An easy Howard the Duck custom made with a Bilbo Baggins and the head and feet from the SDCC exclusive.
I plan to re-do the tie when I get a chance.

Nice to see that done - that is exactly the HTD Custom I've been toying with for a while.

Oscarv · 10-20-2016, 03:03 PM

So, same Hyperion, just from different realities. Got ya!

That Howard is excellent.

Planning to repaint that skinny Hyp into Whizzer.

CCC.

Awesome customs, I may get that Bilbo as the SDCC Howard blows. Did you turn a bag head spidey into mr fantastic

So has everyone seen the Logan trailer yet? I'm sure there won't be any figures sence the fox movies avoid reconizeable costumes, but I'd really dig an Old man Logan jackman and a movie Laura.

They actually skip toys for the Fox stuff nowadays because of Marvel's beef with Fox.

Also, am I the only one who found that trailer to be pretty boring?

Maybe.
I watched it and for the first time actually wanted to see a Wolverine movie (doesn't mean it won't suck like the first two anyway).

Agreed, it looked great, hopefully it's not a let down and they better have Lady Deathstrike too :P

What is the story with the Hyperion 2pack??? It did confuse me a bit when it was announced. Is it just the same character that has already been released in different costume?

I haven't seen the Kree/Marvel one at all. Then again the only time I've seen the new packs is at the discounted stores. The regular retail ones here still have wave 1...go figure.

Jay West · 10-21-2016, 12:43 PM

Infamous Iron Man the new book starring Doom was suprisngly good. I now want an Iron Doom. Has to be an easy custom, right?

I liked it. Not sure it was as "wow" as I wanted it to be. I am pretty bummed there aren't 4 inch Fox X-men figures. The feud between Fox and Marvel intially kept it from happening and now Hasbro has all but abandoned 4 inch figures. I really thought we would at least get some Sentinels from the Days of Future Past. At any scale the retro and future sentinels would have been great.

At least we can make Sentinels from this guy:

MUfan97 · 10-21-2016, 08:27 PM

Speaking of Sentinels...

Don't have a place to I want to put an action display of my Lego Blackbird, so the Sentinel moc I made for that display is just gonna chill in my main MU display for now. Kinda evens things out for the villains, since they now have a giant for their side.

I wish the beef was over and they could work something out. I would flip if we saw jeremy renner or mark ruffalo in that trailer. Hopefully we get some villians in 3.75" form.

Also I saw a gamora in the wild for the first time ever last night. I also noticed the 6" dr strange line is peg warming so far in my area, maybe that will change when the movie comes out.

MUfan97 · 10-22-2016, 03:18 PM

Random thought I just had: Would you trade the comics in the two packs for effects like the 6 inchers get?

Hells yeah! The comic book in the supreme powers 2 pack sucked hard, one of those comics that was just screenshots of the kids cartoon show. Plus they have packed the comics chalk full of ads for the 6" dolls. I still need to order a shrunken cap wolf head for my 3.75" stuff.

A cap wolf head would be a good reason for me to buy a new cap.

KjK · 10-23-2016, 08:21 AM

Sithlord1963, Oscarv, redfox, Kernal, Kamatayan, Thanks for all the kind words on my Howard custom. It was super easy. The only paint is the hands, collar and pants.

Yes. Bag-head body, Grim Reaper lower legs. I got one from a china seller a while back. I wish I would have gotten a second for Johnny.

KjK · 10-23-2016, 10:14 AM

Here are some Fantastic Four pics. I still can't believe we never got all four matching costumes. In my toy room I have three teams out.

My favorite versions.

What I use to get three teams.

KjK · 10-23-2016, 10:19 AM

Some power options if you can only display one of each.

A couple extra Human Torches I use for John Hammond and Toro.

LordMudd · 10-23-2016, 10:50 AM

I made my own Toro from a Gonativetoys Alpha Blank. Compared to Hasbro figures they are perfect size for "kid" figures.

CCC.

Autobot_Goldbug · 10-23-2016, 07:04 PM

they did make an official John Hammond in the SDCC Invaders set
