Yeah, I really don't get why. I mean, people didn't ditch Legends when it started sucking. Did the glory days of MU mean nothing to these people?

But, seriously, I'll post a picture of everything once I finish up a few customs.

Speaking of which, I have a Punisher, Hammerhead (thanks to whoever suggested using Black Mask's body), a Hulk Skrull (I've been calling him "Power Skrull", but "Gamma Skrull" might be more appropriate), and the evil, Silver Age Black Knight.

AWESOME Work dude. I have that hulk skrull head on its way. The black mask body I'm making Jigsaw out of it. Nice use of the marauder figure for punisher. I like the black Knight but the head is off to me. I've seen a few different versions but I just see aim when ever I see that head. Great work non the less

We got the Wonderman and Sandman. Here's a few of the designs.

So sad, would have loved to have those too....

Totally agree there!! Maybe it'll get reborn again like the 6 inch line did next year or so...

Found a gammorra at tru tonight. I really like the figure the only problem I have so far is how flimsy the sword is. I really wish Hasbro would do their sword more firm the way they did Excalibur that came with captain Britain

Another handful of pictures for today. First, I have Hobgoblin. I love the character, but I really hated the head on the MU figure, so I swapped it out with one from Vort (I think it's an unmasked Deadpool). I also had Vort do the hood in harder plastic instead of the rubbery stuff he usually uses for it so that I could paint it.

The other two are Conan and an Asgardian Troll. Well, sort of. I thought Marvel trolls were yellow, but they are really orange. Oh well, I guess he's just more pale than the typical troll.

That is a definite improvement for Hobgoblin.

I like Red Guardian from that set. He even got his own personal shield.

[MUfan97]

So like, why didn't they ever reuse this head?




I'm legit curious, since they reused that previously unreleased Tony Stark head twice(they did a pretty obvious upscale for that Legends 3 pack), so why didn't they use this come Winter Soldier?

[Pilkster]

I've never seen that head before

It was a variant. I never saw it in stores but a fellow ARKer got me the hookup.

I'm done being a tease, so here is my rather pathetic MU collection.

I don't really have that much space, so I retired some of my older figures to a box in the closet. You're not missing much, just a Hyperion, some Joes, Captain America movie figures and other things you've seen a hundred times before.

I think I posted all my MU customs. The others are DC and misc. characters that I need to post in their appropriate forums.

Great collection Villano! I love how you snuck krang in there. Who is that metal skeleton guy in the mark 2 movie armor in the back right?

Thanks. And that would be my take on Metallo in the back. 😀

[ukmu]

Great collection Villano!!!!

I wm a bit partial, but i really like the Baron von Strucker. Although, the Satan Claw is on the wrong arm.

I wish i could get some MARAUDERS over here. I will eventually, just with their HIGH international shipping it is like paying double for each figure. Someday, there is always something more pressing that is pulling at our small toy budget!

Great custom though! Really enjoyed the AIM head from Vort as your Knight. Cleaver that! Thanks for sharing and good to see you posting a bit more these days!!!

That figure was in the avengers line , but I'm pretty sure they used it in the Winter Soldier line too. I know they used the same figure with a helmet sculpt in the WS line. I think they have only put out 1 articulated Cap, 1 5poa, and 1 repaint since then, so there hasn't really been a chance to use it recently. Maybe we haven't seen it again because Cap changed his hairstyle between avengers and WS. Great headsculpt though, if you can get ahold of one you should. It fits a lot of figures.

He then fell into the blades and died.

Love that Merlin Dark archer figure. What hood did u use for him ?

[Jay West]

I love the twist at the end of Spider Man: Clone Conspiracy #3, and I hate that I will probably never get an official figure of the new look Jackal.

I posted close up pics of Metallo and Merlyn in the DC forums.

Metallo is made from an Iron Man body, a Vort head, and a touch of repainting for the Kryptonite glow.

Merlyn is an Air Raid Red Skull body and the head and gear are from Vort. The hood I got from another customizer a long time ago. I can't remember who it was now, but I did e-mail them about ordering another one when I noticed it disappeared from their website and they told me that the mold broke so they couldn't make anymore. Sorry.

their loss is our gain.

[Autobot_Goldbug]

that's the thing I don't get
once a line slows down or gets canceled some people just go crazy & dump everything they collected
is it incomplete OCD or something?
they didn't really think Hasbro would make every single Marvel character did they???

Go big or go home. And then sell that home!

Honestly I don't know about other people but I figure if Hasbro can produce some random dude with .0000003secs of screen time in the star wars lines Hasbro can produce more random marvel

This so hard.

10,000 different Storm Troopers and 1,000 generic rebel pilots and we can't even get some mainstays still. And on the subject of generic randos, where's my NYPD officers for this line? At least Infinite Heroes has GCPD SWAT!
