policy of leaving your guns at the door!
Then I guess it's not called The "ARMS" for nothing?

Why is only Barbie that gets the job as barmaid?!

Yeah, the Ammo Arms has adopted the German litre sized drinks . Getting the right size is a pain, but sometimes you have to work with what you can get I guess?

Thanks Barry! I guess its from all the years of reading comics? I spent a while drawing them, and eye lines and positioning are something you have to get right.
they refuse to give up their guns, but with a terminator T-800 as a bouncer, Joe the landlord isn't too worried

The only job the barbies can have is barmaids, I don't think they would be much good in combat?

Well you've done especially well, because despite Phicens having some variations in the bodies, when you look closely at the head-sculpts they all seem to wear exactly the same expression. Same mouth, same eyes.

That's not always the case, particularly with the eyes. In some Phicen/TBLeague figures, the pupils of the eyes are placed differently, which can make the figures challenging to photograph. Photographs taken from the wrong angle can give the otherwise realistically painted eyes a weird or even goofy effect. This variation in the eyes adds an element of challenge to creating scenes with multiple Phicen figures, and illustrates the "eye" for detail that BlondeActionMan has when working with multiple Phicen figures.

Very true Dave, it is also not exclusive to phicens, Hot toys and even action man and Joe's eyes can move over time, (EE's) and often ph and fh (painted heads and fuzzy heads) often have misalignment of the pupils which can also add to the challenge. I cannot say for sure whether the modern action man suffer the same problem as I only own a couple and their eyes are fine?

Top work Dal,
got to agree with all the comments- Ammo Arms is a hit !

How many female agents of BAM are there now?

Looking forward to seeing more of the girls in the field - they all look prepped for action !!

Thanks Steve . I have around twenty five females of different makes.

Joe & Hank 2.0 in, who's round is it?

Haven't seen beer steins THAT big since Oktoberfest!
Generous servings there too!

I’m really liking the picture of Professor Gangrene sharing a drink in celebration with Fynn after the successful creation of Dr x's first clone soldier. OMG Dr.X is trying to convince Logan in joining him and his gang. Mmmmmm I wonder why Dalek Sec isn’t looking to interested in joining Mr Redbox. The last picture is sooooo cute.

Professor G looks quite dashing in his white suit!

More very natural scenes from the Ammo Arms!

(I take it the rebuild has been postponed?)
