Speaking of stands does anyone bulk sell the ones that can clip around waists to make the figure look like it is jumping or flying?

Looks great btw

Yeah those 4 or 5 cheap figures are the last I can recall. You'd think they would've at least re-released MU Silver Samurai or something. I'm thinking of combining the 5 POA Silver Samurai with Retaliation Budo though to make my own. That comic pack is really expensive these days.

Also thank you.

Indians were mentioned a while back, so I made a list.

Thunderbird and Warpath have been done. Forge was done in the Toybiz line. I can personally attest to Shaman and Talisman customs being done. Red Wolf was mentioned. Off the top of my head there is also:

American Eagle II
Black Crow
Moonstar
Portal
Puma

That makes 11, and I probably missed a couple.

Wyatt Wingfoot.

Actually there should be a Native American category on the Marvel wiki. That's a good place to start.

Slim pickins for people who don't customize, though.

snake5289 · 02-22-2016, 11:20 AM

Don't forget about Silver Fox.

Don't always think about supporting cast, but Wyatt would be easy with the right head. Just use Sandman/Absorbing Man body.

I orders from him as well! Been so long I couldn't find it.

In the new DETOLF shelves I used white-tak for standing them. I need flight stands and stands now I guess. Might have to spend the next couple of months getting those instead of figures.

Some of the C-bay sellers (viperskingdom is one) have generic Joe stands for a fiver (US) for 20 or 25 stands with free shipping. They look as cheap as they cost though. When I need a lot though may just settle for those.

I could just buy a sheet of acrylic and cut into discs and hot glue them like they do for toy shows? Time consuming but could bang out around fifty per sheet at around $8-9 a sheet.

Thank you. That gold paint is not that easy to work with but it looks pretty good when it's finished.

Wow I just noticed I'm over 3,000 posts. It doesn't feel like that many.

ukmu · 02-22-2016, 01:14 PM

Wow I just noticed I have an "infractions" banner. It doesn't feel like that many.

Gold is ALWAYS a difficult but rewarding colour. I have always wondered about gold or silver leafing a figure. I figure (ha-pun) that one COULD achieve a mirror polish shine if done correctly.

Man, I would love to buy a ton of those. I'll have to see where the finances are. I may jump on at least a couple.

Kamatayan · 02-22-2016, 01:31 PM

Those Marauder stands look sweet.

Just be careful Law to not get the ones for VINTAGE figures. Any modern era stand SHOULD work to varying degrees.

Those Marauders stands are PERFECT for armies!! I like them all (army figures) exactly the same and in rows. I am going to look into these. Also if they ship to UK and if so if it's reasonable. Also if any UK marker wants to go in on some?

Edit: international shipping is $12.95

Someone had bought the Thor pack.

Dang wish we had that store here...

Ugh hate going to Walmart, although I knew I should have stopped off at one over the weekend, but oh well. Hope to see these at TRU soon, they have the pegs for them and a sticker with a release date, I guess they sold out right away according to the CSR lady.

I totally count my Big Hero 6 figs with the rest of the Marvel crew

Too bad FM is so slow with toys now it seems like that their sales don't mean anything :P

Too right. They had buy 2 get one free for ALL non clearance figures this week and I walked away with nothing because the only figs that weren't over 6 months old were Star Wars and BvS.

The BVS would have interest me, although I don't think a lot of collector's hit up FM now a days because of their slowness...their prices were a bit higher too, but TRU I think has caught up with them.

Hey man I forget, are any of those variants, or just a solid vision holy trinity?

I really wouldn't want to, that figure is on the ugliest body. Makes the Vision look like he's got a middle aged dad bod. The only thing going for it is the shiny paint job.
Buying 3 is wholly unnecessary.
