Pilkster just shared with me a few pictures of the heads I ordered from; this guy makes good heads, folks. From what I see; he has my recommendation. He even did a special request on an Agent Venom head:

Wow then you guys are ahead of us in restocking new stuff.
We still have the previous waves of Sandman etc.

[UrsaMagnus]

We don't even have that. It's all Guardians, all the time here.

*sigh*

Consider Photos DUMPED!!!

















I have loads more, but I gotta save something for tomorrow!

[UrsaMagnus]

So, so very much awesome.

[ukmu]

Lot of talent here

Great pics Universe, and not in thumbnails either, colour me impressed.

Great pics everyone, keep 'em coming if you got 'em!

Pilks heads look ACE!!!! I put in for four Kree and a Dum Dum myself!!!

[IcantBseriouS]

I HAVE WON CABLE! LOL I scored one @ 1am for $11. Now I only need 2-3 more for customs. Sill nice to finally get that figure.

[Universe]

K Dub; we're not worthy, we're not worthy!

Seriously, nice action shots and diorama display. I think I saw your YouTube video of your display a while back and was so inspired. I love your style of presentation, action shots and themes you put into each section. Oh, and sweet Stan Lee custom; he must be shouting "Excelsior!" from that rooftop. So, so very much awesome, indeed.

It's like that other company that does it, I forgot the name. Seems cool...

I have, got the first and second box, just waiting to be charged for the third box, well worth the money especially if you are in the US

Did you not order it then, mine worked out £28 shipped with no customs charge, i think that is pretty cheap for what you get.

I'm also looking to get these guys eventually - 4 more off of the EMH villain list.

I got the first one but I get hit on Customs everytime, I get so much stuff in that I think the customs guys are hot on my address so it worked out at £40 including the charges which is too much for what it is

[K Dubious]

Thanks for the compliments gang. I wanted to start off with some of my original posts and that Skrull pic was actually the first photo I ever uploaded. Here are some more customs and pics, I hope you enjoy them.

[Pilkster]

Awesome pics dude, what body was used for the Groot figure?

[Universe]

Nice customs, K dub; who is the guy with the colossus arms in the first pic with the hydra goons?

[K Dubious]

I used an AIM soldier from CA:TWS

I wish I knew that Starlord would eventually be released, but I have had this custom since way before the GoTG movie. Plus it was my first foray into fully sculpting a figure, and while I am pleased with Groot, I realized it is not as easy as I thought it would be.

Both CyttoraksCousin and I were working on Groots at the same time.

This one is his


The Colossus arms are on my custom Cyber

[samsson37]

K Dub you inspired me to show some of the new guys some of mine. Giving the Villains some love. We may never see some of these guys :-(

[K Dubious]

I know I painted your Goliath in the first pic, but the way you have posed him he has such a menacing stare, he looks sooo evil.

I almost posted my one Titania pic, I really like how she came out, one the cleanest customs I have made.

Actually kind sir...The Titiana, is you, The Powerman, and The pic of Batroc, is either the one you did and then I asked you to do mine or its the pic of mine before..you sent it. ;-)
"mine"= own :-)
Don't have the skill to paint figs. Dio's not to shabby

[K Dubious]

When it comes to trades and deals I have probably dealt with UKMU more than anyone on the board, but when it comes to customs I have made more for Samsson.

Samsson, I know you and your boy play with them, but it would be awesome to see your stuff all together. I think for someone that does not paint figs, you might have more customs than most TA members.

MY personal favorites of his collection are the U Foes, with Vector being the standout. His favorite might be MUTHA FREAKING SKURGE!!!! I only painted his Goliath, Batroc, Titania, and Purpleman the others are from some super talented people!

I'd like to just pop up here and say only about a 6th of my collection is as Hasbro made it, everyone else is kitbashed, painted, cast, or otherwise customised in some way.
Be it a simple head swap, full on kitbash of all parts, full repaint, or sculpt of details, everyone's got something that makes them unique to my collection.

[ukmu]

I actually used to be anti custom! Unless it looked like the ones the super pros do and charge 100+ dollars for. I was a snob I guess, it HAD to better than factory at close close inspection. I have relaxed a bit and I am gun shy to fully sculpt something, even though I do it for a living!!! I guess it is the scale that intimidates me. If it a thirty foot tall statue I would jump right in. That is easy, when it is small there is no room for error. A small miss equals a huge miss in a tiny scale. Need to just go for it I guess.

[samsson37]

I would say, I go for the more obscure villains for my customs. Not to many have ORKA, The Ufoes, M'baku, Living Laser, Titiana,Powerman, MUTHA FREAKIN SKURGE even Batroc thanks to Kdub add in Purpleman and Ronan....and I would say I went left while most went right on who to pick as characters to have customs made of. My original plan was to get all the bigger characters made, like Ulik and Puffadder...using the Hulk/ Abomb mold. But as I have stated I kind of have gotten bored and beefed up my Joe collection as of late..before its said and done I'll def have Puffadder in the ranks with Viper and Constrictor
