What are those clear bases you are using?

here is a free tip Kernal......if he is a highly wanted figure, Hasbro wont make him!!!! No need for SDCC mate. Now you can get startwed!

check out at 3:30, better than the Batteler...

also cheap Chinabay Colosus and at least you can paint his left arm and pop him on Ares, so about the same cost as a cast head shipped and you get some fodder?

I feel you though....Deaths Head, Colosus, paint, a hood, a hammer.... looking at least $35+ and you have to do all the work! How cool would a factory Ronana set with some Kree be for an exclusive this year! Fat chance but still.....

@Zend...those llok to be ProTech stands, I love them!!!

EDIT:I just noticed that Terrax back there.....a closer look at him would be nice is that custom or that older 5" Fantastic Four figure?

ukmu · 03-21-2015, 12:44 PM

now THAT is proper......

I'm going back in 2-3 weeks I'll really dig through the shelves then. Anyway I modified the Ares & Goblin asa I got home. Just swapped out the cape & head from the 3.75" spider line. Ares has the holster from Deathlike & the belt is from Age of Thunder Thor. I'll prob hit up Vortuous for the arm & correct sword. It was a nice Bday present to score some new Marvel figs. I'll be 30 tomorrow can't believe I'm still playing toys

Eh I turn 26 in May and I've got some MU X-Men sitting on Amazon waiting for me to get some b-day $$$ to order them.

Great looking change-ups btw. That head looks way better on the MU Hobby.

Ha, jokes on you geriatrics, I just turned 16, so it's not so publically frowned upon for me to be playing with figures

IcantBseriouS · 03-21-2015, 01:14 PM

Yeah it looks bad when I'm blocking out a father & his 6 year old son so I can dig through toys on the shelves. That's why I like taking my daughter with me

one more useful advantage for having children. Daughter loves it too! I've turned her into a huge comic nerd, not many 4 year old girls can tell you about less mainstream comic book characters.

I think you mean "I'm looking for a birthday present for my brother/son"

That's correct. They are indeed ProTech stands obtained here.

It's the old FF 5" figure. I know he was never a member of the Annihilators, but he's my favorite Herald and I need to fill the void Ronan and Quasar leave somehow.

Zend · 03-21-2015, 02:19 PM

Thanks ukmu and Ursa, I'll be adding them to my shopping list.

I totally dig through pegs in front of parents with their kids. Half the time, their kids are standing in front of the good stuff being indecisive on what they want so I just say excuse me and nab what I'm there for and get out. No shame!

IcantBseriouS · 03-21-2015, 02:27 PM

Making this. I need these blades. I've looked at Spawn & Tortured Souls figures but the blade comes to far around. Any help? I plan on using ares as the base & having the GI Joe Dreadnok Doom Cycle as his bike. Taking some creative liberties but I think end product will look slick.

Surprisingly enough, Playmobil created a blue farm tool and a golden egyptian sword similar to them.

IcantBseriouS · 03-21-2015, 02:41 PM

Ok the the blue farm tool its pretty damn close! may have to pick up a set extend the handle just a bit & link them w/ a chain.

I've got a 3 year old niece and a nephew expected to be here in June/July so there's my excuse for any awkwardness someone may try to throw at me.

samsson37 · 03-21-2015, 04:35 PM

Have to glue a few things down but ya get the idea ..A.I.M Lab...complete..might add a LED light to the top.

Zend · 03-21-2015, 04:57 PM

Nevermind, they are indeed sculpted lines. Thinking about using Colossus' upper arms in a custom but those lines won't work with the character.

Was it by chance A to Z in Hershey?

That place is awesome, use to live in nova, tom is hella cool, met him at Balt comic con one year, been to his shop several times, always leave with a gem or two, miss it

Zend · 03-21-2015, 05:25 PM

If its the same A to Z toys that was at Richmond Comic Con back in September, I can confirm that the owner is awesome. Sold me a couple of hard to find ToyBiz Spider-Man figures for good prices. Do they have an online shop?

Jackieboy · 03-21-2015, 05:57 PM

IcantBseriouS · 03-21-2015, 06:07 PM

It was The Comic Book shop on Marsh Road in Wilmington DE. I live in Rising Sun Maryland. Could have got there faster if I went through the toll.

How far is Hershey? You should look it up, it's worth the drive, I've only been to one better all around toy store, and that was Kokomo toys, in IN

ukmu · 03-21-2015, 08:43 PM

I never knew the Terrax scaled so well! I have never seen a comparison pic and had read several times he just does not fit in. Wow, were they wrong. Looks great on the shelf.

Great pic Jackieboy, as always. Nice to see you around!

We were wanting to make it to the park Saturday and take a little HYDRA love outside but it never happened! Going on a picnic Sunday and we will have to ask Mama UKMU if we can bring some toys to shot. Mama UKMU is not a fan of action figures, in fact she hates them. I will have to strike a deal and eat her horrible potato salad and talk about vintage dresses for 45 minutes to have a chance at bringing them along..... The things we do for our toys.

ukmu · 03-21-2015, 08:52 PM

Oh and a huge BIRTHDAY shout out to our very own I can't B serious.

Hope you have many many many good years in the toy aisles mate!
