Besides using clamshell bits what else could you use to make something like this without wasting $25-28 to buy it from a shitty movie with props you don't care about?
>>11904135I think you're missing the point here anon. Someone buys this because it's from the movie with a bunch of props. There are way too many of you on this board that can't see the forest for the trees. It's concerning.
>>11904140>does want potentially cool thing to use as a display >blah blah>forrest trees
>>11904284Stupid is as stupid does
>>11904140Nobody bought it which is why it's on clearance.

>>11904135You're probably gonna end up spending more money on material to make something like that, especially if you don't know what you're doing. >>11904314The worst part about it isn't actually the cube itself, that's a neat little display stand, even if it looks pretty cheap. No, the worst part about it is that the accessories it comes with are absolutely garbage. It could've easily been a cool, stealth accessory set for their awful movie figures, but instead of making neat looking weapons and such from the movie, they chucked in a bunch of cartoonish garbage that matches neither the live action aesthetic nor the aesthetic from the Monsters/Drizzt figures they put out. If they kept some sort of thematic cohesion, it would've been a great little display stand to go with other figures in the line. As is, and at it's original price, it's just junk. Hasbro dropped the ball HARD with the D&D push. Which is a shame because they really could've done something special with the line seeing as it's technically a brand they entirely own.
>>11904335Im glad it bombed because like with the video game industry in america collapsing on itself it just goes to show how retarded everyone is over there and dont deserve anything nice hence the skyrocketing price of everything worthwhile

>>11904135Acrylic display cubes + hot glue and translucent paint. But you'd probably still end up spending that same amount of money for the materials plus your time as well.
>>11904341>>11904364I'm not concerned about money and I'm not sure I need an acrylic box. Target doesn't even sell the cracked acrylic Brightroom storage boxes but some of the stores donate them to thrift stores instead of destroying them or landfilling them, and you can find one. But even new, with a lid, this is just $7 for example. I'm thinking ice cube or cloud 'box' or gas 'box.' But thank you for at least answering.
>>11904335>you don't know what you're doingI'm capable enough. Also this reply >>11904371 was meant for you as well, not 4341

>>11904135Step 1 make jello Step 2 cut into cubeStep 3Step 4 profit
>>11905936Too much work. Go to your Grandma's and ask if she has an empty 45 oz blue bonnet margarine container (she probably has 10), make a batch of jello and let it set in the container and why you're at throw your marvel legends the Hood inside. Leave it overnight and flip that thing upside down on a plate next morning and there you have it.
>>11905936>>11905963Jello is unhealthy
>>11904371>>11904373Yea, you don't need an acrylic box specifically for this, but you would need to have a better idea of what you want out of the project. Do you want it to be stiff and rigid like the Hasbro cube or would you want a more soft rubbery texture? Do you want it to actual hold a figure inside or do you want it entirely sealed closed up? Do you want it to be completely solid or hollow inside? Essentially, making the cube would just be like making a mold for a toy, so the process would be pretty similar. But you would still need a concrete concept of what you want the final product to be like so you end up buying the correct materials to create the cube you want.
>>11906278>would you want a more soft rubbery textureIdeally>Do you want it to actual hold a figure insidenot necessarily a 'figure' but to have options, it shouldn't be a sealed box. And yes, therefore "hollow."And thanks.
>>11906247so is plasticizer, what's your point?
>>11908852You might be choosing to out plasticizer in your body. I, on the other hand ....
>>11904135Why not just make your own Silicone cube anon? depending on what brand you use you can get different results, most folks in the cosplay and 3d printing scene use Dragonskin since it's quite good for mold making and other such things, i am not sure if there's a translucent version of the brand, but i know others exist, i also know that the best way to dye them is using Alcohol inks, also while writing this comment i discovered something called Urethane Resin which can end up making things like pic related, which i assume can also be dyed to your liking
>>11909236Thanks for the suggestion on dragonskin, albeit the stuff looks expensive.Alcohol markers are great. I've been using sets of off-brand water and alcohol Gundam style markers for customization and it's been a real eye-opener over acrylic paint with a brush.
>>11904135You just made me interested in this and found one on ebay used for $6 so bought it =) Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
>>11909337How much did postage add?
Wow imagine my shock, grown men spreging out about things for children looking cheap.
>>11910258
>>11910357I don't know what this is supposed to be conveying towards me.
>>11909236>DragonskinJEEZ THIS SHIT IS EXPENSIVE
>>11910359
>>11910106I'm in the UK, so was converting. Shipping was cheap. I think this is a much better idea than trying to make one myself.>>11904135Whilst doing my research I came across these clear sheets that looked interesting.https://www.amazon.co.uk/BESPORTBLE-Supplies-Materials-Pearlescent-Miniature/dp/B0FBL6FPLW/
Well i got my cube. Pretty lackluster. I can understand why nobody got it. Feels cheap and flimsy. Looks ok from a distance. Lucky it was cheap.
>>11914909I was only going to buy it if it was cheap, like under $20. Or even less. I've seen it cheap on eBay, under $15/$14 but then, of course, there's the shipping fees. Unless you could find a local pickup. At least it's something different and not another Spider-Man chasing doc oc display
sorry I made cube
>>11904135Can I stick my penis in it?
>>11920170Only if you fill it with near frozen water first for the best effect.
