mmmmm Cable

Optimus Vader · 07-08-2011, 06:41 PM

I couldn't pass on that Dynamo and SW pack for their clearance price. Dynamo was $1.75 & the Comic Pack was $6.50. I might not even open the Comic Pack. I have a book case in the closet of my man room (double door closet) that I have all of my TF Classics and MU figs,.. I've been thinking about painting the walls in the closet with some unopened figs. and Comic Books. We'll see. (and by painting them I mean hanging figures)

Jason Abbadon · 07-08-2011, 07:16 PM

Not in mine!
I went to TWO Targets, the flippin Disney Store and TrS and found exactly jack shit.
Seriously, Disney had like six figures- three Cap, two Thor and a Kitty Pryde.

GRRRR!

My BBTS case has STILL not shipped either!

GRRRR! It better have a normal Doctor Strange!

Optimus Vader · 07-09-2011, 10:05 AM

I appreciate some good goons..

omega145 · 07-09-2011, 01:28 PM

Another nice pic Optimus. I did the same thing and gave him a black rifle instead of those ugly green guns. Ive been thinking about painting them.
The new wave has arrived in NY! I scored a Dr. Strange (clear), Dr. Doom, Scarlett Spider, Falcon, and a deluxe goon at Target today. Pics in the "look at what I just got" thread.

Tarquinius · 07-09-2011, 03:05 PM

Does anybody think the Astral Dr Strange is easier to find then the regular?

I feel your pain man...today I went to Target, TRU, KMart, CVS (weirdly enough in my area they carry MU), and a local comic book store.

Nice score omega. Strange is the one fig I haven't found yet from Wave 14.

So far it certainly looks that way.

Theta Rock · 07-09-2011, 07:31 PM

Some displays and some I could fit on shelves.

omega145 · 07-10-2011, 07:12 PM

Nice collection Rock. I really like that Galactus shot.

Here's a few shots I took of a couple of the new MU wave figures that I've taken out of package.

My recent addition of Joe Fixit was a little jealous and wanted a picture.

Scarlett Spider thought he'd play a joke but Joe wasnt too happy about it.

Tiberius · 07-10-2011, 07:32 PM

Badass pictures dude! WWH Wave just hit shelves around my area...I laughed and cried at the same time.

That's how it's been for me, no normal Strange yet!

neatogecko · 07-10-2011, 07:36 PM

I was messing around with my camera today and took a couple of random shots of some of my out of package figs. These struck me as fun so I thought I'd share.

Hulk is about to lay the smack down on Stark

I'm getting the impression the variant is equally packed 1:1 with regular Strange. So it's not so much "rare" as "the normal version is selling out faster than a variant that isn't very good".

It's a great idea for most variants, but this one probably should have been a little more scarce in favor of the regular Dr. Strange. Hopefully future revision cases and carry fowards help get more Stranges out there.

This picture looks great. It almost looks like a cell from a movie.

AndyCR75 · 07-11-2011, 04:28 PM

And the finale...after the big Cap and MU W14 score at Target, these suckers showed in the mail, old news, I know, but the completionist in me is feeling...well..more complete..

Tiberius · 07-11-2011, 04:58 PM

Ok. Just looking for some feedback if I should continue with the custom or if it has an odd look to it. I am thinking of getting rid of the collar, or just making it not as dramatic. Grey will be painted black, along with the hat, and a thin lair of Green Stuff on his shoulder for a nazi band. Think it will look ok? Head to small? Don't bother? Thanks for the feed back and I will probably have him up by tonight if everyone wants to see it lol.

Oh, and yes, I am aware that this probably does belong in the Custom WIP forum, but I feel it will get more looks here, and get more feedback here too.

I am aiming for the end result to be like this. Extremely simple. No way in hell I'm molding the iron bird on the hat though, nooooo waaaay

omega145 · 07-11-2011, 05:41 PM

Id get rid of that collar but it looks damn good so far. I think the head is perfect sized. Better than the custom that I have. You ever get what I shipped you yet????

Tiberius · 07-11-2011, 05:42 PM

Oh ya, came in today! Left feedback too. Extremely excited!

Tiberius · 07-11-2011, 09:08 PM

Here is it at 90%. Need to do some touch ups because I'm not happy with the arm band, need finer paint bush. Anywho, I appreciate Omega for sending me a Red Skull figure to be able to do this. I also appreciate Marvel finally giving us a Red Skull that the fan deserves, however I wasn't completely against Red Skull being Italian, was interesting to say the least! Enjoy!

omega145 · 07-12-2011, 06:38 PM

Tiberius, Im freakin loving that Red Skull! Man thats sweet!

I finally opened the deadpool/taskmaster set. Im kinda disappointed by this deadpool and actually prefer the XMO Deadpool but the Taskmaster is pretty sick.

Ive been wanting to take a picture like this.

And IMO, the most underappreciated Marvel Universe figures, The Wrecking Crew!

Tiberius · 07-12-2011, 07:11 PM

Thanks dude! Just a few more touch ups and to me, it will be perfect =D. I fixed my white paint so I will be re-doing the shirt and just another coat of black. I would love for new body molds for the Wrecking Crew [well, 3 of them lol]. Never a dull moment with the crew!

Jason Abbadon · 07-12-2011, 07:27 PM

That Skull turned out great! Hat looks great too- one thing, Maybe go with a decal for the swastica- you can get them out of any cheap small scale (1:700th) german destroyer model kit.

Tiberius · 07-12-2011, 07:31 PM

Ooooooo thats a good idea! Now do I want to spend my money on getting Sentinel/Optimus Prime, or look all over town for a German destroyer model. Wait, I'll do both!

Optimus Vader · 07-13-2011, 07:22 AM

That's a sweet Red Skull you're whipping up over there, Tiberius.
