I'll tell you right now that the thing's wings are on backward- see the flaps at the front? That cant be anything like right.
The shape is cool that way...but senseless.

I also dont think the composited IM fig is in scale with the jet there- no way he fits into that cockpit.

I believe the wings look like that in the box art.

Plus the avengers symbol seems to follow the same direction

haha. Glad that seller is working out for you guys. Based on his/her feedback, I do think the shipping error was just an honest mistake. Although, the email transaction that followed is almost worth the $15 I spent.

This is the last email he sent me, which was in response to me asking him to leave me positive feedback and I'll leave him none (better than negative) and I'll eat the $15 I gave him...

yeah I noticed that too - but I can rationalize the symbol going either way; I can't imagine the box art wings being drawn the wrong direction and making it this far!

The more I look at this toy, the more I wonder where the heck Hawkeye's ride will fit or if it just not going to look anything like his classic Avenger transport. I agree with another comment I read - it would made far more sense to put a Hawkeye figure in the box if his ride comes with the quinjet - than having IM who doesn't even need it.

At this rate, Stark Tek jet may indeed be a better Quinjet!

It has been a decent week of purchases for me. A little of everything. I bumped into a collector in his mid forties, evidently he collects everything and doubles or triples of it, raids clearance aisles etc(which explains a lot for my area). I gave him a list of my immediate MU wants. Crossing fingers. Hoping to have pics up Saturday afternoon should the deal go down.

Finally found a DD/BE CP at target...sucks I missed WM/QS.

I have to get in on these flight stands, im not crazy about the waist claw though. I've been trying to find suitable clear acrylic rods to make some custom stands that will plug into the foot pegs.

gogorobo · 01-27-2012, 08:11 AM

couple of customs i've recently finished,first up is genis-vell

whole figure is just a repainted captain marvel with a DCIH captain atom head
next is tony stark

the head is from glassman customs, really great cast just painted and then added to an A-team face body

gogorobo · 01-27-2012, 09:35 AM

thanks for the kind words!

kostej · 01-27-2012, 10:15 AM

I also noticed very nice Thunderstrike and Wasp customs in the background. Great job!

my thoughts exactly. in some pics it looks well disguised, which is a good thing...but in most pics, the waist claw stands out and distracts me.

thanks man, i put i lot of work into that thunderstrike

Optimus Vader · 01-27-2012, 02:24 PM

This display is a WIP, as you custom-heads would say, but here's another stand shot for you peeps on the fence.

..I'd say it's worth the $20 it'll cost you to get a pack of three so you can check them out in person.

Optimus Vader · 01-27-2012, 02:47 PM

Blade has a big black stand.

..had to.

Symbiote · 01-27-2012, 03:24 PM

Flight stands are always worth it.

D00MTR0N · 01-27-2012, 03:36 PM

nothing new at retail to appreciate.

ULTRON

flipwilson · 01-27-2012, 04:22 PM

Holy shit! That ultron on the stark body rules!

bmorr · 01-27-2012, 04:46 PM

finally saw some new figures, too bad it was only the revision wave. i did finally manage to snag a iron fist.

plus what i would describe as a metric shitload of SW toys was released here.

Symbiote · 01-27-2012, 04:57 PM

Nice pics dino freak. I did the same thing to my ultron as well awhile back. I think the mark II works better as a head swap vs the flight drone. I've also used the hands from GI joe BATS figures for ultron too.

Optimus Vader · 01-27-2012, 05:49 PM

Love the Ultron army you have there, Freak.

Yeah, I'm not a customizer or anything, but thought it was a straight swap.. and it certainly was not. I grabbed a Swiss Army knife and carved some of the inside of Ultron's head out just to get it on.

Symbiote · 01-27-2012, 06:00 PM

or use some quakehold to keep it on. I usually use quakehold for head swaps when the pegs are a different size.

D00MTR0N · 01-27-2012, 06:09 PM

what a difference it makes look wise when you remove those things on the side of ultrons head,looks better imo.
