I picked up the SHS Helicarrier last night at Marshalls for 15 bucks. Painted it up some to fix some ugly spots(made the front bay window silver so it pops out more aestheticly like on the box) and turned the cannons from red to silver too. I might come back to it and make more of the red different colors so it looks more comic booky and less cartoony bright, but for now I'm really digging how it looks as like the head carrier.

I'm hoping hasbro re-releases it with the avengers movie in a more movie colorized real world aesthetic so I can have two with different colors...

Oh, the reason I mention this? I got some string and hung it on the ceiling in my display/office room. Pics will be coming soon as I get a poster/picture to hang behind it of a skyline.

I gotta admit I was leary of getting it at first until I saw the Marshall's price, but it is a badass thing. Sure it's too small for MU, but if you put MU Yellow jacket, or the upcoming antman on it, they look like the big forms of hank pym by comparison. If you have the micromachines Marvel Vehicles from back in the day, or even micro transformers, they look amazing on it too.

Hopefully when I get around to doing pics, I've found my mini Blackbird jet from that micromachine line. All around I'm just enjoying the hell out of this sucker and how magnificent it looks once you paint those red weapons silver. The only other changes I might make would be to make the red tips on the underside rockets black, the red undercarriage part a gunmetal gray/black, and then the red tops the heli turbines gold. That's kind of what I'm hoping they would do with a re-release of it in new colors though, so I'll wait until post-Avengers on DVD before I do that.
