Before Gamestop scooped 'em up I frequented Thinkgeek's site, that was all they were at the time, around holidays since they were great for finding themed gifts like a Millenium Falcon cutting board or an R2-D2 measuring cup set. They've always offered figures but it was very small compared to the pop culture themed novelties and appliances. Since Gamestop swooped in, however, Thinkgeek has started getting its own physical stores popping up and Gamestop in turn has expanded their offering of collectibles.

So when is that spidey MJ two pack, due out ? That is definite purchase for me.

[Dr Kain]

I'll be getting the 2 pack, but I don't see how that is MJ when she doesn't have the MJ bangs. She just looks like some random damsel in distress.

Well she didnt always rock the angie tribeca bangs, but that woulda been cool to have. Hell put her in the bangs with blue jeans and the yellow sweater and napoleaonic violet shirt underneath like the old toy biz animated styled two pack.

A casual Google image search shows us a couple different hairstyles for MJ.

And a random picture of Hope Summers, because someone couldn't keep their Marvel redheads straight

I will stick with the less "Greg Land" MJ I made a ways back. If I pick up the 2-pack it will just be for custom fodder.

No kids. Peters "stuff" is radioactive- he's slowly killing MJ every time they make love. ...wait...what?!?

I like that MJ. What was the formula.

Was thinking of doing one myself using the Movie Sandman wave, just without that atrocious Dunst head.

...I'm fairly sure that's a simple repaint of Mary Batson/Mary Marvel of the Marvel Family DCUC - white variant.


EDIT: or what Nite said...lol

Double EDIT: Because you are so helpful, Nite...



..and that you reminded me that I hadn't revisited one of my favs in a while.

At least he didnt pull a hancock and blast her through the roof.

Sasquatch arrived today, and I was able to fully complete Apocalypse! I wasn't too keen on this Sasquatch figure looking at him in the box, but in hand he is awesome! Each finger articulates, and he's huge while being super poseable. I have an extra right arm I need to sell now.

[Bo Ttef]

Heh- yeah, what everyone said- my MJ is just a very simple repaint of DCUC Mary Marvel. Wiped the lightening bolt and any other yellow off her dress, painted her hair red and her boots brown.that's it. Wholesome younger MJ as opposed to Hot Supermodel Ex-wife MJ.

[Bo Ttef]

I love that Toybiz sasquatch. I used him to upgrade my Man-Thing (was really disappointed when I got the Man-Thing thinking it would be the same size as Sasquatch but they down scaled him to "human" sized) I just swapped his head, cut and glued his stick bits to the larger body and painted the whole thing green (sculpted a few swap boils and vines on him just for good measure)

What....no cucumber wang like swamp thing...ala return of swamp thing movie. That looks kickass man. I may have to do that.

[Archangel]

Nice work on Swamp Thing. Love the vine effects you added to the body. Nice work!

[TheBlueMarvel]

Who is the Chris Evans/Steve Rogers on Constantine body supposed to be, Bo Ttef?

[Bo Ttef]

Heh-thanks guys. I still stick left over GreenStuff to him when sculpting something- so he's nice to keep around for that... but c'mon now "Swamp Thing"tm DC Comics. "MAN-THING"tm Marvel Comics! lolz.

Hannibal King.

[Bo Ttef]

The "other" Ryan Reynolds Marvel character.

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Bo Ttef

lol...oh, ok sure...but don't attach Reynolds with him or speak too much about his appearance in Midnight Sons ...the old 70's Dracula stuff was cool tho.

Nice customs, I like the quick easy and effective numbers that a custom novice like myself could do...

I wanted to say something so badly, but I imagine many already think I'm a dick, so I passed on the correction LOLOL

I try and stick with easy and paint free as possible (when possible) Hannibal King and Constantine wear the exact same thing, so head and hand swap- red eyes. Ta-da!
