Yeah the Tron stripe Widow is just a repaint of the first Avengers movie toy but obviously with blue Tron stripes now and no SHIELD decals. It is from the TRU 2 pack and I'd say it's worth it if you want a good Black Widow toy, the Cap'n it comes with is either custom fodder or a not-bad Commander Rogers figure but the Widow is pretty cool and the main reason to get that pack.

Love the new HYDRA look K Dub. I perhaps would have posed them with a different outcome.

We are getting the figures out tonight (after what feels like forever) and I will take a few shots to share. I think an A.I.M. update with the baf MODOK is in order. Still have two A.I.M. spealists in the works so I will just pose them in a vehicle maybe.

I am still in dire need of a single baf MANDROID in the future. That will finish of the S.H.I.E.L.D. army once and for all. Let's see what other baf's.... You absolutely cannot beat the GIANTMAN from TotBiz. One of the greatest pieces of plastic mankind has ever created.

The Groot is nice. I went with the recently released ENTERTAINMENT EARTH version of the baf because of his classic, non cinematic head sculpt. Kit bash that onto a ML Starlord and you have the direction we went for. Still in progress as he is a Christmas present. I still have , and really enjoy, the BRANCH BASH 5" Groot as a great and affordable Groot option.

There are many others that may or may not work. Depends on if your ok with their look. It, like all things, boils down to money. Want to pay $100 for a custom 3.75" Arnim Zola or use the ML one? Do you want the the really nice super tall GIANTMAN from TB or the new ML version from Hasbro? If you have the time and skills do you take on the Ironman MODOK or get the baf at a decent price when you find a bargain?

Did you ever finish building your custom?
And I just got the BAT and printed out a Movie Zola screen for it, inspired by he who I have forgotten (I want to say it was Samsson)

These are my current display Widows. L-R they are displayed (in my collection) with the Avengers (comic), SHIELD agents, movie Avengers, SHIELD Agents, and Champions. Everything is a kitbash/headswap/custom except the movie Widow. #1 is my favorite - Avengers Assemble Widow head on the Light Up Base Widow body.

UrsaMagnus · 10-23-2015, 12:57 PM

I agree, that AA Widow head on that light-up base body looks fantastic. Almost makes me wish I hadn't sacrificed my light-up base Widow's body to make Darkstar.

K Dubious · 10-23-2015, 01:01 PM

Her and Cloak are the only "Blank" bodies. It is actually nice to have a clean slate to work with!

I'd class Daredevil as a blank body, he's only got the Ds

K Dubious · 10-23-2015, 01:25 PM

Yeah the Cyclops Buck DD just has a dark wash and some D's, lol.

I was just saying how the TRU Widow and Cloak have no paint app at all. Just blank black bodies.

samsson37 · 10-23-2015, 01:51 PM

Thanks for remembering me jedirulz123.....on the Zola

I'd have thought black to be a hard colour to paint over, in my experience at least

Ah, your genius idea saved me a lot of money on the Zola front

I've never heard of this variant of Goliath. Marvel Universe Giant Man Goliath Gigantic Battles Legends Blue Yellow Variant | eBay

Yeah I may pick up some of those DD/bullseye 2 packs for fodder. I may use bullseyes body for morbius as I think I like the headsculpt but I'm not a fan of that new buck they are using for the living vampire. As for DD, This may be the only time in my life I'm talking about getting rid of a double D chest.

Description says he painted the goggles and belt (Dumb move IMO, figures too rare for that especially if your just gonna sell it?), but if you are referring to the Yellow/Blue Goliath it is the last MU piece I'm still hunting for...whispers put him on the straw poll

MUfan97 · 10-23-2015, 04:22 PM

My birthday is in about 2 weeks, which means Amazon giftcards around my house(not that I mind. Good 3 3/4 inch figures typically sell for decent prices around there). I did a search for loose Marvel Universe figures, and spotted a Kang bouncing around there for $3.99 and $4.something shipping. It's in acceptable condition, so should I jump on it if it's still there when I can pay for it? There's also a Commander Steve Rogers that is only missing that huge machine gun at a similar price from the same seller with the same deal going on when it comes to price.

Oof X-23 body does not work for Yelena.
Could the midriff torso part work with the rest of a blue suit Black Widow?

Thanks I've worked really hard on making sure it's complete. If anyone notices that I'm missing anything let me know and I'll be sure to add it.

That includes MU compatible figures from other lines lines like Marvel Legends or any other Marvel lines.

Actually, if you're fine with him being loose then I can put him on the list. MOC on him would be a little bit over board.

No, the torso halves don't play well together. You could probably shorten the legs, though.

7:07 am..... Getting out 7 tubs of figures, vehicles and play sets. Gonna be a good day!!! Expect some random pics later tonight.
