I've seen those somewhere before...pretty cool!

[Tamer]

Yep, paint those up and they would be nice.

I picked up these 3 vinyl hedgehogs at Walmart while grocery shopping.

The sculpt is really nice, but they are a bit softer than I would like. I am hoping after plugging the hole where the tag was attached that they will be a bit sturdier.

I plan on repainting them, adding fangs and a ratlike tail (possibly with a spiked club at the end) and using them as alien creatures in one of my eventual dioramas.

I would like to find 3 more so I can have my customizing OCD required "6 of everything" 🤣

Picked up these multicolored foil flakes in the Dollar Tree+ section of Dollar Tree this morning while out running errands.

I will be putting them into small transparent containers and using then for magical ingredients or exotic elements in future dioramas.

[Tamer]

Great idea.

This upcoming "Power Rangers: Lightning Collection" 6" scale Minotaur figure could work very well with 3.75"/4" fantasy figures!

[Tamer]

Yeah, it doesn't look too shabby.

Now if you can just afford Hasbro prices.

I grabbed these today at Five Below. They are essentially 1/18 scale.

Action figure food items are not the easiest things to come by cheaply so I grabbed all 3 that they had. I might hit another Five Below tomorrow or Monday and grab some more.

That is awesome! Food items in 1/18 is hard to come by, usually they're 1/12ish. Wacky Packages, mini brands etc.  Ill swing by five below tomorrow see what i can find.

I went to Michael's a while back got the junkbots. I really just wanted the container, and was curious about the contents. Its cool, just it's overpriced for my application. The scale is all over the place. When I get time I'll post pictures, but they're interesting. If the price was lower id get more.

The contents with a 4" figure. The Boba tea is too big unless it is a Double Gulp from 7-11. The pressure cooker is a bit big, but it can just be a large model. The instant noodles are a bit big unless they are supposed to be a family sized carton. Everything else is pretty spot on for 1/18 scale.

I picked up this reptile tank decoration at Patsmart for $11.87 (down from $19.99). It makes for a great mini diorama accessory. It has several areas (on top of the skull, a larger landing behind the skull, stairs) where figures can be posed and there is even a cave that runs the entire length of the decoration with access through the side under the stairs and the mouth of the skull.

I would have posed the figure to be crouching inside the entrance (the cave is just slightly lower than 4"), but I was trying to keep my kitten from jumping up on the table while I was taking photos 🤣

Thought this would be of interest to any 3.75"/4" action figure customizers/collectors:

[Starchaser]

That looks interesting.

[Tamer]

Glanced at this and saw some other interesting ones too, like the light up Optimus Prime Head.

That one lights up. Pretty cool stuff.

I found these cool resin skull 3pks for $1 each! They are too large for human skulls at the 3.75"/4" scale, but are great for titan or giant skulls.

They are in the $1-$5 section in the front of the store by the registers.
