Truth be told, he actually didn't do a terrible job. It's just that Wesley made it his own and ruined the chances of reprisal of the role...maybe Idriss? dunno...

I wasn't feeling Sticky Fingaz as Blade or the look that came with him....but I must say that whatever this is, cancelled ML or bogus custom, it's a better use of that MCU Nick Fury/Punisher buck...

I think it's just a head from China popped on a Nick Fury body :P Kinda misleading by the picture, haha. Didn't the official Blade use the Winter Soldier body?

@Arbor

...actually, I think you are right. If I'm recalling correctly, I think it had the comic winter soldier legs and an overcoat...but then again, that may be the same recipe as the the MCU Fury/Punisher buck...I'm confusing myself now (happens often...a little too often) and I'm too lazy to cross-reference web pics...

"Amazon will expand on its toy and apparel offerings for the characters"

After reading, I don't think we'll see a wave of figures. Something about the wording of the sentences is throwing me off. I'm thinking it'll be more like an Amazon exclusive multi-pack, similar to the Age of Ultron one. Hopefully, I'm wrong. The more figures, the merrier.

Yup, looks like he uses the same chest flap too

It's a shame he was never released too, it'd be an easy way for collectors to display the alternate Bucky head, haha. (you'd just have to paint the neck!)

Yeah. That's Sam Jackson Nick Fury's body.

And I saw some other bulls*** where someone was trying to pass off a Spider-man body with a Superior Spider-Man head as a rare variant.

... I want a new She-Hulk figure.

Trivial Psychic · 11-20-2015, 09:10 PM

I had mentioned that Blade a few days ago on this thread. The seller described it as being a custom, using the three pack Nick Fury body, along with what the seller claimed was the original cancelled head sculpt. He was packaging the figure with no accessories other than a cheaply casted sword. The original Blade figure was also supposed to come with the large barrel type machine gun that recently came out with the Chameleon according to early photos. Shame the guy didn't send that sculpt out to be casted by a professional, he would have been doing the community a service, as I've been working on a Blade custom using the same exact buck from an extra NF figure I have. Only thing keeping me from finishing it honestly has been finding the right casted head sculpt for the job so that I'm not going to have slobber sculpy all over it.

I know this has probably been asked a lot but any suggestions for reasonable priced bodies for the Jameson and/or Hammerhead heads? Thanks.

If you are going for the suit look, buying two more Chameleon figures is probably the easiest and cheapest right now.

True but then they all look the same. Trying, if possible, to get away from that.

The only other suited Legends characters I can think of are Coulson from the TRU 3 pack or Banner from the Amazon 4 pack.

If you want to try your hand at customizing, you could also try painting the suits different colors. Heck you could make it really subtle and just change up the tie while leaving the rest the same.

You could always use a Mattel WWE suit body for Hammerhead, they're pretty large and imposing, plus they usually come in two packs or as BAF's (sidenote, those are the lamest BAF's ever, haha)

Trivial Psychic · 11-21-2015, 01:00 PM

Gotham city thugs and Harvey Dent from Mattel's The Dark Knight (Movie Masters.) You will have to do a small bit of work as the head will not fit on the ball peg, but it's an easy custom. I've done a custom or two in the past using these bodies, and while slightly smaller, the still scale well with Marvel Legends and have adequate articulation.

Gotham Thugs tend to run pretty cheap on ebay, with Harvey averaging out at about 20 dollars shipped.

That is what I am going to do on mine. Repaint the Ties.

Marvel Legends Infinite Series Savage Force Chameleon - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

This might be the best bet for you. Last day they are on sale is today. 11/21/15 OR you can try and find a code on HTS at some point.

wolvie34 · 11-21-2015, 02:43 PM

Thanks for the ideas. I am not a customiser so I will look into the other bodies.

...I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change

I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change

It's like you never had wings

I look at the cross
Then I look away
Gave you the gun
Blow me away

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change

And you feel alive
You feel alive
You feel alive
I've watched you change

It's like you never had wings

You changed
You changed
You changed...

Wait...Raf, did you get more? Or are you just showing off again, cause that's just mean...lol

Yes, I'm completely off topic, but I have a question to my fellow collectors. I am going to sell my FinFangFoom and I want to know 'in your honest opinions', what you think I should list it for. Really it boils down to what it's worth today, and will there ever be another foom down the line?

Is there a true value to this item? Or is it solely subjective to e hardcore ML fan?
