What, you don't like pouches and straps?

Too bulky and difficult to replicate. I like my 'yellow spandex' and suspension of disbelief.

It's because of people like that that swappers are such a massive problem. Seriously, look at this one someone posted on Instagram recently:



They weren't even trying.

I should note that 3 3/4 inch swaps seem to be pretty rare, from what I've seen. With a few exceptions, it seems to be mostly the packs that contain a packaging style similar to the 6 inch figures. A packaging redesign is well in order from these companies.

Also, store employees should really CHECK THE BACK OF THE BOX!

Couldn't your suspension of disbelief expand to pouches?

[kylactus]

Ha, some kids going to be super pissed on christmas when he sees the wrestleing figure his half blind gam gam got him!

I don't mind a tactical look for guys like cable, domino, and deadpool. They carry weapons and shit so they need pouches and a militaristic look. But I've never seen shatter star, Rictor, Cyclopes, or a lot of the other non weapon using folks get anything out of a pouch. I've always expected in just one of the many back against the wall, all hope is lost, chips are down situations Cyclopes has been in, he would pull something useful out of one of his bandolier pouches! He's got more damn pouches than the bat belt, but you never even see him get a freakin power bar out while hikeing in the savage land.

Well, do you see pockets on those tights? I like to think that those pouches substitute for pockets the same way my magnetic pouch holds my phone when I don't have pockets. However, I wear mine like a fanny pack because it's more comfortable that way, so perhaps some of those pouches are just there so he doesn't look ridiculous(too late).

[kylactus]

So it's your contention that those pouches contain his money clip, car keys, tictacs, and random pocket junk? And in the interest of maintaining the dignity of our community here, I'll pretend that instead of "fanny pack" you said tactical pouch.

I went to a local comic con today and there are some real dipsticks with no manners who don't believe in things like deodorant that ruin it for the rest of us lol...


On the flip side I finally picked up these guys for $10 a pop, I've been looking for all 3 for years at a decent price, well at least havok and hope. Baby hope is so cute, so glad I've found them!

I hate you. Every comic shop here would know what that Havok is going for on line and be charging the same or more.

I know right, that's been my experience up until now. If it makes you feel any better I've been searching for that sucker for SIX years. I've only seen it one other time at a toyshow a few years back but they wanted too much (market value) for it. I had no idea his egg beater wasn't glued on his head. The days of file cards, stands, and accessories were awesome.

Jeez. That's frakking terrible. I know a lot of people claim you can't blame employees for not knowing every item in a package but this is a whole other level of not giving a crap that should have a person fired or at the very least sent to the optical department for a damn eye exam.

That isn't as bad. Did my own Polaris so I only need Havok and Banshee for my XMen.

I'm just told that my pouch looks like a fanny pack, but I might adopt the term "tactical pouch." 🌚

And yeah, it would make sense. I mean, I'm pretty sure he goes around casually like that at the mansion sometimes, so why not?

He's got a LOT of pouches on that Jim lee 90s suit. My guess is an extra pair of ruby stunner shades, yes some cash, spare communicator, a key to the mansion, blackbird, and his Mazda RX8, protein bars and snacks, some water/Gatorade pouches, and maybe a small gun like a Walther PPK or something.

Yeah it's an older one... I looked it up and it came out in 2010, I just need that death mask archangel, Maria Hill, undercover assault black widow and a solid vision. I made customs of death mask archangel and solid vision but I still kinda want the real thing sometimes.

[Basilisk]

So guys I want to make a Toad figure using Spider-man Noir's body and use Triton's head with slight resculpting to give him a black mohawk (and possible some goggles too)

I did want him to have Ultimate Toad's look of a Bandana and Dreads but that seems like too much effort.

[samsson37]

Hey guys anyone have a Mystique or her head for a decent price that I don't have to sell my first born ..

If you want Bandana and dreads Toad, go for the animated Wolverine and the Xmen one.
