They never got rid of ankle articulation. The only leg articulation they got rid of was the thigh and lower leg swivel that JL Cyclops & X-23 bucks had. I find it odd that they kept the rocker ankle.

I didn't get my black cat figure down to check. But looking at it now, you're right.

I do love the increased range of motion though. That was my biggest complaint on the X-23 figure itself. She has so much articulation, but you really can't even bend her legs because of the way they were made in the connecting spot. It's not even decorative hindrances, it's an actual design flaw in the shape of where her legs connect to her hips.

All that articulation, no skirt or web gear to hinder it, and she still can't pose. So I hope when they do an All-New Wolverine, they make sure she still has a decent range of motion for dynamic poses. Ditto to if they do America Chavez.

I can finally see the end of the tunnel just got loads of figures delivered only a few remaining till i consider myself I'm decorating at the moment so will have photos up like monday hopefully but i just got the Wrecking Crew, Red Skull, Enchantress, Ares, Apocalypse, Leader, Manderin, Whirlwind, Absorbing Man, Normal Wonderman, Target Black Panther, SDCC Goliath and the Millienum Falcon Legacy Edition on the way. my last figures i need are
Bill Foster
3X Skrull
2X white Nick Fury Body's (For custom Dum Dum Dugan & Coulson)
Captain Marvel
Captain Britian
Havok
Shadow Cat
Jubilee
2X Aurora Bodys (For Custom Quake and Maria Hill)
Cloak (For Custom Sharon Carter)
I have all these in my sights for finishing in december can't wait to finish my collection it has been so fun hunting but also it has been soul destroying how much money i have poured into this collection

I'll have to pick up that floppy. I didn't know it was out already, figured it would be out after secret wars is done.
As for that new female buck it isn't too bad. I just wish it had diaphragm/ upper torso articulation and a neck hinge. I think the she hulk and the first female buck are the best. I think its hilarious that (according to vonner) they used Debbie for the sculpt (of Debbie does Dallas fame).

You are gonna have to do a ton of work to get Sharon carter out of cloak lol. I assume you mean dagger

Just bought it. Any one know when Miles Morales book is supposed be out?

That's the second time i have made that mistake yes I mean dagger :(

should be the next few weeks, all the All-New All-Different stuff seem to be trickling in.

Secret Wars really messed up the continuity though

They need to release an actual MU Venom...or what's the best equivalent?

Interesting I had my friend pick it up just for collector's sake. Although I have been getting rid of my high value comics lately...

Do need to catch up to Secret Wars.

The showdown one of course!

The spider-man line had a couple that are pretty good.

It's realllllllly gooooooooooooood. You should check it out. There are a few minor things that push her as Logan's clone, but the first story line itself looks like it's diving into that she's not Wolverine's clone. More his genetic twin/daughter like it's supposed to be according to the origin miniseries. I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to see them dive into what happened to her mother's body in either this arc or the next one.

Most of All-New All-Different is easily accessible to new readers, but Secret Wars itself did set the stage so I can see why you'd want to wait on that.

Pilkster would you be able to sculpt the grey variant beast head in the same blue or paint it the same blue as the normal infinite beast ?

There are a lot of good 3 3/4" Venom's out there. The most popular one's are the MacGargan Venom and the SHS Venom. They're both really good but they're kind of pricy.

I can paint it the same blue for you. havnt mastered the colour casts. (not even tried to be honest) because the sales have dried up abit. so not not really concentrated on it. thought at the prices Im doing them and painted to and alot of the deals i have on they would be flying out. but only seem to be getting the same people ordering them. but yeah I can paint it for you if you have 1? if you need it cast you will have to send me the head and Ill cast it and sent them both back to you.

Id say the SHSD figure is the best, but the head needs a repaint as the mouth is terrible. but i liked the Spidey line version too before I turned him into Toxin.

old female buck with an added touch of rocker ankles would be the tits.

I enjoy the ability to mix both female bucks. It helps bring some diversity so not everyone looks the same, the old one is a bit more muscular so it works better for characters like Mockingbird and the second buck is better for characters like Scarlet Witch who aren't supposed to be as physically trained. The newer buck does have more pose but some of it adds to that sense of fragility.

Thanks, I still want one that's branded under the MU line is probably why I never grabbed any of those...

Does anyone have a infinite grey beast they can lend to pilk to cast for me ?

i asked this like 2-3 months back (which venom is good) and went with the Toxic Blast Venom that was suggested.. and love it for my MU lineup.

Besides the ones mentioned, there is the 12" version Warpo made recently. I missed the sale on the Horrorclix one. I am getting a Cthulhu bank next week, just for the heck of it.

Been thinking about maybe making some custom Agents of SHIELD figs, in particular Mockingbird and Quake. I'm guessing GiJoes would be the best to use for this. Any suggestions for which figs in particular would work?

Edit: "Desert Ambush" ROC Scarlett is a great base. Pardon my brain deadness.

any tips about painting over figures I'm thinking of using paint from games workshop ?

any decent acrylic paint really. games worskhop stuff is decent but can be expensive.

Movie Black Widow is compatible to GI Joe heads, and Renegade scarlet if you clip her ponytail makes for a great Maria Hill at least.

Not sure on Quake, but the same base body would probably work. For Quake though I'd say use the Black Widow body, but maybe use ROC Desert Ambush Scarlett's lower arms to give Quake those more metal gloves she uses. By painting those silver you can have an easier time on making the lower arms, but not sure on hands. Black Widow's hands might be good to use instead of the ROC Scarlett ones since they have a more texturized glove aspect to them for better detailing.

If you feel ambitious on top of that, GI Joe Wraith gauntlets make for great customs too if you reverse the gauntlet so the hand area goes towards the elbow and the elbow area goes toward the hand. Then use a nail clipper to clip the inside arm area to shorter. I have a lot of customs planned still that use Wraith web gear and ROC Desert Ambush Scarlett, but to do those customs it generally comes out to higher than I want to pay to make the custom figures right now.

This body is amazing for customs but she's so hard to come by these days. Even on ebay her price has gone up considerably. I try to keep an eye out for them because I want to use that base for a lot of customs I still want to do. But none have stayed within my price range to buy them at.

Tamiya paints have been some of the best I've ever used. Decent price, and once they dry they're on there as strong as the plastic you're painting on itself. As long as you close them tight, they last a long time too without getting wonky with age like some Testor's paints do.
