Well I'm glad someone's excited because that poll was way out of whack, I don't directly dislike Jaina but then I never got into the bulk of post-RotJ EU because I figured it inevitable that episode 7 would one day happen and it would most likely not incorporate stuff that most fans were unaware of. The first poll followed a very traceable path as Revan quickly established dominance and Sabine slowly but surely built a solid second. The last poll kept changing between four characters thanks to people abusing the system and at the end it felt incredibly hollow. I'm personally still very surprised that Mara Jade was almost dead last, she was like the poster child of the EU and to this day people drone on about how much she needs to be drafted into the new canon.

I can get excited about pretty much anything XD well not always everything but lol Wow Mara Jade being last? I mean I was thinking she'd be the character who would have mostly won over Jaina. Love Mara Jade as well (not to keen on Episode 7-don't hate but literally kind of ended my Star Wars collecting days. It's more of a mixed bag anyway) Oh and I know about her being drafted! All the talks were about that and I think that's a character that more than deserved to be drafted into another canon. I predict they're creating for Ep8 a character who's similar in that right to her. It would be great to have both but even more so for nostalgic reasons I find it pretty cool they are making Jaina Solo since I grew up with the books-Half Price bookstore

So the 9 inch Destroyer coming from Marvel Selects works right? He has changed sizes in the comic.

Jade was pretty awesome in the Thrawn trilogy in which she was introduced. Lost steam after that in my opinion. I wouldn't be opposed to a teenage Jade as an Inquisitor in the Rebels show. Might be a nice antagonist for Ezra.

D'oh! I was looking at the thread and clicked a few pages back accidentally and was surprised to see this one. Missed it while out of the country on vacation.

Arch, yes this was me. I made a few updates since. On the Jason fig I added a ton of paint/blood splatter. For the Mike Myers fig I got rid of some of additional dreack that served no purpose like the holsters. I had played with dumping the web gear altogether as it becomes a spot on version but then I really liked it so just made up a backstory that the captured MM gets dropped into war zones by the govt and they want to get most out of the investment so strap a Kevlar vest on him...Lol.

Oh yeah that thing has changed size wildly. In some of its earlier appearances it seemed like it was meant to be almost Celestial sized but would also show up as around 2 to 3 times the size of a man. More recently it's been smaller but still big enough for a person to sit on its shoulder decently. So the Select figure could technically work in both the 3.75" and 6" scale depending on how big you want it to be.

Just picked these up from TRU, $7 per set. Only 5 POA and comes in gray and tan. Over sized guns clip on the suits, the drone attaches on the back. Could be used with Hydra and/or SHIELD.

ukmu · 01-21-2017, 11:22 PM

Those suits are proper cool!!! Good grab on those.

Marvelfangirl · 01-24-2017, 09:16 PM

This is listed as a Marvel 3.75 head could I use this to be compatible with a five inch or six inch body or the head would be too small?

LordMudd · 01-25-2017, 12:48 AM

I would say no.

CCC.

ukmu · 01-25-2017, 01:47 AM

Sorry MarvelFanGirl, that is like a GI Joe head on a retro He-Man figure. Works if you're going for an end scene of Beetlejuice after the witch doctor sprinkles his magic dust.

Perrfect example. Thanks for the feedback guys!

theArchivist · 01-30-2017, 08:37 AM

I saw these listed on Toys R Us website but don't know what scale they are. Schleich usually does figures in 1:20 scale which can be fudgeable for 1:18 sometimes.

ukmu · 01-30-2017, 12:04 PM

Are those from Schleich? Not for the figure collection, but cool all the same. Would look good sitting somewhere. Fantastic if they got a Marvel license!!

Remember kids.... " I like Schleich."
that slogan rhymes in case your not up on German pronunciation.

I've honestly always wondered how to say that name. Thanks!

Yes they are, at least that is what the Toys R Us listing says. I haven't been able to confirm that anywhere else though.

If they are anything like the DC figures they could be good for customs or set in a big dio like Hasbro used to do.

Ha! Me too and I've been saying it wrong for years now...

That's exactly how I was pronouncing it and will probably continue despite knowing differently now.

theArchivist · 02-13-2017, 09:18 AM

I picked up an SH Figuarts female blank for a larger version of She-Hulk. MU was a bit undersized for what I wanted. She'll need a new head and maybe some new arms but size wise I liked it.

Jay West · 02-13-2017, 12:32 PM

Having a hard time getting my phone to cooperate, but Mythic Legends 2 is currently a Kickstarter and they have Goblins that would make pretty good Trolls. Look like they are about 4 inches tall. Maybe 4.5.

ukmu · 02-13-2017, 12:43 PM

That is in scale with the modern 3.75" Jay, I think anyway. As the line has crept to 1/16 scale or even 1/15 with some of the new bucks.

Anyone know the source of the sculpt?
or is it original.
