I need more like the whole left arm, I might have to track down a cheap Doom or Ultron seen as they're the same buck.
Your willingness to de-hand a Doom was most selfless of you, kind sir. Thank you for the offer

That invisible woman is fugly beyond reason, it kinda reminds me of the deadite corpse Linda from Evil Dead II.

That is such a disturbing looking figure. Could someone please send their Deadpool or Bullseye to put that piece of plastic out of its misery.
UKMU I knew that would get your dandruff up...

Yes, I had told Shawn Woodbeck to tell you that I had found them but I guess he forgot.

kylactus · 04-12-2015, 07:16 PM

congrats on being debt free Raf! if you decide to got to Nashville to do the Dave Ramsey thing you can crash at my place. Personally I've always found Debt to be like Michael Myers, sure I can get rid of it time to time for a while... but it just comes back over and over again! P.S. you need to let me borrow the magic box you keep pulling MOC Visions out of.

also, has anyone else noticed that the MI rocket raccoon seems to sell out rather quickly, but the three pack (which I believe was 9.99 at discount stores) shelf warmed forever.

Kernel · 04-12-2015, 07:33 PM

^ I noticed that too. I snagged a few extras GOTG packs at Ross for $10 and sent them to other arkers. Single carded rocket racoon actually seemed to sell pretty well here (except for my LCS that wanted like $25 or something stoopid for him).
Loving the pics guys keep them coming!

That... That might actually have topped the Roger Corman film in how wtf it would have been.

Also, does anyone have a spare left arm for Dr Doom? Mines hand snapped off and I don't much care for a dictator with a superglued wrist.

i had that happen here and there, dremel out the peg and replace it with a screw....

Excellent idea, I'll get on that today.

There's something up with Doom's plastic; when I superglued the hand and upper arm, the glue made the problem worse and the joint snapped completely. Anyone else found that?

That's awesome. Yeah I stopped using FB for quite a while so I haven't been in touch with him but I got a new one now. If you ever need to let them go you know who to call

(not that there aren't a ton of other people that want them

)

not specifically...but superglue might fuck with the integrity of the plastic, did it seem gummy? ive had superglue problems before and it made some of the surrounding plastic gummy

Saying that, it did. Maybe it's a Hasbro thing to make us buy new figures instead of fixing them

Law78 · 04-13-2015, 04:51 AM

Since we are on photo appreciation, thought id post a few of my 1st attempt at a diorama set up, any thoughts appreciated. Ive since opened the cable and colossus on the bottom photo and added a Jim Lee Cyclops

SaintVeronika · 04-13-2015, 06:36 AM

i have that new beast and 10 dollar knock off baf groot from ebay, anyone got advice on how to add center torso joints? if hasbro is gonna drop the ball its best to figure this out now....

ukmu · 04-13-2015, 08:24 AM

Custom Action Figure Tutorials

same therory...be it wrists, thigh or torso swivels.

For the larger baf KO Groot, I would suggest using the magnet technique. Follow this (and ALL the tips there) like a recipe and can't fail. Practice on a garage sale toy or really cheap something or other FIRST!!!! That way you don't ruin your Groot while "learning."

For Beast the fix is simple and as follows:

step #1: chuck rubbish figure
step #2: buy SHS version

done! Upgraded in two easy steps.
