i literally just got in from there. it appears as though my local walmart suddenly wants to start stocking things again. my wife was even shocked to see them hanging there.

i honestly dont mind picking something up for anyone as long as they trade and pay the shipping.

3.75 figures here can be expensive though. particularly things from zellers so it gets to be impractical, even though i would love to pick things up for people in need when i see them for trade later.

kinda blows

I feel your pain. It is usually best to trade with our American friends, seeing I feel bad charging close to 20 dollars for a figure + shipping. That price is to just end up even too.

X-Statix was one of the best books I've ever read. You my friend have good taste in books.

I was thinkning of BLack Widow's head with Baroness or Phionex hair.
Her hair has always been sorta wavy/feathered.
Use Mystique's loin cloth with skulls of course- Gamora had those first anyway!

Mystique is always biting someone else's look.

That's a Bugs Bunny joke that the audience was too dumb to get:
Nimrod in mythology is the greatest hunter of all time- so whe Bugs called Elmer Fudd a Nimrod, he ws being sarscastic, but the audience wigured it was just slang for "dummy" and it became it's own meaning.

A computer like Master Mold woul never have seen a cartoon so...Nimrod.
Not funny when he's killin your ass, I bet.

Paint them- all you need is a toothpick and some paint- takes the figure from "really cool" to "Freakin AWESOME!"
I'll take some pics and post them- I've got a ton of stuff to show, but no day off to do it!
Tomorrow...really!

Pretty much got it for 2 dollars cheaper than Canadian retail.

Cool that's what I thought vs paying for a single Juggs by itself for 15 or up on there. That's what I actually wanted from the group, since I already picked up a Colossus already. Which would have been more perfect if that item came up earlier :P But it's ok.

Tiberius · 10-29-2011, 07:04 PM

So, I am desperately wanting a Fantomex figure. The thing is, I look at his costume and go..."meh, a few black zigzags, big deal." So, I was looking around on the internet and came across this custom that I fell in love with, and how Fantomex SHOULD look like. I will make one just like this once I find an extra Beach head figure. If the creator of this amazing custom lurks or is part of this forum, thank you for inspiring me!

D00MTR0N · 10-29-2011, 07:05 PM

thats a great custom.

Exodus · 10-29-2011, 07:08 PM

Wicked! The Legends one will be out soon enough! Although wish it was a Universe one

Where's the link to the B/S/T forum? Thanks.

I see more of other brand of toys in your pic other than the Hulks and Shocker but either way I was talking more about the other posts before yours.

What you don't realize is that I don't want the mods to come and close the thread because of the convos always going off topic. It has been threatened before.

I know your intentions are good, but comments like this make talking about this stuff no fun.

Why do people care if the thread closes? We'd just start another, it's not a big deal.

Nice collection man! You did some great posing there, and I really like your groupings. That Avengers team came out so colorful!

I'm starting to get that way myself. Enough with the Tongue variant Venoms and Doc Ocks already!

This saddens my heart, but at least you're playing by Canadia's rules.

I did once buy a Lizard and take it back because I hate the packaging and am MOC. Now I'm looking for another.

That's pretty good, I think. Four figures for less than $10 each with shipping? You did good!

Kayo83 · 10-29-2011, 07:41 PM

Should I get a BAF Onslaught figure, I know he's 10ft tall on marvel data base, but is his figure equivalent in size and fits in the MU line? Thanks
