I use museum putty to fill the gaps for loose heads. It works great and causes no damage to the figures.

I was thinking Domino. I have the one from the 2 pack from a few years back, I would like a more classic looking one. I might go that route. I like Baroness idea, but I would want more 6" Joes.

That bugs me t no end!

You can also paint over the ball peg with clear nail polish. A few coats can be very good in filling in space, as well as tightening joints.

Awesome! Thank you both for great suggestions. That was irritating me greatly earlier.

Just tried a few pieces of paper towel and it worked very well. I will probably opt for something like the putty in the log term but this worked great for now.

Hrm, I cannot find it either. Time to do some GoogleFu and hope it is strong today.

[Kirathis]

Oh another Amazon heads up. If anyone still needs the EE Guardians set, it's on Amazon right now for $94.05 with Prime.

[Dr Kain]

I figured soething out. I just stuffed a bit of the card board from wrapping paper in the head and it attached to the Coulson peg without an issue.

I actually found it initially using google. then I tried "marvel legends shield" on TRU search and it popped up as well

[wolverine2281]

"shield legends" worked as well. Might as well post the link while I have it

Ah ok, there's the disconnect. Decepticon_Mark was inquiring about the Target Ultron/Hulk/Vision pack which is what I thought you said you just bought.

[wolverine2281]

my bad. I don't know where I was reading about the TRU pack. The target pack is no longer available online

[Boy Blunder]

Hey, I saw some mention of weapons a few posts ago, and I was wondering, does anyone have any recommendations of a fencing foil/rapier that's in scale with the ML figures? I have a Toy Biz Nightcrawler, and for the longest time I've given him a sword stolen from DC Direct Teen Titans Deathstroke (as seen in this photo), but not only is it not quite the right style, but due to Nightcrawler's finger joints, his ability to hold it depends on numerous unseen factors (like what phase the moon is in that day).

Any suggestions?

[decepticon_mark]

Nevermind, duh moment

Dang they're really trying to get rid of those like crazy.

Yeah they should be able to do a price adjustment for you.

Haha I'm the opposite sort of, I had to make a decision and get rid of most of my ML's now, as much as I love Marvel, kind of sticking with Marvel Koto statues and 3.75 for now. Plus there's a few ML's out there that I missed and don't want to spend more then necessary to get them right now. Anyone need the Domino/CB 2 pack, I got it for 80 so wanting to get my $ back for what I paid for it. PM me if interested. But yeah I feel you on the TF's to a certain degree, but the fact that they can do more then Marvel has me sold.

Damn, if this lasts until I get some more fundage, those three are so bought.

For me, I guess part of it is nostalgia - I spent a good portion of the 1990s collecting Toy Biz's Marvel lines, so seeing good-quality figures at retail hits that sweet spot for me. Also, with the Transformers, I just feel that lately I'm more likely to get my money's worth with an ML (or an imported TF in certain cases) - Combiner Wars has really worn me down with the mold reuse. I know ML is also guilty of that, but it doesn't seem to be as glaring as it is with TFs.

I scanned one while I was in-store yesterday. According to the scanner the sale runs through 12/5.

Yeah I grabbed one or two of the Toybiz ones back in the days, but not as heavy collecting as I am now. 3.75 is where I'll stay for now. And if I had to get rid of those, would start with the non X-Men essentials. Although I should have stuck with ML X-Men stuff only but again space is always the issue for me :P And it's too late now too haha.

i noticed you cant even find them around my parts..... and yea i also saw they took them off their site as well.

[wolverine2281]

I need to grab them from my Target. I've got an Ultron with a broken leg

Yeah, it has been really hit or miss for finding them. Some have a surplus, others like ours never received it.

I would not be surprised if they took it off the site because they discovered their error with the DCPI number and the last set which was allowing people to price match it.

Thanks!

I actually purchased a plexi bender a few years ago. Made a couple displays and it has been sitting in my garage ever since. I wanted clear risers so that the light would not get completely blocked on the first shelf.

The plexi bender was cheap, but I had to assemble it myself. It is basically the coil that heats up in toasters and hair dryers streched in a straight line. I made all those risers for about $30
