I was going to order Bishop and Omega Red from EE, but they wanted $10 for shipping. Ten dollars for TWO figures! I think they are on crack.

if you haven't already, I would definitely get in touch with them. That does seem like something's wrong.

They'll just tell me it will ship out by the end of this month, blahblahblah.

I saw most of the ensabbah wave and everyone was janky. Madrox had sloppy scuffed paint, betsy’s flesh tone on the lower torso looked like it received half coat as most of the outfit was visible, gladiator was derp eyed, storm had bent legs and no eye paint, and vic looked like he was zombified as half the jaw was unattached ( zombie variant? Haha ) didnt see jimbo or erik so im assuming those two musta been good. Really saw a cloak and elektra but cloak had half painted eyes and elektra had warped legs and the same piaint issues betsy had on her legs. By odins beard was this a disapointing day. I was gonna grab the falcon bucky 2 pack but damn bucky shrunk. The fig is friggin tiny as hell compared to his previous versions.

I finally had time to take some pictures of the Apocalypse wave I have currently:























Oh, and here is my custom Madelynn Pryor:

What’s the recipe for madelynn? I have a custom I been wanting to do and she looks like the basic idea of where I want to go, awesome pics and excellent work on her by the way!!

I now want to call him Apocy.

I got half the Venom wave today. Poison, Venom, and Ham. I'll elaborate a bit later.

[jwyss234]

Between Target and Gamestop, I managed to pick up Venom, Carnage, Poison, and Spider-Ham today. I canceled my preorder for the whole wave and got a preorder in for Typhoid Mary with Dorkside. Now I just need to find Scream in-store or online.

[DarthKamen]

Venom: I wasn't going to buy him, I own the Absorbing man wave Venom (he was my first Legends) and I find the Brock head ugly. But I impulse bought him and he's...the same. I love that figure so this is nice, and I enjoy the gloss on him.

Spider Ham: For a glorified accessory he's fun. It's idiotic that Rocket could have leg articulation but he can't. But he's a nice little guy and I'll use the Pork Grind head on the new Venom.

Poison: The figure I was expecting to love the most...is the figure I love the most. I love primarily white designs and it just looks so sinister with a bit of techiness to it. From what I understand he's Peter using a Symbiote parasite of sorts? Don't know, don't care. Great figure.

And let us appreciate the box, primarily white, with the Symbiote goo creeping up it.

I'm excited to get Carnage and Scream...I'll get Mary's part by itself.

Unrelated, but I'm headed for college soon...wow.

The short version is that it's an alternate universe Peter who's been possessed by a parasite which feeds on symbiotes. The entire ordeal gets pretty convoluted but it also isn't Marvel's messiest story so there's that.

Well I didn't really do much work on her, but thanks. :-) It's Dazzler's upper torso with most of the white painted black outside of the collar, Netflix Elektra's lower torso and legs, and the normal Jean head that came with Dark Phoenix.

Thank you!

Im still holding out hope we get a Goblin Queen at some point. They vould tone down the skin, ditch the underboobs and it would be perfectly acceptable for store shelves. Are bare thighs and muddrift that offensive? Pretty much every female in WWE is showing as much skin. If not, Id still love a Sisterhood of Evil Mutants version, with Scarlet Witch as a base and the Shuri cape. If they are going to mass produce Skullcrusher, Madelyne isnt that crazy of a request.

Sometimes the best customs are the ones you need to put the least amount of work into. It looks good dude. Nice job!

Speaking of easy customs...I'd say today was a productive day overall, as both my Studios Red Skulls (from Hasbro Toy Shop) and my fodder First Order bodies (from Ebay, was able to land two for under 20 dollars) arrived in the mail today.



I also managed to find the Walmart Thanos of all things today, and ran into the purple haired Psylocke at my local toy and collectible store. Since I have a problem...I said why not to both.

Red Skull: This is the figure I envisioned us getting all the way back when the movie dropped, and while it's a bit late, I really like it. I was worried that it was going to be a straight upscale of the 3.75 movie figure, which had a fantastic sculpt but little to no movement in the legs due to the skirt. Thankfully, Hasbro has taken what they've learned with their Black Series officer figures, and comprised the Skull with a softer piece that allows the figure a decent range of movement. The paints are crisp all around, and the weapon is also really nicely done, although the figure has difficulty getting it's trigger fingers into the trigger.

I really like the heads though, because it gives you the option to army build the hell out of him, and add some variety to your troops, much like what we got recently with the Hydra Soldier two pack. That's where the Black Series officer troops came in, as they are nearly the same size (slightly shorter) and bear the same, militaristic uniforms (albeit, a different color), allowing me for even more variety and a cheaper alternative.



The heads are not a perfect fit on the Black Series bodies, but if you stuff them with some napkin, they'll pop on and stay on.

While I still prefer the SDCC Skull over the regular release due to the jacket being the preferred look, this is still a very good alternative for anyone who didn't pick up that variation due to all of the added extras. Also, I should mention, the hands from the regular release do work on the SDCC Skull, as you can see from the photo.

[Tim]

Awesome pics! I gotta say I kinda used your idea with red skull. Now I’m up to three easy hydra soldiers and one red skull.

[Bo Ttef]

Got my Venom wave, and while i'm not impressed with much of this wave, the Scream is great as well as the Cletus head. Probably my two favorite things from the whole case.

So if anyone picks up the Ironman Thanos Strange pack and wants to get rid of Strange please let me know

Would they need to though? I mean, Gamora got away with it just fine. Though, I guess they did raise Dagger's cross pattern.

How many modifications did you have to make to fit the Cletus head on the Luthor body?

[DarthKamen]

^I love that prison uniform body. He looks great on it.

It's odd. I have little to no connection to the comics but I find comic based figures to be more fun to mess around with.

I just used an xacto to slice the sides of the ball peg post on the luthor neck peg. (Hate those little Multiverse pins) Cletus has a weird little notch up inside his head that the peg fit right up inside

[Super Joe]

I got 2 extra Prison Suit figures for those extra Cletus heads. I'll also be trading my Strange from the 10th Anniversary 3 Pack. PM me your BST lists for any possible trades.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Walgreens exclusive Silver Surver is now up on the site to order! Order quantity x 2 to get free shipping, and then unload the other copy on ebay or give to a friend if you are kind like that.

Done and ordered Silver Surfer! Down to 3 figures to go for until the 2019 stuff starts in (that includes the BP wave 2 set). And that also takes into account if I stumble upon a Mysterio and doesn't take into account multiples of Madrox...which could be another 3 in of itself lol.

@DTL that's awesome!
