yeah, DH2 would have to be a completely different sculpt, and I would think (considering we aren't getting anything that hasn't been rumored or promised for years) someone would have seen it coming, herd about it or saw pre-pro pics at some point.

It's probably just a mistake on Hasbro's part. I remember when they released the comic pack General Flagg in G.I. Joe, they gave him the filecard and stuff of his son...

Never really cared for Nuke, personal feelings aside, a custom in this scale will be very hard. Really just the face, trying to fit all 13 stripes will likely cause a more pinkish look than striping, and the stars would muddy up the blue. Honestly I don't see this coming out well in this scale, you can find some well done customs of Nuke in 6" scale, but those heads are much easier to work with I imagine. I'm not a customizer at all, but I still thought I'd contribute.

Marvel Infinite wave 2.... Deaths Head is described as Deaths Head II on the case pack assortment manifest. This is the EXACT same wave 2 figure just repacked in wave 4.

Sorry.

You want Dormammu? Have you checked out my custom parts store Vortious Custom Accessories? I have a kit on there that has the head, and armor to make him on the Baron Zemo figure.

The Dark One

So my buddy Ukmu told me the other day that you guys have been asking about me, and what kind of stuff I bring to the table through my casting store well the first thing we'll do is fix the MI figures:

First let's fix Hulk:

What's wrong w/ him? His arm bracers are too soft, and therefore too loose, and they just fall off:

Stop on by VCA, and grab a set of Monster's arm bracers, and the ones I make will hold their positioning:


How about the Ares that just came out? Great that they finally made him right? Too bad he's got the wrong sword (mine doesn't even hold his sword right), the helmet isn't removable, and he doesn't have his leather banding on his left arm. Mine even had a bad application of the face shadow:

So grab the simplified War god upgrade kit:

Paint his eyes white w/ some pupils if you'd like. Then just paint his hair, and helmet, and voila he ready for battle


Now how about Mr. Pym? No antennas on his helmet, and it doesn't come off. How's he gonna kiss Janet if he can't get his helmet off? Huh? He isn't.

first let's fix the need to remove his helmet, by either grabbing the MC Bug Guy set on my site, or getting a Dollar General GI Joe Duke, and then if you got Duke instead of ordering the MC Bug Guy set you still need a helmet. So grab the MC Bug Guy helmet.


Problem solved

All fixed

Well like I said Ukmu told me that some of you guys had been asking about my site, and that I should pop over here more often. So even though I do have a thread in the Customs General Discussion subforum I figured I'd put this out here for you guys. Also as you can see the painting on these upgrades is minimal. I have all sort of energy effects, and other items that can be used by both customizers, and non customizers who just want to enhance their displays some alike. I even have a WWH sword that the WWH figure can actually hold.

As Nex said BBTS. I preordered them, and they arrived yesterday.

As for the clear Electro hands all you have to do is order the open hands, and ask for them in clear yellow.

Nerd Rage Toys has both Aires and Deathlock for 11 each. $28 total with shipping. Boosh!

[Nexodusrex]

Hey Vort, do you paint your orders on request? I'd love to get a couple things but I suuuuuuuuuuuuck at painting.

He farms that out to someone who is excellent at it. I mean really, really good. And for a reasonable price.

Painting By

I don't know why I don't take advantage of this sometime. I'm decent at it, but sloooooow.

Edit: He only does heads. I did not realize that, but still that can be a big deal.

[RodimusVTS]

Thanks for fielding that John, yeah Nex like Psycho Pirate posted I have Symbiote from over on MUCC do my painting. It's $10 a piece, and the man is really one of the best, if not the very best figure painter who's work I've ever seen. I mean here's the Maestro kit from my site all painted up by him (you'd have to attach the helmets, and other trophies to your own spare WWH figure once you got the painted head, cape, shields, hammer, and helmets, and then either paint the legs, or switch out legs that are close like the brown Juggy's legs)

[ukmu]

Thanks Vort!!!! Great stuff, highest quality, can cast in flame effect, gold and silver!!! Best caster out there in my opinion. Customer service is TOP SHELF,and he works very hard at making you happy and is ALWAYS pushing the envelope with constant research and development.

Yeah his painter is top ten in our Marvel 3.75" world!!! Cheap too, and from what I've heard, really fast turn around time.

Man those upgrades look nice. Love the Ares as I am sure most will be getting that one, and my favourite is the AntMan removable helmet!!! With antennae!!! Fuh-git abowwt it!!! Top notch stuff!

I also see WB collect has the wave.four single pre-orders up!! $15 for Ionic Wonder Man shipped!!!!!! I am.sure that won't last too long mates, as they will be eating case after case after case of GotG single carded figures. Be a good chance to grab Deaths Head too if you missed this round.

Looking forward to wave 5 discussion from San Diego next month. Wave 2 just came out, most of the pre-order wave 3 has yet to show up at people's door, wave 4 pre-order JUST went up today and here I am talking about wave 5!!!!! Some nerve.

I've had a pre-order sitting since April and they still say they're not in yet. The site still has "pre-order" listed for both the case and the half-case.

Same. I rarely keep preorders with them for this reason... they lag so much that I usually just end up sourcing the figures elsewhere.

Dang that sucks, mine came in and the ironic part was I was about to cancel it the previous day and wait till HTS got them cause I wanted to get the free shipping. I don't like how they charge you the shipping right off the bat when it's suppose to be a POL. How do they know exactly what to charge you if you keep piling it up. That's why if I can I'll preorder my TF's from TFSource for the free shipping at least. Anyways I'll just wait until my XML Cyke and Stryfe to drop and then ship the entire loot.

[soundwavempl]

I was able to see MI wave 3 in person yesterday at my local comic book shop (I guess Diamond shipped them out this past week). They are pretty cool but at $13.99 each, I can wait. Probably get a wave 2 case and the wave 3 and 4 sets to get all of them at once. I'll get 2 Death's Heads but I wanted 2 of him anyways.

[rea1180]

I just got a lot of MU I ordered, today. I'm not a big fan of the character Blade, that and his face sculpt is why I passed on him so many times at retail. But now that he is in hand WOW, what a great figure. One of the best in the line. Also got a few others including Prof X, looks great in his Hoveround.

Blade is great, just watching the first two movies gives you enough to get a feel for Blade and his world (just don't watch the third movie), still good that you like the toy. Also really like Professor X, possibly one of my favorites since they actually made him and went with his coolest chair. Wish Hasbro would redistribute Blade and some other high after-market price figures, NECA just redistributed some Pacific Rim figures purely because they listened to fans and noticed high after-market prices, why can't Hasbro try to do that.

You all are probably right, no DH2. I think he would be easy to make, just paint colossus' body blue and do a new head sculpt (I'm looking at you rodimus).

Chuck is one of my favs, I mean his hover chair actually looks like it floats and he completes some teams.
