I thought vortious did them on translucent green and it looks like it in that pic. You can ask I thought I read on his site he does translucent but I don't see that now.

Even I kinda feel like buying the GoTG 3 pack just for Starlord now. LOL.

One of my TRUs still has IM2.

Are people still looking for Dark Elves? I might be in the area of some tomorrow.

Still looking for 4.

Just about any of the casters can and will cast in just about any colour. I know that VORTIOUS would it. Not sure if he would have a non opaque green on hand, or if you just.Chuck.half green and half clear? I don't understand how casting works that much....

Also, what about a cheap Ben10 figure or a Green Lantern Guy? Look around in different cheaper toy lines and will more than likely find a perfect match for under a fiver shipped to you!

Psycho Pirate · 05-24-2014, 01:18 AM

Vort does translucent green well. His Green Lantern parts use it.

i'd like 4 as well...how much is shipping gonna be to the US?

ukmu · 05-24-2014, 03:47 AM

I always promote VORT.... His work, but especially his.customer service is second to none.

I was looking for a Maria Hill last spring and Google brought me to casters. I searched through several casters and asked them all questions. Vort answered each time promptly. He was very informative.

He then suggested I join the MUCC to talk to like minded collectors and customizers. Once there I met some wonderful and helpful friends. JimmyO told me about toyark and its MU thread dedicated to UK collectors. I feel in love!

Here on TA I have met very nice people and even was graciously gifted a Vision from the wonderful raf3233!!! Greatest Arker ever in my mind and heart....forever.

I didn't even know.anything about Marvel until Avengers Assemble came out and my son wanted Avenger toys for Christmas. He then would ask me a million questions about characters and their origins. Marvel Wikipedia, fan sites,and several Marvel encylopedia books later... we are BOTH experts now.

Our collection has.grown and grown but remains VERY specialized. Every Avengers ever, and every team or army that they team with or that they have ever had a fight against. Plus 1990's X-Men and Fantastic Four.

Also, I believe, we have the BEST armies out there. There be others with more, but we have the PERFECT custom vehicles and playsets for each team. Also our HYDRA army rolls close to 50 deep, has two mechs, a custom dropship, a mobile command centre,specialists,dreadknock droids,customs, and a SDCC Red Skull to lead them!!!

Have done all this for my son on a tiny monthly toy budget. Mostly because of the help and good fortune of friends like you!!! Also, I consider myself the foremost MU Maria Hill figure hunter in the world. I have had 6 in total so far! In fact, one is currently enroute to our new member, Psycho Pirate..... so if any one is looking for that rare gem, I can find her. She isn't always cheap, she isn't always available... but I can get her for HALF of current eBay prices every time. It is just my gift, its what I do.

Sort of funny story about Maria Hill being the reason I even found ToyArk and now I seem to be the guy to hook everyone else up with her.... Life is silly some times.

Nexodusrex · 05-24-2014, 03:54 AM

Set my Collection up on new shelves. looks great! but I think I need more spice racks. not pictured are my army builders. probably going to put them on the helicarrier

memphis01 · 05-24-2014, 04:46 AM

OMG, awesome collection!!! I hope they relase FFF someday.

Ninjinister · 05-24-2014, 06:46 AM

Thanks guys, despite me doing business with Vort several times, I had never thought of checking his store out. I e-mailed him and he says he's adding Electro hands in all colors when his store comes back (6/1 if the message on the site's any indication), so I'll have them when I can.

Cheers, mates.

ukmu · 05-24-2014, 06:59 AM

VERY nice!!! Looking forward to seeing those armies on the Super Helicarrier.

Loose, it's about $8.50-$9 to ship to the US. The figures themselves would be like $12 each after tax. So 4 of them would be like $55-$56. I'm not sure if the store will still have them but they had a bunch last time I was over there. I'll pick up what they have and let you guys know.

K Dubious · 05-24-2014, 09:06 AM

Sad day, I'm moving and today is the day I pack up my MU. The Mantle has been a sacred place for my collection and customs and today it comes down until the phoenix is newly resurrected aka. a blank slate to rebuild.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic I have already packed up my camera.

Nexodusrex · 05-24-2014, 09:07 AM

a few more pictures, including a cameo. Notice, alot of stands are miss matched. I use a bunch of star wars and gijoe stands I bought on ebay, and bigger figures dont use stands

THIS is why I need a new spice rake

ukmu · 05-24-2014, 09:23 AM

the 11th DOCTOR!!!!!! yeah! REALLY nice shots (and collection) NEXO!!! Maria Hill, Swamp Thing,Fin Fan Foom, Kang (just because I think he is a COOL figure) and that BIG PIMPIN' SDCC Red Skull are my five favourites in your pics.

and K-Dub.... GREAT to hear from you. Too bad, the new mantle set up was looking GOOD (except there are no HYDRA ATTACK TROOPERS #12 variant comic colour.... because they are here in rainy England) The Hall of Armour and MOJO's television studio base.... the business!!! Proper respect. Also, loving ALL the flyers in that display!!!!

I promise to get a few group shots up here by the next weekend. I am in AWE of all these great shots being posted!!

On a side note.... I need a GotG three pack loose for cheap, I got some decent trades right now. PM me.

Working on making a sig, an avatar pic, a B/S/T and asking people to update my feedback. Giving some love to my TA page for the ladies this summer!

No picture of such an awesome display could ever look bad, even with a cell phone.

ThorOdinson · 05-24-2014, 12:19 PM

im starting to think my stores arent going to be stocking the infinite series.

rea1180 · 05-24-2014, 02:26 PM

Finally at a TRU picked up Mysterio has a little defect right on the front of his bubble and a little separation on his upper left thigh swivel. Almost put him back but since is the only one I have seen I got him anyway. His bubble falls off really easy is this common? Also picked up Aurora no flaws here, she is really a great figure.

En Sabah Nerd · 05-24-2014, 02:58 PM

Just finished working on a piece of my favorite villain, I'll share the pics with you guys later. It's not hard to guess who it is.
Side note: Nexodusrex it looks like your top shelf is bowing just a tad, good thing there's not much room left there.
