@Spyne
Hey, man. Good news, the Superior head fits as though it was meant to be on this buck: http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/...psdtv78xjm.jpg |

Oh Blue, you have made me a happy boy! I have a custom in mind and now it's gonna happen!
I also wanted to share some pics of the wave from what I got. I borrowed you stand display idea, Blue. I hope that's ok. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...128_203840.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...128_203847.jpg |
@Don
I guess so, man. Although, to be honest, I haven't checked ALL of the more recent figs. Many new Legends heads do seem to be on a ball-hinge joint. A good deal of figs being made by various toy-makers seem to be constructed with a nod to customizers...good observation! @Spyne I'm glad you are happy, bruh! I feel indebted to you because I wouldn't even have these figs right now if not for your heads-up, thanks again! Nice pics and of course it's ok that you used a method that I employ. After all, Hasbro made those stands with this purpose in mind, not I. I figured you were going to make a custom. Let us see it when you are done! I neglected to tell you that your Stiltman was both an awesome choice for a character to make and a great custom in its overall application! :thumbs |
Got lucky at TRU this morning and was able to nab almost all of the new Cap wave. Just gotta track down La Parka...erm...I mean Taskmaster, and Sharon Carter...

Doc Ock just got added to the "Spidey villains" shelf. Might be one of my favorite Legends ever. Those tentacles are just impressive and add so much to a display.

I use this Octopus on display, since he's a lot cheaper to pick up and he's in 6 inch scale, and with a decent paint wash he looks awesome! http://i63.tinypic.com/119496o.jpg |
S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and Aim appreciation...

By the way, since you were talking about figure stands. You know the neca ones work for some of the legends. I'm using at least 3 of them for a few of my legends. |
Those AIM soldiers look so good, I wish I'd been collecting when those were more readily available.

A couple of things I've been thinking about:
I am so confused on this Taskmaster. The one in the Ultimate cartoon I saw was black with a white cape and hood. The toy looks nothing like it. Then I looked at the design the alternate head is based on (Udon or something like that) and he still looks nothing like it. Not to mention that one only seems to have guns drawn in the pictures I have seen. Which is the correct version? Are they going to give us any other members of Kobr... I mean the Serpent Society? Cottonmouth is useless without at least a few of his team mates. Still not sure what to think about this Red Skull figure. He looks much cooler without the purple plastic wing back piece thing, but why did he go Lex Luthor on everyone? I guess it is something he would do, but the suit is so huge. Are his legs in the torso or does his feet reach the pedals? I wish they would have just given us a Red Skull in a nazi coat, but whatever. This will have to do until the next Captain America movie. |

A couple of thoughts on the new Cap wave after goofing around with them a bit tonight...
Captain America: I'm actually shocked how well it turned out, and much like how Pizza Spidey became one of my favorite Spider-Man figures ever, so has this Cap. Bout the only thing I can honestly complain about is the clip styled shield (besides being a bit on the small side, I would have preferred elastic or sculpted straps.) The shoulder straps are also pretty pointless...they fall right off every time, but in a static pose, sit pretty well. Definitely the best Cap figure Hasbro has put out this far, and while it's apples and oranges, stands it's ground quite nicely against Toy-Biz's Face Off Cap as one of the best. Cottonmouth: I love the colors and the head sculpt, but forget the Bucky Mold...is there any way that Hasbro can retire the Hyperion mold? It's proportions are silly and it's friggen ridiculous looking. My least liked figure out of the wave, if it weren't for the crisp deco and head sculpt, he would be hitting eBay. Whirlwind: Also not a favorite of mine in figure form as I really can't find a whole lot to compliment on it. I do like the choices of colored plastic and mine didn't have any marbled parts. The removable blades on his wrists were a nice touch, although the feet look a tad too big. Still I've always liked goofy looking villains, and this guy looks like he came out of a NES Mega Man game. I loved beating on him in the old Avengers arcade game, and I'm sure my Caps and Iron Mans will love beating on him now. Scourge: Granted, I know nothing of this character, but I really dig the figure. A very clever retool of the ASM2 Electro body. I really love the paints and the web-gear, all of which is removable, including the leg holster! About the only complaint I have is that mine came fresh out of the package with some unusually loose joints. The plastic feels a bit different than the rest of the wave, so I'm chalking it up to that. Good figure to have, and it's always nice to be able to add another street level villain. I can imagine a lot of people though looting this guy for the web-gear and weapons, as he comes with some nice accessories. Mockingbird: Another character that I know little about, but is surprisingly my favorite figure of the wave thus far, barely beating out Wolf Cap. Lots of new sculpted parts makes it look like a nearly new female buck, even if a lot of pieces are still being reused. The removable sunglasses are awesome, and although I still don't understand why they don't put arm swivels at the biceps on the female figures, she can strike a lot of really cool poses. If we get a Diamondback in the future, I hope it uses this buck. Just need to track down Taskmaster and Sharon Carter now to finish the set! On a side note...Anyone who was thinking of picking up a Black Series General Hux to do a headswap with Mandroid Red Skull for a more contemporary look, I have some bad news...unfortunately, the head does not fit. Oh well...at least I have a Hux now to finish out my SW EP7 Black Series collection! |

I wish that was the case for the Matt Murdoch head and the Chameleon body. |
@redfox Ah no, sorry about the mix-up, that statement was regarding Scourge's brown guns, not Tasky's laser sword.
@Spyne, Mate, using Scourge for a Gauntlet custom is a brilliant idea. Can you post it up here when you're done? It'll look fantastic no doubt! Oh, and nice pictures of the Cap wave! Loving everyone's uploads of their new figures. :D Quote:

Also, bloody hell TBM, you have three Mandroids?? I am awfully jealous! |
