Lol. Taskmaster, Super Skrull, and Chun Li are my "fun" team.

Nothing is filthier than Amaterasu from what I've seen in this game though.

Really? I skipped the first BP because he looked so..plain. Later I got the two pack on clerance from target for $4 and was suprised at how much better BP looked- I figured he had to be a new buck.
Wiggy.

You know, swapping the body on that would be cake if that's what bugs ya- head and cape swap are easy- which body to use though...maybe the new Cyclops?

Thanks for the reply! I'll file that away for future use...

I'm testing out a theory on how to paint rubber capes so they'll actually dry- basecoating one on Tempra paint first and I'll see if acryllic will adhere and dry on top of that- I'm betting it will!

Optimus Vader · 06-01-2011, 06:38 AM

I appreciate the clinically insane characters too..

omega145 · 06-01-2011, 07:05 AM

Nice pics as always Ken. You gotta get the other spiderman villians, rhino, venom, electro. Im not going to mention doc ock,

.

Optimus Vader · 06-01-2011, 07:09 AM

I'm getting there. Pre-Carnage..

..and pre-Doc upgrade

Still need Rhino, Lizard, and the new Steroid Venom.

omega145 · 06-01-2011, 08:55 AM

Yea that new Doc Ock will look way better in that pic. I'm still keeping an eye out on a rhino for you. Im also looking for scorpion and lizard along with the stretch strike venom. I've never seen any of those in the stores as of yet.

Optimus Vader · 06-01-2011, 09:30 AM

You know, now that someone has turned me on to the Showdown figs,.. that Showdown Venom looks pretty sweet too. It eBays for about the same price as Stretch Venom though, but it reminds of the large Legends Icon version of him... which is pretty damn awesome.

omega145 · 06-01-2011, 10:02 AM

I have the showdown venom figure and can take some pics for you as a comparison to the spiderman line venom.

Awesome!

Optimus Vader · 06-01-2011, 01:15 PM

I made a Deadpool comparison thread if anyone is on the fence about his Comic Pack.

Deadpool Comparison (XMO vs. Comic Pack) - Toy Discussion at Toyark.com

Tiberius · 06-01-2011, 01:37 PM

Nice comparison! I like XMO colour more, and the mask, thats about it lol

Tiberius · 06-01-2011, 04:52 PM

In Memory

This is my appreciation of Captain "Bucky Cap" America.

stjuggernaut · 06-01-2011, 05:12 PM

all these pics are great but that one of just the shield and the weapons is exceptional. beautiful pic.

jamesmruddy · 06-01-2011, 05:21 PM

Nice!!!

afgoosett · 06-01-2011, 05:26 PM

Screw the staff. I really don't know why his Leige came with a naginata anyway. It's worse than Wolverine and all those katanas. Hasbro was really lazy with that first wave.

Now you must go and buy the IM vs BP 2pk at Target just for the cape. Sucks, I know, but that cape is looks awesome and fits perfectly on the W1 BP figure, and he's a lot more complete that way.

If you wann go all out, add MU GGs or Hobgoblin's satchel to him as well. I'd take pics, but I'm a lazy bastard.

Trust me I want the caped BP figure. But the Iron Man that comes in the 2 pack is horrible and I already have 3 of that figure. Every time I go to target I pick up that box and debate. I don't know, maybe it's time I give in and just "accidently" lose that Iron Man figure lol I kid.

Optimus Vader · 06-01-2011, 07:17 PM

Fuck that. My Bucky is stayin' alive.

ah ah ah

stayin' alive

Tiberius · 06-01-2011, 09:57 PM

Thanks for the comments on my pictures. I really like the shield and just the weapons too. Kind of wish I had a better back ground to add to the picture though.

stjuggernaut · 06-03-2011, 05:15 AM

I picked up these guys recently. Got the Brown / Gold variant of Odin in London and Heimdall came from ebay this morning.

I was intending on painting Heimdalls eyes to be more accurate. But I saw that they had actually painted them gold which I thought was a nice touch.

Optimus Vader · 06-03-2011, 07:31 AM

Nice. Heimy comes with his gate/key thing, right?

How is that sword? From the pictures on all the websites, it looks kinda small...

omega145 · 06-03-2011, 08:23 AM

The pictures do make that sword look small. I've read some not so great reviews but it looked good with the gate key set from pictures. I need some destroyer pics!

stjuggernaut · 06-03-2011, 09:27 AM

No the sword is absolutely fins. i thought it looked short when i first saw promotional pictures of it. but it does come up to somehwre near his chest when stood from the floor vertically. its because the blade is shorter than conventional swords and the handle is really long. its actually quite accurate really.

i cant be bothered taking another pic at the mo, but check out this review on youtube and maybe you can get a better look at the sword....

Optimus Vader · 06-03-2011, 09:33 AM

I can be bothered with pictures. This is team "fuck you up."
