I gotta find someone that can mold a bunch of accessories in clear plastic. I want to do a magneto type prison thing.

It's funny I don't see a plastic crapper in his cell. Pretty sure that's against some rules.

Maybe he wears diapers. He's kinda old, so maybe he needs them.

He looks good but not really my type of thing. I'm sure I'll kick myself someday for not jumping on it.

I use him for my Eddie Venom. He has a rubber Venom mask that goes on his head.

Does he use corn starch or baby powder? I hear rubber items can chaff fairly badly

Neither. That's why he's got that pissed off expression

seen pictures of it online. I think he looks better without it. the mask looks kinda out of place on him.

I'm really interested in how a 3D Printer works now. If someone on here had one could they design a really detailed figure on a program or something and then print it and send it to Vort or something?

Actually somebody here on the Ark made some figures with a 3D printer, I recall seeing them somewhere in the customs section. Somebody else probably knows what/who I'm talking about. Either way yes if you had a 3D printer you could cast some seriously detailed heads and then find someone else to paint them for you though it takes a lot of skill/training to get that good with the software involved. I also seem to recall some toy company speculating that in the future they could essentially sell customers files for a 3D figure and they would just print it out themselves since the prices of 3D printers are lowering and the prospect of some regular people getting them isn't too far away. Of course I don't think that this idea accounts for how easy it would be to copy and distribute the files for free in a fashion comparable to movie and computer game piracy. But back to your main question, yeah it could work.

No, Target uses the same stock number for all Marvel Universe & Marvel Infinite figures. So if you scan it and it says they have more in the back they could be old figures.
Plus that is why you can still return MU figures to Target with a valid receipt.
I wonder if they will keep the number for the new ones.

The cube in the background is bothering me haha. I might have to keep an eye out for that old figure too. Pretty sure we still have the Carnage that was the same size somewhere in my house

this is one ugly series of misunderstandings.

*funny

For some people it might have been painfully awkward but I laughed my ass off so hard throughout the whole thing.

Hopefully we can all quickly recover from it. I'm not sure if some of you guys lost respect for one another but you have to consider how annoying it was for jedi. I mean, I would be pretty pissed if I was in his situation too.

I've got some pilkster heads coming and I'm excited. Any suggestions for a Tombstone body? I want him bigger than the prof X buck.

Edit: After a little research Tombstone is 6'7". Would the 5 inch Spider Man Animated Tombstone actually be in scale?

No a 5" toy in this scale would be proportionately seven and a half feet tall. 6'7" in the scale would be 4.39" or so.

Any chance you could help me out Law?

Hey mate, sorry only just seen this haven't been on over the weekend, i would love to help out but not really in a position to. When i got into this collecting back in Feb, UKMU was the first to come onto me and say he could help me out, anyway through no particular fault of his own it didn't come off as the figures he could help with was from his mate and they were ones i didn't have any interest in (just saying he seemed a decent guy at first). Anyway back to the point he does live local to me about 15 minutes drive near my inlaws but there wasn't anytime that he gave me his address or phone number. We were meant to meet in a local supermarket about 3 of 4 times and instead of messaging on here back and forth i gave him my phone number for ease, i always thought it weird that when we were meant to meet i never got a text or phone call, he'd just PM on here and give an excuse of not being able to meet. Obviously he didn't want me to have his number. So everything that's going on around here seems to be stacking up, but what i cant understand is why someone who i would say was the most interactive on here, as in posted the most comments on threads (i think if remember he was up to about 2500) can go total silent and mess with you guys on trades. Seems very strange to the point don't you guys think something serious has happened like he is has passed away or seriously ill or something?? I know it sounds bad to say but that would explain things, but i don't suppose it would explain how he was not wanting me to have his number. Sorry i cant help any further fellas, unless you can think of something i can't seeing as i live so local to him, let me know.
