if you think thats crack,we dare you to buy any S.H.Figuarts. They started with just Kamen Rider but they've made other Figures from Dragonball,One Piece and Power Rangers.
we started with Piccolo and we were like "ooh we like it" so we bought Goku then Gohan then we thought maybe we'll like the Kamen Rider Figures too even though we've never heard of it.so we bought Gills and we instantly liked him more then the Goku or Piccolo Figuarts.so after that we started watching the Japanese Kamen Rider and have since then bought 3 Different kuugas,the 2 One Piece Figuarts,Gills Raider/Bike,Pre-ordered Joker and Eternal,we're about to buy Deneb Imagin.And we even liked the show so much we've bought SIC Kiwami Tamshii Momotaros which is a little taller then 3 3/4 figures,but with all that it comes with, the articulation and the price 1,200 jpy(we got it for 500jpy since it was on sale for 55% off) It puts MU to shame,so MU h....ha......has taken a back seat to Kamen Rider items.

We are Seriously Daring Someone to buy an S.H.Figuarts.

I hate Marvel Comics but I can't stop buying these. Secret Wars 2 packs took me and it was downhill from there

Jean grey 90's costume don't put the blast affect on her fist hand I did and it snapped off.

tristam 01-08-2012 03:33 AM
the "ice" attachments from the Thor Movie Frost Giants work well with the current MU Icemen and XMO Iceman...[havent got an Iceman fig yet though, i just read this from another forum]...and the ice accessory from Artic Destro works also~

Can anyone suggest a good head for a Hydro-Man custom?

Also any suggestions for Boomerangs that...Boomerang could use?

I haven't tried this (don't have either figure yet) but has anyone put MU Dark Phoenix on the Marvel Select Phoenix base?

There was one of the old wrestling figures,WWE JBL, that had a nearly perfect head for the classic black t-shirt Hydro-Man. I put it on an Absorbing man with painted pants and a t-shirt, and used the Spider-Man 6" figure arms and base to finish the figure.

Ooo really? Was that a 3 3/4" JBL. I'm not sure if they sold those in the UK, can you tell me what the line was called please? I'll have a browse on eBay see if I can find one.

Thanks very much.

Definitely 3 3/4".

Has anybody made a hydro custom using iceman? I know he'd be a bit lanky but if you just transplant the arms it might look cool.

Damn man I found him about 2 months ago and I'm SO GLAD I picked him up! I'd have regretted it. Still not found a decent bike for him to ride yet though! Gonna get one at some point :P

When painting a straight line you can use the blue tape or if you feel bold you can do these , make sure you support you arms on a table then HOLD your breathe while making medium length strokes with your brush to make straight lines.

Bingo, Biggs Darklighter makes a perfect classic Stark paired with an A-Team face body. I presume an upcoming Prof X body would be perfect too.

Good tips everyone!

Use the ROTS Obi Wan head for Tony Stark- really- just remove the side beard paint, paint the hair and goatee black and he's adead ringer for the EMH Tony Stark.

Another good tip is Heroclix- use their Ant Man and Ultimate wasp for figs both in sale with MU and 1000% better than the box set versions! Those are dirt cheap too!

jschambe 01-25-2012 07:45 AM
Can someone point me to a tutorial on head swaps for MU figs? I especially want to do a Dark Ms. Marvel. Thanks!

Jason Abbadon 01-25-2012 09:04 AM
What do you mean? You just pull their heads right up and off- a little scary the first time, but really, it wont damage anything.

....unless you're trying to remove the head of Jim Lee Cyclops. It took forever to get that damn thing removed.

Jason Abbadon 01-25-2012 12:03 PM
Really? Mine popped right off. Myabe there was some extra mold on your Cyclops head or something.
