I think that's the Lockjaw from the 3.75" SDCC set, which I've heard was a bit oversized.

Might have to pick this one up off of eBay.

EDIT: Also thanks Hasbro for limiting the Inhumans to an SDCC box set -_-. Hopefully we get some good comic ones when the movie comes around.

Looks like it. It's not oversized for the 4" figures it was meant for as traditionally Lockjaw is drawn being quite massive but some recent artists have downsized him so he works with 6" too. His size definitely varies from artist to artist.

BAD MOON · 08-02-2016, 07:31 PM

Yep it's the LJ from the SDCC 3.75 set. Like En said, he can work for both scales. I would still buy a larger LJ if they ever did him as a BAF though.

Captain Nash · 08-02-2016, 07:33 PM

Now ya'll I don't take a lot of pictures so my photo skills do suck, hopefully when I have more space I will be able to do more set ups and get better at pictures.

For now, wanted to share Girls Night! They await Polaris and Queen Dazzler. Maybe I can find a clubby backdrop even for when that happens, so maybe they're just practicing in their boring beige backdrop room for girls night lol.

It looks like the movie is almost all but done for. They said that Agents of Shield now has permission to start using the royal family in the show.

Damn really?

Where did you find this out, if you don't mind me asking?

BAD MOON · 08-02-2016, 08:29 PM

I heard about it from SDCC, though I just Googled and found it quoted on Moviefone. They say the show can use some classic Inhumans.

Hmm. I'm hoping it doesn't necessarily mean they're out of the running, but yeah that doesn't sound too good.

Also did some slight modification to the SDCC Spidey wrist joint in order to allow him to use Pizza Spidey's hands. Now, this is definitely my favorite Spidey figure.

Came out pretty well and he can still use the same hands that he came with which is sorta nice I guess? Lol.

Also, did I mention how much better this hip articulation is?

Only thing preventing him from going even deeper is that he can't move his feet up any higher.

What's this VHS?

Actually, I forgot that thing even existed. That was my introduction to X-Men. Is that available to watch on Youtube or something?

As for looking for the downloads to Evolution, I only seem to be able to find TV rips of the fourth season. WTF? TV rips are atrocious to watch on an HDTV.

How did you modify it?

I can't decide between he Blob wave She-hulk which I love despite its terrible articulation, Marvel Now Storm, Hela and Spider-Gwen. For a BAF, probably the Hulkbuster.

Oh, good, I give it 12 episodes until Medusa gets killed to make one of the main male characters sad. Unless they include her sister in which case there is probably a 20% chance one of the might survive the season.

The Pizza Spidey has larger pegs at the end of his wrists, which doesn't allow them to peg all the way into the Raft Spidey. This can be remedied by shaving or sanding down that cone shaped peg a bit, similar to what I did here with the Reilley Scarlett Spider hands here in order to get them to work with the Kaine Scarlett Spider figure...

Since I was at work and wasn't able to answer the favorite Marvel Legends question...Here's my personal faves....

ToyBiz: Punisher (series 4) This sculpt and articulation are just about perfect, and hold up to this day. Wonky hip joints aside, this to me is still THE DEFINITIVE Punisher figure. I don't think the new Walgreens "War Zone" Punisher will be topping it either. That figure doesn't even have trigger finger hands.

ToyBiz BAF: Sentinel. I still can't get over how much detail and articulation this guy has. Accept no substitutes.

Hasbro: Anti-Venom. Yeah...not the popular choice I know, but it's a somewhat biased one being that I loved his run in the comics (I actually started reading them again because of him) until he was unceremoniously martyred with that Spider Island nonsense. I never thought we'd ever get an Anti-Venom figure either, so the fact that Hasbro decided to give him to us in the first place put him just slightly ahead of the Absorbing Man Venom, which would have been my top pick otherwise.

Hasbro BAF: Juggernaut and Giant Man were really good, but Rhino wins out for me in a landslide. I LOVE the sculpt, and the fact that his articulation is so good is the icing on the cake. I didn't want this figure initially because I still adore my Fearsome Foes boxset Rhino and thought he was perfect, but this BAF completely blew away my expectations.

SymbiSpidey · 08-02-2016, 11:05 PM

Man, I really need to get my hands on that Scarlet Spider.

I have no idea where Pryde of the X-Men might be online.

As for Evo downloads, sometimes you've gotta make do. Or search long and hard. Either way, buena suerte!

It's on YouTube. I have seen it on DVD at comic cons, but it's probably a burned copy.

Black Bolt was first in the Nemesis wave.

Then Black Bolt and Medusa were in the SDCC 2014 set.

I think that's it though? I really wish they'd make a Maximus and a Crystal. Only after that a Gorgon, Karnak and Triton. After that (aside from the upcoming Ms. Marvel and Luna which as a kid would likely not get made) I don't even know who any other Inhumans are. I know there must be more.

warmachine6 · 08-03-2016, 09:38 AM

wonder if we shall see the inhumans movie was meant to be with marvels movie line then got taken away
