That sir is real nice!!

That is great work, Vort does some really nice stuff (still want a kingpin off him but I am waiting for the finished dragonman kit to go up as well)

No kidding...I'm still hoping HTS will get them soon, but I think with their website upgrade (more like downgrade) they've been slow in putting stuff up...I still hate looking at their site.

I prefer the term "life model decoy".

It is painful for sure.

You said you were planning to go to NJCC, right? I'll be bringing a name tag with my username. I'll take a pic of the name tag today so you'll know me when you see me.

Hmmmm. Since you have to assemble that figure anyway, it might be relatively easy to salvage a light up feature from another figure and give him the ability to glow...

The dead green bothers me. If it had the green from the original figure it would be perfect.

Speaking of the raffle prizes, do you know if the custom Dreadnok is a raffle only or is he also gonna be on sale?

I ordered it assembled. That's my figure pictured right there all ready to go. He just has to assemble the custom Tigra I ordered and then he's going to send them off. So no option for a light-up feature this time.

I agree the green from the official figure is nicer but I'm still very pleased with how this looks. He's big and beefy, like the good Dr. Chen should be.

Madame Warlock; pleasant to have a woman's presence to a mostly male hobby, statistically. You always bring cool original characters and your love for this scale is pretty unique, I would say. I can see how it is easy to mistake gender in this mixed up world we live in. I don't speak for anyone; I admittedly thought you were a transgendered male with the play on Adam Warlock as your username so now that we all know, you're a gem. Keep on shining! I am genuinely happy to see this hobby is shared universally.

UrsaMagnus · 11-05-2015, 10:19 PM

So, back to action figures and not stuff that likely belongs in other topics...

I still get far too great enjoyment from having this Warstar again. :-)

kylactus · 11-05-2015, 10:26 PM

I wish we'd get more shi'ar royal guards, and deathbird, and some star jammers. but it seems that the full on X ban has extended to there cosmic enemies and allies too. but I don't think they could make a better Warstar today if they tried.

Aquaman Action Figure Justice League Unlimited Cartoon DC Comics 2005 | eBay

until now I never noticed the resemblance between aqua man and Thor Odinson. both royalty, shirtless, long hair and beard, short capes, and missing arms... separated at birth? maybe marvel will retcon them to be long lost brothers.

When did Thor lose an arm? Is that in the recent stuff?

Here's my NJCC name tag. Keep in mind, I'm going to be small amongst you guys so don't get confused if you see me xD

Hey guys. I've received a couple of reported posts about the thread getting wildly off topic. If you'd like to continue with alternate discussions, please be sure to start a new thread in the appropriate area.

Thanks all and enjoy! It's a Friday so happy to hunting this weekend.

FYI:
I did remove some posts. Thanks again everyone.

Yep. Spoiler alert (even tho the TPB has been out for a long time... Malekith gave him the governer treatment.

We are missing a lot of Thor villians in this scale.

Thanks Joe.

Also, thank you for trying to keep the peace and continue to allow this to be a safe haven and sanctuary for those of us that use this hobby and site as a way to keep our sanity and share something we all love.
