Finished my Black Panther custom today. Used the 2099 Spider-Man body, and a casting cave Black Panther head.

Kind of surprised that they're actually limiting them, which is pretty cool.

He's now got a Lyra body up, and I am very tempted with it, I just have no clue what head to put on it. Just like if a Moonstar is to go up.

For Dani, you could perhaps re-paint a 2-pack Valkyrie head. If you're not into custom-making, you could find one of the many talented customizers here to do it for you.

Have you read X-Factor? I liked Rahne in that, but yes I see what you mean about her. Magma would make a GREAT figure. In fact, you could use a Misty Knight body for a custom of her... Apart from that though, Moonstar and Cannonball need to be made as MLs. It's such a shame that they were the victims in the Marvel/Fox divorce.

Man...that came out really good. The 2099 body works great for him. How was the head for BP casted? Was it done in a black plastic, or was it done in flesh tone and you had to paint the rest.

I have remorse for leaving BP on the shelf when I had him in my hands years ago. He's now one of the characters I need to fill out my Avengers team, and the price for some reason has just skyrocketed into the unreasonable area for me...

Thanks! The head was cast in a grey plastic. I base coated the whole figure with a pretty dark blue color, then dry brushed on the black. I also had to do some dremel work on the head cavity, because it just didn't sit right on the ball joint.

Same here. I saw him once at a Walmart and I just couldn't get over the blue that was painted on the figure, so I passed. He is pretty expensive now, and I imagine it will keep climbing up in price the closer we get to Civil War and beyond (unless he gets a re-release of some sort, which will probably happen).

Charliegone · 07-19-2015, 03:41 PM

Sigh...people just can't help themselves I guess. Some guy probably went ahead and asked him "is that the ultra rare unreleased Phoenix Five Cyclops you have on sale right there or not?"...of course the seller picked up on it and increased the price to an insane amount...seriously people keep him in the dark...keep prices low!!! I wasn't going to pick it up anyways...not much different than the other cyclops mold, it probably isn't worth as much without the top red chest plate thing. BTW I got the Lyra mold at the bin price of 30 bucks..no bad. Glad I went ahead and bought it. Increased in price after that!

They usually always post one as an auction and once the price starts rising on that one, they realize that they've priced the others too low.

Yup true, but the seller didn't know what the mold was he originally had put unknown..someone (probably an interested buyer) told him and he picked up on it of course. That's why I don't ask questions. I've noticed some sellers will increase the price if you do because they know you're interested. Seen it done many times over the years on fleabay.

ultraman zoffy · 07-19-2015, 05:38 PM

Lol at the prices for the headless figures going up... guess the seller wised up. Not so smart though for him to charge retail price for headless figures that are still widely available. Glad I got in on the 4 I bought early.

Dr Kain · 07-19-2015, 08:54 PM

So did Hasbro ever give a reason as to why there is not movie Yellow Jacket figure? It just doesn't make sense to fill up the entire wave with comic characters and not do the movie character. Unless they are planning another Ant-man wave that is.

kylactus · 07-19-2015, 09:07 PM

Maybe he's follow the trend and end up as a BAF in one of the up coming movie waves, like Cap 3?

Not likely. Cap 3 BAF will be Red Skull/Onslaught.

He seems to be a reasonably popular character and he also comes with BAF pieces for Rocket who has skyrocketed in popularity since the movie. That whole wave (including those without BAF pieces) has jumped in price over the last couple months or so too.

Yup I got the Emma Frost, AOA Jean Grey, Jean Grey Wolverine, Lyra and the Phoenix body mold for very very decent prices. I jumped on it soon because I knew people would jump on them and that the seller would get info from the buyers on what these actually are. He raised the price on the Satana headless one to about 80 bucks I think..no way no one bites on that. You can get a new one with head and cap for less than that!
