Your mods/customs were superior to 99% of what I've seen on there, barring one or two regulars. Anyway, please let us all know when your site is up. Even as a 'non-moder' I'd visit to see what you came up with....that Phoenix you were creating was looking particularly delectable. Did you ever finish her?

In other news, my Hulkbuster wave arrived on Friday:




Unfortunately, I'll be selling and replacing my Valkyrie due to a torn right shoulder peg (also the reason for her not being posed very dynamically). Between Hasbro's insistence on this softer grade of plastic, and the awkward positioning within the package itself, I was delivered a brand-new 'broken' toy...Whoot! Additionally, I will likely end up selling (or parting-out) my Hulkbuster and replacing that fig (given the cost, I'm really not looking forward to that ). I had to blow-dry the column that connects the abdomen to the sternum (pelvis to trunk? I'm clueless about the names for these parts) just to get it to rotate. However, after assembly, the fig's upper body is difficult to twist and makes horrendous 'click'-ing noises when I try to do so. While I don't plan to take many pics with it, I'd like to have one that works correctly. Kinda of a bummer that I'd have two lemons within the same wave...

That's by design. Its a ratchet joint, they all do that.
