That's awesome, and you live in NY? Must have a stylish condo or house?

Nice, hopefully someday I can display my collection like that, especially my statues.

I was just looking at someone on Hisstank's custom painted Zombie Viper done in realistic colors...and thinking I could do the same.
But make the uniform a Hydra uniform!

Pure Genius.

That would be awesome if that were the case, but which revision cases are these? Sometimes I think these are just returned figures a collector found a better one of.

LORD MARVEL · 01-02-2012, 10:20 PM

marvel figures $5 a piece. Minimum of 4 figures or more shipped. So $20 shipped for 4 figures..$5 dollars per figure after that ***

Nice Bamfing Nightcrawler there Hank!

Finally found another WWH and upgraded my custom Ares with WWH weapons , what you guys think??

Tiberius · 01-02-2012, 10:55 PM

Looking at that makes me thing the new Ages of Thor figure would make a cool base figure.

This is what part of my room looked like a few months ago:

My extra MU's look like evil's set up. I've got to take some updated pics.

I think I have that same black shelf. Anyway, cool collection dude!

MeLikeJinx · 01-02-2012, 11:52 PM

Wow... that collection room looks like a comic store... if the comic store sold awesomeness instead of comics. LOL.

wolverine2281 · 01-03-2012, 12:23 AM

here's some more pics. These too are a little outdated

I love it when I find cheap shelves on sale or like at Goodwill. I'm obviously running out of room though

DogFashionDisco · 01-03-2012, 12:45 AM

Nice collection, and I hope that shelf didn't cost more than $20, the damn thing was new for that much, but you picked it up assembled (putting them together is always the worst part).

wolverine2281 · 01-03-2012, 12:50 AM

I picked up a smaller black one (about half the size of the bigger black one) at goodwill assembled for maybe $10. That big one I think I got at walmart on clearance. The ones at target are way overpriced. But yeah the rest I put together myself. no biggie

looks sick, just an idea, I'd personally paint all those blue railing black or siliver or use a drybursh method, would make it look more realistic.

Great idea....Yea also I have to paint the police station I got at wally...Its very white..Thanks again for the idea..

Got two sets of wave 17 today. Kind of a MEH wave, but way better than the last "repaint" wave. The manager at my local TRU said that this was the only case they got in, or were getting in. Anyone ever heard any shit like that before? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me, but they've never steered me wrong in the past.

wolverine2281 · 01-03-2012, 04:23 AM

I've got a buddy looking to trade his MOC X-Force Archangel for a loose complete one in good condition and $40. Anyone interested LMK.

That's Greg Horn I think- he does some amazing cheesecake comic art.
Some of the best hero posters I have framed and signed are his- a great guy too!
Google his stuff- he's dome a ton of comic covers.

xanthax · 01-03-2012, 08:24 AM

So, I found Bulldozer vs Thing and Captain America vs Klaw sets at a Walmart last night for $11. Its was nice to find some MU stuff in the area that I already didn't have. I'll be going back Friday to get the Storm & Nightcrawler and Wolverine & Human Torch packs. I was pretty excited the find Klaw, since I had heard he was a little hard to find nowadays.

I don't think it matters what they say. The few times I've asked about MU in TRU I got answers that didn't make any sense.

I've seen the Bulldozer/Thing pack a few times recently too.. I'd like a Klaw, so hopefully this means that'll pop up in different areas.
