KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) As there has been som talk about the doopydoo DLT lately I thought to show mine up against my hyperfirm MG-34. (please keep in mind this was taken with my mobile camera, so the picture quality is soso) I have yet to add the t-tracks to the MG, so these are more or less as they come out of the box. The hyperfirm as been painted though. Hyperfirm MG on top, Doopydoo DLT on the bottom Some overall comparison pictures. Hyperfirm is the shiny one^^ Will continue with close ups of detail differences. Edited June 10, 2011 by Acima Quote
KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 More pictures! You can take a few pictures more right? Quote
KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) And last how the doopydoo blaster comes out of the box: You just screw the parts together.. too bad it screws on crocked :/ My idea how to fix this is to either just glue it together in the correct angle, or add new screws. Or add something at the base to make is tighten at the wanted angle, if that makes any sense. Anyone got another idea? Well.. that was it Edited June 10, 2011 by Acima Quote
Deathstep Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Doopydoo's looks better in my opinion, it's crafted better and easier to assemble also. Unless you're a sucker for shiny stuff, go with doopy Quote
ctankep Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Just out of curiosity how did you get these mgs? As i never get any answer from doopydoo and one cant buy hyperfirm outside the us(?) Nice pics btw. Edited June 10, 2011 by ctankep Quote
KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) The doopydoo blaster I got from doopydoo themselves. Tok around 3/4 weeks from ordering time till I got it. No problem for me to get an email through. The hyperfirm was sold to me by a trooper Edited June 10, 2011 by Acima Quote
While Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 They both look really good. How is the weight? And stability/fragileness of the two? Quote
KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) I prefer the hyperfirm one myself for trooping. Though dooydoo has the clean lines I really like. Hyperfirm is alot lighter, so me with my skinny arms can carry it with no worries. Doopydoo has more of a real weapon feel in weight. As perhaps some troopers might like. There is no coming around that hyperfirm is the most comfortable for trooping as you can drop it, bump into people and overall just hit people with it with no worries. Doopydoo I would be a bit worried to drop, as with any resin props. Though to me it feels a bit more sturdy then other resin props. Still, I do like the look of the doopydoo very much! It all depends on how crisp a look you want and if the dropping possiblities are worth it. What looks good vs. whats practical really. Edited June 10, 2011 by Acima Quote
While Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Can you split the hyperfirm one in two pieces? How easy is it to bring too troops etc. Quote
KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 One can not split the hyperfirm, so one will need to have a spesial bag/crate/box to bring it in. I might just sew a padded bag for it. But if you need to take an airplane with it, I would get a weapon case. Quote
BananoPower22[TK] Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 The DoopyDoos looks fantastic! The detail on it is incredible, I love it. I love the hyperfirm too (I have one and it's on its way here.. :S ) Are all hyperfirms identical? Did Slavefive made the one you own? Quote
KarinOlava Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 It looks pretty sweet, yes. Thought if would be nice for other members to see the two up against each other. I don't know if all the hyperfirms are identical. And I don't know the maker of mine as I got it from another 501st member. Might be able to ask him about that though.. Quote
bobojuice Posted June 10, 2011 Report Posted June 10, 2011 Really digging that doopydoos version. Looks very nice. Who wants to volunteer to go pick some up and bring them back? Quote
irocink33[TK] Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 If all goes well, I'll be in Austria next year and bringing an empty suitcase... Sure wish I could make sure I could get this. It's a great kit that doopys. Quote
TK-7959[TK] Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 I have tried to reach Doopydoos a couple of times, using two diferent mail adresses/internet suppliers, and still no answer after several weeks... :/ Quote
bigironvault Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Jealous! I wish we could get hyperfirms over here in Canada. Theoretically, it would be much better for trooping, droping on the floor, and kids. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 The doopydoos looks nicer, but my concern is damage. I can drop my hyperfim weapons on concrete floors and even just toss them on the ground for demonstration and they don't break. I've had a resin rifle (clone) once and gosh forbid it fall over or drop, as it just shattered in places or would chip if knocked in to things. They may not be as quite as detailed, but 5 years later I still have my MG-34 and it looks none the worse for wear. It will be interesting to hear how the DD holds up over time. Quote
inglorious trooper Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 also been trying to get hold of d.d on the phone number to order a mg34 for 3 weeks and phone is always switched off! Quote
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) They are both very nice! I personally like the look of the hyperfirm better. It was obviously cast off a real gun with all the nicks n scratches on the stock, and overall weathered appearance. The doopydoos is too cleaned up for my taste...in my opinion . However id proudly use either. For pure durability/weight though, id go with hyperfirm. they make the best blasters out there for trooping, just no way around it!

Beren[501st] Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 Has anyone had any luck drilling into the barrel end of the hyperfirm to make it look more realistic? Quote
ZeroRoom[TK] Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks for posting these! Both have pluses and minuses in different areas, but for me the Hyperfirm wins over all. From a distance it just looks more convincing. Quote
RATBASTIRD Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Has anyone had any luck drilling into the barrel end of the hyperfirm to make it look more realistic? I've been reading through a lot of posts to educate myself before I make any armor/weapon purchases. I also have the same question about the barrel. Quote
WESTVIG Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 I wanted the Doopy Doos but he does not ship it to the United States. Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Great thread and posts. I personally love my Hyperfirm but have always wanted to know more about the Doopy version. Thanks for putting this together. Quote
mrcosmo1[TK] Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 I wanted the Doopy Doos but he does not ship it to the United States. I have purchased a Hasbro conversion and a resin build from them. They do ship to U.S. It just takes a while (like 4-6 weeks). Go to http://www.doopydoos.com/ Of course you can't go wrong with a hyperfirm either. Good luck. Quote
