He was Star Of The Week last week for his entire school! Giving him £20 pounds towards what I think will be a Godzilla..... he earned it!

Also... who on eBay has that 5" Groot? I just got a ML Patriot for under a tenner shipped, now just need a good Groot from Chinahina bay and I am off!!!!

the irony is astounding. the uk doesn't get a black knight figure.

kylactus · 05-29-2014, 07:24 AM

right!?! that's like Captain America being banned in the US!

samsson37 · 05-29-2014, 07:34 AM

You'll poke your eye out kid !!!!! SOOOO My question is No figures come with weapons ? Do they bann StarWars due to light sabers !? Im being serious, thats so bizarre

ukmu · 05-29-2014, 07:48 AM

First I have heard of any of it.... not sure if it is the sword or why it was not allowed. I just found out from the UK gang, but they all seemed to know except me. I'm the last to know....

bmorr · 05-29-2014, 08:00 AM

we need to send ukmu a black knight care package haha.

kylactus · 05-29-2014, 08:16 AM

yah and end up facing some crazy plastic weapons smuggling charges in the UK! I'd be pissed if I ended up un a jail cell in London for sneaking a 1.5" plastic sword into there country!

seriously though, have there been other MU figures banned?

ukmu · 05-29-2014, 08:24 AM

I will ask..... I know the EU is overwhelming in some of their lists of things. Crazy.....

I have seen Starfox on eBay now, getting close to SDCC time!! I think it is a seller who got one from taobao and is reselling. It is at 30 bucks with a couple days to go.

Confirmation:

ukmu · 05-29-2014, 12:42 PM

Best Kingpin custom that I have EVER seen. You good sir, can have Friday off!!!
FANTASTIC High Evolutionary as well.... smashing it.

Good to see that Primacon, does it show Wonder Man on the back of the card? The region 2 card has Wonder Man, as the region 1 does not. It doesn't matter, but would like to know if it is imported, or distributed by Hasbro International.

Super happy seeing Wasp pop up here. Good.to.see that local toy shops have them. I would rather buy from.them than a chain store. Thanks for sharing!!!

Exodus · 05-29-2014, 12:43 PM

Confirmed by "Previews" that it's basically the same figures that will be in the 3rd wave I think of the MI series, GOTG.

It does indeed have Wonder-man on the back, it's multi-lingual.

Excellent work my friend some of your stuff really showcases your talent. I don't mean to nitpick as your Kingpin is very well done, but I recently learned that a simple line above the pupil (eyelid) really adds to the realism. Plus it helps minimize the "dear in headlights" shocked look.

Again if you don't change a thing your still got a rocking Kingpin.

I believe the reason he wasn't allowed in was... THERE'S NO BLACK ON HIM! False advertising. Trade's descriptions act. I'm kidding of course... but seriously... no black?

K Dubious · 05-29-2014, 05:20 PM

First new custom in my new place. The toy cave is still a WIP, but i can't stop customizing in the mean time

ukmu · 05-29-2014, 05:45 PM

Ahab........ Nice.

Great work there, my only comment that might be considered negative is that I find the lack of eyebrows off-putting.
Didn't there used to be a Marvel customs thread, I enjoy seeing these here, but I thought there was a thread dedicated to customs. It would be nice if that was dug up and brought back to life.
