Just a random question for the gang here. What figure do you "play" with the most? I know many of us are too old to actually play with them, but my figure is super posable Spider-Man from the first ASM. I don't have him in my diorama so I often just pick him up pose him and let him surprise my girlfriend with goofy gestures and random places throughout the house.
Just wondering if anyone else does anything similar? |

I like that spiderman figure too but mine spent too much time alone and the right hand fell off.
I can't stop fidgeting with my AA black widow. I passed on her forever cuz I didn't like how the hair and head were one molded sculpt, but I found one at Ross for $5 and she has good articulation and can get into some nice poses. I love doing customs too, but they take up a lot of time and at this scale there isn't much room for error. These custom pics look fantastic. For a split second I thought bloodshed was a custom night thrasher. |

I def grab figures and pose them !!!! Set them up in different scenes. i have a great excuse to actually do all out battles my 8 year old son !!!!! so we have bases and and tie ropes for escape lines etc. This newer generation has missed out on actually playing with toys, everything is video game this and app that..so to give him a taste of actually playing with lil plastic men on the floor and using his imagination AWESOME SAUCE !!!! Best example last time he was here to visit he put the pillows in his room down as a damn put a blanket behind them and tells me dad Namor is going to blow the damn and wash the town away.. I couldn't have been more proud !!!
And thanks Kdub for the custom/modification ..it looks like its coming along Last edited by samsson37; 11-20-2014 at 05:50 PM.. |

I remember the old 90's ToyBiz line having a lot of BD figures and I loved them! I desperately want a Spidey with a cracked eye lends, and wolverine with the classic ripped up uniform, and half torn off mask. Hell I'd re-buy most of the main figures if they'd only retool a bit of rippage and battle scars! (and no, I don't count two Punishers loosing there arms during opening as "battle damage".)

Oddly the one I find myself messing around with the most lately is Deaths head. It's weird considering I'm not really a fan (the only exposure I've had to him was a brief appearance in an X-men comic when I was a kid) but that figure for some reason just really impresses me! the sculpt, the accessories, interchangeable hand, the cape/armor piece I find everything about it awesome (but if anyone can explain the "nipple holes" on his chest I'd appreciate it)

Battle damaged spiderman is like a mainstay in the comic, and I had and loved that toybiz version. You would think, Hadbro would have tripped all over itself to jump at the chance to make one! It has every element that Hasbro loves!!!!!! 1. Re issuing a previously released figure 2. A simple repaint 3. No need for actual quality control since any paint error could be chalked up to more battle damage It's the Hasbro version of a grand slam(baseball term for when someone hits a home run with the bases loaded) !!! But they never bothered to even swing.

It features my second least liked feature on action figures behind the ab crunch, ball jointed hips. Despite the name, the articulation isn't all that great, but, it's good enough for posing, and it's the only figure available that can be used in your display that actually looks correctly sized. But it needs customizing because the headsculpt is terrible (head, neck joint and paint). Here is a link to an unpackaged one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Incredible-H...item1e9427e04c

Has anyone thought of doing an Abzorbing Man where he has that thing that Stormtroopers used to have where you put water on it and a blast mark would appear, except all over his body?
It might look better than the partial metal Creel. |

Really just the Hulk that you like the most for whatever reason you like it. According to the Marvel encyclopedia (updated and expanded for 2014) Hulk is 7' tall, and according to the Marvel-wiki he ranges from 7'-8' as typical Hulk. Just like the Moon Knight figure uses the original muscle-built body which is one of the shortest bodies of the line, but he's 6'2" according to everything. Wolverine is usually 5'3" making his figures typically too big. The scaling on these is out of order, but they're generally close enough with the idea that Hulk, Apocalypse, Thanos, Omega Red, Abomination, etc. are bigger than the other guys even if they don't match the scale of a fictional universe. Personally I use the Hulk from the collectible comic shots version because I like the sculpt/pose and paint and he still comes off big enough to be Hulk, but you can really use whatever you want. 12" jumbo Hulk with your 4" MU figures, why not?
Like the toybiz Juggs that had the light up hand...if going by size...then the size of his figure would be about right ? Right ? The same as if ya grabbed the Ronan from the silver surfer series..etc Personally I like the MU Hulk, Thanos , etc figs at their height...I just notice so many ppl use different ones so just getting a idea if you used a massive hulk would you inturn use a ML Juggs ...am I making any sense lol |
