While these deals are great and certainly appreciated, they really belong in the BST section. Use your sig to list updates and provide a link to your BST thread. You can also reply to figure requests by directing them to your BST or a fellow Arker's (similar to KingLouie731's post above).

As long as you post regularly, people will see your sig and the updates therein.

hey guys, One of my pet peeves has always been Magneto. The secret wars one was a disgrace, using the Daredevil buck and a lame cape. Dont care for the latest version. I thought the Showdown one was the definitive 3.75 scale version sans the small head and cape.

so heres my custom Magneto, my first custom actually...Showdown body, Thor cape (Showdown and secret wars one were way too wimpy and small and lacked detail) MU head, painted the purple parts more a brighter purple that pops, some dullcote to take the shine off

sorry for the low rez pic guys, its all i have at the moment

"My mutates!"

shortysben · 05-01-2012, 09:50 AM

Thats pretty solid...I just read AVX fightbook one...magneto Rules

Agreed.

Shockwave whats up good sir? I am bored today...thinking about cleaning up my collection, and setting up a new BST...or I could do a little light hunting...

already been to the comic shop, and placed wave 18 on hold for myself and got some new books I have already read...

shortysben · 05-01-2012, 10:12 AM

D00MTR0N · 05-01-2012, 10:12 AM

Thanks for sharing.

Regarding the Thor cape, how does Magneto look with arms down?

D00MTR0N · 05-01-2012, 10:16 AM

I have yet to even see the thanos/warlock cp wave stocked,distribution is something that needs brought up EVERY q&a with hasbro,if not for anything else to remind them how shitty it is for us and how it keeps $ out of their pockets.

shortysben · 05-01-2012, 10:18 AM

Doomtron, I agree that MU has potential to one of the premier toy lines right now, but small things are holding it back (dist is a big one though)...They need to start capitalizing...the last figures I actually bought at retail were wave 17...and that was nearly three months ago...

it sits snugly above his huge biceps. i did cut a part of the front a bit to allow movement since its glued on his chest.

the only problem i have are the legs and having him stand up...its a 6 year old figure afterall and the knee joints are pretty loose on this one. soft plastic on the ankle rockers dont help either

thanks, i gotta get into that soon

shortysben · 05-01-2012, 10:23 AM

Tarkin you do...its pretty good, and as far as the AVX main books, I think they are only 4 books into it (someone correct me if I am wrong)

AVX #0
AVX #1
AVX #2
AVX #1/6 (battle book)

fosterlager · 05-01-2012, 10:29 AM

I impulse-bought the Future Foundation set, since that FF Spidey is SO good-looking. Also, got sick of fruitless Target trips every day looking for the new CP wave.

Colder Soldier · 05-01-2012, 10:42 AM

I went to my TRU today on a wild hunch the truck might be early. I'm glad I did. Scored light-up base T'Challa, Cap, Black Widow, and got a white Iron Fist for free.

Pretty good day, today. I just have to not think about how I just paid $55 for four 3.75" figs.

How much does your LCS charge you for them? I wonder if I could ask mine to get it, they get it through Diamond correct?

The rest got a bit compacted:

Ha ha still looks like a store, love it though!

I believe he's just placing a pre order when his LCS is able to get them.

Ooh yeah, I wouldn't want to think about that price tag either.
