I noticed that as well. It's too bad. The ML one is a little bit shorter than the Select one and it comes with a small Ant-Man that's even smaller than the short one here. But there's one problem...

The helmet is open!

This is all I did: Movie Bucky figure and a Star-Lord. Paint accordingly. I'm sure there are others who can (and have) done a much better job than I. Mine is quick and easy.

That's awesome! Here's a picture so that people who aren't familiar with the character can get a general idea of what Jack Flag looks like.

Sweet idea and custom, UrsaMagnus

Why do people pay so much just to get them earlier? Is it a bragging rights thing? I'd rather wait a few weeks if it meant getting them $15.00 tops at TRU or something.

That is a cool stack! Before busting out paint brushes to do the very difficult and very unforgiving straight line piping, try a silver Sharpie. Also, silver gel pens or fine tipped paint markers should do. Unless you're Von Dutch, pinstripping (even more so at the 3.75" level) is almost impossible to pull off.

Let's see some Lady Deadpool pics already!!

The new wave is out already and on shelves in some places. Region 4 always gets them 4-6 weeks before Region 1. Not long now....

As to why some buy first is because collectors can't wait. It is plastic crack by nature. Drug addicts don't save up and get it at a better rate after the weekend!

also, there is no guarantee that you will see said wave in the wild. All of my local supermarkets (4 in total within a 6 mile radius) are bursting with the Shanna wave! I am hoping other people buy them up so I can get the new new wave soon.

it looks like right now every store here will be skipping that wave for the new one since they haven't restocked anything in a while
Hasbrotoyshop still has them

Select is in 7" scale while Legends is 6", this is why select Venom towers over a legends Anti-Venom. After seeing the movie I really want an Ant-man so I'll be going with Select over Legends just because the helmet on the legends is so wrong. Then I'll put the little version he comes with in my MU setup.

It wasn't that difficult when I did mine, nor unforgiving because it rubbed off.

IcantBseriouS · 08-15-2015, 07:52 AM

I saw someone post about links for casters and such. Not saying who to use but I have come across these over time.I have used Vort & the Angel Forge before. Also got my X-Force Nightcrawler & 2 Hyperions from Chinabay. Pix up later

As much as I want to, I don't think I'm ready to customize figures like that. For now, I'll guess I'll have to live with that. And hey, it's much better than an open helmet!

As for Lady Deadpool, I'll try to get something up today!

Universe · 08-15-2015, 02:51 PM

Slow day on this thread; needless photo bomb of some more of my muse:

IcantBseriouS · 08-15-2015, 03:01 PM

I dig the shit outta that Crossbones. Crossbones is one of those characters that just needed to be customized. I 1st put him on a base GI Joe Retaliation Roadblock, but that wasn't doing it. Currently working on a new combo, just waiting for the parts to become a less stupid price on ebay. That's kinda how my customs go. I start something need a part & play the waiting game. I've started just trying to grab and MU or GI Joe lot for a good price. Use what I use & flip the rest. Made about $300 doing that last winter lol. Picked up an Ironman/Mandarin MU Comic pack @ TJ Maxx today. It's the red Mandarin which I can't stand. Thinking about throwing that head on a SDCC Destro for the Marvel Now style or purchasing a At Worlds End Sao Feng figure. WHat do you folks think?

I'm thinking of getting that Sao Feng for Wong. If you have a Destro, do it. But it's an incredibly expensive figure if you don't.

IcantBseriouS · 08-15-2015, 04:17 PM

I picked up the whole sdcc destro set like a year ago cheap. I'll have to do the swap & see how it looks.

K Dubious · 08-15-2015, 04:31 PM

Happy with my $50 finds today. I just wish I could have found the rest of the ultimates. Oh well gives me something to look for.

Universe · 08-15-2015, 05:15 PM

What a steal, K Dub!

I think the MU version of The Vision just went up, again.

I really think that Northstar and Colosonaught are ghosts. They say yes, but the waves look pretty full and busy already. Something will have to be pushed back.

Two Packs return, cool... but how much each?

what mu version went up considering people can wait for this new one?

IcantBseriouS · 08-15-2015, 06:02 PM

Is there any site that has like all of the MI SDCC pics? I seriously have just seen this Morbius for the 1st time, I'll now just gather the parts to replace that shit body. I seriously find myself just buying these new figures for the heads & gear. These new solid bodies are pretty crap. Not so bad on some of the ladies, but for example that new large male buck that's on Thunderstrike & Bishop is so bad it make me like the old DD buck.

SDCC 2015

Universe · 08-15-2015, 06:58 PM

IcantBseriouS, yeah I do the same thing nowadays with the heads and gear.

Crossbones: Welcome back from the dead, Rogers.

Tony: I don't know how Steve; how he got past my security...

Commander Rogers: Why don't you stick that knife in me, son. Let the playboy go

Dag frickin' nabbit why can't I find this? This and TMNT's Stockman Fly continue to elude me.
