Yeah, thanks man. I took it w/ the iOS panoramic feature on my iphone 4S's camera. it's pretty flawless w/ stitching as long as your arm is steady while panning for the shot.

Bro, are you the one that took those patrick willis shots w/ the gauntlet? haha. if so, you got any more of those posted up somewhere? They're awesome. I posted one up on IG a couple months back, since i'm in niner country.

Yup that was me. I was going to post it again after the game but it wasn't the outcome I wanted. O well, great game and Super Bowl overall. Close game down to the wire between two great teams. Good to see ray Lewis retire the way he did. He's a great player with a lot of heart. Our qb Kap has got some more xp to get under his belt. promising future.

I got some pics in my showcase thread.

That Nighthawk is my suprise standout of this wave- he looks fantastic, has perfect paint apps and I really like the wings/cape he has- he really shows what can be done with the new MU buck.

Agreed. He also seems to be the cheapest!

Symbiote · 02-05-2013, 11:26 AM

Nighthawk is a great mold. I agree too. I don't know why they couldnt give angel the hinged neck. O why hasbro why.

Anybody find wave 20 mu (nova) at retail yet?

Very well done sir! I have been looking at building the same type of tier display system for a while ... you may have just broken my procrastination!

Actually the risers weren't that hard to build, they're just furring strips that I got got from Lowe's for .97 each. They came in 8' lengths, and my shelves were 4' each so I got 2 levels for each strip.

...in other news, I got this in the mail today

Here he is in his new home...

Anti venom looks reaLly nice in the set up with the other symbiotes!
Man, that's a wicked nice set up!

Th0r4z1n3 · 02-05-2013, 09:07 PM

Thanks for the compliments on my setup guys! I really need to get my office more organized so I can take more detailed pictures of my collection and update my Collection Thread(s).

I do wish they would release more of the Symbiote characters, but that's probably not going to happen given their relative obscurity. :/ I need to break down and order that Spider-Man set with the clear Carnage, I'm a sucker for translucent figures.

strongchad · 02-05-2013, 10:36 PM

Ugh, was in Target today and saw the new IM3 and Ultimate Spidey figures and wow...I shall be skipping both these lines. Price point was 5.99 and I wouldn't even pay half that for these. They're packaged like the Batman figures but even worse IMO.

Its just redeco after redeco of shoddy Spidey and IM figs with no articulate. Even the assemblers I saw were depressing.

In better news, got my BBTS order today of the Nighthawk wave and 3 new teampacks...and they are awesome!

behindthemask · 02-05-2013, 10:47 PM

I don't like calling people out, or doing this like this, but this is a message to ninjazapo,or anybody who knows him directly, I haven't received my package yet man!! It's been well over a month, and I can't contact you directly as your inbox is full , which is why I'm posting this, and I was never given an item # or tracking #.. wtf?

You get that from TJ Bang? I'm still waiting on mine, but then again mail service hates me for some reason.

No...... I went through a different route.

If it helps give you a time frame on shipping from Australia; mine shipped from Oz on the 19th, was scanned into an international sort facility in LA on the 24th, and didn't arrive in Ohio till the 4th.

Symbiote · 02-06-2013, 09:27 AM

Previously on X-Men

Finally. Completed my 90s X-Men Team. Love that feeling of completing a team. The 90 Jim Lee cartoon was what started it all for me.

The only reason why I bought Mojo.

There is a slight difference with Wolverine in this pack. They gave him hair on his arms.

Rage Mode

So glad to finally have Rogue. Been on the want list for forever. My fav out of the pack.

Remember this scene from X-Men

fosterlager · 02-06-2013, 10:16 AM

Rogue looks great. I can't wait to get her!

that is a great pic man! love the scarlett hair on jean.

Dragon Prime · 02-06-2013, 11:23 AM

Damn, I am jealous of that Jim Lee X-Men Team. What series is that yellow Wolverine from?

Anyway. It has been a while since I last posted. I have been focus more on my WWE collection in recent months. I did however come across the new 3pk with Red Hulk, IM, and Thor.

I mainly bought it for Red Hulk but I wasn't happy with the head sculpt so...

I gave him new hair, added a grin, and of course added more paint detail to the whole figure. Probably not my best work but I think it is a lot better than what Hasbro did.

skywarrped · 02-06-2013, 11:39 AM

X-cellent pics Symbiote!

Symbiote · 02-06-2013, 12:00 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm so stoked to finally complete this team. I do have other uncanny x men but these were the main players in the cartoon series.

@Dragon prime: wolverine was from those target two packs awhile back. He came with a black hand ninja.

I really like what you did with red hulk. I may try to resculpt the hair on mine too.

bmorr · 02-06-2013, 12:35 PM

you mightve forgot iceman, unless he wasnt on the team in the 90s. What about Angel/Archangel?

He's going for the 90's cartoon, which those two you mentioned were only guest characters.

Exodus · 02-06-2013, 03:45 PM

Anyone find that Angel wave yet in retail? Man need my marvel fix now dang it.

Bingo. I'm working on another shot of them. I'm adding nightcrawler, archangel, colossus, psylocke, and iceman to the display. That pic just references the cartoon.
