Yeah Spider-Man is all Big Time now haha

They should have given him Spiderman's mask to wear. His face, just look at that face (especially on the cartoon.) His face made me want to punch him. Even though I'm not a violent person, really.

he's the Transformers equivalent of Starfox or Longshot for me. Yeah you know they were a part of it, but you don't have to like them any.

That hydra agent looks pretty cool. I'll have to try and snag one of those. What kind of stands are those?

Autobot_Goldbug · 09-23-2014, 07:46 PM

What a surprise my Target restocked wave 1! I'm not entirely disappointed. At least they are restocking in a timely manner now.

you know, I have NO idea! I got them in a bulk buy of Joes.

Iceman · 09-23-2014, 09:25 PM

I was going through figures I am getting rid of and fodder when an idea stuck me for AA Red Skull. I already put his head on Cap 2 Red Skull because I that body looks better. Of course Cap 2 Red Skull doesn't have articulated wrists so I thought maybe I would give him an upgrade but then I decided to try it on Fury instead. It's always annoyed me that the figure couldn't hold a rifle.

Swapping the forearms fixed this problem even if it's not an exact match for the coat.

At least he can hold his guns now and swapping out for different hands would be easy if I wanted to.

Also, while doing this I realized there is a now a perfect way to give wrist articulation to my Ultimate Thor figure. Only problem is that it requires I take the forearms from an Ares

I didn't know Schmidt had a drinking problem. Did Helmut Zemo and Strucker hold an intervention for him?

those stands are *MOST LIKELY* pro-tech.... I have several and they are nice. And stay away from those HYDRA agents.... I want them all!!!

Those are the ones we army build...they are hard as hell to find at times. If you didnt know, they come from the Captain America The First Avenger movie line, this one is called HYDRA ATTACK TROOPER #15 comic colour variant, the other variant is HYDRA ARMOURED SOLDIER #12 comic colour variant he has a brown chest harness and slightly different head. #15 is the way to go. We have (puts hand over mouth to muffle the sound when he speaks the number) of them already. Always looking for more GREAT trades and cash available (shameless plug) holla....

Specter · 09-24-2014, 06:44 AM

Man been catching up on Ultimate Spiderman, really wish Hasbro would have made White Tiger in MU.

That's exactly what they are, ProTech is the name on the bottom. They were all at work, I have maybe a dozen of them I use for my rotating setup here.

K Dubious · 09-24-2014, 12:25 PM

This is probably not the finished product, but I am pleased with it for now. I want to use two WW Hulk straps so that he has matching shoulder pads, but this extra Skaar webbing works in the mean time for my custom Korg.

samsson37 · 09-24-2014, 01:02 PM

Sweet Kdub !! ...Hey guys I just watched the Ultimate Spider man new season up to the Miles episode...soooo its got me kind of wanting a Miles fig now... how is that figure is he shorter than the reg Spiderman and anybody got a extra ??

Rattrap Primal · 09-24-2014, 02:16 PM

Valkryie/ Sword Girl just came in, and she didn't break when I opened her (unlike Red She Hulk)

Ninjinister · 09-24-2014, 07:42 PM

I just got the Multiverse Penguin and man there is a lot on this figure that I could farm for Marvel customs (and more!) I'm gonna have either buy like 20 of him or hope one of our custom caster friends put his stuff in the mix. I'm especially glad to see a decent top hat in this scale.

fosterlager · 09-24-2014, 08:06 PM

I'm having trouble thinking of any Marvel characters that would don a top hat, hmm

after your latest plans for global domination end in another ass kicking wouldn't you also turn to alcohol to help ease the physical and emotional damage.

Dr Bubble has like a bowler hat, not really a top hat. If you count a stovepipe as a top hat, then Zombie Abraham Lincoln wears one.

Yeah if we're going to get into bowler hats, there's always Dum Dum Dugan before we get to Dr. Mindbubble.

I'm not just talking about the top hat, though, even though that's the part I'm most excited about. It's his physique too. I can't think of any figure in this scale that's chubby/pudgy like him. You obviously couldn't make a decent Blob outta Penguin, but shoot, you could do Goldballs or Don Meland.

The name goldballs is more than enough to get me to go wiki the guy.

ha ha I had to look that one up too. Never heard of him b4.
"His mutant power appears to revolve around strange bouncing balls that he expels from his body."

Maybe you could use that penguin body for a kingpin if you swapped the arms and legs. I hope hasbro makes a kingpin.

Ninjinister · 09-25-2014, 08:42 PM

According to Future Deadpool, he's a legend in the time he's from.

I dunno about Kingpin... he's quite a bit bigger than that. Smaller than Blob, but bigger than Penguin.
