Got this little building today on clearance at Target. Pretty good for a store-front. I think I'm gonna give it a paint wash and make a sign for it.

LOL, for me, it was Police Academy. Young Kim Cattrall in a police cadet uniform. Hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwt.

Boba Fettuccini · 08-09-2011, 08:27 PM

I might check for one too. If I gave it a dark washand put a different sign, I'd have something cool to put em with...

But in all seriousness, that actually is a pretty cool store front you found there.

Posted this in another thread on playsets/displays, but thought it was more appropriate here. It's a takeoff of one of ludovicotek's pics above. Enjoy!

Nexodusrex · 08-10-2011, 09:17 AM

I just went to target and picked up that 5050BMX thing. It dropped even further! I paid 3.50! very nice
they also had the Dr Strange wave. was able to pick up Doom and Scarlet Spidey
the BMX shop is so getting put in my diorama. and I wanna turn it into a Shield Barber Shop
like so

Nice! That barber shop idea is a good one. It'll work real nice for that.

felks22us · 08-10-2011, 06:42 PM

that can so work out Shield Barber Shop. Nice ideal.

Heroic Age Thor.

omega145 · 08-11-2011, 03:53 AM

Another fantastic background and effects on that picture. The body is cool on that Thor but I hate the face. The SDCC MU Thor is my favorite along with the showdown Thor. Much better figures IMO.

felks22us · 08-11-2011, 05:04 AM

tell me about it the head is so wrong makes him look old .

bmorr · 08-11-2011, 05:08 AM

i know they made a classic thor for legends. I wonder if some of you who have both would try to switch the heads to see if itd look better.

Optimus Vader · 08-11-2011, 05:43 AM

His face is a little weird. He (MU Modern Thor) looks like a white Scottie Pippen to me. Still a great figure though,.. and that picture is awesome!

Optimus Vader · 08-11-2011, 06:38 AM

omega145 · 08-11-2011, 06:53 AM

Good pics Optimus. I would have swapped Galactus for the BAF Apocalypse. Send me the firehouse and ill take those pictures for you.
