From the Toybiz line mid 90's...Those are two more I forgot to mention when I was stating good crossovers like ZAAKK and Wendigo.

UKMU ....I love that you put up a pick of one of my favorite baddies ...The Master of Savate Batroc the Leaper...it bugs me still that GSP didnt really do much Savating lol...for a perfect example of how the form is used watch the French guy in the old flick BloodSport...I would have loved to see GSP get some shots in using this, before the beatdown

I saw loose AoU figures at eBay, or should I say ChinaBay? But they were only the Iron man Mark 43 and blue-lined Black Widow at the moment.

There are actually the Nick Fury and TWS Cap figures on as well. The only ones not there is the Hawkeye and Falcon 2-pack figures, because they're going to be released later.

Where did you get the pallets? I have paper boxes from the Indiana Jones line, now I need pallets to put them on.

Exodus · 03-23-2015, 09:05 AM

Love the display pics guys! Was nice getting the Beast wave in from HTS and cheaper then retail...at least HTS has been reliable for getting the latest in the MI series. Beast and Dark Beast look superb! Can't wait to get the rest in.

Corporate theft!

Right, I think we all need to see what post it pallets are all about!
I feel yeah on the awsome/weirdo feeling you get when making something for your toys! There is this smoking hottie at the print shop where I had some HYDRA stickers made. I use these printers a lot for my artwork when I do a run of prints. She knows me and my son by name. Anyway, when I had her do some stickers she asked me if they were for my sons scooter. I said.excitedly, that they were actually for some custom comic book vehicles for a toy army!!! I was stoked that o was finally getting little GI JOE like stickers, she looked at me as if I had just said I lived on the moon! I wished them I had just said yeah, he wants to pimp his scoot. It was the first time I felt like a proper toy nerd!

That was the first time?

ukmu · 03-23-2015, 11:46 AM

That it were... Although the 719 posts per day here on TA should have tipped me off!!!
I can't rember were I put my keys sometimes, but I know the difference between protech, small joes and ee figure stands. Perhaps I have known for longer than I realize!! ;

Finally scored Bishop, got the rest of the wave coming from HTS. 2 cases of the Bishop wave at my Target today. Nice to see 3 full pegs with something other than wave 1.

IcantBseriouS · 03-23-2015, 12:20 PM

Yeah I found him today as well. There I so much work I gotta do with these new figures. So Cable or Herc body for Bishop? I got fancy with my Beast. Tried putting the lower legs on the older cat beast body. Going to put head on there if I like how it turns out. The setback I'm having is the cat beast knee joint is way thicker than the blue beast knee. I tried to heat up & pull together with a smaller peg. Legs pop right back open once cooled off. So I tried taking a piece of plastic and making like a washer to fill up the gap. It works but just does not look as clean as I like. I kinda want to cut the disc from the larger knee glue on the smaller knee and try casting. What you folks think? Like other ideas, not if I should try casting.

Nice! Retail must be finally catching up...Still glad to have gotten him off of HTS with the discount code though.

Captain Nash · 03-23-2015, 12:39 PM

Whoa! MI at retail that isn't Cap or Iron Man! This never happens.

IcantBseriouS · 03-23-2015, 12:46 PM

It was another Target. No other stores in the area have anything new. I swear I'm gonna start throwing that Purple Wonderman & Drax!

Have you tried heating it up putting it on the peg then giving it an ice bath? I found that if I want to "Re-Shape" plastic the ice bath really helps to hold the new shape I'm trying to achieve. I think there is some chemistry involved with rapid heat then rapid cold that "changes" the shape, idk just figured I would share my experience.

IcantBseriouS · 03-23-2015, 12:54 PM

LOL. I'm gonna try this! My wife gives the the strangest looks now when I have a cup of boiling hot water. Can't wait to have a bowl of ice water as well.

samsson37 · 03-23-2015, 12:57 PM

As promised, my crate building , while handling a very hard day at work.....I think I'll do 5 more tomorrow lol

I think it will work for ya. Just make sure to hold the knee tight around the peg when you dip it in the ice so that it has to keep that shape.

Also another sure fire way to get strange looks from the misses is use her blow dryer, lol. I used to do the cup of hot water thing, but now I use a heat gun (a blow dryer is the same thing) and it makes the work so much faster.

I'm the same, you show me a tiny bit from any Star Wars or MU figure & I could rattle the character off without even thinking. Gods, I need a life!
