I would like to see more box sets though, 5 or more. So far we have X-Men, Avengers....am I missing anything? I wouldn't mind a House of M one. Spider-Man, Hulk, Hawkeye, Luke Cage, Wolverine, Iron Man. Iron Man is a stretch seeing his armor is a lot different, but everyone else is either a repack or a repaint. Luke Cage has new paint and new head, Hawkeye paint, Spider-Man repack, ect.

House of M or AOA would be awesome as a box set, as long as it's brand new characters!

Hoth for an Alpha Flight showcase.
The Death Star could become Stark Tower.
The GI Joe HQ could become the Vault by adding clear plastic cubes for energy cells.
The Cobra Terrordrome could make an excellent AIM or HYDRA base.

But that Pyramid is not going to work for anything- it's waaay too small for even a heroclix Apoclypse to call home.

That's about as close to posing them as you're going to get from me.

Ha ha that's awesome. I'll have to post mine once I get some more thumb tacks and rearrange the wall space. I as well don't take them out of the package.

I assume it must just be a different mind set but I just don't get MOC collections especially when they look like that (nice collection btw) I mean whats the real difference between that and just looking at them at the store.

I agree here. The pyramid is a good idea but the scale looks off.

I'd like to share my magneto comparison pics.
SW mold custom painted in x force colors (what if...), showdown magneto with SW head swap, new ultimate magneto.

Deadpool catching some sun

Since MK is coming out with their 4" figures I wanted to share my custom mk ninjas. These were one of the early customs I did with some cheap paint from michaels. Customizing has come a long way for me since I started using model masters and tamiya paint.
Reptile, sub-zero, ermac, smoke, scorpion, and baraka.

I just find it odd that there seems to be more MOC collectors then any other kind of MOC collector. I mean in no way bad. Different strokes for different blokes and what not but It's surprising to me.

Reaver Strike · 11-01-2011, 11:03 AM

I would think that pyramid is too small for MU considering the scale of Playmobile.

LORD MARVEL · 11-01-2011, 11:19 AM

It's a Kmart exclusive, they had a bunch of those by my friend's area. Saw them when I was hunting.

Sick ass Magneto X-Force, would be awesome if they ever did make a variant for him or even put him on the team.

no, but its probably ment to be a holiday boxed set so expect it soon, probably before black friday.

Optimus Vader · 11-01-2011, 12:52 PM

I haven't.. and I'm betting that Cap's shield will be truly invisible (once everyone steals it).

I plan on picking up the set, switching out the shield with a spare I have, and giving the set to my friends kids. Shield for me, Set for the kids. kids are 5 so I doubt they'll care. kills 2 birds with one stone(checks off xmas gift)
