Thanks guys! Here's a couple more crappy pictures of the rest of Tony's area on my shelf...

you want to talk about regrets? I wish I would have bought the hundreds of IM2 figures I saw on discount racks for like 3 to 5 bucks at the end of the IM2 run. you could have opened up a chop shop and made decent customs of every armor imaginable. except the 90's cartoon under water armor with the bubble over the helmet.... I wish they made him.

This. A thousand times this.

Side note, have you guys ever thought about starting a petition to shake some unreleased goodies out of Hasbro? I'd pay twenty bucks on that Igor despite the lack of articulation on it. If I knew that there was a hope, I would totally make a petition. The problem is though is that I think I'm too under-aged to start a petition like that.

I'm actually surprised they never made the hydro suit seeing as how they could've easily used the classic gold armor buck and the red and gold armor head for it. just repaint the face to match the body and slap on a fishbowl. bam there you go!

I need to track down that toybiz hulkbuster because just two hulkbusters in my collection aren't enough. I need more! :D

I'm considering repainting a gi joe 25th deep six for under water iron man.

Ps, this is how you know you're bored beonde belief....

What did u use for the ramp and the armor pods?

The ramp and the platform are from a wrestling set. The cylinders are from collectingwarehouse.com but they're out of stock. The bases the Hulkbuster and Thorbuster are standing on are from Titanium series Transformers.

Haven't gotten to the touch ups or sealing her yet, but here's a quick repaint of the corps walmart chick into bishops sister.

I see somebody took my suggestion... ;)

She looks great so far. Can't wait to see her completed

Customs.

So you want to boost your armor collections? Behold! The mexican bootleg! :) RARE Patriot Iron Man Marvel Universe Mexican Transparent Action Figure 3 75'' | eBay

(also comes in many other colors)

but why go through all the trouble of making customs when you can just buy the assemblers? you make it sound like sculpting and painting are easy to do. not everyone can do them.


lol not gonna lie that actually looks kinda cool.

Than is amazing!!!

@UrsaMagnus
Absolutely love your Tony Lab and all the careful attention to detail you put into the accessories and layout. Nice, you even have a Jocasta, just noticed. What did you use for the Armor's tubes?

Thanks for the compliments. I used to have this in a much nicer and more organized configuration but space constraints have sort of compressed it more than I'd like.

And I'm glad you got the Jocasta reference! When I saw that Cortana figure I knew she'd make an ideal substitute Jocasta.

The tubes are from the collectingwarehouse.com website. Unfortunately, they're sold out and have been for quite some time. I'd love to get more myself for the other armors but they've not restocked them for literally years.

EDIT: Checking the website, it looks like the ones I got are still out of stock but they've got something similar to them now located here. Also, there's a multi-chamber display located here that would work pretty darn nicely. I may look into getting a couple of these myself to replace the tubes. Two of those chambered units would house all my current armors (I've got 47 at last count).

If anyone needs some of the new Inifnite wave I should have them tomorrow

You're both correct; the Assemblers were great for what they were, being shitty gimmicks for kiddies, but their parts are salvageable.
I think a Mark 2 makes a fine base for an Iron Patriot, and it comes with ready painted lines you just have to paint within.

This is one of your best to date customs dude keep it up

the sculpts on the assemblers imo are already great so articulation is really all they're lacking.

not mine, but here's starboost with added articulation

Ghost Armor Iron Man Custom Action Figure

You will have extras?

As much as I hate to admit it, I REALLY want the new Captain Marvel figure. Guess it's the costume(the only thing that doesn't work for me with it is that stupid Mohawk mask).

http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/up...egends-018.jpg

I wanted this figure back when they announced it at SDCC and I am very glad that it doesn't have that stupid mask, I know that they showed the comic pack version will have it but I'm happy that this one doesn't. I'm eager to see more of the upcoming Vision, I like that it's the Jonas version.

Thank god then, that the only way to get the mask will be to buy the 'potentially maybe going to be released' comic packs, and that you don't have to deal with the free swappable head accessory that came with the Legends one, along with an energy accessory and three parts for a build a figure. I honestly think that the Chameleon swappable heads were a packaging error and that Hasbro needs to be informed.

Seriously though, I'd rather have the head packed in as an option, but that's expecting too much.

On another note; doesn't her jaw look a little weird?

yep

Thanks @DarkToyLord!

While we're on the topic of Tony's lab... I just cleared out my local Ross stores of their Hall of Armors. I picked up 6 in total for $5.99 each! And the first thing I did with them...

"Like what I've done with the place??"
