Could it be reshaped using hot water or a hairdryer? I've had to unstick a lot of joints and reshape hands lately. I wish Hasbro would rethink their packaging. It deforms figures and weapons and makes it near impossible for a kid to move the figure and accessories without bending or breaking something.

Awesome visual! That is a photo waiting to be taken.

Hey Beam, just buy some paint and go to town on any figure of your choice! My Vision is a bash of parts I felt repped him best, painted up with some testors model master colors. Looking forward to what you come up with.

making a lot of new molds seem to be costly, and planning characters with a similar body to maximize a molds not only seems to me to be smart fiscally but also it seems we would get more figures,

now you have gone and done it and made me defend hasbro

Looks like BBTS just received the new MU wave..

Ready to ship: Marvel Universe 3.75" 2013 Series 05 - Set of 4 1

ProfessorHov · 10-23-2013, 09:51 AM

The whole set still says pre order but it says processing

Yes, it always says processing when you pay for it and later you will get the "order shipped" email from BBTS.

ProfessorHov · 10-23-2013, 10:59 AM

Yup ready to go.

3233rafael · 10-23-2013, 11:21 AM

What's strange is that I haven’t seen this wave on eBay and BBTS is usually not the first store to receive new MU series. Maybe because it's the last wave...

Thank for the advice. Happyeverydaysales does have a Havok for $5 (free shipping I think). It's a pretty basic body to repaint. I'll look around and see what suits my needs.

I missed that but another etailer had that set on eBay for $65 shipped, had to jump on that deal, might be a long time before I see them at retail if at all, both Wally worlds near me dumped MU for the cheapie 5 POA figs. You just know it is gonna be northstar first. The rest of that case looks pretty weak sauce 3 Spider-Man repacks!? I wish the new figs would ship like the the prof x or rhino wave at 2 per case.

^ Beam, I picked up that havok figure for a custom variant havok, cheaper than retail and it was solid.

You're right, who knows when this wave will hit retail. Plus it's the last wave so you know some of the figures will be hard to find as usual.

Got Dagger today from the Chinese seller. It looks great. From what I hear though I got lucky.

I thought I was among the lucky ones but a friend of mine saw something about my Dagger I overlooked. She has 2 left legs including the feet. It's not so bad considering she'll be on a back shelf.

If you got it from happyeverydaysales, take a picture of it and send it to him. If he has the item in stock, he'll ship you the leg you need free of charge. That or he'll refund you.

It all starts with mysterio. The head underneath is chameleon. Just paint it grey/white. The body could then be used for vision. Head and cape from vortious customs.

Anytime. Pm me if you have any questions with getting started on vision.

I got my bbts confirmation as well. So happy to finally get omega red.

BEAM · 10-24-2013, 12:59 PM

Viperskingdom has Dark Elves up, minus accessories.

dark elf from viperskingdom | eBay

Looks like there are a little over 20 Dark Elves BIN and 17 Thor/Dark Elf combo BIN.

Credit goes to Air-Tight from Hisstank for spotting this.

Joeysmash24 · 10-24-2013, 02:44 PM

Just picked up dark elf, if anyone wants to trade for it I don't really want it

skywarrped · 10-24-2013, 06:35 PM

Price went down again on the Iron Man 3 Hall of Armor set.

IM3 Hall of Armor

kylactus · 10-24-2013, 08:26 PM

With the end in sight, Id like to saluet the figures that might, and should have been.....

ultraman zoffy · 10-25-2013, 12:08 AM

Uncanny X-Men #169 through 175 were always my favorite comic books of all time. Outside of the original 5 members, the lineup during those issues were always my next favorite. So, naturally, it was always on my to do list to make a certain someone in her Paul Smith run costume and re-enact the cover of #173...

... like all my projects, I'll clean her up a bit at some point (haha), but I finally have THE classic Rogue I always loved. Screw you, 90's Rogue! lol

Symbiote · 10-25-2013, 06:33 AM

Those are some nice customs fellas. Well done.
