Thanks :)
I feel your pain. I ended up giving up on finding her at a decent price and just decided to make one.

Hey gang, I can't remember when the next event where a Hasbro rep would be possibly answering questions about the line, specifically the Jubilee wave and when we might expect it. Cheers!

Thanks btw:o

Does anyone else think that Hyperion's eyes were painted by the same guy who did Emma's? Thought I'd mention it after noticing it 45 times or so lol

Anybody think that a custom paint would be fairly easy to do on the Iron man 3 Legends Ultron? Would love to have a gold variant of it without paying crack prices for the Marvel Unlimited one.

I missed out on once and now im contemplating finding a bridge to jump off. (kidding)
I found one online for $50 MOC w/comic which I was gonna sell the comic to my LCS for the angela variant. but it slipped by before my pay day

it should be just use acrylic paints.

Yup, just don't try to slap some paint on it like I used to. Scrub it down first with some soapy water and a toothbrush, and if you don't mind going to the extra trouble, get some fine grit sandpaper and sand the surface of the figure - especially the joints!

Make sure you don't use enamel paints either, it has to be acrylic. A cheap spray can of Mod Podge acrylic sealant and at least three coats will protect the paint as well as make it feel like a factory-produced toy to the touch.

I didn't sand my X-Force Deadpool before I painted him red, so as a result the paint didn't adhere too well and still flakes off despite the sealant. You might not need to do it, though, if you just plan to stick it on a shelf and never touch it again.

Looking at this very nice custom Carter ^ , it makes me miss the thigh from before the new cuts Hasbro is using today. I like 'em both, but the way the leg runs into the butt on the older ones makes the body o little smoother

Tamiya has a clear yellow that would probably look awesome over the silver ultron.

Tamiya Color - Acrylic Paint

I agree the older hip joints on the HML Electra type body looked much better. They are harder to pose, but they look better. Also the thighs on the Moonstone body are a little too thick as well.

I really like both versions, but for different characters of course. With the power sets for Ms. Marvel and Moonstone the big thighs and thicker arms make sense and work well. For Domino and shield agents and Madame Hydra etc, the older style works best. I still think there can be a middle ground here for a Spider Woman or Black Cat, but that's just dreamer talk. I'll be very happy to have them on the Moonstone body, because I don't see Hasbro making a new female mould for awhile, with Jubilee on the way (eventually that is), that's 4 good female shapes to help fill out rosters, including She Rulk (who I'd relly like a Titania out of!! Maybe in 2020 lol)

Got my gold ultron.

If you don't mind me asking...

How did you acquire your Gold Ultron and what did it set you back?

If it was eBay that seller was a total dink. I asked about a shipping price and he said he'd get back to me and then he had sold it when he got back to me.

I had got the marvel unlimited at comic con. So it was only 40 bucks to get the gold Ultron got it in the mail yesterday. Don't know if I can open it.

Sorry read your question wrong. I got through Marvel Unlimited. Digital comics. It was 99 bucks. I only got it cuz I had bought the comics for my little cousin. So it only set me back 40 bucks to get the gold ultron. I just don't know if I should open it.

I think $40 is a good deal for an original Gold Ultron. I'm not sure what a yearly subscription for digital comics goes for, but $60/year seems fair enough.

For the record, I'm not sure id open it either. Where I love my opened legends, some of my sealed are like members of the family now

Whether Sentry ever makes retail remains to be seen, but I'm happy to report that I no longer give a damn... lol. Time to take my WW Hulk out for a fat throw down.

wait, is that the sentry that never made it to retail?

Nah, made this one myself after getting tired of waiting for Hasbro to get their sh*t together... =)

That's a really great Sentry, I always admire how you guys make such smooth paint lines. I feel like I should know where the head came from, but I can't put my finger on it...Kazar?

Kazar head cast from Glassman's Customs. It did the job, but there were a lot of air bubble holes on the cast unfortunately. I'd like to have used the actual Kazar head, but paying $40 to 60 for a part isn't my thing. lol

That is a nice blend of WWE Elite parts and ML parts. I really like his size a lot better than the one Hasbro was going to make. To me the Hyperion body is just too big to use for the Sentry.

Are we sure that they won't be releasing Sentry, Iron Fist et al? I thought the only two guaranteed cancellations were Phoenix 5 Cyclops and AoA Jean Grey?

And I agree, Sentry should have a longer body and not look like the 80's Lou Ferigno.

It'd be a shame to lose out on all those RC's, but what are you going to do? I'm still jacked for the Cap and Spidey waves....and hopefully Jubilee too!
