I found a racing armor Iron Man at Target the other day when I went out on a figure hunt. Unfortunately the face plate was really scratched up. So I replaced the head w/ my opening face plate IM head. I also got my first copy of the Fett lift off effect I got from Joe out of the mold, and after some modifications which are needed for it to work for IM I decided to show it off as part of my custom.

I had left over of the yellow, and orange so I decided to replace my flame on Human Torch's head, and give him some new effects

Hold!!!" over and over.

I feel I am in the exact same boat! The stores here do seem perfectly set to restock in the next 5 to 10 days. Everytime I get the urge to just buy what I want now off the internet I've been making myself pause, take ten long deep breaths, and paint a custom. Its the only way I've been getting thru.

Marvel Comic 2 Pack Figures - Juggernaut vs Colossus - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

Just went to check that and tried to add 10 to my cart. No, not trying to buy 10 but I was trying to see how many they had left available to order right now. The system removed 3 from my cart and said there was limited quantity. So there are 7 left for now. Later, they'll update their inventory and allow more sales of it. This happened the other night when I ordered 2 of them. I went back to see how many more were available, and it seemed like I got the last 2. It's somewhat like what Hasbro did with the X-Force SDCC 3-Pack and all the other Hasbro SDCC Exclusives - releasing them little by little each day.

Just got home from a weekend vacation, and returned to some sweet packages! Thanks to everybody whom I traded with, everything's sweet.

This guy, I'm most excited about, my Beast arrived 3 days before it's expected date, apparently!

I put him in the upside down pose immediately to see if it worked, and it's awesome.

Just thought i'd drop in a picture of my Hulk's new hairdo,somewhere id seen a picture of Hulk with an Army style mohawk type cut,so i gave it a try,took me about an hour of really careful trimming and smoothing with an exacto knife and a scalpel. Im really pleased with it:

Tiberius · 08-13-2012, 03:04 PM

BAD ASS MAN!! Damnn I wouldn't fuck with Hulk normally, but that mohawk seals the deal!

That's what I always figured it was. Damn.

redfox · 08-13-2012, 04:08 PM

Wow, nice haul!

AvsX has really got me wanting a Scarlet Witch and maybe a Hope Summers somewhere down the line. :/
