My question is - How do I detach them for the bases? They waaay increased the size of them which looks pretty bad. most of them look like they can balance on their own. It seems like the feet in all cases are seperate entities, regardless, and one came loose easy enough on one of the figures - that's a fluke though, all the others are too jammed in there.

Some kind of heat gun? Superglue remover? hobby knife? really worried about injuring myself here. Burnt myself with a soldering iron once or twice...

Do you have a Dremel? A cutting disk should make removing them from the bases super easy.

Thanks. Yeah that might be a decent base if it's big enough. Thanks.

nah. i got the heat gun though let's soo how that goes

Update: Heat gun does not work on eternals figs. Nearly messed up the Sersi figure trying to cut her out but easy fix. Shang Chi figures come out. Heat gun very useful in "Reposing" the figs so they can stand unassisted.

Would a regular Craft knife work? I've been trying with a less sharp knife but it just caused damage(luckily to a part I'm going to have to go over anyway). If I heat it up a bit should a stanley knife be sharp enough to cut through it?

Been a while but back with some new stuff - Disney+ Moon Knight and Sylvie, and a MCU concept Kit Harrington Black Knight.

Very nice work. I'm looking forward to Moon Knight. I think it'll be a fun trip.

Thanks. I got one the other day. Out of package he's going to be too short, for me, but it would indeed be a nice base figure for a Kingpin.

I also bought one of the Batmobile cars they had. I have plans for that, that don't involve Batman.

I have no idea what the figures you're trying to work with are made out of, but can you get a hobby saw and try that?

Given the figurines you like to work with, I'd seriously consider investing in a Dremel.

Awesome work, those look great.

Does anyone know if the portal effect that comes with Marvel Legends Defender Strange is compatible with Marvel Universe 3.75" figures?

Thanks.Base figure is a MCU Black widow with sculpted chest detail and hands/lower legs/boots from a GI Joe retaliation Lady Jaye. Head is fantastic3D and a bit of hand made soft goods.

I have 9 days to watch 3 seasons of Marvel Netflix shows. Can I make it?

If it's not Daredevil I wouldn't even stress about not watching the others. Outside of Jessica Jones s1 and the first half of Luke Cage s1 the rest is easily skip-able.

It's an effect accessory so I don't see why not. It'd just be a large portal.

Nice! The library backdrop is Fortnite, but what's the castle one?

Possibly. Just looked at some pics and it's hard to tell...

EDIT: It's the Chap Mei castle front:

Word is they are coming to Disney+ along with a parental control feature on the 16th

That's a cool idea for Morbius. What did you use for the cape?

snake5289 · 03-06-2022, 06:50 PM

Cut it off of a Multiverse Knightfall Batman.

Can you tell me which Fortnite set that bookcase comes with?
It'd be amazing to put that on a spinner so it spins in the middle to reveal the Halo Checkpoint weapons or something on the other side!
