I used an Xacto Knife.

Thanks for the comments @ukmu but similar work could be done with any high megapixel point and shoot camera.

My camera is a Canon 6D DSLR with a EF 24-70mm F2.8 L lens.

Got our first haul of the year...... drum roll..... HYDRA troops. 34 and counting. It isn't fun receiving a package when it is army builders. Just check them out for defect and re-bag them and Chuck into the box. What an expensive way to be fully unsatisfied. Only 16 to go to 50 though. So, there's that.

Don't I know it! I'm honestly surprised I still have all 10 with all the "accidents" I've had over the years. Might have some unique fingerprints at this point though so that's kinda cool I guess. I need to invest in a better work space and tools for sure.

Best thing to have on your workspace if you cut your finger is superglue. Has worked wonders for me and my accidents

If anyone is interested, I'm considering selling my Giant Battles Frost Giant and Giant Skrull along with an MU Skrull, and Avengers Movie Skrull, and four of the Thor Frost Giants. PM me if interested. I might make an eBay listing soon with it too.

I do not know if it is true or not, but I have heard war stories about people being banned from their store after cancelling pre-orders. Take that for what it is worth. I personally have not experienced that, but I can't recall ever cancelling with them.

Every reseller has occasional issues of allocations with orders that were under-filled by their distributor. That's just life. But if the product is readily available elsewhere and it is clear you got passed over by them, or if you have another compelling reason, I would suggest sending them an e-mail first to discuss cancelling.

I keep getting told that but I've yet to try it. I remember Banner doing that in Incredible Hulk.

Superglue was actually created for medical use.

And Silly Putty was originally made with the intention of easy to use and then remove or reshape adhesive for astronauts and other space operations, instead we got a toy out of it. Go science! Except for gamma radiation which apparently turns you into a big green monster if it doesn't outright kill you.

The Hydra initiative - one agent per state. Until they start dying, then the numbers grow exponentially.

Well it's not actually exponential but yeah your point still stands.

Added Emma Frost to my MU display. Only sad thing is I broke the thumb off of my Cable, so he's down for the count until I can fix it. Also lost Gambit's staff, so had to make do. LOL. The only MU I really need that I'm still missing is Nightcrawler; can live without the rest. And I'm really happy that I found a decent pose for MU Jean Grey that doesn't make her neck look too short... took me years. LOL.
