Any advice?

You could actually probably use a Red Onslaught wave Sharon Carter for a base since she's already wearing a white outfit, so no painting would be required!

Canada is not too far away from the southern US...Roadtrip! (okay maybe not.) Since I don't know anyone to trade with up there I guess it's just a waiting game.

It's so annoying for those who want this wave so badly that all these other waves are dropping like crazy and this wave keeps holding steady for the summer. Bring On The X!!!

Keep checking Walmarts. I got my set on Sunday morning at a store that only received 1 case of Wave 1. Later that day I found a 2nd case at another Walmart along with a case of Deadpool 2. I left it for the next collector since I have both waves.

But I am sure there are some who did not get the SDCC version who want him, right?

If you have the patience, I do plan on picking up Malekith, as I want him, but like King Cobra, I'm waiting for them to be on sale before I pick them up. If you still need it when I do get him, I'll ship you the Cull piece for shipping plus maybe $1 or $2 extra.

I'm going to say his "Violent" was on purpose and meant to be a pun. At least, I thought it was because I laughed at it.

Grabbed 2 sets of berserker claws from Casting Cave just now. I'll try to post some pics after I get them set up on my Wolverine.

Thanks for the heads up. Are these claws brittle or were you really sanding them to cause them to break? I don’t have much experience with cast items so I’m not entirely sure what to expect.

Captain Nash 05-15-2018 08:10 PM

Sure enough found nothing I was looking for. Found almost all of the Deadpool wave and considered picking up the figures I didn't already have, just out of self pity, but they were missing Greypool and I would have still had to search for him just to complete Sasquatch.

Nothing of Avengers wave 2. Nothing of Lizard wave. No Thanos. *Grumble grumble grumble* I did however get the black panther Bluray/Digital so I can finally watch it before I go see IW this weekend or next, whichever lines up better schedule wise. SO that's something. Not that I thought I would have problems finding it.

Bo Ttef 05-15-2018 08:20 PM

Keeping looking around for Thanos- I saw them re-stocked pretty heavily at my local Walmart yesterday, so he might be getting a second push!

the claws come with a separation which make them more fragile and thats the part where you have to connect the hand, dont know why the claw maker made that little separation? you'll see when you get them

I'm not sure what options there are out there for the shoulder pads, other than taking something similar from another figure and gluing them on, unless you plan on sculpting them like you mentioned. The only female figure (Legends-wise) that had shoulder pads was the Rocket Raccoon Jean Grey, and that's not a cheap figure you'll want to chop up. Kitty Pryde has simulated shoulder pads that you might be able to work with if you're willing to sand down the parts over her chest to create separate pads on both sides.

As for cheap figures to chop up, you could always opt for the black version of the Jim Lee costume, and honestly, with that one, there's no better body to work with than the Vintage Widow. It's a good body mold with easy to change hands, and more important, it's completely devoid of paint. It's the closest thing to getting a blank slate to work with.

You could, but the molded catsuit details are gonna throw it off. Plus that body is a bit on the short side.

It works decent for a makeshift Colleen Wing.

If you want to do Storm's white costume with minimal painting, I'd actually hold out for the upcoming Dagger figure, as it's literally solid white with some flesh-tone down the chest. You could probably remove the flesh tone with acetone or alcohol, and then sand off the rest to clean it up.

When you get the claws, they are going to be the claw itself, with about an additional half an inch of resin off the back of them. They will not immediately pop in, and will take a little work. They are sturdy enough, but nowhere near that of the default plastic claws.

My advice to you is try widening the holes in the clawed hands a bit before you start sanding. This will allow you to keep a thicker post at the base of the claws, which will increase their durability. My experience with Casting Cave usually has them sending one extra claw to practice with. No matter what though...take your time with it. If you are having to use a significant amount of force to insert them, you have not done enough adjusting and you are running the risk of breaking them. There are videos up on YouTube regarding their installation, those can be of help as well.

The extra piece on the claws creating the separation are there for two reasons.

1. It makes it easier to cast, since they are very tiny pieces to work with.

2. It allows the claws to be adjusted and fitted for all of the different Wolverines we've received thus far that have removable claws.

Looks like the Marvel Select MCU Hulk.

I finally opened my Future Foundation Spidey I bought at my local comic shop that was repacked and the foot is half way gnawed off. I’m a little pissed, but the shop owner wanted to act like it was my fault. Wouldn’t you look at stuff that you’re going to buy and resell? It’s kind off turned me off on shopping there.

Specifically I think that's the Age of Ultron version. In hindsight I really wish I'd gotten one of those when I found it at Hastings (or maybe it was just my LCS, I forget which).

I hauled these today. Hopefully I can finish off the Blob over the next few months. Still looking for Arnim Zola parts and looking to trade a Marvel Unlimited Tony Stark.

I might have some Zola parts. I'll send you a pm.

Parademon1 05-16-2018 01:52 PM

My wallet is ever so thankful to Hasbro for the limited amount of comic based characters in the past few waves. Got King Cobra for $10 & Taskmaster for $20 at a local con last Sunday & sold off the Thanos R.leg BAF part that came with TM for $10 a day later. so $20 for both those figs is awesome. Now just need Black Knight from the next MCU heavy wave.

Shame that the MCU seems to be overtaking classic comic based figs in the Marvel legends line.

Damn, really? I thought Legends were reliable sellers for most comic shops.
