I Love my TB Scorpion. Thinking I am going to swap heads with the new one maybe the tail as well if it is not as adjustable as the TB Version.

Dagger, I used acetone to remove the paint

Chances that a Snowbird figure comes with a white sasquatch head for the Wendigo baf?

I think they would have showed that by now, considering that the figures are up for pre-order

Snowbird isn't in the X-Force wave, they haven't announced her yet, but if and when they do, since she was Sasquatch for awhile it would make sense to pack a white Sasquatch head with her like they packed the Shadow King head with Xavier and the Onslaught head with Kitty

[Marine73]

Awesome!! Thank you.

That is a brilliant idea with Snowbird!

I was thinking the same thing with he tail! Won’t the head be too small?

[Marine73]

Awesome!! Thanks for all the info

I used a similar formula...Dagger body and hair-peice, Sue Storm headsculpt, belt from Red Onslaught wave Sharon Carter and shoulder harness from Domino.





Personally, I think the new Scorpion still looks like **** compared to the older Toybiz one. After watching Jay C's review of it, even more so. The facial expression, elongated head and smaller body makes it even more of a let down for me.



There was a shiny variant of the Toybiz Spider-Man Classics figure. It also had a painted in mouth. The original Scorpion figure released in series 11 while the shiny version was in series 14.





I still haven't run into the Walmart Cap yet....it's become quite the frustrating endevour...especially when I sit and remember that...Oh yeah...the 80th Anniversary Cap will ALSO be a Walmart exclusive.

On an another interesting note...the exclusive Cap has been REMOVED from Walmart's website. There were no ordering options for it to begin with, but for them to remove it entirely? It's a really bad optic. Yeah...F*** Walmart.

They have to do something to get people to buy that Cannonball Staction. I feel like calling him reverse Chamber. The hopes of legs packed in with another figure later are kind of futile because I doubt he's been designed to be modular like that, so even using Paladin's legs means having to crack the figures and what happens if it's not an easy swap. I hate the thought of spending $20-$25 on a figure that has to be customized right out of the package. The thought that everyone would want to display him with the effect is trash too, because in that cae the effect should make him taller to give the illusion of flight and the effect having a flat bottom means it's going to look odd at best on a flight stand. Ok end rant, I was just really looking forward to Cannonball and this is such a let down

^ Not really the same, but I would have been perfectly happy having never found Mystique at Walgreens, because I knew it would mean trying to make a Lilandra figure. But then I found her... so I had to buy Silver Sable for her body... then had to either buy an MU Black Knight or Legends Black Knight just for the cape... then had to get another figure just for the staff.

I feel exactly the same with Cannoball... I know if I buy him my OCD will compel me to try and give him someone else's waist and legs even though I suck at customizing... which means I gotta get another figure just for the legs. I'm thinking maybe I will just pass on him even though I would love to complete the original X-force team.

I'm really hoping this Cannonball misstep is an isolated incident and not a trend. Having collected MotUC up until Super 7 took over, bad design choices on a handful of figures can really derail enthusiasm for a line

I need this Sasquatch/ Wendigo mold set to eventually result in a Xemnu the Titan. It would be awful to be this close with the tooling and never get one.

Not po-po'ing your wants and as much as I love me some obscure Hulk and Defenders villains...I would be incredibly surprised if Xemnu was made. It'd be akin to Hasbro offering Dark Crawler, Torgo, or Zzzax. I'm not suggesting I understand Hasbro's niche fan service scheme because I don't, it's that haphazard. However there's a long list in front of that particular mind-controlling monster, even among the classic Marvel Monster set. As far as Hasbro coming close to the tooling needed and just throwing the legions of Xemnu fans a bone, as much could be said for a host of characters. Looking at BAF's like Caliban, Hasbro is a set of fists/hands and head/boots away from Ravenous - a character that would help round out the players in the Annihilation saga for which we've already seen quite a few offerings. Again not hating on your love for Xemnu, I have a slight fondness for him too despite Marvel routinely clowning him with buffoonish plans and embarrassing losses. He's been around for a long time and appeared in a fair number of stories, but Marvel has never really taken old Xemnu seriously and I doubt Hasbro will either.

But hey, Rock Python....hope springs eternal.

Holding hope for a whizzer fig.

Hey, Zzzax has at least had an action figure before, so he's already pulled ahead of the rest.

You're a real pisser with that Whizzer shit...

...and before any of that Princess Bride "I don't think that word means what you think it.." yadda: 'Aussie slang.'

@BB

That's true. Actually, I think all of those characters might be better known than Xemnu...even if only slightly.

My apologies. I misunderstood. That would be a great idea!

[usernamedustin]

I thought I was fine with only one ML trench coat mold, but it turns out I was wrong. After having them for a little bit, it bugs me that Gambit and Multiple Man have the same coat. I think i found a suitable replacement. This is a long shot, but does anyone have the Madrox and the Mattel basics 6" Blast Attack Batman? It's the knightmare(?) costume. I want to see if the colors are similar. I kind of assume nobody will have both. Thanks either way.

Earlier today Jubilee arrived in the mail. I ordered the new Jubilee figure off of amazon this past weekend.

Nice looking figure. Now I need to get the rest of the figures

[Captain Nash]

Better late than never, weeks in and out of the hospital (mostly in) and a couple of replaced parts later, I'm back in business, folks. Food poisoning is no joke, beware of what you eat. What all have I missed? I'm so behind but just thankful to be here at all.

I guess I could have posted some in the last few weeks but honestly I was in a bit of a depression, not knowing if you're going to be here to enjoy things coming up in the future puts a damper on wanting to talk about them. But the doctors think I'm stable now so I'm moving forward, despite there being likely lifelong complications I'd prefer to try and take it as living with these problems than dying from them.

Also got a good support network at home and with friends, made sure I got my X-Force wave preordered. Got my X-Men wave....weeks ago, not long after this started. I will be waiting...and waiting...and waiting...for the figures from FFH and endgame wave 2 since I know I'm nowhere near the front on the line on those. HA.

Okay. Time to take it easy and slow down. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm back. I'm here, alive. I don't want to get into details as I'd rather just move on from that and take what I can from life here on out. And I'll get to my PMs in the next day or two. I know I have a couple of transactions I had set up right before this all happened that are hanging.

....Should I read through all the new pages or can I get a recap of what's coming?

[urrutiap]

Anyone know of whats a good energy blast accessory to give to the new Jubilee figure?

One of the new Iron Man figurs have an energy ball blast thats pinkish in color I think?

[Augustus_Cole]

Damn Nash.. glad your doing better home-biscuit.
I've had food poising before and ...well shit.. it's 1 of the 2 worst things that has ever happened to me in my life.
There was no reprieve from the pain except for time itself.
So yeah definitely hang around (life) cause i"m sure there'll be few more Legends wave to snag ;o)


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

Does anyone have a reference pic.or... know where one is.. for Cap's broken shield from Endgame.. i want to cut it up JUST like that.

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

I also need a Kingpin BAF LEFT ARM and RIGHT leg for my Shadow king.. if anyone has either of those.

[JCarterVA]

Nash, Good to have you back. Do what you need to do for your health.

[urrutiap]

While I was at the Shopko store just a day ago, I found two older Marvel Legends figures of the Rhino build a figure line.

Misty Knight and some female White Tiger figure. I dunno which is worst. two figures of Rhino build a figure still pegwarming or two figures from the Absorbing Man line

Look for the Captain America Endgame statue. Sideshow should have it along with BBTS. Sideshow has more pics though and will have the broken shield accessory pieces. Iron Studios might have the statue too, but I saw exactly what you're looking for in the Sideshow images.
