In other 3.75" news;

I really like this guy I got yesterday's look.

What gets me though, is; WHY CAN HIS LEGS NOT GO FORWARD. They can go out, but not forward. And the thigh joint can't rotate in normal IM2 fashion. I mean, isn't that articulation kinda standard now? TDKR toys could even do that.. I love the look, that's just one disappointment though.

Try rotating those ball joint hips

Scythe · 07-30-2012, 12:18 AM

Yeah, Squirtle. It's very hard to do, but they do rotate. It'll almost feel like you're breaking the damn toy, but every mold of that figure, except maybe most War Machines have rotation there. I have the purple version of that mold, and the damn thing is nearly glued together like yours.

run it under hot water for a bit till its soft then gently swivel it around, if water isnt hot enough, boil a little bit of water then dunk him in the water for like 3-5 seconds then try it, just becarefull not to burn your self or the figure

Tacoma sucks.

Got my Skrull in Texas (don't like him, going in my future 4 for $20) and I have never seen ScarJo BW or any Avengers Hawkeye in western Washington. Or anywhere.

Eyebrows make everything better!

I may pick it up. I never got that Wolvie figure and I feel like I should have him. I should probably ignore that feeling.

Hair dryer/blow dryer would work too.

Thanks Snailbot!!

Mine Are in my Avengers as well, I couldn't pass up the Photo though since I am cleaning off the shelves and moving into detolfs next weekend. I do have a spare WM that I may either paint up all purple or original costume when he was in the MOE.

Not so different!

SquirtleSquad7 · 07-30-2012, 05:30 AM

Yeah, the ball joint is really stiff. I was definitely afraid of breaking it. I'll try the hot water thing later! Hopefully it'll work! Thanks guys. :]

Just be really careful, make sure you poop before you do that, completely unrelated. When I was trying to unstick my crappy Iron Man with the same problem, even after heating it up, it ended up breaking a piece of the plastic on his lower hip, that's how good that damn thing was glued in place.

REALLY like this!

SquirtleSquad7 · 07-30-2012, 06:01 AM

Now I have another question to make my iron man more acceptable; is there a fix for loose shoulderpads? I put some glue on the little nubs inside the pad, but it still gradually slides down.

1andonly5711 · 07-30-2012, 06:07 AM

put a lil glue and wait for it 2 dry then try it

SquirtleSquad7 · 07-30-2012, 06:28 AM

Yeah, I used a different glue and it ended up working better.

that magneto is pretty pimpin'! well done.

SquirtleSquad7 · 07-30-2012, 08:06 AM

I know a lot of you guys are good at customizing; I just made a thread looking for help on a custom I want to do, if someone could take a look and help, I'd appreciate it. :]

Roufuss · 07-30-2012, 08:43 AM

Great news, my local TRU got the new Spider-Man / Doom and Spider-Man / Rhino two packs!!

Bad news, some guy bought the entire case as soon as the store opened.

TRU exclusives are the best!! /sarcasm

It was fun everyone...To all my MU buddies you guys rock.

Symbiote · 07-30-2012, 10:19 AM

No news yet on wave 18 sightings at retail? Where do you guys think they'll show up first (target, tru, or walmart)?

Also, has anyone done the paint removal on mu single release iceman? I bought one at tru wanting to remove the white x, boots, and gloves from him. Should I use nail polish remover?
