Nice. My buddy scored 2 Heimdals, I think I get both? I don't know lol. Figure sucks so hard though, so I hear.

Heimdal, is he single packed? Oh wait, he a "deluxe" right? The bigger single packs with a gimmick included?

Tiberius · 11-22-2011, 11:48 PM

He is a Deluxe, with his sword slot thingy. He has next to no articulation though.

BigHanksCustoms · 11-22-2011, 11:50 PM

Well that stinks, he had such a cool design. Ah well, must add articulation then...

Tiberius · 11-22-2011, 11:59 PM

BigHanksCustoms · 11-23-2011, 12:11 AM

Hmmm. Well they certainly cheaped out on the articulation but at least it's all easy fixes.

Funny part is if it was a DC 3 3/4 figure with this articulation we'd be raving,lol.

He is a must get, I need to make a rainbow bridge with colored clear plastic.

Tiberius · 11-23-2011, 12:12 AM

Gotta tell me how you plan to fix the articulation...

behindthemask · 11-23-2011, 12:12 AM

I'm lucky to own 1 and it's a decent figure goes for good $$, but the articulation is kinda shit, especially with the wrists, he should of had hand swivels to properly hold and turn his sword! the sculpt headwise and body is decent though!

I'd just do a cut joint at the biceps and wrists (make them swivel joints), cut the feet off at the ankles and add in ball swivels. I'd go for body articulation but I need two Heimdal's for that. Imagine the torso as three parts:

chest
abs
waist

One Heimdal you keep the chest and waist (your cuts must err on affecting the "abs" section while leaving the top and bottom two parts pristine)

Second Heimdal you keep the middle, or abs section, with your cuts affecting the top and bottom. Leaving a pristine middle.

Then double ball joint the top and middle, swivel joint the waist

Add paint, be the envy of all your friends.....

To talented for my blood good sir.

BigHanksCustoms · 11-23-2011, 12:22 AM

No talent required, just the willingness to cut up hard to find figures and not care if you totally fuck them up (which I still after all these years, just not very often

)

Tiberius · 11-23-2011, 12:24 AM

Hahaha, I don't think I even have the tools for that. Adding a swivel to the wrist is the easy part lol.

behindthemask · 11-23-2011, 12:37 AM

dremel gun with a good amount of accessories and like $20 worth of joint parts of hlj.com and your set lol.

But take a look at the variants -

Odin

Destroyer (The new one is kickass!)

They are variants in color but not true variants because of them being different numbers.
At least that's how I see it.

D00MTR0N · 11-23-2011, 07:38 AM

canada seems to be getting the better figures this year.

iLegends73 · 11-23-2011, 11:20 AM

this is the latest. got avalance and ms marvel from a fellow arker, the rest were found @ retail.

sorry for the kinda blurry group shot. i just came off a long shift @ work and was super out of it

xion14 · 11-23-2011, 05:26 PM

Got Whiplash and Manderian at the store. 10$ for them was decent.

behindthemask · 11-23-2011, 05:29 PM

I wonder how hard it'd be to saw a clear and regular dr strange figure in half and glue them together to make a half see through strange, kinda like a compound hulk version of him?> oh and ^ awesome price to pay for mandarin, if u find more plenty of arkers would love him same with $$ on ebay.

D00MTR0N · 11-23-2011, 05:59 PM

the destroyers are not variants.

LORD MARVEL · 11-23-2011, 07:52 PM

I think it might be easier to paint one half of the clear Dr.
