I will work on getting one. She is in a box with all the other new ML that I have not made room for. :-)

Here is a fun and easy one with just some paint. I might do his nails later on.
Dark Beast...

And Domino came out nicely I think...

Great customs marvelmando! I've picked up a few Widow figures now that they're cheap enough in order to army build female Shield agents, but Domino on that body is a great idea as well. =)

Thanks UltraZoff. That Widow buck is not the best but definitely works for certain characters.

What is the head used for Domino?? I keep wanting to make a custom for her, but I will use the Mystique body. I like the sexier Domino :-)

This is the Wolverine Marvel Legends Emma in the cape from the Marvel Select White Queen figure. I have to use the arms to support the cape as the MS had a bigger build to her.

The more seductive reveal

Byrnes · 10-21-2014, 01:37 PM

Hmmm. Thanks for the photos phantomcrow. Really helped sway me in the other direction. Not that it looks bad, just to much material covering the front in my opinion. I think I would prefer something much smaller. like this:

*Maybe the cape from The Vision can be customized a little. Or maybe just wait and see what comes with the new Valkyrie.

When into Walgreen's getting some snacks for lunch...then decide to check the toy section...Carnage and Electro...took Carnage of course...and discounted with a Walgreen's card....so waiting paid off somewhat...I know others on the site have suggested me to buy them online...but to the collectors...is there something to be said for the chase of the figure, and the opportunity to see other toys in the stores? Maybe, just me, but sometimes fresh air and finding that figure (stoked to find Carnage) in the wild does my some good...Not trying to sound sappy, but you collectors get my drift...Well, find that figure and collect, collect, collect, but do not going in to debt, Ha!

I like "getting" things at retail, but not chasing them around blindly. I call ahead before going anywhere nowadays and have someone put the item I'm looking for on hold, and it's worked out a lot better than randomly sweeping all the stores in an area. The only stores I don't bother calling (or even going to) are Wal-Mart and TRU; their employees seem to have almost zero knowledge about what's going on in their stores or how to find anything in them.

Wish a new classic style Thanos figure would be made, especially now he's getting more popular

Spyne98 · 10-21-2014, 04:32 PM

They showed pics of a new Thanos from SDCC

Wasn't that the newer style Thanos though, with the blue hands and that weird coathook thing hanging off his back? Not to mention the patented "Jim Lee armor" style lines, haha.

Thanks. It is a cast I made from Hope. I have gotten a lot of miles from that mold.

VashTS · 10-21-2014, 05:31 PM

Glad we are getting a THanos BAF, hoping for a Hulkbuster....I would kill for AOA Apocalypse at some point.

Bought my agent venom today...was the discount in effect still? I did not use my Walgreens card and paid $20.

Actually went looking for Black Series Prototypes....but Agent was there.

AOA Apocalypse would rock!

Captain Nash · 10-22-2014, 07:09 AM

With the Marvel TV shows coming up and Daredevil being one of the shows, I would not be opposed to a BAF Kingpin. The Face Off one is nice but I would love for there to be an even larger one.

Spyne98 · 10-22-2014, 07:28 AM

I was thinking about Magneto the other day. I never really liked to original Toy Biz Legends version (since it was an Iron Man repaint) and the new Hasbro one is ok, but not great. My favorite Magneto is the X-Men Classics. That mold is awesome, but the coloring it a bit off and he has weird cybernetic stuff on him. I made this digibash thinking it would be a cool custom project and a decent magneto.

New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread-magneto.jpg

I ordered an extra version of the base toy and once he arrives, I'm going to start.
I also want an extra Beast from the All New X-Men box set to make the Beast figure that's attached. The Beast is an easy repaint that I wish Hasbro would do.

I'm new at digibashing, so these aren't perfect, but you get the idea.

Kirathis · 10-22-2014, 10:01 AM

Snagged the Target Legends 3 pack by having an electronics rep check to see if the were in stock. Some info for others looking.

The dcpi provided here worked great. In case you do not have it, 087-06-1200.

The case contains 4 sets. If you have the ability to choose, definitely pay attention to Ms. Marvel. Lots of paint issues in the legs area especially.

There were no variants with glowing eyes or a maskless head so if they actually exists it does not appear to be a mix in a case.

I also should mention the rep told me they are not supposed to be shelved until next week but there is not a street date on the box. It rang up just fine at $50.

Did you mean they ARE suppose to be shelved until next week? No wonder I haven't seen any. Thanks for the info.

ultraman zoffy · 10-22-2014, 04:13 PM

Caved and bought 2 more of the Target set today since they're easy to find now in my area and, for the price, make for great fodder parts. Now I just have to decide which customs to make with all these these base bodies... =)

warmachine6 · 10-23-2014, 05:27 AM

So just seen the new

for avengers age of ultron and Im sad to say that we possibly wont be getting that glorious HB armor as a figure maybe as model or if were really lucky we might get one from marvel select its one of those dreams that might come true but is unlikely i kinda do and hate hasbro for going to the comic root and hope that hulk was sold as he was meant to be and we get an awesome baf which i think is thanos but un sure only time will tell maybe at a Jan - April con will tell us more hopefully well see a whole wave together rather than a few figures
