The reason for my speculation is that since AOU we've had a few nice MCU sets - 2 packs, Ant-Man with ant, Cap with bike and now Falcon. At the same time we've barely had 3 waves of our normal line. Granted we've had the comic packs as well.

I'd love the line to get back to its former glory, but a part of me would quite like a MCU line if it included the TV stuff - Kingpin, Jessica Jones, Coulson and Quake would be cool!

Yep, worked that out

been looking long and hard and figure it wouldn't be 'that; out of scale but would be really useful if someone with both could take a pic of MU Prof X in the movie chair. Or to put it into perspective, it's an expensive accessory to waste cash on if it clearly doesn't work.

That's my point, the lady that does the ordering at my local Walmart said she's not ordering legends until the back stock clears. There just putting out the cap wolf wave, and still have remnants of the ultranationalist wave. Within a 45 minute drive I can get all of the oden wave, hulk buster, onskullaut, absorbing man, and the spider girls from hobgoblin. Every Walgreens is packed with yellow DD ( I feel like that wouldn't be if it were shadowland) and black ants. Hell, target had a radioactive man set on the shelve two days ago! But 5 walmarts, 2 TRUs, 5 game stops, 3 targets, 3 krogers, 7 Walgreens, and 2 K marts and 2 B&N had the following, the new 2 packs ( tru, and target) everyone from the first 375 legends wave except BP ( tru, B&N) one damaged cap civil war bike set ( tru)8 Hyperions, 3 grim reapers (target) nothing at Walmart, not even a spot!

E bay has dog pool, lady d, champ and DP set from China for 13.99 for anyone who missed it.

I'm dying for a Milano in this scale. Do you think Hasbro will ever make one in this scale for GOTG Vol. 2, or any decent 3 3/4" MCU Guardians in this scale for that matter? They've done it with Ant-Man, a fairly obscure concept so I personally think it's possible that we'll get some decent Guardians figures, especially considering that they've absolutely skyrocketed in popularity ever since the movie dropped.

[snake5289]

Maybe they'll do a set of good Guardians figures for Vol. 2. I'm not going to hold my breath but it could happen.

Here is the one I made after trimming the ML version right down.

Without the modifications the 3.75 figures look tiny sitting in it. Looks more like they are riding a tractor lol

Don't know if these are knock off versions but they don't seem to have elbow/wrist/knee/ankle articulation.

That looks like it works nicely - how much work was needed to 'trim it down'? And is the ML wheelchair the same as the Movie version?

This is the movie ML wheel chair. I has to do away with the base of the chair which made it to high and buld my own. i had to cut the chair itself in half then take off about a centimeter from each side and put back together again. i then had to do the same for the foot stands and finally trim down the arm rests and shorted the hight too. so quite a bit of work went into it before filling in all the gaps with filler and sculpting the bits to make it look like it all fit together

Thanks for the info - sounds like a bit of a challenge. As for Vortious, if the quality is similar to his torso/arm/leg/hands/feet then I think I'd rather try to modify a Hasbro original.

Finally someone agrees with me about the quality of his products. His heads are great but I don't rate anything else.

If you get a chair I'm happy to do the work for a small fee

Nothing against Vortious personally and agree his heads are excellent. As for other body parts - ordered a full green female kit for a Gamora custom but arms and legs tore so assumed I was doing something wrong in putting them together. Fast Forward several months and a full blue female kit for Mystique - took my time, used the boil n pop method (in reverse) and still had splits in the limbs. Could cope with that (just) but not with the joints on one wrist, both feet and a shoulder shearing when I put it together. With unexpected Customs charges of over £11 that was getting on for £30 down the Karzi

Need to source a chair but definitely tempted by your offer. Whereabouts are you in the UK and what kind of cost/turn round time would I be looking at?

Hmm, I for appreciate the feedback. That plus the current reported turn around time for orders will save me money and heartache. Thanks guys.

Anyone have any feedback on Angry Nomad Cuctoms? I've seen some good feedback, but it was pretty old. Anyone order from him recently?

Eh, no thanks. She was overrated in that massively overrated Battlestar Galactica. I had to look up Brie Larson since I had no clue who she was, but I'd much prefer her to Sackhoff.
