    Generally speaking, 6" is far too small. At scale 8" is 1 1/2" to the foot; 6" scale is 1" per foot. So anything at 6" scale would be comically small, and the smaller the accessory the more obvious. It's easier to fool the eye with larger things like cars, but still noticeable the scale is too small. Unless that's the look you are going for. The best judge is how it looks to your eye.

        Some times you can. A lot of times weapons are over sized and work well. I have found a perfect in scale AK 47 rifle in a dollar store with one of those plastic figure they sell. The gun was far to large for the figure it was sold with, but perfect for AJ.

          Some of the discount store ninjas have accessories that will work for a Deadpool. I hardly ever have luck with the regular production marvel or DC stuff. It's usually way too big or way too small.

            just been looking at some cheapo stores online and the 6" figures look to have long swords which could work.maybe doc mego has some the right size.

              I would agree with this.... I found a pair of binoculars with a 3 3/4" figure that worked great with Mego size figures... Also found some swords from figures of the 3 3/4" scale that worked great with Megos as well...
