New Marvel Legends/6" Appreciation Thread

decepticon_mark · 03-08-2015, 08:46 AM

Working on a Typhoid Mary custom but need help from my fellow arkers. Any ideas for a leather jacket for her? Preferably one that already has sleeves. Any help is appreciated as well as comments on the WIP.

My Angela and my Gamora are side by side and she's perfect in scale.

The X-Men movie concept movie costume Rouge came with a decent coat, if I recall. I used it for my Spider-Punk.

The MAC IKON exclusive Buffy figures came with leather jackets that are waist length. They might be a snug fit on that body though.

Here's how I made the whole shot and eliminate the stands manually:

Maybe my standards for articulation have just been lowered by DC Collectibles (I mean, look at the lack of dramatic variation in these poses...) but these last few Marvel Legends seem to be pretty amazing to me. I don't even intend to keep this Iron Fist, but he's been holding a pretty kick-ass pose on my shelf for the last several days. Consider me impressed.

Also, Scarlet Witch's accessory goes great with New 52 Zatanna.

Honestly, I think I'm going to go all-in and sell my 3.75" collections and start collecting these guys. The main reason I kept my MU display is because I could have a Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider in my diorama, but if the ML one doesn't somehow get canceled, that excuse is moot.

Yeah, I did repaint the eyes on that Cap along with everything else on that figure.

Thought so,the eyes on him are always so bad!

305Batman · 03-09-2015, 12:32 PM

Well that settles it, I'm sending you mine once I get it. That's disappointing that it will not look that good. You made me want that figure, so cruel.

Zorn88 · 03-09-2015, 04:15 PM

I just saw the Iron Fist Hero Masher at TRU today and wondered if his dragon energy accessory can compliment the new ML Iron Fist. Anybody have both of those that could comment?

TheBlueMarvel · 03-09-2015, 09:27 PM

Finally received my Allfather and Spiderman infinite waves..

Symbiote appreciation...

I love all of the news we got from Toyfair, but I am waiting so anxiously for more news about that Magik and Dormammu shown at SDCC. I've heard some speculation that it might be a Mystic themed set for SDCC 2015, but I'm leaning more towards a Marvel Now Uncanny X-men set.

Pizza Spidey is pretty close to perfect. The outward hips are disappointing, not sure why Hasbro is suddenly afraid to show joints on the outside of the hip sculpt. Also could use a toe joint because the ankle tilts prevent a deep bend for spider-crouching. Tampos and paint are surprisingly good. I had to fill in a little black on the chest spider, but those inside muscle-crevice tampos are always a little weak.

Daredevil is okay. Really could have used swap out fists and his weapons are kinda garbage.

Haven't opened 2099 yet but I bought it only cause his costume is cool. I don't know anything about him.

Ha those last two pics are great!!

Excellent shots, T16. =) Quick tip for folks that have both DD and Spidey... stripping off the weblines and shortening up the joint peg on Spidey's spare hands will give you some sweet alt hands (perfectly matched red) to use on your Daredevil. I had 2 Spideys for modding purposes, so the set of hands from one of them was donated to DD. Adds some nice expressive options for poses.

EDIT: parts sold, Gwen moved to eBay

Also, slightly related, selling a Spider-Gwen #1 sketch cover Marvel Spider Gwen 1 Sketch Cover Original Art Gwen Stacy Spider Woman | eBay

Thanks

... I have several Bandai Tamashii Nations Stages, but I also use flight stands that I make out of wire hangers.

And that is a custom Astonishing Cyclops, and that was once of the very first customs that I ever made. That is still one of my favorite Cyclops costumes.

Noticing an influx of SHIELD boxsets on ebay by US sellers. Granted they're gouging the prices but guess it's bout time for the hunt to begin.

Hopefully they'll hit as hard as the X-Men box set. TRU single carded exclusives (like the X-Men Jubes wave) suck bad distribution wise, but their box sets generally seem plentiful.

Got my Odin Legensd in today. Working on updates for my site now. Selling the set for $150 + shipping. Still have Hobgoblin set for $135
