Yes I'm one of those that normally collects comics based, but since the GOTG ladies, I was so impressed, now I collect some MCU figures.

@nitelife

Just curious. Which character is made of pink energy?

[ariellagunas]

Yeah. I still have that Thor. I have others. And yes he needs and upgrade. The hips are so loose.

[ariellagunas]

Obviously Mephistopheles is Select. And even if I love my Beta Ray Bill, I could do with an update.

[ariellagunas]

Wooops. My auto correct spelled Mesphistopheles. Not me tryin to be clever. I'm not.

And yep I still love my old Sandman.

Living lasers figure is pinkish.

@Nitelife

Ah, yes. Mega pink. Good for him. I just wish that was X-Ray from the U-foes. I'm not familiar with that version. I remember in green, similar to 60's Sandman.

[ariellagunas]

Obviously the effect for Phoenix is from the Marvel Select.

That is MY Hulk, as I discovered him through Sal Buscema.
Also I see more black females in ML, but I need classic Monica, I ditched the jacked (thou I've kept a second one, in case the whole of Nextwave gets done). Would love to see Nightshade one day.
And finally, I adore Satana (and the other horror characters from the 70's), but I would kill for a classic one. And Lilith too. Bizarre Adventures was a great comic as kid, and it felt rather naughty, at the time.

[ariellagunas]

Astra and Vamp are clearly customs. They are very good. I like obscure characters, and I know they will never be made.
My Dragon Man is still my baby. I just love him. He always takes centre space.

[ariellagunas]

That Frankie Ray Nova is from the old 5" series. She was oversized then, so fits OK now.

I do still prefer my old Nick Fury from Toybiz. He's awesome, and yes. I took those stupid horns of Magik. I hate them. Thou my SDCC exclusive one still has them.

[ariellagunas]

That is Wraalll at the back. And I consider Conan Marvel, as I was brought up with him.

I also prefer the old Valkyire to the new one. The new one its jus not very good.

And of course my D-Man is a mash-up of Wolvie and Daredevil.

[ariellagunas]

Not much to say about this one. But I adore that Galactus. Never got the newest one. But I will if I ever see him.

[ariellagunas]

Rachel needs an update. Badly. Her effect is obviously from the old Toybiz Phoenix.

Jocasta and Dust are clearly customs. Dust was made by Babscan, and he's gotten really good with time. Jocasta is not great and I mean to re-paint her, but whomever did her (can't remember, sorry) did a god job with the hair, which is very hard to shape (I tried).
Jocasta is my favourite marvel character, as I loved her Pinocchio syndrome, and her look by George Perez (and yes, I know she's a rip-off of Platinum, but she was way more exciting).
Dust, is the one character of those million new X-men, that could have been developed more. But basically I love the powers and aesthetics of Sooraya.

[ariellagunas]

Final mini-story for the day, as its very late in the UK.

This is a bit of a sad story.

That Ultron is perfect except it's too big. (Is Marvel Select).

Doctor Doom looks pathetic compared to current figures (it always did thou).
Cannonball is way too old and specific to a period, I need a classic uniform one with power up effects.
Silver mane is obviously on the ultimate Beetle body. Boo hoo.
My Scorpion is just too weird. Thou I like the shinning green.
Lizard is not old Lizard, blah blah, Goliath is too small, and Dum Dum Dugan needs a serious update, blah blah.
It's the sorry section. But I love that Whirlwind.

That's it from me for now. I will try to get the rest up soon. But don't hold me to it.
Hope you weren't bored, and didn't take too much space off you fine ladies and gents.

Toddles pip!

Fingers cross.

Fingers crossed, indeed. If not from the main Avengers waves, maybe we'll see some ladies released through the comic two-packs that are usually released around the time of the films.

Also, nice collection shots. Your Jocasta is absolute perfection.

[TheBlueMarvel]

Looking good ariellagunas! I see you don't wait around for Hasbro, you simply make what you want or need.

[Harbinger]

Love those display shots ariel. Kick ass!

[Trivial Psychic]

I know she's been in the rumor mill a couple of times, but is it confirmed anywhere that we're likely to see a White Queen in the near future?

I ask because I saw this kitbash custom on eBay, and it's pretty damn simple and ingenious. In fact...I can almost see Hasbro doing the same exact thing. I've been running into a bunch of Typhoid Mary and Daggers just pegwarming at my local haunts, so I'm strongly considering just giving it a shot...(though I might change a piece here or there...)
