on the (dimmer) bright side, could this be a dampening teaser that heralds a surprise newly sculpt Con-special of Skittles that reflect the comic versions?

just hypothesizing for fun, as i ain't sure if such serendipitous moments have ever happened in Hasbro-verse before... heheheh :P

I'm hoping for good things to come from our beloved line in the future, but not expecting anything. If you have low expectations, it's hard to be disappointed.

UKMU, hydra 3 pack soldiers, AIM soldiers & skrull. My armies are already looking pretty decent, these should push it over the top!

Thank you universe, lovely lovely pictures, will keep my eye out for him (we are talking £90+ for an action figure, but if there are no new waves to spend our cash on, why the hell not ��)

Oscarv · 08-16-2017, 12:45 PM

Oh, also, I'm a HUGE Deadpool fan, but even I'm a bit disappointed in the multi coloured offering we got. I'm aware they are technically different characters, but I believe we will still be 2 short of the actual team/squad (read the comic a while back, my memory is fuzzy). Will still grab them if/when I can. But all are going to need some work to make them look right. It seems what we actually do get now, requires some modifications to be "right". Not acceptable in my mind.

No torso articulation is starting to bother me less and less for some reason, so that AoA Mags with a simple headswap should be good enough for me.

I also really want to try using that Jewel headscuplt on MU Psylocke... I just hate that MU Psylocke/Dark Phoneix/Black Widow headsculpt so much.

ukmu · 08-16-2017, 01:09 PM

I can't wait to see your armies dude!!!! Care to tease numbers? It is the next best thing to pics and is actually toy porn to me. Love army numbers....sorry, I was drifting off there.

Times are tough when our own upbeat Oscar is feeling blue. I also could see them putting them out as a wave instead of a box set and one or two being near impossible to acquire. Said wave would peg wave until 2019 giving them more anti 3.75" fuel to present to the bean counters. Hope it isn't that at all, just a worst case scenario written out.

I'm glad those 4 TRU HYDRA GOONS found a good home. When I do trade I ALWAYS make sure they go to a good home. I actually have feeling for them, daft as that sounds. We still take the Dr. Doom we got from K Dubious's infamous set up and you tube hit (close to 11k views now) on walks or special trips! In fact I sent a beloved Maria Hill to the late Pyscho Pirate ( r.i.p. not in life just on ToyArk) and we had breakfast with her the morning she was shipped and we all gave her a kiss, even Grandma was over! Sent four HYDRA troopers to Pilk very recently and we set just those four up by the tele and watched Avengers. May seem silly, but we treat them like little people and miss them when they leave.

Pilkster · 08-16-2017, 01:45 PM

I have 52 mixed hydra figures amd some on the way from my good pal OscarV when they arrive so the heads are strong with this one lmao!

Pilkster · 08-16-2017, 01:47 PM

OscarV has some of the biggest armies Ive ever seen. His SHIELD and AIM are just beyond amazing!!!

Oscarv · 08-16-2017, 01:58 PM

I know I have been going on and on about showing off the man cave, but it's taken such a long time to do, want it to be perfect before I share the results. Life/work/family are always first. Always have new ideas for customs/tweaks, so end up aborting the display to work on them. That can side track me for weeks. It will be done sometime soon, ish, maybe. Haha

So any word if the New Falcon figure exists or is it just a cruel tease on the packaging?

Mordiganne · 08-17-2017, 03:51 PM

Welcome, Nut, hope you post up some customs!

Thanks to all for the additional comments on the figs. Realy enjoy making them and already planning/prepping the next batch. Should be fun making the next group.

As an aside, even though some folks think things are dying out, I've noticed a sharp uptick in the price of 3.75 figures across the board (Amazon). If it's really dying, where's the discounts at?

Mordiganne · 08-17-2017, 03:53 PM

One more thing...really, REALLY looking forward to the medieval figures from Boss Fight. I have some grand custom plans for those figures! Only the knightly ones though, no interest in orcs and elves and such.
