I've ordered from him also. Good stuff, but it did take a few weeks.

I ordered a small pile of stuff, about $35 worth. I live in RI and it took at least three weeks maybe four to get the stuff. That said, it's some of my favorite stuff I've ordered from a caster. Well made, no flashing, pretty much perfect. I'm happy, but I am also patient.

wylde bil · 08-13-2013, 04:18 AM

the 3 of you giving good reviews is very reassuring, so i will probably place an order
thanks for your input

Masterless, thank you!

bmorr · 08-13-2013, 06:45 AM

itll be a miracle if i dont lose her katanas in six months. ive resorted to sticky tacking them to her hands for safe keeping. i almost lost them in the carpet the day i got her lol.

MADREVJACK · 08-13-2013, 07:32 AM

Bmorr- if you lose those katanas, lmk, I have a metric ton of katanas in that size. I'll hook you up w replacements.

bmorr · 08-13-2013, 07:53 AM

thanks man, ill keep you in mind if it happens that i lose them permanently.

Haven't heard of many people having any issues, only one comes to mind and that was just because they had to do some clean up of extra plastic. I don't have the Super Skrull set but I've seen a lot of people buy that one and it seems fairly easy to put together.

MADREVJACK · 08-13-2013, 12:14 PM

The SS set is pretty nice too. I've seen some of you guys here rock different kinds of super skrull, and they all rock. The set looks nice, and delivers a simple classic look, and parts wise almost everything you need is right there. Although I don't own it.

had the idea for a head swap on this figure, I think it looks allot better, my favorite version of wolverine for sure going on my 90's shelf

I had been debating trying that but didn't know if the heads fit. This seals it. Definite upgrade. I'll get one when they go on sale at TRU again.

It looks like the definitive 90's X-Men cartoon Wolvie. Nice job!

Marv0850 · 08-13-2013, 01:44 PM

Thanks guys! I guess I should add that the ball joint on this figure is a bit small for the head of the wolvie figure, I had to use a bit of hot glue followed by a trim of the excess with an exacto knife. Not at all difficult, you could also use super glue for the same effect just make sure you keep moving the joint until it drys.

Man, thought finding Nova on Saturday was going to have my luck start changing with MU. But sadly, not the case. I can hit Toys R' Us, Target, and the new Wal-Mart that just opened up in one straight shot, so that's what I did. TRU just had some older stuff, nothing I didn't already have. Wal-Mart's toy section is laughable. They have the least amount of action figures I've seen outside of a Safeway. Fuckers had six pegs for those basic Ultimate Spider-Man figures (the ones that come in like regular Spidey and a blue variant), all full, but zero pegs for MU. Target just had one Gladiator for $11.99.

So, in the clip, John C. Reilly says they call themselves the guardians of the galaxy.
The villain who responds to him, does he really say, what a bunch of A-holes? Is it just me, or does everyone else hear that too?

Nope he says that for sure, wasn't just you.
