What's the recipe? I recognize Kitty Pryde as the base, and Mockingbird's hair, but beyond that I'm stumped. Amazing job!

The entire head is Mockingbird. She actually has a really beautiful and we'll done face sculpt underneath those glasses of hers.

Can't say I know where the sword is from, but I'm sure that you can probably find a decent one from any number of lines. The Kitty Pryde XMEN uniform body hasn't failed to impress me in its versatility thus far!

Thanks. Thats all Mockingbird in the head. The Shoulder pauldron is from BVS aquaman. Silver paint. Sword from a scheleigh figure.

Yeah Mockingbird got a really nice noggin there. Kitty is really awesome for custom, my next project will be Rahne Sinclair.

Do u guys like the newer vision? My toy biz one seems outdated and floppy. I have a new vision ordered to do my hulkbuster, wonder if I should keep the new one and sell off my old one.

Anyone have a Giant man BAF head?

The only thing I don't like about the Hulkbuster wave Vision is the over-complicated design, I guess I like it more than the ANAD Vision but I prefer the simpler looks. It had some really loose joints but the Target three pack white Vision is actually my favorite right now. You don't have to sell off the ol' Toy Biz one just because you're getting a new Hasbro one, because they sport different looks you can totally just keep both.

All of the new Vision figures are decent, however the Hulkbuster one was the one that I actually ended up liking the least. The paint apps were all over the place, and the cape was really annoying to deal with.

My favorite version of the three recently released figures was the clear Vision from the target 3 pack, although the new Vision that appears in the Sam Wilson/Kate Bishop 3 pack is pretty good as well. About my only complaint with either of those two is a lack of open hands for the gestures that Vision is commonly known for.

So true! After buying Kitty, I instantly head-swapped all of my female figures. Too much fun.

Thank you! You should make one, I made one cause I cant stomach how much Magik is going for in the secondary market, besides I dont really like that version.

@ Ken dont you wanna wait for the next wolvie in the next wave?? Isnt that the yellow blue jim lee version??

@BlueMarvel love the shots especially Namor! Wheres the surfer??

TheBlueMarvel · 09-17-2016, 10:41 AM

@Red
Thanks, I like 'em dynamic lol

@Lapu
Thanks, man. I just photoed him. Although, you are right, he's glaringly missing from my Defenders 'founding fathers' picture. As much as I love my TB Surfer (all of my TB figs, really), a conversation on another toy-site has reignited the burning fire I have to get a new Surfer figure. Mini-boycott, I guess? It won't last long. I've been champing at the bit to do something I've had in mind with Surfer and that set-up with Imperiex was sort of a dry run. I doubt this idea can wait for Hasbro to deliver a new Radd...

ol-skool Edit:

A little appreciation of today's haul.

Harbinger · 09-17-2016, 11:38 AM

Just scored a sw black 6 inch Captain phasma for four bucks at failmart. Sadly no flame troopers or guavians. And all targets around me just have finns and zuvios.

I generally keep 1 of each character, antman and baf giantman will be my exception

What's wrong with cape

The cape on my figure doesn't peg very well into his back and falls off really easily. The other two figures I have do not have this issue, so I don't know if it's my figure or if it was a problem with the Hulkbuster Vision overall.
