You'd be better off with walmart and a gift receipt. I'd rather not go into details. But it's easy

At the vey least you should throw in a helping hand from DareDevil. My spider collection is expanding to something similar to this now. Yesterday managed to find lizard and scorpion in the uk which is a really good find. My girlfriend bought them and I don't get them til xmas... I also managed to get myself the black suited spiderman so I now have 5 itterations of spidey! Yaaay! Pics to come when I'm not on an iPhone!

Unless you are exchanging for the exact figure you can only do this at Target. All MU are the same DCPI at Target, Walmart and TRU all go off the upc number, you can not just switch them out.

I tried the MacGyver stands too. This is the second one I made.. I actually use this one for Nightcrawler, but when I was making it I was using Hobgoblin as my model. I made a higher one for Archangel too. I'd still like to get some real ones, but I got the urge to have flying figures last week and needed have them flying asap for some reason so I jumped into MacGyver mode.

bmorr · 10-23-2011, 09:11 AM

nice work. i like how you used the wire as a base also. i didnt think of that......

quinten182 · 10-23-2011, 09:48 AM

This was fun! New Avengers 50 cover. I have the poster up that Billy Tan signed behind the figures, but I included the comic cover itself in case it's hard to see. I know I could have done better with flight stands or whatnot, but I made due. I also have my only non-black spiderman in a spidey scene elsewhere.. so I subbed in a black suit one. Just wanted to point that out before someone else did. :P

I can't take credit,.. I copied from another board member. I can't remember his name though. I think he made a thread about it.

bmorr · 10-23-2011, 10:04 AM

over christmas break, im hoping the real steel figures go on clearance so i can custom up a giant ultron. We NEED a 12" Ultron. I checked out the legends one and it looked pretty bad....I mean its great we have a normal sized one for MU, dont get me wrong, but id like one thats at a menacing proportion.

Ever since seeing the Ultron head on an Iron Man Mark 2 body, I've been trying to find one. No luck either, which is weird considering just days before he was at every store I went to. It's like the moment I saw him as ultron on here, so did everyone else. xD

I have been trying to work out a figure recipe for an Annihilation War one of him as the Phalanx King.
So far the Extremis Iron Man body, arms, and shoulderpads look perfect if you cut off the unibeam piece and sand it flush. The shoulder pads really evoke those same rounded shoulder armor he had in that design, and I'm still trying to figure out some legs. I might use some movie lower feet with Serpentor thighs over the extremis legs. I've got a set of those I threw together that never got used in any customs yet. The tony stark iron man extremis is what I would use as the body base so I could give the stark head to Bleeding Edge ironman. If you had a bunch of BE Iron Mans for whatever reason, you could probably use his legs for ultron too.

Those ultrons wouldn't be menacing size, but they'd still evoke a compact terror of pure technological power.
I keep debating on his ML one from way back, but it looks too much like a mutated mouse. Hopefully hasbro hears our pleas and gives us an Annhilation Wave/war/Phalanx King one in ML soon. That'd be rocking, and I'd buy it happily. =D

Yeah the ML Ultron sucks hard I like the MU one but your right Id like to see him larger.

Yet, both Toyark and Fight Club have rules, and the first rule of Fight Club is similar to one of the rules of Toyark, especially as it pertains to actions taken by the sites administrators.

Pretty cool but your right would looked way better with flight stands. If you work hard go all out!
