@TBM, Now you're talking my language! Firstly, that posing on Pietro is absolutely on point. As for Mr Dukes, Blob will always be on the top of my 'Most Wanted' list.. what an exceptional figure!
As for your other photos, well, the use of that metal plate/wall for Magneto v Hulk is inspired, and using the Impact Tamashii effect as Avalanche's earthquake is a lovely touch.

Are you sure you're not an A.C.B.A-er?

Though top of the curiosity list are Epic Heroes Mystique and Domino (from the Domino/Cannonball two-pack)

Hmm... I don't know how you two feel about customising, but I would definitely recommend putting a Misty Knight upper torso/holster on a Wasp body, repaint, and you'll have a lovely Domino! The official figure is... She's alright, but her proportions and articulation is clunky, and for the price she'll be fetching now I don't know whether you'd want a figure that's noticeably not that great.

Thank you very much! I'm loving them all...but then again, it's one of my favorite characters.

Yeah, that Domino isn't worth it, same for the X-Treme Rogue. The joints are super wobbly. You'd have hoped Marvel could have given us a Deadpool wave and an X-Men wave with a new Cable, Domino, Colossus BAF and a few others.

@Von

Thanks for the compliment on Quicksilver and my Brotherhood vs Banner set-up! Nah, the A.C.B.A. crowd are all professionals that put my stuff to shame. lol They're pros and I leave the pro stuff to them. I do 'regular-Joe' hobby stuff on the top of my bookshelf...and I'm good with that!

We're on the same page with Blob. The fig represents a wild departure from the form typical to Legends BAFs. The Blob might be upsetting to most sensibilities, but it's truly a unique toy...and he's a Hulk enemy, so there was little chance that I would be passing him up!

I have to agree on Domino, but I still think I may be able to make her look interesting in spite of the fig's shortcomings....

Not sure if it's been shared or not, but the Cap wave is in stock at Walmart.com with free shipping over $50. Link is below. Should be sorted by newest.

I must say I do love the Figuarts Hulk. He might be a little lime green, and his nipples look surreal as heck, but he's fantastic!

@ChuckSass, Despite the X-wave rumour, I'm still betting that we'll see a Deadpool/Cable/Domino combo at some point. Especially Neena, as she'd be so easy for them to make..

@TBM, Modesty is an admirable quality, but trust me that your posing skills are certainly of the caliber and above that of the A.C.B.A crew. Granted, they have to contend with those "no visible stands, no wires" rules, but you make some A-class shots. Now take the darn compliment!

In regards to Blob, he is a behemoth of a figure that never should have been made, and by all rights he was. I'm aghast that Hasbro managed to pull him off with such skill back in their early days!

Right, I've given up on that bendy wire, but Daredevil does look pretty cool with it whipping around him. I recommend people give it a shot to add that extra flare to their display!

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Von

Picture fest!! haha! Great set-up, dude! I love the Goliath pose and DD is straight out of a comic! See, your posing talents are why I'm excited to improve. I look at your poses and see where I could improve my own technique! Nice stuff!

EDIT: forgot to mention the fly snake-fist hand postures for Danny!

Did you change the hands out on your machine man ?

[VonPooten]

@TBM, Well, I guess I better take my own medicine and accept the compliment! I'll go full-on English for it, cheers a right bunch, mate! With these new bucks, Hasbro are offering us new levels of realism and fluidity, and bringing that into poses is very achievable, so now it's just about practice!
Oh and, of course, I had to place Danny in one of the greatest martial art stances; it was a no-brainer!

I did indeed! He's currently sporting Iron Fist hands, grasping forward and shouting what I believe to be "My robot brain requires beer, fleshy ones!!"

@VonPooten is spidey being held with an obitsu stand

[Byrnes]

Picked up SpiderGwen, Morbeus, Venom and Jack yesterday. I had no plans on getting any of thelse, but they were way better in hand then in photos.

That's awesome bro. I get exited reading about all the hulk stories here and how much fun it was to play with them back in the day! I still feel the same way every time I see a Hulk figure.

I'm obviously not VonPooten but that is an Obitsu stand or something exactly the same.

[VonPooten]

Yes it is an Obitsu stand! They're the best figure stands out there, very durable with weight, adjustable height, and you insert the screws yourself so the joints are great.

Thankyou

[TheBlueMarvel]

Enjoy digging out North Easterners, that's what I'll be doing following this post...figures, and then responsibilities! lol

























...sorry about the number of pics. I can never decide what to post and what to leave behind...

[Dreadnox]

^^^^ Super Nice pics as always Blue! I've needed Quicksilver in my collection for years but I haven't been able to find the blue one under $50 bucks and I just hadn't wanted to spend that much. Not a fan of the green and I held out last year hoping we were going to get an updated one but it may be time to give in.

Morbius review is up..

I FULLY agree! They are fantastic little stands. Particularly for the price. The trick there is buying enough at a time to offset the shipping cost from Japan. When I bought mine, buying 10 at once put them to a price of about $3 a stand including shipping.

For those considering them, keep one thing in mind. They are great but the base is light. You will either need to weigh the base down, attach the bottom with an adhesive of some kind or my personal preference; learn to manipulate the stand to provide a counter-balance for your figure.

TBM's Magneto pic (also using Obitsu stands if I am not mistaken) also shows off just how versatile these stands are. Multiple layers of stand to achieve an exact pose all counter-balanced. That's the other great thing about these stands, they are modular.

No, seriously........... :^P

I don't suppose you'd trade Ultron and Stark from that second pack for rare ML or other figures? If so, hit me up. I have a ton of stuff:

Don't hate mate, lol...if I had three I'd hook you up in a heartbeat. One is for my loose collection and the other for my MOC one. That's why I had to get 2.
