Anyway back to the point he does live local to me about 15 minutes drive near my inlaws but there wasn't anytime that he gave me his address or phone number. We were meant to meet in a local supermarket about 3 of 4 times and instead of messaging on here back and forth i gave him my phone number for ease, i always thought it weird that when we were meant to meet i never got a text or phone call, he'd just PM on here and give an excuse of not being able to meet. Obviously he didn't want me to have his number. So everything that's going on around here seems to be stacking up, but what i cant understand is why someone who i would say was the most interactive on here, as in posted the most comments on threads (i think if remember he was up to about 2500) can go total silent and mess with you guys on trades. Seems very strange to the point don't you guys think something serious has happened like he is has passed away or seriously ill or something?? I know it sounds bad to say but that would explain things, but i don't suppose it would explain how he was not wanting me to have his number. Sorry i cant help any further fellas, unless you can think of something i can't seeing as i live so local to him, let me know.

Note to self - must learn to read rest of thread before replying to thread, apologies UKMU sorry for your loss.

$13.50 each or $78 for the set

And this is why I don't like those cards, even makes the figures look cheaper :P

Well its finally happening the house we have found is all ready to go, looks like I will be moving in a few weeks to bigger and better (SPACE WISE)

[Kamatayan]

My displays are really messy as of now. How the hell do you get that stupid weapon in the frost giant's hand?!

[Universe]

I so regret not getting that MK throne room; even when it was on clearance for $30 a few years back. Nice setup, Kamatayan. As far as the wep goes; is it hard to get in the hand, use a hair dryer for about 15 seconds on the hand and should pop right in. If it's too loose; use a little wood putty on the inside and should stay nicely.

Dammit I don't have access to a hair dryer xD I got it for $25 on Amazon. It's probably the coolest thing I own xD

[Kamatayan]

What Masters of Evil are in this scale? I have Zemo, Tigershark, Radioactive Man, Crimson Dynamo, Ionic Wonderman, and the Grim Reaper. On a side note, I absolutely HATE the 3 pack Zemo's hands. Does the single carded version fix that problem?

[Jay West]

Did I see scarlet spider on the back of a card? Is he is the new wave?

Not at first, but I am fairly sure they updated the sword handle in the revision waves that made it actually sit in his hand.

If you don't have access to a hair dyer just put a coffee cup with water in the Microwave for about 2 mins and then soak the hand long enough for it to become flexible.

Not all of them. There was a second run that did.

I heard this but I'm kind of skeptical. Don't wanna ruin my figure hand lol

EDIT: Nevermind. It worked. Thanks, Kdub!

My only knowledge of their roster is from the EMH Cartoon, so that's my frame of reference. I know Enchantress was in a two-pack a while back, and we did get an Abomination...

[En Sabah Nerd]

I have to use clear rubber bands, the kind that are used to help toys hold accessories in the box, to get Zemo to hold his sword and gun. The sword holds terrifically and the gun looks like he's about to toss it off.

[Kamatayan]

Can someone link me to good flight stands for this scale. I have a lot of figures that would look a lot better in my collection in flight poses.

Zemo
Enchantress
Radioactive Man
Klaw
Whirlwind
Tiger Shark
Absorbing Man
Wrecking Crew (all 4)
Black Knight
Wonder Man
Scorpion
Shocker
Abomination (EMH show only)

[Psycho Pirate]

Also, the Grim Reaper was in the Lethal Legion, but not the Masters of Evil.

Truth. I've been using the flight stands you can get from Mattel for their figures, but I'd much rather have ones better-suited to these figures. Or ones that don't look like giant opaque white clamps.

We've also got Ultron, and Doc Ock, & Whiplash
Comics wise.

Other Universes, we've got Dr Doom, Leader, Crossbones, Bullseye, Loki, Destroyer, Mandarin, MODOK, & Mysterio.

Make yourself a custom Executioner, we're not getting the MU one any time soon. Samsson knows a guy who makes an amazing one, I'm sure he's still taking commissions.

[Kamatayan]

Anyone have the classic Thor cape I need?

[Kamatayan]

Do you guys ever wonder if people like David Vonner ever mod their figures and get some unofficial stuff or do they have to remain company purists.

[Kamatayan]

Holy crap, guys. If this description is true, then these should scale decently with MU's. Lot 6 x New Star Lord Gamora Guardians of The Galaxy Groot Rocket Action Figures | eBay

The light in the middle of the chest remind me of a batman knock off I got a few years back. Hopefully they don't have the same toxic death smell he had

Sorry I was out of town and tend not to post when I'm gone, I just lurked during the blow up. What we have here is a failure to communicate! (Old movie line before most of your times and before mine).

With these things I find the truth usually lays somewhere in between, usually it's just a misunderstanding/ communication issue from what I learned in the MGMT turncoat courses I take for work. My condolences to ukmu for your loss, it makes pieces of plastic sound pretty trivial.
I think there is/was a concern among some arkers (and members on another board) that had sent him some stuff, but it sounds like ukmu just hadn't gotten around yet to fulfilling his end of the deals.
When raf had his vision give away contest ukmu won, I was runner up. He offered to send me a 2nd place full color Vision sketch. I told him he should sell it and make some money (which you can still do as I know you have a lot on your plate ukmu), but he told me he wanted me to have it which I thought was cool. He asked me to send him some figures so I hooked him up. He's told me to expect the sketch in the mail a few times over the last 2 years or so, but I haven't gotten it yet. He asked for some more figures so I bought them but told him a long time ago that I would send them after I got that beautiful sketch. If that makes me small so be it. I technically did not have a deal in place so it's not my place to criticize (and far be it from me to complain about not getting something that was being done in good will).
For the most part I have had some great trades/deals with arkers, but there are also some flakes on here just like anywhere else. I think red flags get raised when someone says they are going to send something and it doesn't happen or takes an incredibly long time. That seems reasonable, but hopefully all of this gets resolved. I'm sure ukmu will and had every intention of making good on his deals.



As for nycc, there wasn't a single new reveal? That stinks.
