Well lets get started on the black pants version.

That is just so awesome!

Which is why I was fine buying the 5 PoA movie and cartoon lines. They just gotta price accordingly.

Hasbro caught on to that (eventually) which is why they started packing alternate character heads in with the figures instead of making a whole extra figure on its own and selling it with that head. Because people will buy more of the base figure to get another body to stick the head on. It's a great business model that the idiot bean counters ignored for years.

Agreed. i find myself back-collecting MU figures not just for customizing but also because they are out of production. While finding them in various non-retail stores like local comic/hobby shops and flea markets, i must confess i miss seeing them in an actual toy aisle.

i have to admit i was pleasantly surprised and happy to see what Mattel did with the 3.75 inch Jurassic Park, World, and Legends line.

If they make a 3.75 inch Top Gun line, i would be on board. i collected figures, vehicles, and dinos. i'd happily collect some figures and vehicles for this line as well (trying really hard not to picture a pretty cool air-carrier or flight deck playset ).

Hopefully that's the case but I think it could be wishful thinking....


Still though

i'm glad to see Boss Fight picking up more licenses.

I am guessing Wasp is a Gamora with a Domez head.


CCC.

Question for all my customisers out there

Looking for some tips for some customs and hoping I'd get some help here

I was wondering what could be used for the following

Cull Obsodian
M'Baku
Okoye
Wasp (sort of have an idea for her)
Ebony Maw


Trying to add to my Endgame Final Battle diorama and my Thanos army is severely lacking I've Thanos,3 Chitauri and a Dark Elf

And on the Avengers side I've
Cap
Iron Man
Thor (another possible custom as his hair keeps breaking off)
Scarlet Witch (custom needed for a poseable/movie accurate body)
Doctor Strange
Black Panther
Spider-Man
Captain Marvel
Star Lord
Rocket
Groot (using the 5" as a grown up Groot,beggars can't be choosers)
Bucky (The Hobbit's Kili head on a CA TFA Winter Soldier body)
War Machine
Falcon
And awaiting my Professor Hulk w/ Gauntlet to arrive

[Yojoe1138]

Show us the diorama..... do it... do it.

Also to clarify this is before I purchased the additional Chitauri and had thought of putting a Dark Elf in the mix

i dig the dios and the customs, Duffy!

[Lionheart]

I have a general question if anyone knows the answer: Does anyone know how those 'mini arcade' machines scale with MU? I know there seem to be 2 different sizes, but I can't tell which ones work best.

[Primacron]

^ I quite fancy some 3.75" scaled arcade machines as well.

Aragorn and Valinor are available to preorder from the Bossfight website. $110 for both horses and upgrade sets.

($35 for shipping to Europe so a rather tasty $145 all up, probably getting towards $180 by the time you throw in some tax and 'handling' fees.)

Still, Valkyrie and Black Knight will look awesome.

I saw one in a Cracker Barrel for like $20 that scaled well, but I also saw some ones in Wal-Mart that were too big. I'd tell you the brand, but I didn't buy it because it was Dig Dug.

You will need something to get it higher but they are the right scale.
