When I get back home Friday I can take a close-up pic if you'd like.

Madame Warlock · 11-05-2015, 05:28 PM

I didn't know there was a Man of Steel Supes that big.

snake5289 · 11-05-2015, 06:14 PM

I think he's just a hair smaller than Origins Batman but slightly taller than most of the DCC Injustice figures. I'll post a couple of comparison pics when I get back home tomorrow.

Plus I've rearranged my DC figures a bit since I took that pic anyway.

Madame Warlock · 11-05-2015, 08:57 PM

what's it look like in packing? i haven't seen it anywhere.

Probably a little bland to some but a few touch-ups can make all the difference. I thought the armored Zod was really nice too. Those were the only two I got though unless you count the other Superman I repainted into Bizarro.

You can probably find one pretty cheap on eBay or Amazon if you're looking for one.

Just a heads up ladies and gents Multiverse Deathstroke is back on Amazon for 9.99. Grab him up while he lasts.

I'd take his advise if I were you...I picked up 4 more from Walmart.com before they sold out. I will definitely hook some of you guys up if you don't find one before I get mine shipped.

snake5289 · 11-06-2015, 10:26 AM

I'm gonna order one a little later myself. I've waited a while to get one for a decent price so I hope I could help you guys out too.

Here's the email...

Jay West · 11-06-2015, 11:20 AM

I keep trying to get a Walgreens Catwoman on eBay, but keep loosing. I really want that figure even with the potentially new hip joints.

snake5289 · 11-06-2015, 12:57 PM

Just ordered Deathstroke along with Rocko's Modern Life and vol.2 of New 52 Green Lantern. Hooray for free shipping.

And here's an update of my DC setup (which will again be updated when Deathstroke gets here).

And those close-ups of MoS Superman I promised Madame Warlock.

Madame Warlock · 11-06-2015, 01:22 PM

Oh you repainted the injustice flash, looks good. Thinking about it. I love that Flash fig, works great with MU.

snake5289 · 11-06-2015, 01:34 PM

I did thank you. The gold lines around his leg joints made it look like he was wearing a diaper or something to me. I'm thinking of getting the actual Flash/Raven pack and repainting the extra Flash into Reverse Flash.

That Hal Jordan Green Lantern looks superb! Did you repaint it? The lantern itself looks amazing.

snake5289 · 11-06-2015, 04:51 PM

Thank you. It's the DCC Hal head on Sinestro's body. All the green parts are repainted. I then went and Sinestro's head and hands on Hal's body. The lantern is just the movie battery that came with one of the movie figures. I forget which specifically because I had quite a few but there were dozens that came with one.

Here's Hal, Sinestro, and John. All the green parts were repainted to match. Also painted John's hands black because I love the JL/JLU series.

That's impressive! I love the color.

snake5289 · 11-06-2015, 05:20 PM

Thanks again. Not sure what I'll do with Guy when I eventually get the Guy/Larfleeze pack. His uniform is already pretty unique by itself and the green parts will probably be a bitch to repaint. But I've never liked the white gloves though. That's probably why I love the look of the uniforms in First Flight so much.

I mainly just want Larfleeze anyway but I haven't been able to find him solo (same goes for Kilowog) and it's a little under $13 on Amazon so I'll just think of Guy as getting a bonus.

MUfan97 · 11-07-2015, 12:25 AM

So...I got random inspiration to begin construction of a 1:18th scale Batcave, mainly for use in stop motion, but also for general display purposes. The first bit of construction has gone well.

I'll just post a G+ link since I don't feel like copying and pasting the pics one by one.

MUfan97, that's starting to look really nice so far; I really like that chair.

Since you are using cardboard, if you can find a lava rock (gardening section), you can press into the paper with the rock and it will add a lot of texture; then put a healthy black coat to fill in the crevices. Now from this point, you can decide how you would like your rock to look. Dry brush over the black with whatever color you would like your cave; a little goes a long way. A few portable lights always sets the mood. I'M looking forward to your stopmotions!

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, my birthday is soon(which means Amazon money), so I might look into some lights, if I don't blow every last penny on figures, anyway. 😊

Also, be prepared for a LONG wait on any stop motions with this thing. I'm currently working on part 1 of a 5 part crossover between Doctor Who and Marvel, and I'm not sure when I'll be doing any other projects.

Universe · 11-07-2015, 01:29 AM

Sounds awesome; look forward to it!

snake5289 · 11-08-2015, 01:16 PM

After seeing this again and picking up some of the GL figures recently it bums me out that DCC will probably never make the rest of the characters they showed off (or at least Bleeze and Tomar). Not to mention no Carol Ferris or Indigo-1 to round out the heads of each Corps and maybe Ganthet so there's a Guardian in the mix and he's the only one that's worth a damn. *sigh* What could've been.

Psycho Pirate · 11-08-2015, 01:40 PM

Oh, that sweet, sweet dio. I wonder who got to keep it?

It is probably in the DCC vault somewhere.

snake5289 · 11-08-2015, 03:29 PM

That would be a shame. Whoever made it should've gotten to kept it.
