I only ran a few Dr. Strange searches, but I only found two. Anyway, this seems to be what's hot in terms of variants or rarities.

1) Vision (color)
2) Blade
------------------------------------------------------------
3) Archangel (Death) -- prices are up and bids are in.
4) Iron Patriot w/Norm's head -- prices look high, but there aren't a lot of high bids and there are a TON listed. Maybe Norm needs to get bumped down a notch or two.
5) Dr. Strange (clear) -- least amount of listings? .. sure looks that way.

..and could the Iron Spidey clear variant be busting into the top five? There aren't a ton listed.

I checked Cable w/Hope and he's not top five material at the moment. Any others that you feel might crack this top five?

Dammit. I really need a Death Archangel. That fig is UGLY, but he's a hole in my list...

I've been a busy customizer lately. Here is my latest mu appreciation.

X-Men Namor

Battle for rights of being called the first mutant

X-Force nightcrawler
I need a deathlok

My black suit spiderman with ultimate articulation. I swapped dr. strange's legs and hands.

Tiberius · 02-08-2012, 11:16 AM

Wow, your work with the blacks is superb. All of the MU blacks usually seem too light or muted blue. Really top notch work there.

Now all you have to do is make your way to Hasbro and take over as the paint apps lead, if not lead sculptor.

There are two tones of black I use. For a shiny look, I use tamiya acrylic semi glossy black. For the non shiny, I use model masters flat black. The flat black blends well with the blacks on marvel universe.

Thanks for the feedback.

I was kind of hoping that one of the team packs this year would be another X-Force pack. It's cool that they gave us the three members last year, but the rest of the team would be nice.

shortysben · 02-08-2012, 01:56 PM

Exodus that night crawler is pretty spot on! Nice work!

I don't know when they do the announcing (I think they were first shown at SDCC last year, but I could be wrong), but at this point last year I didn't know about the team packs, so I'm hoping there will be some this year too.

Yes- they are- repainted Thor, Cap and Iron Man in one and repainted Spidey, Wolverine and Iron Fist for the other.

Optimus Vader · 02-08-2012, 02:15 PM

Either of you two have any Gigantic Battles 2012 knowledge??

No- I was just bullshitting.
I figured that nothing could be as depressing as repaints...and now you've gone and realized my nightmare, thanks!

Gah! Is it worthwhile buying a $20 three pack for one figure?!?
