Lol. Terrax would knock anybody out. Leave it to the heavy BAF to be the one who falls over.

Dude that's not even the half of it. The day I got Thunderball, He's next to terrax in the back. None of these guys had fallen in awhile until I got tball. In the middle of the night, thunderball falls then terrax then drax fantomex and madame masque.


I really had to talk myself out of that one. She was going to start making me sleep under them "so they can attack you all night, those things scare the shit out of me. They're alive" she said

[Jason Abbadon]

SWEET! THere's this clear glow in the dark paint you can get at crafts stores- pit a tiny pinprik of it into all your ML figs and have them stare at her all night....

Great work on those customs Veronica Mars!

Hmmm that Clear Invisible Woman Variant is just screaming for customization , either for a half invisble/solid Sue with a leg swap/ arm swap or upper torso swap or its DIAMOND form Emma Frost.

[proteus]

Love those customs VM Lorna is quality!!! And that Spawn Alley looks great with those Tech Deck sets LM!! Just in case someone missed it,does anyone have any tips/advice on how to split the large MU torsos??

3 weeks ago I gave up looking (can not count the months!) for two MU figures, MU's Warpath (either version) or Archangel (either version)! So, I purchased Warpath (red) and Archangel (reg) online! 2 weeks ago I went to LCS and found 2 MU Archangel (reg)! Got around to opening my package that got online about a 2 week ago, and to my surprise, I get the Warpath (red) and Archangel (Gold face, but I ordered the regular version of him)! Oh, well...I guess I have the live with the gold face version of Arch! Happy hunting, Arkers! Will post pics later!

[LapuLapu]

@ yukon how much you payed for Archangel ? My LCS is asking for $40 for Gold Face Archangel , if you payed less than that then you got yoself a deal.

[LapuLapu]

@ proteus I heard something about boiling or heating the figure and using something like flat head screwdriver ( small one ) , inserting it at the armpit cavities until u hear a pop or something that tells you that a separation has occured. Now I havent tried this as Im afraid that I would only damage the figure. Goodluck!

[LapuLapu]

Anyone here has a spare Loki staff from the avengers line? I need one to go with my comic Loki but cant justify buying a full figure just for that staff. I can trade a couple of M16s with that, as that is the only thing I have extras of, then there is also my underwear i have extras of those too but I highly doubt you guys would want that.

Here's my technique, but I'm sure there are variations so don't consider this the only way.

Conceptually what we want to do is weaken the glue holding the torso halves together and carefully separate them, retaining the peg integrity for reassembly.

I use the boil and crack method, you'll need a pot of boiling water (just barely boiling, not molten lava hot)

I also use a small 2 1/2 inch capacity bench vise, like this one:



I pad the jaws of the vise with a couple layers of old t-shirt cut into rectangles.

• Start by dipping the entire figure in the hot water, for only like 45 seconds to a minute.
  
• Remove the figure and pull off all the soft parts that will remove easily. Typically we are talking about the legs at the thigh swivel or hip joint, head, and arms at the bicep swivel.
  
• Return the body carcass to the water and give it about two minutes soak this time.
  
• Quickly take the body from the water and insert it into the vise so the jaws tighten against the ribs under the armpits.
  
• Apply pressure with the vise slowly and carefully, you don't want jaw prints on the mold (the t-shirts will help here)
  
• Don't try to crack the body in one shot, if it doesn't want to crack, don't force it.
  
• Repeat that process as many times as need be (usually the torso will crack within 2-4 tries)
  
• You will most likely hear an audible (but slight) crack sound, that's when you know your on the right track.
  
• Once the torso has a big enough gap between the halves you can carefully separate the halves with a flat screwdriver inserted into an inconspicuous area.
  
• If you do it properly, even the pegs that hold the body halves together will be intact, making reassembly a snap.
  
• Take your time! This process cannot be rushed, and this isn't a race anyway, have fun!

There ya go!

Marvel Universe Avengers Walmart EXCLUSIVE Comic Pack 2-Hulk,Loki,Hawkeye | eBay

I bought one.... but not at that price ..gave him my best offer he took it.


so now all i wanted was hulk.... the other three will be sold together with package....

taking best offer.. pm me if you want it.. remember all three are htf cause they werent on a single card ..but im not asking alot for them ..pm and i will reply...

[BigHanksCustoms]

Too much awesome for one pic: Storm Shadow!

So many accessories, even the throwing dart pouch has a removable dart! Reminds me of Lowlight's ammo box with the removable bullet!

Hasbro almost always scores a home run with Joes, and this newer hand/finger orientation is possibly the best for figures with accessories. Plus the wrist joints rock!

Anyway, some pics!

[trebleshot]

Great figure, for certain, but it's not Marvel. Post those pics in the Modern G.I.Joe thread here.

Wow, that's pretty lucky! The Deathmask is the hard to find one. I just sent 4 regular Archangels to the Phillipines this week! They're still around for sure.

I'm jealous for sure, but not enough to justify even a $50 price tag on that when it may only be $19.99 or even $22.97 when it finally hits Walmart...

Glad someone can though!
