Yeah that is pretty funny. That ML Vision is a good figure while the MU one is mediocre at best in my opinion.

Finally picked up Crimson Dynamo. Glad I held off, found him at TJ Maxx for $4.99!

behindthemask · 01-07-2012, 07:49 PM

that figure is easily worth double, it's a solid figure all around, I bought him and paid probably 3 times that and had no problem shelling out the $$.

Yeah, my Marshalls/TJs are pretty rich with IM 6" figures right now.

I see Hulkbuster, Movie War Machine, and the black/gold Suitcase armor pretty regularly.

BAFbuster armor, damn.

Looks awesome, and great eye on that mold choice!

behindthemask · 01-07-2012, 10:18 PM

thanks man, he's definatley 1 of my favorite pieces. he stands head to head with my hot toys ironman, mind you that's with his big base below him lol. I would love to have a big 20 inch articulated version of 1, but costs 2 much. I just find big toys really fun compaired to the little guys from time to time atleast.

BigHanksCustoms · 01-07-2012, 10:20 PM

He's awesome! What's the skinny on the head? Did you sculpt that?

behindthemask · 01-07-2012, 11:12 PM

funny enough you ask, I didn't actually make it so I can't be greedy and take credit, I bought of a seller on ebay like 4 years ago and strangely enough paid around the going rate of a stanard apocalpse figure. I did however ask the seller/customizer what he did, and he told me that he cut half of the colar off around the neck sanded down the giant A, he then sculpted the face completed and once it harden he cut out the holes for the eyes and mouth, then it got entirely painted black,then covered with red and gold , he has full articulation, only blemish is a tiny scrape on 1 leg from a time when my neice grabbed him off a shelf and not realizing how heavy he was, he fell and got a bobo,it's a simple fix, the tricky part is color matching the gold paint he used.

BigHanksCustoms · 01-07-2012, 11:32 PM

Very cool, I might have to nick that idea there, BafBuster made with Aopocalypse. I wonder if an Iron Man Pez dispenser would scale well for a helmet?

By the way, you will have more armor to add to your armory soon!

DogFashionDisco · 01-08-2012, 12:00 AM

Damn, that BAF Apocalypse turned into a one bad ass Iron Man.

I feel the same way.

arkitect76 · 01-11-2012, 07:40 AM

quick question for anyone that has been in the game for a while now....the new Marvel legends figures coming out this year....in the past, have they released in all big retail stores (walmart, amazon, TRU, etc.) or are they usually released in specialty stores and comic shops like the marvel select line? This will be my first time getting marvel legends and would like to know how easy/hard the legends line will be to obtain....thanks in advance...

Optimus Vader · 01-11-2012, 07:46 AM

The Legends will be retail regulars (Walmart, Target, TRU, etc). The Select line is comic specialty shops and online shops (same goes for DC Direct if you get into DC).

I wonder when they'll start to pop up in North America since Asia has them already...

Thanks a bunch buddy!!!....yeah i started DC Direct as well....but great to hear the legends will be easier to get at local stores instead of being forced to get them online or specialty shops...

The Small haul of the day...

Why is Ms. Marvel so surprised?

Moon Knight, that's why.

LOL! Should've had the pinky up too!

M3T4L V1KING · 01-14-2012, 10:38 PM

I should also mention that the store I picked the ML from also had a loose but complete Hawkeye... $40 they wanted for it. They said it may go down if they still have it next week, too bad they live up in the city...

Tiberius · 01-14-2012, 10:39 PM

I have an inside man. Consider it ours...actually, we must talk!

Excellent! I want it for myself though.

avcprime · 01-15-2012, 07:01 PM

So here is before the risers....

DogFashionDisco · 01-15-2012, 07:09 PM

I prefer the risers.
