Marvel 3.75" Appreciation Thread

SA spidey is nowhere to be found in my area. I can get any other fig, but not him. The thing is, I dont even want to buy him, I just want to look at it, just so i can decide. Im not a fan of the new costume at all.

I'm going to modify him a bit and give him magnets like the other ones I did. I'm glad I found one.

Wish the new one had a trigger hand. Nice haul by the way.

Thank you Fallenlee for the awesome trade!! Hope your figs have arrived and hope you enjoy them!!

Symbiote · 06-01-2012, 10:26 AM

I appreciate turning 3.75 GI Joe Retaliation NINJAS into marvel Hand Ninjas. Just repainted the eyes green.

Also I didn't like the shade of red on the ultra poseable spidey so I re-painted the red with some clear red acrylic paint. I think it looks much better since the colors pop out more.
How he used to look

Repainted

And you know I had to do it. Added magnets in the feet.

What kind of magnets did you use and where can I buy them? Also, how did you attach them to the feet, superglue? It looks clean.

All you did was coat him with clear? That's some improvement. He does look better.

I showed my appreciation to them last week by buying these six..

..in fact, I appreciate them so much that I had only intended to buy Bullseye out of this group.

I appreciate the bruisers..

And I also appreciate how Galactus serves up his very own Silver platter..

Thank you, homie. A mighty rock indeed. If you only knew then...

evilanimation · 06-01-2012, 12:39 PM

Very cool.

Nexodusrex · 06-01-2012, 12:41 PM

We need to celebrate when we hit 1000. Hasbro needs to send us each a Fin Fang Foom

WeaponHEX · 06-01-2012, 12:42 PM

Hooray for 1000 pages!

Greenskar told me that the picture on the back of the blister card shows the fist and twip hands (same ones from sdcc spidey). I never noticed that before.

Earth magnets. You can get them from radioshack. I used a dremel on his feet to create a pocket for the magnet to sit in. superglued it in.

Yup just clear red paint. I did the same thing to carnage as well. I think I'm going to do the same thing with deadpool. The red dp from the taskmaster pack is a bit bright.

Went hunting on my lunch break. Tru had one skrull but no widow or hawkeye. They had a buy one get the 2nd for 50% off.

Stopped at another target and found two gi joe red ninjas. They are up for trade. I'm in need of the movie widow and hawkeye.

Thanks for the back pat.

Now I'd like to thank all of the great members who jumped on-board and helped lay a solid foundation here with their great displays, ideas, and help (Master of Dios, MacGyver, omega, Mr. Zulu & the rest of the one of threes,.. you know who you are), when there wasn't much going on around here... as well as the newer, yet just as passionate fans.

..and that's about all the praise I can handle for one day.

And remember; "We might not be able to save the world, but we can sure as hell avenge it!"

Ok, that last line didn't have much to do with anything here, but I've been wanting to use it since May 5th.
