that is awesome

Very cool head swap Optimus Vader. It seems that Red Skull goes great with most Cobra figures.

Booyah!!! Thanks OV!! I knew that body would be perfect for Red Skull, thanks again man.

Took a comparison shot of the new andrew garfield spidey with toby maguire spidey. There are some differences that I overlooked. I thought the amazing spidey had everything that toby maguire spidey had plus rocker ankles, nope. The new one doesn't have the calf swivel. All and all, rocker ankles sells ot big time. I'm going to modify him a bit and give him magnets like the other ones I did. I'm glad I found one.

can you swap the hands? to give new spidey a Twip hand?

Iron Man · 05-31-2012, 08:19 AM

All these pictures of super pose spidey's make me upset I passed on one when I had the chance.

I've only seen the black suit one.)

The black one is the variant from what I've read, and the blue one is the regular, once they get rereleased the blue one is the one that will get put out.

Nice Forge is that a custom?

Yeah I wish they would but knowing Hasbro who knows when so I just ended up making a custom of him

The whole wolverine and the x men line really lacked articulation. I grabbed him hoping that I could make some modifications to him.

Ok. Thats the one I saw at stores and didn't see the blue one. If anyone wants a black variant one, pm me and I can check if they got any more.

@Usagent, yes you can swap the hands on both figures. I'll try it out when I get home from work.

I like the Toby version more

Kayo83 · 05-31-2012, 10:06 AM

Does anybody know when Hasbro is going to release the chitauri figures??

jerzey93 · 05-31-2012, 10:14 AM

Since The MoE will be MU and are SDCC exclusives, can someone who is going, pick one up for me? I'd pay in advance if needed when the time comes.

That does look very nice! I can totally see that look in a comic book crossover!

Thanks... that was all LapuLapu though.. I had the figures and didn't even think to do that. I'm in now though... and I'm leaving the Cobra symbol on too.

Yeah, it works pretty well. One thing I really like about it is that it's a little taller than the movie Skull body.

So what you're saying is that this is the best (not talking customs) 3.75" Spidey figure to date? I agree, but don't have the SDCC version to compare. I like SHS too, but this one right up there with it for me.

One thing I really love about the figure is the plastic they used. It just feels more durable and consistent.

Damn, that might be the ticket right there. I've found zero new Joes here but I'm going to try it with the Dollar General CC hopefully tonight! And thanks for the quakehold tip.

Not sure but nick fury is supposed to be in that wave too. I've been wondering if its going to be the same one in the iron man pack.

I still like the sdcc one because the costume has more detail and comic accurate. This one is good.

Also, here is some good uses for those weapon accessories from the dc aqualad figure.

I need that mandarin in the worst way, it eludes me. I don't want the upcoming red one, I'd prefer him in his og get up. Any one have one for reasonable purchase?

Shortysben has one in his BST. Dunno what he's asking for it. Hit him up.

denmasterprime · 05-31-2012, 01:08 PM

No ScarJo Widow in north Austin yet. No new MU. I'm trying to save money but Joes are calling me. I'm thinking of whitefaced Zartan for an updated Chameleon?

Just checked Ebay and solid Vision is going for WHAT? I'm not that emotionally connected to mine so are thereany customizers wanting to barter? I MIGHT be able to find the stand, it's possible.
