Yeah I thought that shotty looked a bit on the big side. I was more interested in his scar & a few of his holsters. I was actually talking to him about making a pistol & shotgun for my blade figure. Thinking about using the enlarged snake eyes sword from resin for Blade too.

I'm honored by the mistaken identity, but nothing I can do compares to Veronica's. I still can't get that Meggan she made out of my head!

Glad it worked out though. She came out good!

Just curious Bo (and any of you other customizers out there...) what are you using to wipe the paint from the figure? I usually use nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol, but both seem to work with varying results, and your Sharon came out so clean. I had to touch mine up with a sky blue wash to tint it a bit in order to hide the fact that the flesh colored paint didn't come off the body cleanly, and ended up staining in some places. Is there a certain process or chemical that you guys use that works better?

I use a remover called onyx Professional 100% pure acetone. I wiped the torso with a cotton ball and the face with a q-tip (removed the hair first) I tend to do one or two quick wipes then rest it a second before cleaning it up with a few more wipes- but this stuff will dissolve the plastic fast if you go to hard at it- usually though it only takes a few passes to get the color off. Cotton balls do work better than paper towels or clothes from the various things I've used.

Looks like it, though it looks like Carol got herself some hair extensions. Wish the actual retail version looked more like that because the exclusive looks nowhere near as dynamic.

Brownfinger · 03-08-2019, 08:10 PM

So seeing the Minn-Erva concept art, it looks like the figure we got mirrors it exactly. I mean I kind of suspected, but it's nice to have that confirmation. Would still have preferred one that resembles Gemma Chan, though. Oof.
Really didn't know what to expect with Captain Marvel, was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it. Good story and a lot of heart. Really loved to see a lot of the elements I love about the books getting represented so well. Would have liked to see a couple others, one big one you can probably guess, but I'll wait until more people have seen it. I dunno how Marvel does this de-aging stuff, and Samuel L. already looks fantastic for his age. So why not give us a Fury movie?

Humanity is advancing at the same speed it always has - a snail's crawl. It seems slow to you because you can cover 80 years of progress in a few minutes of reading a wikipedia entry.
People who live in such times can't see the wheel turning because they largely fixate on unimportant shit. It's always been slow.

I saw Captain Marvel tonight and wanted to share some none spoiler thoughts. First off, let me just say that I've read Kelly Sue DeConnick's Captain Marvel run as well as some of the previous Ms. Marvel series (Carol's series , not Kamala's). I enjoyed both of them and was looking forward to this movie.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. As others have said, it wasn't ground breaking but it was still good. Personally, I would like to see a Captain Marvel sequel before a Dr. Strange sequel.
The marketing for this movie isn't really true to the actual movie but this has happened before with other Marvel movies (like the Nine Inch Nails song used in the first GOTG trailer).
As for Carol's personality and the way Brie Larson portrayed her, I think a lot of it comes down to the way she was written because there were time that I could see the comic book version in Larson's performance. I won't go in to any specifics but (minor spoilers grayed out) the Kree are very clear about what they expect of Carol's behavior within the first 5-10 minutes of the movie and Brie plays it that way. Also, Brie wasn't playing the character to get laughs the way RDJ, Chris Pratt, or Paul Rudd would so she's going to seem more reserved in comparison.

I typically use normal nail polisher remover like you would get at the drug store. I believe the bottle says 100% acetone. I've only ever had success using rubbing alcohol on older Transformers (like from the Classics Era). If the paint is actually staining the figure, then you'll need to just paint over the problem area. Leaving the acetone on the figure for a long period of time or using a stronger paint remover can damage the plastic.

usernamedustin · 03-08-2019, 09:40 PM

Does anyone have a spare Magik head that I could buy from them? I really just need the hair.
I can also trade parts for customs. I mostly have parts for female figures, but I do have a House of M Spider-Man with a broken butterfly joint and an Everett Ross body without a left hand.

lordbest · 03-09-2019, 01:38 AM

Just got back from seeing Captain Marvel, loved it. To me up there with Iron Man as the strongest MCU origin story, but not quite up there with Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok and so forth. But as someone who got into Marvel comics through Carol Danvers and is a huge fanboy for her I was thrilled with what I saw.

Slightly ashamed to say that I thought the exact same thing...

sometahmes i'm reading a comic...and I'm glad to know I have a certain action figure...

Don't be, apparently it was off-putting to a lot of people

It really made no sense in the context of the scene haha

Nice, love Elsa. Though she hardly gets any recognition, it's nice to see some appreciation for the character.

she should definitely be on some team...

actually can we just please bring Nextwave fully to the 616

usernamedustin · 03-09-2019, 12:29 PM

If you take Lilandra's helmet off, she looks a lot like the tv Robocop.

I am still looking for a Magick head if anyone wants to sell or trade parts. I have an extra Silver Sable body I don't need...

The last time I remember anything connecting to Nextwave was when the Captain had a guest spot in an issue of Nova (Sam's run) and he bemoaned the loss of the team, but hey it's something.

Boy Blunder · 03-09-2019, 01:24 PM

If anyone is down here in San Diego today and/or tomorrow, drop by Rocket Con down at the Scottish Rite Center! Lots of booths here selling MLs and the like, including MJK Toys (the booth I'm helping with, total shameless plug)

snake5289 · 03-09-2019, 01:28 PM

I don't know anything about "Nextwave" but Elsa was in Damnation not too long ago.
