I think Testor's Insignia Blue might be a decent match so I'll look into that.

i have been thinking this ever since seeing him in the black costume. Im a big fan of this character.
I'd love to have that version of him too..just wasn't sure if i wanted to commit to that painting job.


*UPDATE: what mold/buck is that Gladiator on?? and are there any open/alternate hands that would fit him?




SIDE NOTE...started digging through my digital archives(TONS of unread comics) and found quite a bit of Hickmans run on Avengers/New Avengers...
i'm bout ta read ..all dat isht!!!

Well I jumped the gun and bought Mystique off eBay and then I found her yesterday in the wild AND she went up for order...so if anyone needs a loose MYSTIQUE let me know.

[redfox]

Found these three at Walgreen's during their sale. Shocked to have actually found a Mystique on the shelf, and it only took me two stores to find her. I hope I have this same luck when the Emma Frost exclusive hits. Though with all of the negativity that she's garnered since reveal, maybe she won't be too hard to find after all..

[jwyss234]

I found Mystique tonight. There were two on the shelf so I was able pick the one with the best paint. Fortunately, mine has pretty decent paint except a couple of small areas on the white that need to be touched up with some paint.

Any experienced customizers here know of an acrylic paint that would match? Or anybody that has an Apocalypse head they're willing to part with? Searched around for a replacement one, only to find that both Gladiator and the head for Apocalypse jumped up in price out of nowhere.

Just be aware, the shades for different colors you see on the Testors site may not be that exact shade in real life. You may need to mix a couple of colors to get a match for your Apocalypse head.

Gladiator is on the Hyperion mold...so the open hands from the Absorbing Man wave Venom should work just fine on him.

Found a second Silver Sable at Walmart this morning to start putting together my Lilandra, and since Lilandra has no need for fancy holsters or belts with tons of pouches. I found the perfect gal to pair them off with. And who better than a Liefeld character?.

Ditched the silly purple guns for the darker ones that came with my extra Sable as well.



Since it doesn't seem that Hasbro is going to give us an actual Sharon Carter anytime soon that's not a kitbash of haphazard bastard parts, I finally got motivated to finish up this project. Kind of a shame that I had to go through the trouble to make something that seems like such a simple, filler figure for Hasbro to crank out, but I'm really happy with how she came out!

[Bo Ttef]

That's a great Sharon TP. If I see Dagger on ther cheap at Walgreens I'll copy it up. Maybe use the Sharon head and hands though...

Thanks Bo!

If you're wondering the formula...its pretty simple.

Body: Dagger
Headsculpt: Walgreens Sue Storm
Hairpiece: Dagger
Webgear: Domino (shoulder harness) Sharon Carter (Belt w/pistols)
Hands: Mystique (right hand) Stock female hands from Chinese seller (left hand)

I have had zero lucky tracking down the Kingpin wave, save for the Night Thasher I found at gamestop. Any online retailer suggestions?

BBTS has a set of 7 available. Amazon has everyone except for Silver Sable and Red Goblin in stock with Prime shipping. Hasbro Pulse appears to be the same as Amazon. Dorkside is completely sold out except for a few preorders for loose figures but those won't have the BAF parts.

[Tarooster]

Just found Spider Punk at the Disney Store, I had passed on him last year and always regretted it. They had the whole wave except Lasher and Mysterio if anyone is still looking for those.

Now I just need Lasher to finish my Lizard BAF.

I don't generally mix MCU and comic- but i think the Skrulls can fill in a bit at least until we start seeing comic versions...

Hey whats piccolo and another namek doin in the marvel univrse?

[redfox]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but there's a Kickstarter in process for 6in. military type figures that are being advertised as working well the Marvel Legends-scaled figures. The creator has even included "totally-not-SHIELD" & "totally-not-Hydra" soldiers that could help bolster army-building ranks. They've also got a pretty slick weapons cache as a stretch goal, if funding is met. Thought some of you might be interested, so deets and link below:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ne/description



Blurb from Kickstarter: At long last, 6” scale military/SWAT figures have arrived! This line of figures is made to fit right in with your existing Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, or other 6” scale lines. The focus while creating these figures was in three areas: Articulation, Customization, and Compatibility.

[AFU]

Came back from Walgreens, Captain Marvel Wave hitting stores, just picked up Genis Vell, who I think, IMO, is the best figure of wave, and for the 13.99...This weekend has been fast and furious, Spider-Punk, Mysterio, Lasher, and Genis, and all from Walgreens and for the 13.99...But, wallet is screaming, “break time!”

[Jerseysteel]

Does anyone by chance have war machine from the toybiz 2 pack for sale? Also looking for the facemask from the iron,man version of the 2 pack.

Those are pretty sweet. I wouldn't really need any more Hydra or Shield troopers, but I'd totally be down for the civilian forces!

[ariellagunas]

OK, so, I ve got two things to say. One, is that I'm sick of the whole Captain Marvel debacle. It stinks. Of politics. And cheap ones at that. So I will judge the movie on its own merits. And forget the rest. Looking forward to it, before I'm set off to Honk Kong (hot toys! ThreeA toys!).
Second. I'm feeling a tiny bit guilty. Because, i purchased a Stan Lee kitbash.

And I have to be honest, my partner and I loved it. I am sure the sculpt head is Marvel Legends. The detail is insane. I had to glue the glasses, but I took pics before (don't have them yet).
Nonetheless, whomever sold him to me put him on a Macfarlane body ( more than likely from Stranger Things, thou I've not checked).

Now, I still normally don't love kitbash, customs, or knock offs, but yes, I have a few of those to complete my Marvel library. It happens... Is Hasbro ever gonna do Vamp, Dust or Hussar? I will be dead by then.

I'm not sure what is happening with the Stan Lee figure, but I can assure you, this figure does not hurt me, but I love it. Everytime the In Memoriam bit comes out in awards ceremonies, I shed a tear. To me Stan was a God of sorts ( and yes I feel the same way towards Kirby, Ditko, Colan etc etc. They were crucial). But at the end of the day, Stan was the main brainwave. And good for me. I will always love him.

In other news, I am so annoyed that Mystique is not own by everybody by now. There are endless on eBay on the US. Some a$$#o/5s have bought loads and try to re-sell them at a higher price. It's terrible. In the UK, we don't get so much stuff, so we have to pre-order and so far my lovely shops have always delivered. I just think is terrible what with speculators etc.
I remember my best mate and I , when we where children, meeting a guy who did this with comic-books. We called him the slime. And never ever got nothing from him. Just an useless person, who knows nothing about the greatest community in the world.
Anyway. You know what? There will be plenty of Mystiques ( or any other character), very soon. But we need to stop this id@t$ buying and selling at extortionate prices..

Finally, any UK ladies and lads, can contact me for figures, pieces etc. I'm happy to simply just give away if I have it and don't need it.

[Augustus_Cole]

You bring the scotch and im sure you could get a group together.

[ariellagunas]

@DarkToy Lord.

Hey, I agree. I've just watch a lot of you tubers talking bout comics, but the comments are insane and stupid. I'd love to discuss Psylocke's re-version to British, or the Doom Patrol's new show ( and Elastic-girl as a Blob,etc), or the fact that I have four black bald females in my collection, or how Jean Grey has been crapped about forever, etc etc.

So what are the good forums for current comics, Marvel and DC, which are focused in the comics, but extent to TV, film, and collectibles? I'm dying to know. Maybe we need a new one.

I have love comics since I was a child. That's why I love 3-D figures of them. And the films and movies. But comics will always be my first love.

Also, I need that forum to be respectful and not totally ignorant. Like, new people welcome, but do some research before you ask any silly questions, etc.

Can only dream...

mannnn yes!!!!!..

all that ...EXACTLY...
i'll keep you posted if...no..WHEN i find something.




*******************

there is on here but..... last comment was.....10-17-2018.... so yeah..that's a no

[ariellagunas]

@DarkToyLord

First, I'm sorry, I meant films ant Tv shows, not films and movies. Haha.

But yes! You got me thinking... I've just launched a business, and I was thinking of something related to action figures, as I have so many. I've not interest on a you tube channel, but I love some blogs and their cool pics, but alas, no comic forums with comments in a familiar setting.

Comics this days are like TV, like, I'm reading Remenders X -Force and I'm fascinated, or Brad Pack, or Monica's Captain Marvel stint etc etc.

Not to incite anything, but I find very ignorant of people saying that Carol is the first female Captain Marvel, or Jane Foster the first female Thor.
Personally, I have figures of Billy Batson, Monica Rambeau, Mar-Vell, Genis-Vell and yes Carol Danvers. And I feel happier and richer for it. ( thou I need a new Mar-vell and classic Avengers Monica CM2 outfit).

[Augustus_Cole]

yeah..a "new-er" platform would be welcomed.
X-Force is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE (lets say) IPs. So it hurts me when there is a title of charactets i love..that isn't done well. NOT to say this version sucks..i haven't tried it yet only because for some reason i thought it might suck.
But off of your mention...i will give it a shot...

and..key point..agreed!!..the comics are why i WANT a 6" versions of characters i like. I've been reading a bit more of the cosmic stuff over the last year or so...and am enjoying it!!
subsequently wanting more/different figures..
