Try Future brand floor wax. I've never used it personally, but i've heard it works great.

clear finger nail polish works, you might have to put some on let it dry try it and then layer it on multiple times if it doesn't fix right away. I did this with a Showdown Thing to fix his leprosy leg

Does anyone know any good very well articulated spider man figure from the marvel universe line

The comic pack version with captain britain is nice.

Jason Abbadon 07-27-2012 08:07 PM

The Comic Pack Black costume is amazing if you swap his legs with Doctor Strange- he'll gain hip-swivel just like the Captain Britan CP Red and Blue version.

I'll go ahead and second, third, and fourth this.

Future is like duct tape for action figures/model builders/customizers.

I keep steady supply of it in hand. It's also sold under the name Plej with Future

Does anyone else have a problem with the marvel universe spiderman's legs mine just fall off. I already swapped the joint holding the legs with a gi Joe's joint ( a metal one ) and it didn't solve anything. Then I tried super glue ( loctite ) and that didn't solve it even though it worked with my joes. Does any one know how to fix it ?

FancyPants 07-28-2012 08:46 PM

Here's an already well known custom idea. I figured i'd post here.

Subscription Doom: Steve rogers head painted brown. Single card dooms body. Make a red scar and you're done. My wife is going to make him for me.

It's pretty sweet having a wife who likes making customs. My hands are too shaky for that. She made my odin fantastic :)

Well if I get that one how do you suggest I take the figure out cause I hear that the one you are talking about if you take out spider man his leg will pop off

have you tried heating up the thighs? like taking a mug of water, heating it up in the microwave for about 1 min 45 sec and then dunking the legs in. what usually happens to the MU figures is the packaging causes stress to the thigh socket and direct heat or hot water will sorta reset the plastic to its original shape. also dunking the parts in cold water after would help set it faster.

agreed,very easy,the only part that took any time was painting the hairline.

M16m1911 07-29-2012 03:01 PM

I've tried but it doesn't seem to work. I just looked into the socket and it is to small for the joint to fully grab on

D00MTR0N 07-29-2012 03:34 PM

as far as fitting balljoints and headsculpts, I always use sticky tack(a small amount),that way if you want to use the headsculpt on the original figure its not a problem getting it to fit again.

M16m1911 07-29-2012 05:59 PM

I'm not talking about the head I'm talking about a leg

Are you still talking about the FF Doom custom? Because you shouldn't have to replace anything on the single-pack Doom body besides the head (using the Steve Rogers one instead, as Doomtron mentioned).

he seems to be talking about the spiderman from the Cap Britian 2 pack and the leg falling off when you remove him from the package

Thanks for the tip, the same thing happen to my Baron Zemo from the Master of Evil three pack. The leg fell right off in my hand. I will try it tonight.

Well, you asked for it by buying that set- Nothing's more evil than the toy you just bought breaking in your hands.

Nothing.

Iceman 08-21-2012 11:21 AM

A question for anyone that has the Iron Man 2 Air Assault, have you guys had problem with the wrists? I just a couple of both seem like they are stuck when I try to rotate them. I thought it was rotating it but I actually nearly ripped it off. Anyone have a recommendation? Will the blow dryer work?

Maybe I should just rip off the one hand and stick the end of a missile in there.

Does anyone know where to get some stands for individual figures in the uk? Thanks in advance :)

mikefavata 08-28-2012 10:58 AM

Don't try to buy figures from people on Facebook.

You're welcome.

I'm not sure if you can buy them in any shop, but I get Obitsu stands from Hobbylink Japan or eBay.
