That aside, with this release, Dani Moonstar is definitely planted firmly in my top Marvel Legends of the year. Such a great figure after such an extended release. The customization potential's just icing on top.

Looks good, Red.

I just wish Dani's mold was a bit taller...

Thanks, Blue. The height doesn't bother me too much. With this line, the correlation between figure size and character size has never been truly on point. By this point, I guess I'm just really glad to have these gals in some shape or form.

TheBlueMarvel · 11-17-2019, 05:50 PM

^For sure, but it's weird to see Hasbro seemingly address height with certain characters like Snowbird. Whether it was a nod to her demigod status or not, Byrne initially illustrated her as more statuesque than the other females on her team. When comparing the fig's legs to other females based on the inquiry of another poster, her legs are actually longer than some of the other recent adult female figs. Additionally, the way her head sits on her neck, intentional or not, also provides a little more height. Snowbird is definitely my sleeper favorite of the set. After that, it might just be Michael.

Ha! Not at all. In this hobby I've probably been on the good side of "sucks for you" as much as the bad. I'd actually be relieved to know the issues aren't widespread and that Hasbro isn't just mailing it in.

My Alpha Flight seems to have random spot-glossing, but otherwise looks great. It's like someone put glossy finish on a toothbrush, and then flicked the bristles at them.

I spoke too soon. Frozen elbow on Aurora and neck/peg on Vindicator. Also, on second blush, you were right the about the thighs on Snowbird and Aurora being the same. What's different is the length of shin/lower leg, which makes her inseam much higher than that of the other two. And the paint on one of the Shaman figs has a horrible chest app. It's laughable in that you literally laugh when you see how badly it was executed. It almost looks like frayed cloth - making it into a cool patina.

I’ve heard it is difficult to get the Magik head on to the Moonstar body. Did you have to modify it at all?

Oh yes, had to dremel quite a lot to get a decent fit on the Moonstar body. Also, had to dremel out Karma's head a bit to give her a more natural appearance, too.

Great shot! You know what..we need an American Eagle figure and every time I see that Warpath figure, either version, I think about how easy it would be for them to make one...if they have that mold.

Hell, once the Warpath comes out next year, I may just try to do some modifications to the Black outfit Warpath and call it done.

Anyways...going off subject there sorry, truly a great shot!

Would love an American Eagle figure. That would be amazing!

Well done, Red.

Excellent. Did you build that or did it come from another figure?

It was a scratch build.

For any fans of the symbiotes, Mafex Carnage has been shown at the Miyzawa Model Autumn Festival.

Hulk Sh Figuarts with Custom Head (Now This is the incredible hulk) versus Abomination BAF (Love the colors)

P.S. anyone else has had their Convention exclusives from AMAZON.COM delayed? funny that amazon is selling gray hulks but 15 dollars more expensive but my order hasnt been able to ship (it says on the way but delayed)

Spyne98 · 11-19-2019, 05:00 AM

@Redfox, may I ask your recipe for the Black Queen/Selene? I picked up an extra Emma in hopes of doing the same thing. But I’m not sure of a good head to use and that cape looks great!
