In B4: "wwaaah...it's not Jim Leez...snarf snarf...

Good looking figure. I know it's 80's punk Storm, but this really has an X-Men Apocalypse feel to it, which makes me want it more.

So...either you own this...or you found a pic of this online?

Sorry...I suck at innuendos.

If you found this...give us some info...as in where?

Well thanks Wal-Mart. I really did not need to drop this money , but seeing a whole case on the shelf at once is getting more and more difficult. Also picked up a second Cable so I can do some custom and kitbashing work with an extra Nuke figure I picked up super cheep a while back. This mart in question got in one case of DP Legends and one case of Infinity series 2.

Finally saw Black Panther(absolutely loved it BTW) and I want T'Chaka Black Panther and "tactical" gear Killmonger legends now.

Also watched "The Wolverine", which was so much better than Origins.

Can't wait to find that Black Knight! If anyone is looking to unload those BAF pieces, let me know. Thanks to Trivial Psychic, I got the parts from Ant-Man and Wasp. Thanks again dude!

Best ever use of that meme.

They're not available here, yet. Blame Canada!
Buuuuuut if you do have a friendly connection up in the frozen North, you might be able to bribe them to pick up a figure or two for you from the Apocalypse wave. That's the only place I know of that they're showing up, so far. I suggest you bring maple syrup to the negotiating table.

Thanks! That was my immediate reaction when I saw your picture. I was hoping maaaaybe they were starting to show up stateside but I guess not. Canada is not too far away from the southern US...Roadtrip! (okay maybe not.) Since I don't know anyone to trade with up there I guess it's just a waiting game.

It's so annoying for those who want this wave so badly that all these other waves are dropping like crazy and this wave keeps holding steady for the summer. Bring On The X!!!

I feel like Malekith is going to be the hard one to get the loose BAf piece from. The other 5 are pretty top notch figures, but I have and like the SDCC Malekith better. Anyone , like myself, is only buying him to complete the BAF of Cull. Malekith will most likely peg warm hard, so eventually I am sure he will hit clearance. But I am sure there are some who did not get the SDCC version who want him, right?

Questions for my customizers out here:


While I still fully plan on getting 80s Storm, I want to do a Jim Lee Storm custom in the near future. Off the bat, I can see 3 problem areas for an inexperienced customizer like me: 1) White paint 2) The shoulder pads (I'd be worried about trying to sculpt them from hand and them being too fragile and breaking off) and 3) finding a cheap Marvel Legends female buck to work with that won't require too much modification.


Any advice?

The only one I can suggest is to use Phoenix for the base buck. She's still pretty plentiful, and if your local TRU (if you still have one) has her, she can be grabbed for a pretty low amount, and she's on the taller, more slender end of the bucks. Good luck!

But if you go with Jean, see if you can get some different feet to swap out. Those wedges are hell to pose.

I have the sdcc one and i want this one for custom purposes.

I'm guessing Malekith and Black Knight should both be easy to find in the wild. My comic shop has them in spades.

Luckily, a friend of mine wants Malekith but I don't think he wants the BAF, fingers crossed he doesn't change his mind haha.

I wish my local store would order figures. I have to special order them if I want them, but then I have to get the entire case.

[Boy Blunder]

Anyone in the San Diego area: the Poway Walmart Supercenter has Thanos. Just came back from picking one up, there were still about four left.

They've also got droves of the MCU Thanos BAF wave, and about a case's worth of the Deadpool wave. Good luck!

[Captain Nash]

I forgot the Thanos figure even existed and that I still need it. I'm going to a few stores tonight for the first time in a month so maybe I'll find him, or Mysterio or Black Knight or oh who am I kidding. I'll find nothing I'm interested in. Ah well.

Brickseek helped me out this time - the county has been dry as a bone until now.

One issue I'm having is that Thanos' left arm pops off easily, but I chart that up to his origins as a BAF, and it's fine as long as you're not directly pulling on it.

Otherwise, he's gorgeous. Smelled like a jar of Testors enamel when I opened him up, though

If you are trying to do white paint over any other color, priming is your savior. Depending on how crazy you want to get with it will depend on what priming technique you want to do. I have yet to try this one but Action Figure Toronto has a really awesome priming technique in his tutorials section. Granted it's much more advanced than just using a spray can of primer but it might help give you ideas.

Wal-Mart had a lone set of the Deadpool wave so I said f**k it and got the classic Deadpool. It does have a lot of empty space in the box though. Were a couple of guns seriously too much to ask?

There was also a bunch of Blu-rays that had Deadpool on the covers I guess to promote Deadpool 2? I got War for the Planet of the Apes for about $12 and it has him riding the horse instead of Ceaser. I thought it was pretty funny.
