There's a whole line of these. Check a few pages back on the Japanese MU compatibility thread. Next set is Vegeto/Gotenks/Super Boo.

Lockjaw and Howard the Duck were both completed molds that were intended for release. Lockjaw as a single carded release, and Howard was originally part of the Fin Fang Foom that was supposed to get released but got axed. (Seemingly, Rocket Raccoon's single carded release was a test for these to see if fans would still buy them if they weren't included as part of a set of some kind.)

One thing I've always wondered about lockjaw though. Inhumans are human looking before the terrigen change. Did he really go from person to giant teleporting puppy? That's a story I really kind of want to read now. Or was he a puppy with inhuman DNA somehow?

3 Pack with Kamala and Crystal would make the most sense.

No Lockjaw was not a humanoid before going through his change. At one point it was said he was a humanoid before but this was quickly revealed to be a prank/joke. He's just a dog with Inhuman DNA, my guess is he wasn't so huge before either. His exact origins have never been written out though so I guess anything could happen but he certainly enjoys being a huge dog as is.

HTS put the collector's set on Ebay, free ship and I think no sales tax either? Marvel The Collector's Vault Conventions Exclusives | eBay

I thought that one time they mentioned he was part of the royal family, he was a cousin? I think it was from one of the cartoons. I felt they weren't lying (didn't need to) besides: Gorgon had goat legs, Karnak had a big head.

I wish there would still be some left until I get some funds for it.

Nice. Needed another one and I save a couple bucks at least.

Thanks, dude!

I had a blast just looking through those pics and reading everything! I recommend storing all the images on your image sharing website before you make a huge post like this (assuming you want to update it, which I think all of us would really want). It ensures the longevity of the post for Arkers who look back at archived posts.

I will do that! Will take me awhile but I will.

That Rocket looks great. I am sure a head swap could be performed without too much of job to see it through. Just about finished our Groot but it slow, I need a Dremmel instead of slowly carving with a scalpel.

Just cutting out some more HYDRA stickers and still planning on a new photo shoot on Friday. Some HYDRA vehicles mostly, maybe some Doom v FF shots too..... speaking of Doom, came across K-Dubious's video today. The older "people of Toyark" video. Love it so much! We were looking at Star Wars dioramas and saw it come across and had to watch it. Point being, the DOOM figure on the castle is our main DOOM now. The very figure. It is pretty cool having THAT figure. So cool, it needs some photos love!

Going to a little forest and should find some Rocky outcrop for a Doom battle and something (still not sure what-maybe near water?) for a killer backdrop for the HYDRA army pics. I have zero idea what sort of background I want for an army group shot with tech and vehicles... any thoughts gratefully appreciated.

Really cool review, well sort of a review sort of an action figure movie. After watching, I think (but what do I know huh) that a head swap and tail placement (odd to see with no tail on the playskool figure) and you could have a decent MCU version of Rocket.... sadly, continues as I still want him in his blue suit with red trim, but articulated at least a tiny bit.

There just might be. Not exactly a super popular set.

Fantastic X shelf! Great setup. Not a fan of the Disney things but they do look interesting collected together like that.

I think that mold is perfect for the character. I always pictured him as tall and skinny. Skinnier than Cyclops even, so it works for me. Like the belt though!

En Sabah Nerd · 08-24-2016, 05:45 PM

Went into TRU today and while I wasn't looking for anything Marvel in particular I was still happy to see that they got a good deal more of the BP/A-13 two packs. Good to know that other people in my area can get it too.

Yeah, those stories were weird in how they tried to discuss it. But then again, they also have never given him a real origin either, nor explained how he's the only inhuman animal either. He's existed as long as the inhuman royal family has in comics. Not much in the way for them on backstory either prior to that. And it's weird he's seemingly the only Inhuman animal.

Still a comic potentially worth doing. The Inhuman Royal family's story before they became the Inhumans we know today. Blackbolt when he discovered what his voice would do. Lockjaw and whether he was an experimented on puppy breed by the kree or humanoid before his change. Gorgon's reaction to his legs becoming what they were. Medusa learning what her hair could do. Karnak and how he learned what he saw was the weakest spot on anything. Crystal and her control of the elements.

Thank you guys! They are FUN to make, a little difficult at first but each attempt I try to improve. This file was huge for some reason; 4 gigs, had so much more to add but I ran out of room on my phone.
