Happy I could help!!!

Like I said, patience is key, channel your inner zen.

I know a lot of people don't or won't collect customs, and I really don't understand it. The level of detail often exceeds the quality of what a factory assembly line can produce.

I have nearly every figure that the MU/Infinite line has released, and the only ones I don't have are by choice, like say a Doc Sampson. A character I can't care enough about to spend money on.

My collection is ridiculous, not only do I have almost every figure loose, but I also have a carded counterpart. I used to only collect loose, but then I got on forums and started seeing the moc only folks and got super nutty and decided to have both.

The whole point of toys is to play with them, for them to be opened and interacted with. I understand the want to have the figures on card, because I have them as well, but only having a moc collection is a little sad.

Now I don't have a lot of the "rare" figures out there on card, glossy this vs shiny that, long hair vs short hair, white shirt vs black shirt, reverse card art and so on and so fourth. And I'm not saying I wouldn't want to own those figures. But I don't have the connections to get those at an affordable price, and I'm not interested in getting scalped to all hell just to own them. I'd love to own the carded Moonknight/Antman pack and things like that, but it's just not in the cards for me.

I've focused more on owning the best customs I can. To me, they are worth more than any rare figure out there, because in most cases, it's the only one that exists.

Take this Bloodshed figure For instance. It's hard for me to pick a favorite anything when the question is asked, food, movie, action figure etc. Because I have so many awesome figures (hasbro releases, and customs) that it's hard to pick one.

But when I first laid eyes on it, I was entranced. Go figure that a relatively obscure character turns out to be quite possibly the best action figure I've ever seen. The detail on this figure is unreal, I pinch myself every time I see it because I can hardly believe I own it. And the best part? It's the only one in the whole world, what's rarer than that?





Saying that figure is the finest I've ever seen because I also own this jewel. When I commissioned it I never imagined it would be this awesome. It has individually articulated fingers, a feature I never thought possible on a 1:18 scale figure. They were, I imagine painstakingly added, by the maker. And the mask was also, masterfully hand crafted, and added an amazing feature to an already phenomenal figure.









A figure hasbro has released hundreds of times, yet failed to get right once.

With what is happening to our beloved MU line, customs are going to be the only way to get quality figures from here on out. Unless they come to their senses over there and decide to recommit to the greatest action figure line ever.
