Slimerpool?

I hope it's Slimerpool.

vampireheart · 09-18-2011, 04:12 PM

haha thanks Im going to need some paint and a bit of some epoxy for the head bump things hes got. Ill be sure to post pics once its done but it may be a while seeing as how its a busy work week this week but next week is vacation time.

vampireheart · 09-18-2011, 04:14 PM

Awww.. he's got a cute little drop of blood on the front from where some ass made a "drunk" joke.

Gotta have that washed off by some adoring supermodel or slutty Avenger babe.

Besides, we have never seen MU reuse a head for another character.
That's what keeps us buying- body types are pretty generic so re-useing those is no big deal to me (so long as the build is correct for the character) but the unique heads is what sells it.

Dude, I've got that photo blown up to 1:1 scale. Holding up the MM head next to it. Exactly the same. The raised 'frame' in on Tony as well. The nose is the same, cheekbones are the same, even the ears under the hood. Just a different paint app.

Face it, Hasbro cheaped.

In the words of Darth Vader: NOOOOO!

I refuse to believe it, Boba! (puts hands over ears) NYAH! NYAH! I CAT'T HEAR YOU!

Okay, I'll concede to a "maybe", though those are just prototypes- they might not be exactly what we get.

Though if they re-use Multiple Man's head for Beta Ray Bill, I'll storm Hasbro's main offices!

Guess what I'm doing? Sitting on the couch (watching Secrets of the dead- the best show EVAR!) and tweaking four T-3 3.75" Endoskeletons into Hydra drone troopers!
I'm adding on glowy eyes and extra arms (thanx Star Wars loose fig bucket!).

Should be fun.

Anyone else buy these? My TrUS clearanced them a few months ago for $3 a pop abd I snagged four.

My LCS today got new loose figs and I scored a Hulk MOvie fig that, unfortunately has some gimmick to the arms, making it unsuitable for MU, but the head looks great on a Skarr body!

Also scored a ML Grey Hulk (or possibly it's from the Hulk line- no idea) that's got a basecoat of green paint on it as we post!

I do think I'll be skipping additional Hulks alltogether.

NoodleChow · 09-18-2011, 04:47 PM

i remember the "proof of concept" arguments for those figures. pretty sure that's exactly what we're getting unfortunately.

and yeah totally bought a few terminator toys. debated that tank drone one for the longest time. i shoulda bought it and turned it into an aim invention.

as for doop, that's prolly the best minimates usage for a 1:18th scale toyline next to using the minimates odin helmet for movie odin.

they couldnt even give us a distinct new armor. id totally rate this as one of the lamest MU figs yet.

yeah i was expecting something like this when the lineup said "Tony Stark Iron Man":

not so much in the EMH style, but some kinda partial suit and completely unmasked. not to also mention that the extremis bodysuit is a gold color. and the prototype is showing a dark grey/black hood.

Odin kicks some ogre butt.

Boba Fettuccini · 09-18-2011, 05:47 PM

at very least, a new Extremis sculpt would have been nice. I have no regrets about cancelling my pre-order.

i cut the entire peg off the nightcrawler feet in a crescent like shape and dremeled an inverted muchroom shape the size of the donor peg. the donor peg coming from the feet of punisher from the target 2 pack and whittled it down to basically a stump with a swivel peg. hollowed out the lower leg and glued the stump in and popped the foot onto the peg. somewhat hard to explain which is why i drew it out for reference:

it's not quite elegant looking and one could sand down and paint the areas so they match better.

i tend to just update the older figures with swivel thighs, swivel hinge necks, and rocker style ankles \m/

Sadly, the wonderful B-day comes to an end. Got TF's and MU's though...

Is that a movie Sabretooth? That's a good find dude!

Boba Fettuccini · 09-18-2011, 06:43 PM

I got one on Ebay for 99 cents a few months ago. Awful figure. He's sittin' in the custom bin awaiting a character that needs a nice collared shirt and slacks.

Tiberius · 09-18-2011, 06:44 PM

Haha I wouldn't mind for 99 cents! Go with my small movie collection
