Don't hold me to this, but ultimate soldier used to make small plastic coca cola bottles that were way too small for 12in figures.

Sensitive. The face blows, other than that well done. I also have seen better. Not putting you down, just saying.

well I put the scar on Dooms face,wish the camera was up so I could show you guys,I went a bit deep with the exacto so as to leave a indentation for the paint to more less pool in rather then have a surface paint mark type scar that would easily rub off,then I used a flesh tone paint with some red mixed in to make it a bit more red then normal flesh tone but not red enough to make it look like a fresh scar.

I know I really wish I could post a pic of it,I just put the finishing touch on the scar,it was a bit rough on the edges so I heated up a safty pin and branded the sides and middle for a smoother look,helped with the color also.

evilanimation · 10-20-2011, 07:41 PM

if i do my scar i will use a paper clip heated up, i think that will give a more realistic effect.

evilanimation · 10-20-2011, 07:41 PM

or I am stupid...

well I wanted a base to start with so I carved a bit out with an exacto then heated up a safty pin to smooth out the edges ,the only risk you run with begining with the heated pin is it may just melt the plastic and give it a more well...melted look.

I joined this site a couple years but never really stuck around or posted, but lately I find myself coming here a lot to find information on MU. It seems like a really great place. I was going through the collection thread. You guys have some great collections. I hope to post some pics of mine sooner or later.

Welcome! Many of us have only been here a short time, and it feels like this place just keeps growing!

Sorry dude.

With Ironman 3 coming still, we might be lucky in coming years if not MU about getting her.

Man, I'm going to end up getting that carnage eventually just to have all the symbiotes once they make new venom and anti-venom. I've been putting him off everytime I see him in stores so far.

It'd be nice if MU did a wave of Rescue, Female Ghost Rider, Anti-Venom, New Venom, Red She-Hulk, Emma Frost, and Mockingbird, but that's too many female figures for one wave.

Yup!

Even if you do find a figure for £5 online, by the time you've added shipping you're back to UK retail.

BBTS actually charges more than UK retail for some of it's figures (US$14.99) so no savings there!

The problem is a factor of both currency value and the price of oil. The longer it takes for the shipping containers to sail, the more expensive. And stores are taking advantage of that notion. Thats my dumb theory anyways.

I liked Venom better when he 1st came out.. no slobbering tongue..no ridiculous mouth that is open a mile wide.. just some body builder psycho in Spidey's suit.

Nexodusrex · 10-21-2011, 05:53 AM

well I finally broke down and purchased the Canadian exclusive Shocker. I got him for about 27 dollars which isnt so bad. I can live with it.

great score..i need shocker. I wonder why he was a canadian exclusive only. Do THE STATES have a U.S. exclusive in the spiderman line?

I dont like country exclusives. I can understand some toy companys sticking to their countrys for specific reasons, but a country as giant as Hasbro should be available for all.
