I am digging all the creative back stories though. I guess HYDRA and SHIELD are very good guys v bad guys and easy to link others into it. I had never thought of bringing GI JOE into though. Granted, got a lot of Joe vehicles with HYDRA and SHIELDS stickers on them so it makes sense. Funny though as the black vehicles I have for SHIELD are actually cobra and the green vehicles I use for HYDRA are actually Joes. It's upside down!

I really hope we get vehicles and or a playset for SDCC exclusive this year.....

Agreed. And from what we've been led to believe there will be no more funny-shaped packaging in the future. Huzzah!!

On another note, score. Newly-arrived from HasbroToyShop...

It doesn't stop with Joes; through the power of witchcraft and time travel, Captains Jack Sparrow & Hector Barbossa, Obi-wan Kenobi, Gandalf the Grey, Thorin Oakenshield, & Harry Potter are in my Avengers roster

I keep the Dwarves and Elves from LotR with my Asgardians as stand-ins for denizens of Nidavellir and Alfheim, naturally. :)

Holy crap Bishop is a tall figure. Or is Black Cat really short?

decent!

Picked the wrong day to stop transforming into what we become with the Terrigen Mists

Both, actually. Bishop is about the same height as Cable and Colossus. Black Cat is just a tad shorter than the original female buck for this line (Ms. Marvel, Mockingbird, Spider-Woman, etc).

Arg missed out on Black Cat & Bishop again!
I did get powered up Sandman.

That's awesome you can watch movies at work. I met Kareem at a book signing a few weeks ago and he was super cool, signed the kids' books and let us take some pics. He fought Bruce lee, and I need to order a Bruce lee head and throw it on a daredevil buck and paint part of it black for a Shang chi. Either that or a Mephisto custom.

Thanks man! Always checked this board figured I'd sign up!

Yeah coulson is from Glassman

For A.I.M. I recommend this, as you can buy multiples and combine them:
??????????????????

And The Valiant is the Helicarrier ;)

So I just picked up the GI Joe weather dominator and mass device so A.I.M has something to work on besides the cosmic cube. Ill be making some modifications on the warehouse you see in my pics and I'm in the process of making a abandoned Hydra facility that was trying to make super soliders gone wrong for Zola to do his work.

Golden..... that is the coolest set up EVER!!!! Do you ever see them on your travel to Japan? How much are they? I am sure they scale perfect as I suspect you have seen them first hand. Those would be perfect with laboratory equipment!!!

Sampson....I think HYDRA= weapons (brute force terrorism) & AIM= high tech (NASA meets Apple) in my view HYDRA is to 1980's Schwarzenegger as AIM is to season 4 Walter White.

my 3.75 inch figures co exist with my Transformers, The Leader consults sometimes with COBRA and the Decepticons, while Cobra Commander is sometimes confused with Starscream over communicator's (a nod to the fact they had the same voice, Chris Latta), while the Stunticons are prepared to unite to terrorize whoever messes with them (once I get the other Stunticons)

Age of Ultron Hawkeyes and Black Widow
 

Got my MCU Hulk cast and got Hawkeye and Widow updated!

Gi Joe 25th Mass Device and Weather Dominator Lot Roc POC 30th | eBay

This is where i got it
So as I figured..Hydra would be making super humans and clones..and A.I.M would be making Weather Dominators and Space Portals

Gotg
 

Rocket has 7 POA, and Groot is sculpted from the shoulders down with a GI Joe Roadblock base.

Ooh, that's a good way to go.

I like doing SHIELD as a U.N. thing so I can use the more local groups per country that way. With the U.N. as the corporate merging point so to speak.

That way MI-13 can handle Britain. GI Joe has got America, and SHIELD can stay spec ops world police.

I should probably change my idea behind hyrdra and doom. Should use Hydra with Cobra. Makes more sense with them having similar groundings and Doom rallying magneto to his side would need to avoid any groups that worked with Nazis.

Shocker with Cobra works wonders though because they both do have heavy emphasis on genetics and tech alongside heavy supremacy type ideologies. Might be only me with that, but ever since Kamen Rider the first had that huge emphasis on the two snake bad guys, it always seemed like The First and The Next versions of Shocker would fit right in with Cobra. They even combine logos really well! ( Cobra Shocker by DriftingSnow on DeviantArt )

After finding out G.I. Joe was supposed to be led by Nick Fury as a off shoot of S.H.I.E.L.D I started including Joes with my S.HI.E.L.D forces and Cobra with Hydra.

My AIM forces...

And my HYDRA group, along with two troopers who survived the application of covertly-obtained Pym Particles. The rest of the subjects did not survive the application. ;)

Great pics Ursa!!! I like your CrossBones upgrade, I am gonna pinch that one. Really cool Sin as well, I have been meaning to make one as I have a few different Red Skull heads lying about. In due time I suppose. Just been trying to finish the S.H.I.E.L.D. army first for whatever reason. I like the number 9 you have chosen for your troops as well. 1 in the middle and 4 on either side, or 2-3-4 in rows..... Cleaver that.

Also I have to note that when I saw the big guys I was all like WHHAAAAA?!?!? Great idea!
I am gonna pull out the AIM & HYDRA armies and snap a quick shot or two. If the spring weather holds I want to take some outdoor shots around this BEAUTIFUL part of Britain I live in. Armies look great outside I think!
