Where did you get that wolverine with the black shirt?

cellardoor · 10-02-2011, 03:23 AM

I can't remember the seller but he's from ebay. The custom used mostly Wolverine origin parts, with some clever repainting and scupting on the hands. And the claws are metal as well!!

cool,thanks for the tip.

Im really appreciating not only these MU figures, but my girlfriend for buying them for me for our 3 year anniversary this weekend. The Steve Rogers just came from ebay, but the rest are from London. Got Strange, Doom and Apocalypse from the Disney Store in London, they also had Scarlet Spider and Scar. i was surprised to see such recent figures in little old england!

the x-force pack from forbidden planet is badass, gotta get x-23 and then custom an archangel and fantomex!!

cellardoor · 10-02-2011, 11:56 AM

Nice finds man! I'm amazed a Disney store had those figures, i'm amazed they carry anything other than the Spiderman figures.
I've repainted an Archangel in the X-Force colours. I did a pretty good job and re-assembled the figure. Due to the heat (in the UK as well) I mananged to smudge the silver into the black and lost all my crisp lines. I've hit it up with some Dullcote now and will attempt a re-paint soon.
That said, standing the painted X-Force Archangel up with Warpath, Wolvie, X-23 and Deadpool did look frigging great.
If you build teams then you must attempt this!

lets see some pics!

cellardoor · 10-02-2011, 12:14 PM

There's a fair few of my pictures a couple of pages back as well as this one. The Archangel paint job isn't nearly presentable enough yet though so this is it for now.

That Dr Doom is fucking awsome. I also need to customize a Fantomex, hope I can find that Arctic Stormshadow for cheap at Toyfair.

I've seen the name Fantomex pop up a few times here at the Ark.

Who is Fantomex?

Thanks Tiberius.

I've seen him on some covers at the Comic Book Store, but don't read too many X-Books.

I bet Hasbro will get to him sooner, rather than later.

cellardoor i intend to do the same thing with an archangel. i need to acquire x-23 next time i get some cash. i just got wiped out drinking white russians all over london over the weekend so i cant get her!!

Tiberius ive just put together a fantomex tonight using a storm shadow. i didnt have the arctic one, but managed to find a qui gon jinn jacket which looks perfect.

the thing with using a storm shadow, is he doesnt have the muscular arms instead of jacket arms like fantomex has. beware of that!!

Cellar door, is that wolverine a custom or the original x-force mu wolvy??? i like that head sculpt better than the new one i just got.

6 minutes to go. Someone's about to be rich!

cellardoor · 10-02-2011, 02:13 PM

Jumpin' jesus. That lot sold for $800. Damn.

That X-Force wolvie is the wave 1 figure. However, I used it as a test for some paints, lucked out and got the lines right. I swapped the hands with the patch wolverine from the comic pack. I think the trick was painting a good 4-5 coats of thin acrylic to get it even and natural.

thechris · 10-02-2011, 02:53 PM

Awww man, what the hell. If I knew about this I would've put in a bid. I easily spent more on my collection than that. That sold for cheap IMO considering it had the silver Warpath, coloured Vision, Blade, Galactus and Nick Fury figures, that's easily over $200 right there. Would've been a great way to start an MOC collection even if I've got space issues. I do have everything listed there, though, but still. Good for whoever won it at that price.

Went to Target today. Didn't find the new wave. But decided to pick up the Cap and Winter Soldier pack. 8 bucks!
Go Clearance!

I know those will still go lower at some stores but I couldn't wait. I bought the Captain and Crossbones comic pack for $7.48 plus tax.

Hey guys, not been on in a few days as I've been at a new job.

My Girlfriend has started collecting MU figures for me for Christmas and my Birthday (my birthday is the day after Christmas) starting with comic Thor, as he looks so much better than the movie version, and the cape is attached!!!

Need a bit of help directing her to which figures she should definitely pick up should she see them, thought I could get a bit of advice on that!
