Certain white plastic types age horribly because they absorb pollutants in the air and florescent lighting faster. That's why his body shines white, but his head and leg are tinted yellow slightly(the grays are part of the original paint job Hasbro released on him). The softer plastic of the limbs are that plastic type that age horribly. His figure and the future foundation figures show it considerably. None of the other figures that have white plastic have aged quite like those 4 have(even FF spidey hasn't aged yellow like that). Guardian has it the worst though. Probably because he's been in my collection the longest out of them. Though amazing friends Iceman has been on my shelf longer than all of them and he hasn't yellowed at all. Neither has Moon Knight.(Which is a shame, because I'm looking for a reason to customize him into a better Moon Knight!)

Besides of course OOO's Sahgozo plus default, W's default and fang joker, and then Wizard +forms! They can skip Agito. Kuuga wouldn't be hard to round out from the parts they already have on his two figures released either. Those parts can be mixed and matched to make his other forms!) I am glad they did "the First" and "the Next" movie riders at least. Since they don't blend with the normal MRS KR figures style, I keep them on my movie shelve in front of the Microman movie realized series live action Casshern. Makes for a more diverse movie shelf too. SHIELD/Avengers/GI Joe, then Kamen Rider 01, 02, and v3, Casshern, then DC movies (missed Hal Jordan GL by accident), then the Villians. Which for me right now is only Avengers Loki, a custom Illyria, and Kurse. I skipped Destroyer by accident.

Went and picked up some flat black paint today finally. So now I was able to doctor up the two Robocops' hands. Also trying out an experiment with the clearanced out Nick Fury figure I went back and picked up the today to see how he looks on the Commander Rogers movie styled body to add a little more variation to the molds on my 616 shelf. So far not digging the slight size difference though. May have been a better idea to try and get the multi-pack fury from the IM2 line for that. It's scaled better as a GI Joe head. Avengers Fury's head is at that between point of just slight too small for the MU Commander Rogers buck, but slightly too big for the new movie Rogers costume.

*Edit*
Used my Doctor Who sonic screwdriver flashlight to get some light in there for the auto focus to kick in, and it worked! I get to actually say I sonic'ed my camera to make it take pics in focus now. xD

Here are the results of the SHIELD shelf, and also took a pic of the quick head swap for the "Agent Fury" in Secret Avengers. The Robocops look 100 times better now with both hands black too.


That bike is a repainted Animated Prowl. Since I had Samurai Prowl for my collection, I took the original and trimmed up the head, painted it white, and then trimmed up a SHIELD insignia to fit inside. Now it makes for great SHIELD bike +ninja robo support.

Paper craft coke machine behind the bad guys. When I was setting up the new backdrops, I saw one and couldn't resist adding it too.

A little cross movie universes.


My movie Avengers. That empty space is where Antman, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver will go. Yup, I keep the Hugh Jackman Logan figure on my Movie shelf too, but he has no hands anymore since all of those went to various customs. That's why I need a new one! Hopefully when Hasbro gets to doing X-Men movie line figures, I can fit them somewhere on this shelf too.


This pic came out better than I expected in composition with War Machine between Fury and Falcon. Pure fluke cause I was taking these pics blind more or less. I like how it turned out though.


And lastly, a bad angle on the new Fury custom I just did standing next to Ross' Thunderbolts. (I hope they do a Red skulled Punisher and Elektra two pack!) Ghost Rider's bike is Oil Slick repainted with some Human Torch flame accessories clipped on.

The cigarette boxes will eventually be painted up to be platforms. They're only temporary until I can find better. (Smoker household sadly, so those are easy to come by for cardboard pieces and shapes when needed. Which yes, is part of the yellowing on certain figures that have been near it.)
