I can see me screwing it up and being out a BW fig. The hair doesn’t seem to sit hight at all as far as I can tell. Looks excellent like I said already.

Don't be afraid to try. We all start somewhere. Start small and cheap, and work your way up from there. I'm by no means a pro (there are people who are WAY better at this than me,) but I've only been able to get to this point by trying and (occasionally) screwing up along the way. You can do it.

For Iron Spidey, I drew a point where I wanted the back pack to sit, and once I was satisfied, used my dremel to drill a hole in the back using a 1/16 drill bit. The backpack from the basic figure has a peg on both sides, and while some folks use the one on the back, I wanted the back pack to be the proper way, meaning I had to shave down the peg on the front side, which has a weird shape similar to a trapezoid. Used my dremel to sand down the peg into something more cylindrical, with a lot of spot checks in between to make sure I wouldn't oversand, and make sure it would peg in and fit.



It sat a little wobbly at first in the back, but from there, I placed a little bit of Krazy Glue on the sanded down peg on the back pack, plugged it into the figure, and twisted and worked it a bit. Pulled the back pack off the figure, and then allowed the glue to cure. Now the pack sits solidly on the figure, and doesn't slide around, move, or fall off once pegged.

Here's how the pack looks from the back and the side. It looks a bit large, but it is an illusion really and it doesn't bother me all that much. It's similar to the Superior Venom/Lasher it terms of bulk in actuality, it just looks bigger due to the smaller frame on the MCU Spideys.



Finished touching up these guys today as well. Need to get a couple of more so I can make use of the rest of the heads that came with my 10A Red Skull...

[redfox]

Used the store searching tool from GameStop and saw that one of my nearby stores has the very last two figures that I ABSOULUTELY NEED to complete my current toy hunt, X-23verine & Psylocke!! Gonna swing by there asap after work tomorrow to hopefully complete my current crusade.

Awesome seriously thank you for the tutorial! Im gonna give it a shot haha.

Apocalypse is one thing, even though the scale was super disappointing. Its still a larger fig. Can understand why. Not sure why they do these standard sized BAFs. Makes no sense.

How was the scale disappointing? He is exactly the size he should be. Did you want him to be as tall as a Sentinel?

Sasquatch body is too big.

Maybe not that tall, but he's the same height as Colossus. I was hoping for a little bit of height... Unless my memory is getting faulty, I thought even at normal height he was taller than most.

Well Colossus is also taller than most people. Most official heights say Apocalypse naturally stands at close to 7' tall, shape-shifting is just something he does so often that most people are more accustomed to his enlarged state. I'd actually like for Hasbro to use the Colossus body to make a classic Apocalypse either as an individual in a future wave or as part of a multipack.

As much as I miss the scale of the ToyBiz BAFs, I get why that's no longer feasible in this economic climate.

I really like it as well. The height is finally right. I wouldn't mind seeing them redo War Marchine Mark I in the proper height.

He was pegwarming at my Target so I'm gonna see if I can run by there tomorrow to exchange it. If not, then I can still live with it.

I think we may have finally hit peak Iron Man saturation, haha. He was the only movie figure from the Thanos wave I kept seeing at most places.

[hasbroherofan]

So with the trend of Legends picking up several recent characters done in Marvel Universe, I'm hoping we get to see a new Hydro-Man in one of the upcoming Spider-Man waves. He's long overdue.



Though I'd prefer his 90s look. To me that's Hydro-Man

Rumor is that Hydro Man might very well be the villain of Spider-Man: Far From Home, so chances are we'll be seeing him soon.

Yah, a bunch of my local gamestops got a bunch of Apocaplyse wave figs too this week... was able to get my purple Psylocke and Multiple Man. Even if they are not out on the pegs if the computer says they are in stock you should ask the cashier to check in the back for you.

Multiple Man is awesome... I wish they gave Gambit the light brown coat that Multiple Man is wearing instead of the darker one he is gonna come with.

It's really odd. With as many Iron-Man figures as we get per year, it's only just recently we started getting any that were halfway decent. Most Iron-Man figures are plagued with some combination of odd proportions, weird scaling, bad paint and awkward articulation.

I still want to see them tackle some of the more classic armors, like his OG suit, or the Modular Armor from the 90s. Hell, I'd love if they gave us an updated Extremis as well, since I've always been fond of that design.

And yeah, we really do need an updated War Machine in some capacity, whether that be comic based (which we haven't gotten since the Galactus Wave from ToyBiz) or movie based. The Civil War version is probably the best we've gotten, but the upper torso on that one looks kinda bloated compared to the rest of the body to me.

@Triv

thanks for the Skull pics/info
i want that fig but REALLLLLY don't want to pay 70.00 bucks just to own it.

[SymbiSpidey]

Speaking of War Machine....


Just thinking of what other 10th anniversary packs they could do (although they should probably rebrand the line as "The First 10 Years" or something like that).

I definitely want to see them do a proper MCU Iron Monger. And give us an all new mold, and not just reuse that gimmick figure from ages ago. Something roughly in-between the size of the Hulkbuster BAF and Gladiator Hulk. Then they can package it with a redone Mark III Iron-Man.

Then they could follow up with an Iron-Man 2 2-pack with War Machine and Whiplash (preferably in his convict outfit).

I'd also like for them to do an Abomination. And surprisingly enough, we STILL don't have a Heimdall. Maybe Idris Elba wouldn't allow his likeness to be used, but I can't imagine Marvel would have him sign a contract without being able to use his likeness.

[jmurray90720]

They need to come out of the gate strong with Vintage X Men to justify a second series.

Wolverine (Tiger Stripe with alternate head, different belt)
Cyclops (blue/white X Factor)
Psylocke (Toybiz Legends unreleased variant, Crimson Dawn eye tattoo, butterfly and psychic knife effects)
Dark Phoenix (brighter yellows, alternate Moonstone head. I'd really like to see fully translucent hair on the evil head as an homage the 5 inch figure's light up feature as well)
Magneto (classic, with Havok/Polaris' effects in purple)
Cable (blue and yellow X Men uniform, guns)

Then, for series 2 (2020)

Wolverine (Blue Team uniform, guns)
Storm (Jim Lee, black or silver costume, lightning effects)
Cyclops (Jim Lee rerelease)
Rogue (Jim Lee rerelease, flat green instead of metallic, better facepaint, ungloved hand)
Iceman (hodgepodge of ANXM and Juggernaut wave)

[Harbinger]

Liked that list jmurray. However i tweaked it a lil.

Wolverine (Black and gold team x release with knives, pistol and netflix punisher gun)
Cyclops (blue/white X Factor with both open haired head and no haired blue capped head and lazer blast eye effect)
Psylocke (Armored outback/revanche look)
Jean Grey/Marvel Girl (green and yellow x-factor outfit)
Magneto (classic, with Havok/Polaris' effects in metallic deep purple and a removeable helmet)
Beast (pre-blue fuzzball blue and red x-factor outfit)

Then, for series 2 (2020)

Wolverine (1st appearance outfit with alt unmasked head and pull down mask thingy)
Forge blue and yellow strike team outfit
Storm (blue and yellow strike team outfit)
Banshee (blue and yellow strike team outfit)
Rogue (black and green outback outfit with the punker 80’s look and alt longer haired head)
Iceman silver x-factor look

Really? The rumors I have heard have been Chameleon, Mysterio, or Kraven. I hope it isn't Hydro Man as I really hate that character. Chameleon and Kraven would make the most sense since they are brothers.

So now we're doing wish lists for vintage styled X-Men waves? lol

I guess they would be mostly repaints or something that reuses old parts, so put me down for:

Cockrum Wolverine
Cockrum Banshee (with two heads, one screaming one standard)
Phoenix (using the Dark Phoenix body)
Beast (using the Jackal body)
X-Factor Cyclops
Professor X with wheel chair

All of those would be instant buys. I’d prefer the iron man 2 Pack to be Whiplash(Convict or race track same thing) and Black Widow(since she was the main highlight from that film) but idris Elba And Iron monger are my two Definite wants but don’t think we will ever get. I have no idea why for Elba he’s a fan favorite. He had more personality than Thor in the first two movies haha

[larryw3158]

It seems the Mandarin pack is sols out at Amazon. So...that's it them? That was all?
