Wow very nice display and collection there.

I did but ended up dropping it from BBTS in favor of the free shipping from EE, although did anyone else get their top cards bent by the case? Mine was like that when I opened them obviously it's not EE's fault more so on Hasbro's I guess...but man the figures are sure as nice!

Nice collection...where do you sleep...lol...

I just bought the Blade head cast fTom Clay. How did you guys (those of you who made the custom Blade figures) fit the head on there, since the peg hole seems a bit too small to fit on certain bodies. Did you have to do any modifications?

Your best bet is to get a dremel and to work it around the edge of the peg hole just slightly. Don't rush it, as you could take too much off of it and it ends up not fitting.

Just watched JayC's review of the upcoming Walgreens Punisher. I can't believe that of all the figures that they forget to put trigger finger hands on, THIS is the character they opt to forget them on.

Way to goof on that one Hasbro...

Dr Kain · 07-06-2016, 10:03 PM

Well they did also give him incorrectly colored guns.

Well...I wouldn't say the SMAW or the M60 he comes with is incorrectly colored, although the M60 he comes with bears a color scheme more in line to the British L86-A2 than it does the M60, although I have seen M-60's with colored schemes before. Those weapons don't bother me too much.

That round drum shotgun though?...erm...yeah. At least it's white so it should be an easy item to repaint.

Still though...no trigger finger hands? What makes it worse is that the new Punisher is on the Grim Reaper body, so if you try and kitbash trigger hands from other figures (like say Batroc...who came with 2 trigger hands for some reason...) they'll be slightly too small and will look off.

All their budget must have went into Deadpool, who has a raised "tea drinking pinky" on one of his trigger hands...

@Sybmi....ya..dremel will be your new best friend (has lots of other uses too..plus they are relatively inexpensive)
..and the Don't rush it part is key...i ALWAYYYYYS do a little at a time and try it out...you can always take more off..but if you take too much off..there's no going back.
(well there is but now you're talking putty)
Compare the inside of the blade head to the inside of a head that fits the peg you're using...now you see where you need to be...

..and wear protective eyewear..little bits fly err'where..

I second what everyone else is saying. Use a Dremel and take your time.

...I'm surprised to learn that the Juggernaut's helmet is removable.

It is? Pictures?

@Spyne

Go to Fwoosh...

Edit: Never mind...it's a Kitbash.

Captain Nash · 07-07-2016, 06:47 AM

Yay my X-Men wave has shipped! Thank you for the encouragement yesterday BM!

Captain Nash · 07-07-2016, 07:06 AM

ooooh they 3.75" scale SDCC Exclusive has been revealed...so hopefully we will see this line's exclusive today/tomorrow. I'm going to try for both if the rumors are true (they were for the 3.75" line), but if I can only get one it's gonna be the 6" one no question.

warmachine6 · 07-07-2016, 08:14 AM

Contacted the company i bought the x-men wave from said end of this month !!! over here

... then again better than what an alternative store had which was September

i think they might be in my hands in august... i hope

a simple head cast by the looks of it wonder where he\she got it.
EDIT- Original TB ML Juggernaut

Kirathis · 07-07-2016, 08:22 AM

@DTL
Nice on the wash! Let me know how it works out. I did not mention the flower ties. I have only used the clear and black figure ties. Be curious to see those too.

Ah dammit! I only collect Cosmic based 3.75" figures and if course that's the SDCC exclusive. With Lockjaw in it I bet that set will go FAST.

SymbiSpidey · 07-07-2016, 08:27 AM

@Trivial Psychic @DarkToyLord @Spyne98 Thanks for the advice! Looks like I'm going to be picking up a dremel soon.
