Amazon order cancelled... I have to stop at Home Depot tonight for some plants and shit (the shit you're into when you own a home is baffling).

That's a good idea. I'm liking that Skrull army you have.

And my perfect Magneto is complete! Someone in here (or some other thread here) posted, a few weeks back, some pictures of Showdown Magneto with MU Mag's head and I needed to own that set up. Magneto has always been a favorite character of mine, but that MU Mag's is a high-waisted piece of trash.

Nice. Just think. For $50 you can buy an X-Men variant set and put an "invisible" leg on him. Of maybe just wait to get an Astral Dr. Strange. You should totally customize a Thing forearm.

Symbiote · 06-27-2011, 08:05 AM

Thanks prem1x. The clear mu limbs are hard to come by. I find it hard to take apart or buy a rare figure for the sake of fodder pieces. Maybe I can look for a star wars clear figure and use that. I get my new FF4 pack today. First order of business is use Things hands and recreate his tenderizer move from mvc3. I'll be posting it on here soon.

Dammit optimus, now I'm going to be looking for a marvel legends magneto. That head swap trick works well to get a menacing magneto.

Marvel Legends Showdown Magneto 3 3/4 Universe | eBay

Best price I've seen him for single/loose, but only one, so whoever is quickest I guess? :P

Optimus Vader · 06-27-2011, 08:50 AM

Excellent price. I think I paid $13 shipped for mine and thought I did good with that one.

Symbiote · 06-27-2011, 09:48 AM

I'm going to wait and see if I can pick this up at sdcc. Its only 3 weeks away and I can avoid any shipping costs. This is tempting as hell though. Thanks for the note guys.

I caved and bought it. I'm a sucker for having things now.

You tool!

*awaits his Hot Toys Movie Captain America he swore he wouldn't buy*

quinten182 · 06-27-2011, 02:58 PM

Glad I could help :P

Symbiote · 06-27-2011, 07:56 PM

Good looking out quinten.
I also got my FF4 pack in today. The Family is complete.

I'm so anxious to get the x force pack. I'm checking my email like crazy the past couple of days waiting for bbts to ship it already.

Theta Rock · 06-27-2011, 09:13 PM

Finally, a Reed Richards that is worth displaying!!

word! all we need is a mini science table full of experiments for him. and phasing Sue would be nice though.

Symbiote · 06-28-2011, 09:25 AM

That's a good idea mask. I may have something I'll try to put together.

Anyone get the avengers + x force 3 packs yet? I want to see reviews and pics of the x force pack.

omega145 · 06-28-2011, 06:04 PM

Invaders set

Tiberius · 06-28-2011, 06:10 PM

I love that Namor. Annoyed that they are bringing out a newer version of that one though. Kind of loses its magic that way, imo. Now I know with any SDCC exclusive, I don't need to open them :P.

quinten182 · 06-28-2011, 06:32 PM

I got my Avengers and X-Force packs but no FF! Haha.. All 3 are preordered on bbts so no idea why I'd get these 2 and not that one and you vice versa.. but whatever! They're awesome!

And I did post a thread just for these sets with more pics, but here's them opened and posed any way!

Tiberius · 06-28-2011, 06:42 PM

Love love love love the hulk.

Jason Abbadon · 06-28-2011, 07:27 PM

Here's a Thor comparison:

And a nice Buckycap memorial:

Jason Abbadon · 06-28-2011, 08:53 PM

My repainted C'hod and MU Gladiator

Imperial Guardsmen

Tiberius · 06-28-2011, 08:56 PM

Eppppic pics. I cannot wait for Wonder Man now to do an epic Avengers shot.

Jason Abbadon · 06-28-2011, 09:28 PM

And now...some SHIELD badasses to match the HYDRA goons I uploaded a couple of weeks back.

Se what I mean about the SHIELD soldier looking awesome if you swap the head for a GI Joe head and Joe weapons? totally rocks.

Symbiote · 06-28-2011, 09:39 PM

Nice with the head swaps.

Jason Abbadon · 06-28-2011, 09:48 PM

Thanks- weapon upgrades, additional knives and binocs from joes too.
My custom Nick Fury will be joining them soon...BWHAAHAHA!!!

Optimus Vader · 06-29-2011, 03:00 AM

Awesome pics, Jason. I like that SHEILD set up.

quinten182 · 06-29-2011, 06:34 AM

Very cool SHIELD head swaps. That does wonders for them!
