So, the riptide is clearly a huge model. I have yet to build mine but I'm sure I'm going to need a new case for it since I don't have room in my current case. Would the smaller games workshop case work if I laid it down on it's side or would I need some other special case? Would it fit in this? http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440149a&prodId=prod1095470

You'd have to cut out a section for it, but I should think it would.

The torso of the riptide fits into a socket at the waist. I left that unglued so I can move it in two parts.

That case you gonna need for your fire warriors etc :/ the riptide you can always take in a box in your backpack or something with loadsah bubblewrap it's cheap! if not about being cheap, *points at battlefoam*

I hope you're right.

I want something with a handle though. Or a strap.

The torso of the riptide is a socket, which means its easily magnetizable for easier storage.
Though what you really should do is magnetize the arms and legs, paint the arms green and red, the legs yellow and blue, and the torso black.
Then when danger threatens the tau homeworld they can summon their greatest champion, Voltron.
