GUYS!

While looking online for 3.75" custom scale action figure heads, I stumbled upon this:
toybot studios: Custom Arcade Cabinets for Your 3.75" Action Figure
Arcade Games in 3.75"! We can finally have the collector's dream- of having a MU game room!

I need one of these! I could have Wolverine playing the old X-Men stand up game!

That being said, I found jack else- besides Onyx, who else sells custom heads?

Scythe · 03-30-2012, 02:23 AM

^^I have a few of those. They're aright, alittle too flimsy, but the Hallmark xmas ornament cabinets are waaaay better.

That makes two of us. Scored one just a few weeks ago on ebay for 20 shipped.

usagent27 · 03-30-2012, 07:55 AM

guys i posted my Baron Zemo if any of you are interested.

its in my ebay listings

Optimus Vader · 03-30-2012, 08:16 AM

This is like the Spawn Alley Appreciation Thread.

It might take a while, and you'll miss out a few times, but I wouldn't recommend anyone pay more than $30 shipped for that. I think mine was around $18 shipped new, but I've seen many go for $50+ before shipping, so it's all about timing.

For some reason I thought you had that already... probably because it wasn't on your BST. Nice score!

Did not get the 2 pack, but got 2 bad ass single figures! Go figure...no pun intended! Happy hunting fellow arkers! oh, and love the paint and detail on Arch (one on MU's best figure) and Wolvie (growing on me because of the detail in his arms, and for a 3.75, if that, he looks so bulky!

Easily two of the best, dude. Congrats!

That's not so much of a threat as a tease!

My wife will only go to cons if she can dress up. Last year she was Emma Frost at SDCC. She loved it, with the exception of a handful of comments that showed up on the internet, lol. I went as classic Mimic.

I just saw the new Avengers Lego sets on Newsarama, which wouldn't be a big deal except it's the first time I've seen pictures of Loki's army. Apparently there's a "General" and then regular Soldiers. They definitely don't look like Skrulls though...

Went out for a hunt at the local " discount stores " to score some figs at clearance prices but none to be found but I did find this beauty

Should I picked it up? Unfortunately the " Man cave " is non existent.

trebleshot · 03-30-2012, 12:08 PM

If there are future plans for said man cave, then you might want to get it. It would look great next to an MU or Spider-Man display, maybe even as a centerpiece/focal point.

Optimus Vader · 03-30-2012, 12:18 PM

I like that Spidey picture. I don't know how large it is, but your typical poster size frame costs $20 for a piece of shit,.. that one looks pretty good (although I can't tell if it's glass or plastic) so I'd grab it.

FancyPants · 03-30-2012, 01:16 PM

grab that now. I love those kinds of pictures. Little pictures making a big one. I really want me a spawn alley, so many memories with that thing. When I was a kid, my bounty hunters would live there above everyone else in my star wars room. It was awesome

SH0CKWAVE · 03-30-2012, 01:35 PM

Those Ross frames are not glassed. The print is on cardstock w wooden framing. The mosaic of Marvel characters makes it a fun piece to look at. Cool if ur a Spidey fan too. Im not that crazy about SM however.

that's pretty nice. I'd pick it up but have absolutely no more room for anything that size

Exodus · 03-30-2012, 02:21 PM

Like everyone says pick it up!!! Will be gone I'm betting when the new Amazing Spider-Man comes out.

usagent27 · 03-30-2012, 02:21 PM

It's on my to do list. Spiderman is my favorite marvel hero and I gotta have all versions. Other projects of mind include juggernaut colossus and kid Loki (I'm using Ben 10 figure since he's shorter than the MUs). Will post when all completed

yeah, step one...trade me that sentinel...

behindthemask · 03-30-2012, 05:17 PM

Most Iron Man shoulder pads come off easily, as either side has a small ball pushed into dimples on the shoulder. I know a lot of figures are like that. if not I would use a scalpel possibly heat it up to cut right through it? or dremel but it's a tight spot and more liable to damage the arm.

mikefavata · 03-30-2012, 06:36 PM

BALLS! I don't want to pay $35-45 each for those! Bah!

If they're already in Canada maybe they're not coming to the US?
