Sue is a lot better, though Reed looks like his costume is 2 sizes to big and it's sagginf in areas lol

I'm so glad I never passed up on that 2 pack...

Sue got them birthing hips lol

Found the entire latest wave with variants at my LCS today. Could only afford to pick up one. So, I chose the figure I've been waiting for since MU started, Bishop! Sucks they waited to make him until they cut all the articulation. It was bad enough when I thought it was the torso. But they cut it out everywhere, then the price went up? Are they trying to kill the line? Regardless, really happy I finally have Bishop.

Yeah it kind of hits us in a few steps...lol
Happiness : OMG Ive been waiting for this figure !
Bewilderment: Waaaaait he has no articulation.....
Anger : HE HAS NO F@#$ing ARTICULATION !!!!!
Outrage : HE HAS NO F@#$ING ARTICULATION AND HE COST WHAT !!!!!!???!!!
Compromise : Well at least they made him...they didn't have to make him..it could be like Skurge..F#$@ING LIMBO !!!!
Acceptance: Im happy that he is in my collection :)

You forgot the last step: Hoping/Desperation: I hope I find him/her somewhere eventually.

Otherwise, yeah that's exactly the steps I go through every time something's announced that is on my want list.

That was me driving home today exactly, samsson.

Ha quality, well said :D

Nice one Samsson!

Ursa, I am ordering a Hellcat set as well. Glassman custom is doing the new ML Hellcat head shutdown. You can get it painted for $20 from him. So a touch of black above the gloves and a bit above the boot. Perfect figure.....done.

Vort is always running speacials. He doesn't post here much, but I will post up his daily specials here. Also I will try to post when he runs super specials. Yeah, it takes 6-8 weeks from clicking BUY IT NOW to opening your package. Even as an independent artist working by himself, I feel it is a tad too long. Just saying 3-5 weeks would be better than 8. That said, the quality is always good and worth it. I think K-Dub should open a store!!!! His casts are very nice!

Edit: forgot to give some props to TheLongestDay as those older SHS Fantastic Four looks a lot better now. Also digging the Skull!

I think that Sue Storm looks a he'll of a lot better.. that whole set looks great but like Jedi said there is something off with the Mr Fantastic.. His costume is hanging it's like he's started to stretch out but his suit has stayed the same size..

As for Red Skull he needs his own belt or different webbing to to define him to the others and not look so plain. Thanks for sharing

I ordered a huge lot from vorts in November and he's almost finished them and ready to ship. I know from talking to him regularly that he's had a few personal family problems but caught up a lot.. I've heard nothing but great things about his work so I'm looking forward to seeing how my order turns out.

UKMU do you have any pics of KDUBS casts and does he sell/trade or does them as and when he needs them?

Vort is awesome.... it is because of him I even found these online figure boards while hunting down a Maria Hill years ago. Saw his casts on google and wrote to him and now here I am, after spending too much time and money on these figures!!! ;)

Did you say you ordered in NOVEMBER? That is almost 7 months ago mate.... wow. Anyway top notch stuff from Vort. You will be pleased when they arrive. He is a nice guy and great service and is usually running some sort of unadvertised specials.

About the Dub one of the K. I have both his S.H.I.E.L.D. trooper heads and Vorts cast S.H.I.E.L.D. trooper heads. There is no way to tell them apart. No bubbles or anything like that. No he just does what and where when needed type casting but would most likely do whatever. He is ALWAYS donr for trading for figures too which is a plus! I dont believe he has any plans anytime soon to start a store as that is a big commitment, but drop him a line... you never know!


Now...onto other matters. We just got Shanna in a few hours ago. She is exactly what is to be expected. Nice but. Everyone knows the articulation blues but I was using her head for Madame Hydra and her body for Moondragon so I am not bothered. I can not find any devises to take pics with currently but i will soon and post them up.

Thanks for the to compliment UKMU.

I am always down for trades on casted parts and if needed I will paint them too. I have nearly the entire collection of MU/MI with a large amount of figures from other lines, so chances are I have the part you want casted, and I will typically mold and cast to order.

That being said I have yet to figure out how to cast straps and jackets or or anything thin and flexible.

If anyone is interested drop me a message. I think I have sent UKMU about 50 different guns, over 15 heads, some boots, and some funyuns....well the funyuns are part of a pending deal, lol.

Scored an extra mark 43IM and the new widow as well as bishop. Wondering what to do with the extra 43armor.

Translation - "Wondering if anyone will trade/buy the armour from me" haha :p
I'd take it off of your hands if it wasn't for the fact that I have no money lol
I'd suggest keeping it for now, wait and see what the Mk 45 looks like, maybe make one of those.

Found this old list from years back, from a fellow I do not recognise on here.
Claimed to be a leaked product list for the new Marvel Infinite rebrand, I thought it'd be fun to reminisce.

The She Hulk turned into the Red She Hulk, never got those MU and a vehicle packs or any of those packs after Deathlok except for Rocket Racoon.
That first Hawkeye wave, Iceman wave and the Iron Patriot wave never materialised, which is a shame; we do need a bloody Venom, and a new Iceman! The Rulk no doubt would have been a 3-pack rerelease.

I think Red Skull's bloody red face in the shape of a skull and him being El Jefe may differentiate him enough for the Hydra employees :p
I still need one of those Hydra goons, I tried getting one on ebay the other day but after starting off at like 99 cents it sold for over $30. Anybody have a spare hydra goon sitting in their closet or that they are tired of looking at holla at your boy Kernel.

Well yeah, but he's tied up and been in there a few days, I think he might be dead, but he keeps moaning. I'm not sure you'd want him :D

Honestly I'm not big on trading was wondering if anyone had custom ideas for it. Im liking the mark 45 idea but kids wanted to stray from it being iron man all together. I have ideas but never write them down and forget what customs I want to try

Perhaps a Mark II War Machine armour that'll be in Age of Ultron. Bit of grey and silver, and the back-gun from the assembler and it'd be a good fit

That's what I'm thinking about. Just need to see what the whole suit looks like before jumping in.

It's just an unpainted Iron Patriot from IM3

Hey I remember Spade...wonder whatever happened to him ????

You were commenting at the same time, was about Nov 2013. I didn't start regularly commenting here since about July I think, and I don't remember him. Of course there's been En Sabah, UKMU, you samsson forever it seems.

Says his last activity was 02-28-2015 10:42 PM, so that wasn't even that long ago

Thanks. Bit bland. Maybe I'll go with an of character in a misc part mash up.
