    PLEASE HELP: need pics of He-Man next to Talon Fighter and Point dread for scale

    Can anyone help me find images of a vintage He-Man standing next to a vintage Talon Fighter? Origins won't due, they make too many changes, I need straight vintage. I'm looking to figure out the scale for a project, and I can't seem to find this kind of image online. I can find lots of images of all the stuff, just not with He-Man standing next to it.



    Some images I could use are:

    (01) Straight-on shot from the front

    (02) Straight-on shot from the side

    (03) Straight-on shot from the back

    (04) Any interior closeups and He-man sitting inside would help as well, because those aren't easy to find either. (If it seats two figures then a shot with someone in the back seat would be nice as well)



    I don't really expect much, because I know that uploading pictures on the .org is a pain, but if anyone is willing to help it would really go a long way. Thank you for any help you can offer.

    While I would still like all of the photos mentioned, I managed to find a shot in the Battle Ram blog post that featured Adam and Zodac (and others) that I was able to edit to get some pretty good idea of scale from the front, but I still can't find anything from the side, so that would be most appreciated.

    Ideally it would be the TF from the side (camera down level with the TF) with one figure standing in front or behind, and a series of figures laying down head to toe to get an idea of the length of the TF compared to the figures.

    A few shots from different angles with figures inside, but the canopy open would be helpful as well.

    I really would appreciate the help.

    I could take some photos of it. But for your purposes would you really just need to know the measurements of the Talon Fighter?

    Not really. I need to know where certain parts of the detail are in relation to scale, and several other things. Plus I'm a visual study, I don't think I'd really be able to use measurements. I'm building a LEGO/MCX TF in scale to the figures as the vintage items are, so converting the vintage measurements to the MCX scale is something I might not even be able to do. But thank you though, I appreciate the idea.

    Big thanks to Lich Leach for some EXTREMELY helpful photos. I really appreciate it my good sir.

    MORE HELP NEEDED:

    Could someone take some pictures of Point Dread for me? If posting on the .org is too much trouble (and it probably is) then I can send you my email address via pm, that should make things a lot easier.

    I need a straight on view of JUST the top half of PD with He-Man standing next to it, a side view with He-Man standing next to it and the same two shots for the bottom half of PD, and maybe one with PD assembled and He-Man standing next to it, front or side doesn't matter. He-Man should be facing the camera straight on in each shot. I guess I also need a good close-up of the cardboard computer console with He-Man standing next to it if possible.

    I guess I could also use a shot of the top of PD on top of Grayskull from behind, with He-Man standing inside, if a figure fits in there (I'm not even sure if he will). If he won't fit, then he can be standing as close to it as possible, so that I can get an idea of scale.

    Hopefully someone can help me out, it would be VERY helpful and much appreciated.

    PLEASE HELP:

    Can someone at least confirm if a figure stands inside PD when the two halves are assembled? And what about when the top half is on Grayskull, can a figure stand in that space? That one little bit of info would go a long way, although pictures would be much more helpful.

    Thank you.

    YES!!! Thank you Todd! That is a huge help!

    I already have it built, but now I can see that mine is way to short, as He-man can't stand in there. But it should be an easy prospect to tweek into correction.

    I really appreciate all that you did. I can't believe that you bought a shell just to take some photos!

    Thank you so much my friend!

    Thank you brother. I feel the same way.

    I still can't believe you went to all that trouble though!

    Also, I didn't realize that it was so much darker than Grayskull; is that typical? I know there are variations between the different factories, so are there some that more closely match Grayskull in tone, or are they generally darker, as He-Bro's example is?

    NEW REQUEST:

    I know I'm asking for a lot, but is there anyone who has the vintage Central Tower that could stand it next to vintage Grayskull for me? Ideally I could use the following shots, but really just (01) would go a long way:

    (01) Side by side (front view)

    (02) Interior shots of just central tower with He-Man standing on each level

    Remember, if posting pics on the .org is too cumbersome send me your email (if you're comfortable with that) and you can send me photos that way.

    Still need help with the last request.

    Also, did the vintage Grayskull come with two banner stickers to place in the throne room? I thought it was one, but the MEGA version comes with two. I can't find images online of a castle with two banners. Was this just an addition for the MCX version?

    Vintage had one. Classics, MEGA, and Origins has two.
